I am soooo impressed with my husband. He got it the first time! And I had been working on it for about 10 times. No wonder I married him - he's soooo smart.

Dear Derek;
In comparison to those who have literally taken a year to get it -
the LPSF Discussers who have done it have solved the game in record
flat out lightning flash time. Smart Bunch we got's here - eh!
It's an evil way to cause a person to kill time - when all's they
have to do is count the "petals around the rose".

Ron,
You've let the cat out of the bag by telling us your real motive! 8) Why not send it to some members of Congress instead? Maybe some of their aids would check out the link.

Dear Starchild;
Great idea I will get it to every pol in Sacramento and Washington and SF and every pol anywhere who's got an e-mail. That should slow things done on the tax and spenders everywhere.

BTW: The new poltical speech will be: when elected I will devote my time to solving the "petals around the rose" game on behalf of all the citizens of this great _____ (fill in the blank space)
BTW BTW speaking about blank spaces how about those blank spaces between the ears of every pol???
Hardly. As the page says, the smarter you are, the longer it takes to
figure it out. Since I didn't get it at all until you gave it away
(damn you), I'm the smartest one here!

Dear Justin
