I did it.

The rules are pretty easy. It's just trial & error.

There's no trick....I'm not going to spoil it for the billions of other A2Kers who are going to partake in this good time.

I'll ruin everyone's Friday night.

You can do it Bella.

And I meant that in the Italian way.

Well now that took out a little chunk of the day!

I'm not sure if I could explain how I finally did it - I lost track of all of the steps.

I got some of them over, but I got stuck with one kid, the cop, and the criminal on one side and the rest on the other side. I have no idea how I got that far.

HEY!! I did it! And boomer hasn't had a chance to PM me yet, because it would take forever to write all that down.

Sheesh, thanks Slappy. That's my kind of puzzle.

YES!! I am sorry....I admit to being lazy. I spent all of 4 minutes trying. I hang my head in shame. I have a head ache. I am fuzzy today. Just humor me. Embarrassed

It was pretty frustrating at first.

According to the stupid fowarded message I got with the email, I'm as smart as a Japanese person!!!!
