1003.0. "NETWORK Magazine hidden accounts" by ASABET::SILVERBERG (My Other O/S is UNIX) Mon Jul 15 1996 11:55

    In the latest issue of NETWORK, I could only find 8 Account
    Numbers of the 10 supposed to be listed for the $10 prize.
    I tried many times and could only find 8.  Did anyone find
    all 10?  Don't tell me where they are, just if there are 
    actually 10 to be found.

I think I located nine.

    I found ten.  I checked ELF against the numbers and only 4 came
    up as still working here.  The rest came up with the message:
    
    No ELF Entries Satisfied Your Search Criteria.

They aren't necessarily all badge numbers, are they?

1003.4I can only find 8 numbers as well...GEMGRP::MONTELEONEWed Jul 17 1996 14:4511

   Yes, in the Summer 1996 issue, I only found 8 account numbers as well. I went
   over it quite a few times, but cannot locate the remaining 2 numbers.


   I found 2 numbers on the first page, 3 numbers on the second page, 1 number on
   the third page and 2 numbers on the fourth page.

Does that mean the prize is only $64(10)?

Hmm, are we talking about the same thing?

The one I received with this month's statements is only a single 
sheet, front and back, so there are no 3rd and 4th pages.  I found 10 
numbers (4 front, 6 back).

1003.8blind as a bat?ASABET::SILVERBERGMy Other O/S is UNIXThu Jul 18 1996 10:427
    I'm talking about the big glossy NETWORK Summer 1996 4 page 
    brochure, and I can't find more than 8 numbers.
    
    re: thinking octal = still doesn't help - I'm stumped

	  I went through the four-page one last night, highlighting account
     numbers with a yellow highlighter and highlighting non-account numbers
     with a blue highlighter.  At the end, I had all text, including table
     headings and entries, text in illustrations, headlines, and so forth,
     highlighted.

	  There are eight account numbers given -- unless they are counting
     digit strings that appear in things like dates, routing numbers, page
     numbers, and such, as "hidden" account numbers, or unless the two
     missing account numbers were printed with white ink.

	  Perhaps we should all call in and ask for our $20 as our account
     numbers were the ninth and tenth ones -- if the DCU disagrees, ask
     they prove us wrong.  ;-)

1003.108 numbers only because of article pulledSTARCH::brevet.shr.dec.com::WHALENFri Jul 19 1996 13:185
A co-worker decided to call the DCU when she could also only find 8 numbers.  She was 
told that an article was pulled out of the Summer 1996 issue of Network, and they 
forgot to put the 2 numbers that were in that article back in.

I'll bet it was my number that got pulled :-)
