Good puzzle. Took me a long time since I don't really like solving puzzles.

My son introduced this to me as an activity for his class. He had figured it out, and wanted to see if I could do it. Once I had the web site, it took me about 10 minutes of trial and error before I saw it.

Wow. Your pretty darn good. It took me a couple hours in all. I would do it like every other day. Now I am showing my little brothers and sister. It's intresting to see how their minds work. 1

Well, like many other puzzles, this one thrives on distractions (not that it's a bad thing).
You work it out this way and that, and nothing seems to make sense. Then you think, why the emphasis on the NAME of the game?
Then all you have to do is start thinking literally and poof! it's solved.
What's more fun, though, is watching people get increasingly frustrated as they start using more and more complex calculations.

I know. I was like dividing, multiplying, using fractions, and decimals. At the end it was like- what was I thinking?

I became a potentate in 1977. This is great fun to present to a family reunion gathering, etc.

My friend Bill emailed me this and I figured if it took him three hours, I'd be on it for days. Wrong. Once I reread the intructions and thought of them literally, it came quite fast. 20 minutes at best.
