It might be a pun on Quick Response Code --109.91.114.82 10:25, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

It's not a pun, it's a widely used abbreviation Hippyjim (talk) 11:25, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
I meant that needing to scan it in 12 seconds might be a pun on "Quick Response". --93.232.203.46 14:11, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

The only real way would be to screenshot, print, and scan... possible in about 30 seconds. Anyone want to run a time trial?--69.140.11.243 11:05, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

No it's possible. With the right Emacs command and a Delorean Hippyjim (talk) 11:25, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
What about simply using other phone or camera to make a photo and display it on its display for the camera of this phone? BTW, why are the phones so stupid they can't display two applications at once? -- Hkmaly (talk) 11:30, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

You can take a screenshot of your screen (at least in Android) and then read the image with your qr-reading-program. Then it'll display the decoded QR-code, and you'll type it in the app. 189.125.162.182 14:00, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

The title text says that additionally the checksum of the camera is checked. So no trick with screenshots would be possible. However I don't see a problem with second camera which displays the photo (as suggested above). --Chtz (talk) 14:05, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

I think the link should be shown at "Explanation". I can't see it at the original comic, so "Transcript" is the wrong section.--Dgbrt (talk) 17:11, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
