Thanks you & have fun!

Code #2 has been cracked, just waiting for the user to make an official post.

Good luck on the other two everyone! 👍

haha sorry, forgot to tell you about it.
When I created it, I overlooked something which essentially just gave it all away lol oh well.

Battery sent me a pm earlier a lil of how he did it, but I don't exactly understand it haha but it did make me realize a flaw. 🤦‍♂

Anyways, good luck with the others! 🤗

Anyone have any luck with Code #1? Thoughts? 🤭

* - TheDubWubCub - Jun 1, 2015

Seeing how a few days have gone by with no response, I have updated the thread with a hint for Code #1.

Here's the hint:
