sorry for the delay. My daughter and I have been working on Moe's puzzle. That last hint 'blew' us away.

I think you can catch up. I know it looks daunting but rikcando did a recount on like page 6 or 7. The whole rotation thing is cute. And I know I'm not going to be able to keep up a guess every hour

I'm not sure about that. I don't want to say too muich that might tip my hand but I think there are plenty of guesses left. and of course if I am wrong then my honorable competitors will chuckle quietly

ok, I have a question. and you can certainly choose not to answer. If a currency was in both solutions would that be counted as a 1 or 2 in the summation guess?

that must be one intriguing puzzle Moe put together! LOL

It is, but it is also nearly impossible. It can be done given a year or two with no interruptions and a bit of good luck. But it is great fun trying to get inside his head and see how many different ways it could be worked out.

The greatest barrier is that there is no way to determine what the intermediate solution is to look like. How can you tell if you have the crypto-quote correct before solving the crypto-quote. The next hurdle will be to solve a crypto-quote without all of the spaces in place. That may take an additional month or so.
