Hi everyone,
Thought I would play a game and offer a free pint to the winner. It’s really simple, all you have to do is work out the secret code from the 2 paragraphs below. I’ll give you a hint to start you off with, and will post more hints as time goes on if nobody gets it. And remember, I really will buy a pint to whoever works it out when I see them.
Here’s you’re first hint, the code is a number. That’s all for now! Have fun…
We’re sitting on the side of a wall. Whilst sitting we have no care in the world. And as strangers pass us by, we don’t mind if they stop and stare. We just assume they’ve no other place to go nor piece of mind. For whilst they may lack the love of this beautiful day, we as Bar Billiards players embrace it.
But now I must ask you all a question! Do you really know what I’m talking about? What exactly is the point in all this? Have I explained the rules correctly? And even if you do understand the rules, is this game fun or annoying? So with those questions in mind, I’ll keep it simple for now. But do try and crack this code. For a free pint, I know you’re bound to give it a try!

Zero? Or 0?

Ah, knowing you Glenn, the answer is probably...... Rick Astley! ::) :P ;D ;D ;D

No it's not Zero or 0, and Warrior, unless you can boil Rick Astley down to a number, you're also wrong :)
I should clarify, the code is the answer. So basically the answer is a number. But who out there is clever enough to figure it out and claim the free pint?

Since you are getting all deep and meaningful.... how about 42.... the meaning of life. ;D Obviously, if Rick Astley was a number.... it would have to be MINUS 42 as his songs kill me! :P ;D ;D ;D

No it's not 42! You're way off actually.
Hint Number 2: the answer is a number between 10 and 20 digits.

We should run a tipster competition about who we think is going to crack the code first. My bets on Tommo..... He just seems to have that kind of brain!

Nope Barbleman, try again.
I know it seems pointless, but trust me if you really want to find the answer, it is there for the whole world to see :)

Interesting theory's, but none right so far.
Next big clue, and this is a fairly big one. I'm looking for a 13 digit number. That should give you some clues if you look closely enough.

Good guesses, but no...
here's an example of the 13 digit number...
4561843146781
No dots or anything, just like that.
Here is my last, and most telling clue.....
Secret codes are much like computer programming. You can tell who wrote a piece of software by looking at the code, because the personality of the coding always resembles in some way the person who wrote it.
So for example, a neat and tidy code would show it was written by a neat and tidy person.
Now think about me. Look at the number 13 and see if you can find why it's a 13 digit code. But more importantly, think about the person who came up with this puzzle, and the kind of personality, or things that he likes doing at the moment. Believe it or not, the person that has come by far the closest to cracking it so far was the Warrior, with his very first post!
That's my final clue, I'll leave you all to ponder.

It's something to do with Rick Astley!

Ah, knowing you Glenn, the answer is probably...... Rick Astley! ::) :P ;D ;D ;D To which you replied.... No it's not Zero or 0, and Warrior, unless you can boil Rick Astley down to a number, you're also wrong :) I should clarify, the code is the answer. So basically the answer is a number. But who out there is clever enough to figure it out and claim the free pint? It looks like you are changing the rules as we go along and must owe me (at least) half a pint....!! :P ;D ;D ;D
