Luckily these cryptographers don't claim to be psychics, eh?

This is seriously old news. It's already been in Randi's commentary and he's changed the item and posted a new code that shouldn't be as obvious. In any case, he wasn't the only person to get that far and didn't actually solve the challenge. Quite a few people worked out that it was a book reference, but no-one, including this guy, ever got further than working out it was a CD or DVD. A psychic would have had to know what CD it was.
