Well, of course there’s going to one number that is different, or else the pretense of it being a contest would be lost. But it is cheaper just to give everyone else the same number.

Yes, I have also received a CodeKase in the mail. It’s just as you described: black oval with a code inside. But instead of having a 7-digit code inside, mine only has six. This puzzles me.

Not in the least bit surprising.
