If you need a workaround just for the day of Kickoff before you can download the unencrypted version, try going to Print and Saving to PDF at that point.

Try Thompson Pass just outside Valdez. Average yearly snowfall ~550" or about 46 feet!

Wow that's how glaciers are made which would still be a faster process than trying to use brute force to decrypt the manual.

[DonRotolo]

So are you saying that we should try brute force to make a glacier?

OK, so my Left Coast geography isn't what it should be. I was going to use Bemidji or Kapuskasing, but these didn't have the name recognition I needed.

I guess the point is that almost everyone reading this thread just has to wait until January 4 to learn what problem will consume their lives for the first part of 2014. You do have your game clue, isn't that enough??

What is this "enough" of which you speak?

Has it been announced as being out yet? If it has not been announced, then it's probably (almost certainly) not out yet.

There's always a blog post and announcement when it's out. They always inform us of when the encrypted manual is out, so people actually download and use it on kickoff day.

They have apps to go along with the encrypted files. Find the app on your app store. Its called FRC Manual. I have a couple links below.
