Bryce Burkholder, Cryptographer. Almost.

Grandma and Grandpa were watching the boys for us on Tuesday so we could go out and celebrate our 12th anniversary.  At some point, Bryce brought my mom's phone to my dad and said, "I found a free game!"  He had gone into the app store, searched for a game by name, found it, and begun the installation process.  All he needed was the password.  He asked, "What's the password?"  My dad answered that he would do it, and Bryce tried to insist that he could enter it if you told him what the password was.  Thankfully, Grandpa was smart enough to avoid that one!  He took the phone and began to enter the password.  Bryce instructed, "Enter it slowly."  He was peeking over Grandpa's shoulder to get a look at the magic code that unlocks an infinite amount of entertainment.  So Grandpa covered up the phone as he entered it in.  Bryce said, "No, don't cover it up!  Move your hand, and enter it s-l-o-w-l-y."  Whatever you do, DON'T give Bryce your password!  And don't let him see even one letter or number!  He WILL spend hours trying over and over again until his cracks the code.  Maybe he has a future with the CIA cryptography department. :)
