well there is a 2, in 28

then you have  2, 8, 

which is 28

then 20,


which is 2, 8, 20 = a 28

then you have 28,


skip 50 (i don't know how it got in there, must  be some mistake)

then you have 126, 6 +2 is 8 that's 1 28


it must be magic.


Do they have backspace on ATM machines? I'll wait to the 28th to try it!
