Quote: Actually CJJ III refers to Curtis James Jackson III OK, 50 cent - the Franklin half - I get it! Quote: This was mainly about his flying a kite in a storm. You mean that's a myth?!? I want a refund on my public education! Quote: I originally was going to have this hint read UFC, 1736. That MIGHT have helped a tiny bit, but Google UFC 36 and see where THAT rabbit hole leads! Quote: True. But, if you look at the C position, there's an extra coin, showing two letters (coins) in one square. That tells you which first letter is duplicated. That's true if you use column/row coordinates, but unfortunately for me I was using row/column. What you call the "C" position I had as the "K" or "L" position. Initially I tried to solve the puzzle by saying that 3,1 was K or L and 3,2 was L or M - PLUS there was a mistake in the code that 3,1 should have been 1,3 in one instance. I knew I was VERY close but a few details didn't add up. It never occurred to me that Steve's grid and your hint #9 would provide the answer. It's obvious now, of course! Well done!

juzzyb => you don't get any posting-credit for any of the sub-folders within "Coin Community Family Stuff" (which includes the ever-popular Contests, Quiz & Giveaway threads) ...... plus, you don't get posting-credit for "General Discussion" which is a sub-folder in The General Numismatic Discussion Forums (NOTE => home to the greatest thread of all-time => "The Never-Ending Story")
... but I'm pretty sure that you get posting-credit everywhere else, because the topics are all money/coin-related

Posts in certain forums do not increase your post count. The contest forum is one of them.

Moe, I don't see how to send a PM. I sent a message via email. If you can't see the email I sent you or send me one through CC interface, let me know and we will figure out how to communicate!
