⇥ The Tabini Challenge, v.2.0

Well, sports fans, my first challenge was solved way too quickly—which I think calls for a slightly more sophisticated approach to trying to drive my five readers crazy.

So, here’s the next challenge:

As the more perceptive among you will have guessed, the goal of the challenge is to decode the text above and e-mail it to me. All the information you need to decode the challenge is contained in this blog post—you won’t need anything more than a bit of imagination and (possibly) some deduction.

Here are the rules:

• The winner is the first person from whom I receive an e-mail with the correct answer. I am not responsible for e-mail messages that get lost in any way, and the timestamp on my end is the final judge of who gets here “first”. If you win, you agree to allow me to post your name (and URL if you like) here—just so that everyone else knows I’m not making the winners’ names up.
  
  
• The riddle does have a solution—but it is, of course, possible that I have made a mistake in calculating it. In that case, I will void the contest and post a correct one.
  
  
• The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate that can be spent at the php|architect online store on any product, without any limitation, so long as the entire $50 is spent on a single order (sorry, that’s the way our store works). The coupon will expire after one year from the date of issue.
  
  
• The contest closes on May 31, 2008, at which point I will post the correct solution if no-one has sent it to me yet.
