am yisrael chai–
If I had a way to get the info to you and you only I’d gladly do so, as I believe you’d keep it to yourself.
However, since this is a public forum, and the puzzle is a private message intended for just one recipient, I can’t post it here if it isn’t OK with “squeak” (which I believe it isn’t).
Sorry.
Dr. Pepper–
Thank you for the kind words, but apparently in this case you’ve misoverestimated me.
Perhaps the synapses are showing the strain of age or work-related stress.
Maybe it’s just rust from not trying your puzzles for several months.
Sometimes my kludged solutions are the result of brute force grunt work, sometimes there’s a “Eureka!” moment, but regardless of how it’s done there is some satisfaction to actually figuring out the answer.
In any case, although logic and trivia are more my thing, your puzzles are probably better as true mental exercises.
Please keep ’em coming.
