Put a crew on reassembling them. Send whoever ordered the shredding to prison.
If it works, I'm for it. Period. As far as I am concerned, it can use the extended ASCII set with mixed fonts and vary from zero to 15 or so characters. After reading a bunch of guys complaining about it, I tried the pre-solve. I got 9 characters, mixed 3:6 numerals:letters and solved it on the first try in about 5 seconds. If I can do it, then the smart guys should be able to solve it even faster, keeping in mind that if a character can't be read, clicking the solve button will give you a new set to work with. In fact, after a set number of failures (five?), you should get a 5 minute time out.
If you can't solve it in five tries, you're probably too stupid to be posting anyway.
Trump doesn't have to be a genius โฆ just smarter than the opposition and, if there indeed is a plan, smart enough to read his lines.
