The Riddle of the Hidden Characters: Contest Answer and Winner!
It’s time to reveal the solution—and the winner—for this month’s InDesignSecrets contest!
This time, you had to decipher the meaning of this image (with a little help from the InDesignSecrets Guide to Special Characters.)

Or, 1 = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/8
And the winner is…
Marina Thompson
Marina wins a copy of WordsFlowPro from Em Software!
