Today's Scorched Key (June 29th) has been won.

ADTR1958 was today's free Scorched Key winner. He was the first to send us the code which was "From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire" which was hidden in the text of the 2nd to last blog post on the front page. The full text of the hint read "getting a scorched item that opens boxes requires one to send something to us and it is [From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire]". Congratulations to ADTR1958 for winning today's Scorched Key and good luck to everyone else for tomorrow's two (that's right, we're doing two different codes tomorrow on Saturday) free Scorched Keys. If you're new to the contest read more here and here.

In case you were wondering the text comes from Robert Frost's poem "Fire and Ice" which you can read in full here.
