I messed it up this morning to show him how to use it but I couldn't get it back to the start again. I'll be using that link more than once! Haha see what happens when you try to solve one with an ad blocker in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only came out in it's first form in 1980. But you're right, it did come with a how to solve it sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at least 6 months before the "crack" got passed around lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know too much about this sort of thing as I just happened to find it all out as I was into the "forum" (so to speak). Of course I wasn't even alive in 1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
