last post for a while, she's holding the door waiting for me. I fixed the link to go right to the file. And there is a spreadsheet for everything.

I don't know how nod got this so quickly but if he uses spreadsheets like rik uses spreadsheets..I'm toast  I can use a spreadsheet to do simple things but I suspect that these have if,then and vlookups and everything else. I'm impressed with the sheets let alone the ability to use them to solve the puzzle. |

Actually, I use Word, not Excel.

Wow, Nod. you did very well. You solved a puzzle in 21 minutes that took everyone else hours, but still didn't solve. I'm very impressed.
May I ask, why did you represent "UT$BD!" as "itemsw (sic)" when it was clearly "items!"?
Just seems odd.
Please PM me your address so I can get these out to you.
Perhaps you will be hosting the next round?
Well played everyone!

Well, ! was the letter 'w' in the rest of the puzzle and there was not really anything to let me know that this specific ! was different from the other !s, so I went with it.

i was more wondering about what "(sic)" meant.

It is a Latin abbrev. It means that it was reproduced verbatim, and that I was aware of the misspelling.

Once again, Nod continues to impress!! Nicely Done!
(Hey Nod! Have you told the Forum about your future career good news? Just curious. I haven't seen anything about it... And I ain't saying nothin'!)
