First person to tell me what that string is and how I arrived at it wins...oh I dunno...maybe this beat up old 1st gen iPod Shuffle (the original chewing gum stick model).

But you have to tell me how I arrived at it - you can't just guess what it is.

You have until midnight.

Lol never tried to Google it, that's hilarious!

It's a real castle in a real town - no longer in the possession of the family because of back taxes, as I understand it.
