If nobody has figured out this simple puzzle by the day after Christmas, I will start to fill in some of the blanks, although you should figure it out.

Man I love torture.

PS. there are no spaces in between the numbers, they were caused by this forum

Wow thanks a lot Little Birdy!

Hmm, I notice the letters in there. I wonder if they have any significance.

Edit: Looking back at it, I realized that it could be a phone keypad code. For example a 2 could be either an A, B, or C. The letters are splashed in there to make it easier.

Can't be. There's no spaces between numbers, so it must be digits 1-9.

Interesting...

Looking at the code, I noticed that 0's are always preceded by 2's. That must have some significance. Maybe a 20?

The 0's are probably actually 20's or 10's. Keep in mind that a 18 could be either AH or R.

the code is really easy.

a=1
t=20
h=8
e=5 etc

its just purely an alphanumeric code. I'm just too lazy to figure it out. WW = 2 white.... BB = 2 black.... Someone with more time than me can use this template

a-1
b-2
c-3
d-4
e-5
f-6
g-7
h-8
i-9
j-10
k-11
l-12
m-13
n-14
o-15
p-16
q-17
r-18
s-19
t-20
u-21
v-22
w-23
x-24
y-25
z-26

The code isn't as simple as 1=a. For instance, is 18 R or AH?
