This is a simple contest that I found I can make the most unique. I will post the key but rearrange 8 of the Characters, today at 3pm PDT I will post the answer in this post. If someone guesses it correctly before then congrats!
[spoiler]Scrambled: ZJZHZ7-NPXN-6KNWBB-2TGN-22YT9F[/spoiler]
Good luck!
Edit: Post here if you got it or let me know via PM so i can kind of update this so no one else is spending the time for nothing.
Edit2: Letters are only rearranged with other letters same with numbers. ex: AB = BA 12 = 21 type of thing.
Edit3: @ 1pm PDT I will give a clue with 2 of the characters rearranged to increase the odds as we get closer to 3pm PDT and once again @ 2pm PDT!
Edit4: Looks like someone cracked the code after the first clue was given out. Congrats to them. Contest is over.
ZJZHZ6-NPNX-7KNWBB-2TGN-22FT9Y was the correct key

Haha this sounds fun, I'll try it. Are the 8 characters rearranged completely randomly or is there say a couple from each section?

I tried to keep them close together.

Uh i tried but the chances of getting it right are extremly low 
|
I was gonna guess but I just won the Facebook contest and got a beta key :D Im so happy!
But Gl to you guys, im so giddy with happiness.
|
Yeah, the chances here are astronomically low that someone will get it before the deadline.
|
Yes I realised this. So I put a new gimmick into it. Check out Edit3.

You do realize that without telling us what positions were rearranged it's almost like guessing a full beta key, right?

Hehe okay. I will bold the parts that were changed @ 1 2 pm PDT when I update the key to have some put back in their proper place.

I'm not going to bother trying to win the key but I will at least show everyone else what they are getting into if they decide to pursue this...
+ Show Spoiler [MATH] +The number of derangements of n ordered items is the number of ways of arranging the n items such that no item remains in its original position. We will denote this by d(n). There are two classes of objects, numbers and letters. If k numbers are deranged, then 8 - k letters are deranged. In the scrambed beta key posted, there are 6 numbers and 20 letters. Thus the total number of possible beta keys is given by: Put simply, if you were to try 1 possible valid scrambling of this beta key every SECOND (which I highly doubt you can), it would take you just over 65.2 years to try them all. Have fun!

OK I updated it with the changes.
