    If you are the first person who can guess this entire message correctly, and post the answer as a comment in my blog, I will send you a geeks belt from the Streat.

    Not quite sure about the g3s b2t there.

    How about: “If you are the first person who can guess the entire message correctly, and post the answer as a comment in my blog, I will send you a glass boot from the Summit” ?

    Having said that, working day-to-day with accessibility, I much prefer being able to type it in 4 characters!

    â??If you are the first person who can guess _this_ entire message correctly, and post the answer as a comment in my blog, I will send you a glass boot from the Summitâ?

    “if you are the first person who can guess this entire message correctly and put the answer as a comment in my blog I will send you a glass butt from the street.”

    Make with the glass butt already.

    A little more likely but not as funny:

    If you are the first person who can guess this entire message correctly, and post the answer as a comment in my blog, I will send you a glass boot from the Summit.

    Okay. Time to let other people take a stab.

    There are 7000 possibilities for ‘g3s b2t’. I’m not sure if it is a “girl’s butt” or “glass boot” but I want it. Don’t make me post all 7000 possibilities :).

  12. “If you are the first person who can guess this entire message correctly, and post the answer as a comment in my blog, I will send you a glass boot from the Summit.”

    Are you SURE you want to do that? If I really got it right and am the first, sending it to Austria is going to be expensive and may well break the precious souvenir…

    “If you are the first person who can guess this entire message correctly, and post the answer as a comment in my blog, I will send you a glass boot from the Summit.”

    I’ll admit, guessing “glass boot” took longer than the rest of the sentence, but those words make the most logical sense in context. Solving the whole thing took less than two minutes, even trying to figure out each possible combination that “g3s b2t” might be. Still, that’s good fun. I find myself wondering if you’ve seen The DaVinci Code. Got any other puzzles for your readers? 😉
