Indeed! When I was trying, I didn't get it. Stevebert did but not this kid!
I didn't get it either. AJ must be a genius! :bigcheese:
I use to be good at that kind of thing, but I've gotten out of puzzles. just sorta started back at soduku, and I need to go back to logic puzzles as well. We did those in about 8th grade and I loved them, but haven't been able to finish one since.
Don't like soduku. Numbers make me (http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/more/bigs/a136.gif)
