    A lot of people have been asking me how to solve the hard puzzle at the booth (pretty much exclusively at the booth). Tomorrow at 6pm-ish, I will reveal the code and how I found it in this thread, just so people don't leave wondering what it is. Tomorrow through out the day I'll be stopping by the booth giving people a few more hints to see if other people can guess it.

    As I've been saying all weekend, part of finding it out is what makes it fun. There is nothing in the hard case you don't get from the easy case. I'm not trying to be smug or mean by not telling you, I just want you to find it out for yourself for the satisfaction of solving a problem you couldn't solve.

    That being said, curiosity is a SOB. I understand some people just want to know what it was, and I get it. I don't know how many of them will make it to the forums, but I do want the answer out there just so they can know what it was.

    See you PAX peoples tomorrow :D

    Good idea! Some people can get closure that way. =) Come to us when you can since we may pack a little earlier to hit the long road north to Montreal.

    So what the puzzle was showing was X11 web code for midnight blue. The answer is 191970. The way I found it was just by using Google, typed in "midnight x11", and found the wiki page about midnight blue, and hit "jump to x11" and was greeted with the 6 digit code.

    It seems so easy in retrospect :p
