coderz -

There have been issues with some of the other riddles/games we have done, where people have gotten upset. So, rather than just put in the final answer, we will give hints. Plus, you can always PM anyone for additional hints or nudges in the right direction.

Thanks! Regardless of whether or not I can play for a prize, fun stuff!
