I got the email, but puzzle isn't complete. Don't understand whats missing. Maybe correct email subject?

I see. I still haven't been able to decipher it to get the email address, how were you able to?

Maybe this can help

Tip #1 : 100 letters all numbered from 1 to 100 when reading from left to right then top to bottom.

Tip #2: Take pi and split into pieces of 2. At what position is the @ sign?

Re:The Toughest Developer Puzzle Ever by lucia on Thursday July 09, 2009 @10:08AM (#695870)
Hm well it's the 53rd letter, and the pi number is "48".

I've tried adding them up and the ASCII of the letter to try to get the actual decrypted letter but that doesn't seem to work so well. :C

Looking too far

pi is 3.14592653589793238462643383

See a 53 in there? :)

Then what position is the dot? See that number in there?

then again, as I said before, I'm not sure this email is the valid one. I got an answer, but not the one expected...

Apparently there is an auto responder set up, to notify you if have found the correct address.
Re:The Toughest Developer Puzzle Ever by mc_mc on Thursday July 09, 2009 @01:52PM (#696341)
but it seems that something is incorrect even if this email is valid... Need more hints! This is like a neverending story
