I commend you for reading the rules.
However, by your own statement, you have opened the rulebook beforehand and thus extended the six weeks (even if it's only a portion of the rulebook).
Also, where does it say that the six weeks starts when you get the rulebook? (I personally have counted the time from kickoff to shipdate)
I just have never seen a rule that prohibits attempts at figuring out the encryption key. Again, I'd not do so, but thats because I
WANT to be surprised on FIRSTmas (err...kickoff).
