So, here’s what I’m getting, but I’m probably doing it wrong:
THE UNITED STATES
ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL
Okay, so the rules say the letters don’t have to be adjacent, so let’s start with something easy and get rid of the pair of U’s:
THE NITED STATES
ONE HNDRED DOLLAR BILL
Also, let’s get rid of the spaces:
THENITEDSTATESONEHNDREDDOLLARBILL
Okay, next how about the two pairs of L’s:
THENITEDSTATESONEHNDREDDOARBI
And there’s 4x T’s, so away they go:
HENIEDSAESONEHNDREDDOARBI
I see 5x E’s, so let’s remove 4 of them:
HNIDSASONHNDREDDOARBI
And a pair of I’s:
HNDSASONHNDREDDOARB
Oh, and there’s 4x D’s:
HNSASONHNREOARB
I see a pair of H’s:
NSASONNREOARB
Pair of R’s:
NSASONNEOAB
Pair of O’s:
NSASNNEAB
Pair of S’s:
NANNEAB
Pair of A’s
NNNEB
An lastly, a pair of N’s (with a third, which we can save)
NEB
Which is, of course, BEN spelled backwards
(And if this isn’t the right answer, then someone needs to clarify the instructions...)
That is name of the person on the $100 bill.
You have earned [Rh] points toward a Junior Woodchuck's Cadet Steganographer cardboard medallion.
Alas, we had to delete them all, since you ignored instructions by posting the solution & answer publicly, spoiling the aha! thrill for other diggers.
LOTSA WORK, THERE :)
I GOT ‘B’
