Title: Password
Post by gotit on Oct 13^th, 2008, 7:18am

William passed away after a prolonged illness. In his will, he wrote to his son David that all his money was in a safe. All David had to do was to guess the password of the safe. The password, he wrote, consisted of 7 digits and the hint to the password was his own name.

Forgive me if I sound like Iceman. ;)

You sound better than me. After all, the safe isn't custom made. :P ::)

No; because it's the answer hidden in the orange field of Grimbal's post.

Can anyone explain how grimbal's answer is the correct one?

A hint: The safe probably has a numeric keypad.

I like these ones, not too insanely hard, but still requiring some amount of thought.
