Everybody's PIN Number: Revealed!

by Volker Weber

Hilarious:

Someone actually wrote in requesting an explanation as to how this thing works.

Sorry, we do not reveal our trade secrets.

Hard to believe somebody wrote in. On the other hand...

Damn it. All of my PINs are in that list.

I'm going to have my lawyer write to him and have them removed immediately.

Make sure you tell them exactly which ones to remove.

Roughly on a par with http://3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592.com

@Frank: Nice one!

Mine isn't on there.

"sans plague" was a typical and often used expression of the famous circus-clown Grock (Adrien Wettach, *10.01.1880). While performing in German speaking locations this expression was translated to "nied möögli" (nicht möglich, impossible).

Of course, if all possible combinations of 4-digit-numbers are in this way submitted by your list of revealed pin-numbers, any of all possible 4-digit Pin-number is included. However, It does not proof that you are in possession of the indentification and the details involved with it. But this may change. Since you are now offering the removal numbers on request, you will obtain by this the address involved and may be details in behind, if people are foolish enough to do so. I am astonished that this tricky undertaking of yours has not been stopped by surveying authorities since criminal intents can not be excluded a priori.

sincerelly yours

Shall I remember this for you?




Use your full name and a working email address. Unless you want your comment to be removed. No kidding.
