gastro,<br><br>as I've said while editing my previous post, I thought this was an answer and not a question since it was right after 5 consecutive manual solution checking posts you had made. now that I understand the intention, I realize I've been rude and I am sorry about it. however, as dalfor said, there are better ways to tell me I've been rude than to attack me while you're actually mad ecause I did the same to you. I DO know what it's like to be a n00b and I've asked for my own fair share of hints on different challenges. If you search for my interventions in other forums, you'll see I have myself corrected people for being condescending in front of someone having trouble with what they consider a simple challenge. However while we indeed are not beside you seeing what you actually try, it's kind abusive to ask for help on so many challenges in such a short period of time. most of the challenges on this site takes a lot of time and thinking and, as an advice, I tell you you should focus on some of them and then move rather than trying them all at once.<br><br>Now you will see that aside from this one, the replies I've posted on your solutions have been nice and kind, so I hope we can settle this argument by agreeing that it was all a big misunderstanding because I thought your question was an answer without an actual answer. Now I'll be happy to help you if you ever need it and if it is asked (as you actually did in this case) with proof that you've tried something. to answer your question, I think you're trying to think too hard on this one, it's really simpler than what you think, but to give an actual answer, both letters could, or could not, have same values. answering directly would be giving too much away and spoiling the challenge.<br><br>as for the RHC, you've posted your questions in their forums and therefore shouldn't mention them here, but rather wait for someone to answer on the other trends.<br><br>If you have any other personal issues with a member in the future, please try to settle it in private first, even if you were attacked in private. public lynchings like this have happened in the past and have always been condemned by the bs.net society, even when happening between high ranking, ancient members.<br><br>-Baubbi-
