Hi

I have been following the tread as am keen to get a half term holiday and am hoping to get 8th word and book today....

people have been saying you can't code crack on a mac but I have an old mac book and the excel page has come up and let me replace the code words with this years and my email etc

Wondered what the problem other mac users had or if when the site goes live and I attempt words they won't work??

I think it's because it wants to open Internet Explorer - do you have IE on the Mac?

I couldn't see anybody co-ordinating a code crack attempt for the magically 8th code. Assuming the booking website opens tonight that would give an opportunity of several hours before the paper is published tomorrow with the final token.

In order to speed up the process and reduce duplication I am suggesting that we split the word list up into 20 parts (approximately 275 codes). I have access to 3 PCs so can take the first 3 allocations. If people are willing to take part then post a reply and assign yourself the next section.

You will need need excel on your PC (don't know if it works with open office or other spreadsheets). The cracking spreadsheet can be found here, post #435 (and many thanks to the person who put the spread sheet together)

forum.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=3708863&page=22

To use it,
Enter your priority booking code (part 1 and part 2 in the two seperate cells) and the 7 known codes

1.WISH
2.KIDS
3.HOLS
4.BARN
5.TIME
6.ACTS
7.MUST

Either change the line where you want the attempt to begin from to the one assigned or edit the word list on the second worksheet to only include the words that you are assinged.

Finally click the button to start the attempt and it will open a web page and connect to the booking web site and automatically start filling in the details.

I have not used the spreadsheet before but I suspect it will take one or two minutes per attempt so to go through your range of words will take several hours. Hopefully the website won't ban your IP if it sees multiple wrong attempts though I don't think this will happen as the code has been cracked before.

If you are successful the page will change to the one where you can start your actual booking.

At that point what I am suggesting as a good will gesture to the other people who are taking part in the attempt, send a PM to them and give them 1 hour to make their booking then after an hour post the code word on the forum.

Also if you manage to get through your word list without obtaining the keyword then post on here that your were unsuccessful.

I've just read this properly, and must say that PMing the others is not usually what we do. Many of us have sat for hours and hours trying to crack codes, year after year, some manually,and when it is cracked it is posted for all to see. as that's what we like to do here! good luck
