So tonight we will get our first member submitted theorem. This will be interesting!

 		Fun little puzzle.

I didn't know the hints are locked for the first ten minutes of the puzzle's posting. That's nice.

 		I feel so stupid, that took me longer than it should have. I guessed the answer, then saw how simple it was to get....

 		I admit I got it after only three letters. But it was still very clever.

Pretty big spoiler.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It bears mentioning that the "coordinates" run both ways.

 		*sigh*
Felt like an idiot once I figured it out for not getting it sooner, but it is quite clever. I think this one measures up to what we've seen from M.

 		I liked that it was fully "self-contained" and didn't really rely at all on the flavortext that isn't part of the primary image.
Not that I don't like M's little shorts... It's just that the longer they are, the more I wonder which parts may or may not be part of the actual puzzle. It's fine if the story builds up the puzzle, but it shouldn't be a necessary element toward the solve.

The symmetry was a nice touch. I didn't notice it till I was walking through it with my son and realized that I had my X/Y axes switched.

I did it completely backwards, and was honestly surprised when I looked at the "solved" screen.

The little short is what threw me off.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I was looking for words in the image and found a handful but had no idea what to do with them "buy," "risk", "free" had me wondering if this was secretly an advertisement for risk!
