Chanced upon your page...Toyed with it unsuccessfully...muttered...looked beyond mathmatical formulae....no luck ....cursed again....why should I invest time in solving a paradigm of some unknown gamester? BAH! Later that evening, I returned to the puzzle's scene with the sole intent of showing the puzzle to my wife, who enjoys such torture. I intended only to log on and let her at it. Stupid game. As I waited there for her, I looked at the monitor, then....I SAW it. I knew it was some such nonsense, but ...I didn't so much "solve" it, as discovered it. Hmmmmm..... Advice: Let your mind ruminate on it subconciously...then return triumphant!

suffer the thorns to savor the beauty of the rose.
