For your chance to win an iPad or one of Nine runner up prizes you have to solve the code (I have no clue lol) If you have read the book Codex your in with a good chance of solving it :D All of the details you need are on the link below :)

Win iPAD with codex

I have no clue where to start with this one as I haven't read the book.

Nine runners up will also receive a copy of “Sequence” by Adrian Dawson on its release, currently scheduled for 31st March 2011.

Good Luck everyone :D

    ELS probably stands for Equidistant Letter Sequence.

    Here's an example of how the ELS method works: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bible_code#Equidistant_Letter_Sequence_method

    Essentially, pick a start point, then move backwards or forwards a given number of characters, note the letter, repeat until you have the message.

    Well done on the books.

    If you could point us in the direction of some good, virus free, free ELS software, that could be handy. :)

    Cheers.
  • You honestly don't need ELS software. If you read the book and see how Jack solves his puzzle, all will become clear. I've not made it complex enough to require additional software.

    All the best.

  • Oh, and BTW, thank you for the kind comment.
