For the Philippine Science High School (Pisay) alumni homecoming later this year, we’re doing a cryptanalysis contest via SMS. It’s called Da Pisay Code—doesn’t take a genius to figure out what inspired the title; doesn’t take a genius to crack the code either, but it helps. There’s a secret sentence, and every other week you get clues that will point to the word for that week. Towards the end of the contest you put all the words together in the correct sequence to form the secret sentence. The winner will be declared a genius and her/his name flashed on an LCD billboard on Edsa for a whole day. There’s a cash prize too, but we know what really matters. To register, text PISAY to 2299 (P2.50 per text). The first clue will be received via SMS next week.

The story of Da Pisay Code appears in today’s Emotional Weather Report in the Star. It contains other clues to help you decipher the sentence. If you should discover who the code team members are, do not, I repeat, do not attempt to ask them for help. Violators will be placed in a very cramped box with a very large and fragile vial of cyanide to experience Schrodinger’s parable of superposition.
