Creator of the Djinn Worm
- For two years, the people of Earth and Perplex City agonized over the identity of the scoundrel who created the Djinn virus.
- The list of potential guilty parties was quite long, and included such luminaries as Ruth Coralhouse and Sente Kiteway.
- This was no ordinary whodunnit, however. On a surly evening, in a surly bar, Garnet was tipped off by an unknown informant. He was given a deck of cards, and an abstract clue.
- This puzzlement would appear on Earth as Season 1 Card #243 - Shuffled (See: Shuffled)
- Suspicions teetered at considerable length. When asked to comment, in the hopes that he may give a clue, Garnet said the following:
Hello - You're quite right, Professor Kiteway was involved. If you can tell me what the message you deciphered was, I can shed some light on the mystery for you. Best Wishes, Garnet. |
- Solving Season 1 Card #243 - Shuffled revealed the creator of the Djinn Worm to be Fifteen-year-old Redward Price.
- This solve was achieved on 26th July 2007 by UKVer2.0
