0-9

^^ Ohhhhhhh so crafty!


Rathe, if you read what EA said they actually suggest you to do it this way, and they pretty much said that you'll find the last key by trying A-Z or 0-9.
Well that really sucks.  You only have a 50% chance of guessing right then.  If you choose to try A-Z and the key needs 0-9, you are screwed and vice versa.  What about caps too??  Is it case sensitive??  then it cuts it down to 33% chance of guessing.  Damn EA.
Never, but never question the engineers judgement.

Caps don't matter... And actually you only have to guess 36 times (26 letters + 10 numbers), and have 100% chance of getting it correct, given that you try all them.

Yeah that doesn't suck at all. (sans sarcasm)

That's way better than wasting $40. Just make sure you write down the correct character.

Tibs, you must be paid extremely well to not value guessing an extra character.  Even based upon entering 1 key code per minute and getting it on the last try, 36 entrys would be may and take 36 minutes.  Prorating the $40 bucks spent on the 2nd game from 36 minutes to 60 means that your time lost was worth more than $66/hr.  This does not take into account the time needed to acquire a new game.  

All I can say is that I want your job if you are making more than 66 bucks an hour or you truely pulled a BONEHEAD move throwing out the game.  Hmmm... sounds like a vote.

Sorry man, but you should have kept that dirty secret to yourself.

I think that's exactly what he is referring to.  In addition, that's wrong! At the very least it shouldn't be animated!!!! hahaha
