Yet Another Hint Decryption Bug

Recommended Posts

This cache has a hint which in clear is "&@3m" ("&" is the France Telecom logo on a phone box, 3 metres away).

 

When you click "decrypt", however, weird stuff happens. And you can continue to click "decrypt" multiple times.

 

I can imagine exactly why this is happening (Javascript vs. HTML ampersand handling, any Web programmer has his war stories to tell on this one), but can the brilliant minds at Groundspeak come up with a reliable solution which will work no matter how twisted the hint is? <_<
