This is a code with a question
"#|*|!|") $|!^|%|"( ")|*|% !#|!|!& "|%|^|!^|!* *|!|"(|")|(|!$|&|"( $|!^
this is hard right?

I took one look and decided it was too difficult... :p ;)

Okay, I will think about it... if I don't come back it's cos my brain has exploded from thinking too hard. (It's not used to it.)

Craig, I think I understand the principle of your code, trouble is that my Swedish language keyboard are totally different from the English language. I could try to set it to English, type and see what signs I will get from number 1-9 SHIFT, and see if it's the same as you have. Or am I off target?

It's american the @>" are switched and #>(pound sign) the ~>| \>#

This is what I get from my keyboard:

Swedish version:

! " # ¤ % & / ( ) =

American English version:

! @ # $ % ^ & * ( )

So as you see, my keyboard isn't compatible with yours whatever I do. Maybe it's because I have one those really small laptops with extra small keyboard.

But now I guess we've made it easy for anyone to crack the code, so Americans or Brits, please go for it. :)

Is that thingy on the $ is that your currency?

No Craig, it's not our currency. (Swedish currency has no special sign like £ or $, it's just "krona", "kr" for short.)

I have no idea what the ¤ thingy is...

Yeah - me to :) (but it irritates me even more that I can't crack it myself :mad: I hate it when I fail at stuff like this :D )
