Me too! How did you do it? :)

For each roman letter, it's possible to find another letter or symbol that looks like it upside down. Some are in other scripts (arabic, cyrillic, etc) and some are just different roman letters (eg d (delta) versus p (papa), or u (uniform) and n (november)).

I am sure there are web apps and other tools out there which will do the mapping for you, so you don't need a firm grasp of the Armenian alphabet yourself.

I guess it's really located in Australia then?

No, it was originally in Australia, and the idiot who sailed it over here forgot to do the necessary 'conversion' half way through the voyage.

Although it is rarely discussed in public, circumnavigators have to do it twice :cool:.

Thanks Bav34. That's a neat trick and a neat site.

I have to say some of you guys are pretty smart cookies.

And for The Echo, I say again: I have to say some of you guys are pretty smart cookies.

Upside down passwords !!-- Great idea, but it will have to be a cut and paste job for me. { I suppose this should be in the lounge]

I have had a lot of trouble with ebay losing advert pictures, wouldn't surprise me if they managed to put them in upside down without the advertiser knowing.
