When I saw 911 as the 5th number I thought... cool this will take a bit of thinking..... 12 seconds later it was obvious. Boo Hoo. hahaha

Yeah, I guess one of those ones that you either just see straight away... or spend 3 hours deciphering a lengthy alogrithm that isn't there. Although trywalker managed to find one :-)

Could it be this easy, I wonder?

If not, please be kind - remember my brain is pickled with Tramadol! LOL!
