Hmmm, it looks like hex, and it's not an IPv6 address.

It's also a Googlewhack, and it's something to do with the forum, implying that it's nothing directly on the forum's pages.

I agree, but would they moderate it if they didn't understand it?

I'm sure Mandrake would cotton on soon enough!

This is going to have me puzzled all weekend!

My current guess is a hash of some sort; the original post implies we should be able to figure out what it means, so either a word or a sentence. Have been trying to push some stuff through SHA-1 and similar, but no luck so far (even with brute force).

However, considering it should be clear for non-techies, I'm assuming no coding should be involved

I've looked at it and all get is a blinding headache....

Received mine today, wow

Thank you Secret Santa, first gift of the year, very nicely presented as well

I was like a little kid, thinking about opening it and everything, but stayed strong

Open it!!!

Come on Chris, opening a present in November is plain wrong isn't it?!

Don't do it dude!!

I'm in the same boat with one staring at me! Stay strong and call me if you have a weak moment.

Arrghhh!!

Where's mine - I want to have to prove my Iron Will too

You will buckle like a cheap bicycle wheel mate!

The answer is clear. Not necessarily the solution

I did not intend to hijack the thread. Just all festive run.
