The Message
Osama Bin Laden himself decided to send Obama a letter in his own handwriting to let him know he was still in the game. Barack opened the letter and it appeared to contain a single line of coded message:
370HSSV-0773H
He was baffled, so he e-mailed it to his aides and they had no clue either, so they sent it to the FBI. No one could solve it at the FBI so it went to the CIA, then to the NSA.
With no clue as to its meaning they eventually asked Britain's MI-6 for help.
Within a minute MI-6 cabled the White House with this reply "Tell the President he's holding the message upside down."
