It takes many hours to open a Revo and I think that it's already a big challenge, without adding other problems. Playing without holding the Revo with both hands would be a nightmare. I will just wait for more plastic Revos!

Re: Buyers and Sellers
I am sadly selling my Bronze Revo (that I received from Chris' hands in Essen last year!) due to my inability to handle such a heavy item.

Re: Unsolveable??
as the fist messages from Zodiac killer where decoded, I think he made up this fake code as a joke for the police. Maybe 20% of this page contains a real scrambled message, but a lot of stuff is just random glyphs, just to confuse the people trying to decode it.
