I went to Add-on-Con some weeks back to represent my employer, the Mozilla Corporation.
One of the goodies you get as a registrant was a jigsaw puzzle from the Google Chrome Extensions team.
Perfect, my wife and I love solving jigsaw puzzles. We finally finished a few days ago. Anybody who has started at all will realize the puzzle is of a QR-code. The QR-code is an extension that will eventually lead you to a prize. It was a bit of a mini-puzzle not nearly as difficult as finding the QR code.
Although finding a QR code scanner was a bit difficult, I had to borrow a HTC Magic from Justin Scott and installed a decent barcode scanner.
Hello Dave – My wife and I finished the puzzle about a week ago, but we don’t have a QR reader. I’ve emailed a picture of the completed puzzle to a friend with an Android, but he’s been unable to read it. Perhaps the quality of the image wasn’t good enough. Anyway, I’m dying to know what it says…
Hi Dave, I finished the puzzle over Christmas vacation too. Wasn’t it fun? I tried to read the code with my Nokia phone’s barcode reader, but it couldn’t get a “lock” on the image. It should work because we tried it out on a biz card with the samy type code on it and it read it.
I was thinking of photographing the puzzle, printing it out and then trying to read it. You think that may work?

That’s a funny puzzle
Hi,
It’s an encoded chrome extension. Which will ultimately lead you to a form that you can fill out. Nothing much beyond that unfortunately.
