Now see, I really enjoyed this one! Didn't have any trouble with it at all. I just wish I would have looked at it right away instead of today - it's one of the few I could actually have gotten in short order!

Unlike that &%@# Antisocial Media seal I *still* haven't been able to get! I don't know the elegant way, don't know JS and have an antique laptop.

But this one, I totally loved. Go figure?!

I do think it would be interesting to have a rate it box accompanying each theorem and seal. Maybe a rating for difficulty and enjoyment. Would be fun to see how others feel about each and would maybe be useful for creators and potential puzzle creators.

Thank you, Baffled King and Emato; I was starting get rankled by all the negativity in the prior posts. This one took me about 90 minutes, and during that time, I admit I wasn't very impressed. Then I had the ah-HA moment, solved it and went to bed. The next day, the more I thought about it, the more I liked this puzzle. All the clues are there, requiring a bare minimum of internet searching (in fact, as mentioned previously, Google's spelling corrector did most of that work for me), and a couple of decent red herrings to make the challenge fun (for me at least).

Contrary to the complaints of several above, it's not a random guessing game, you need be fluent only in common English, and all the hints you need are right there. Especially, the clue that give it away for me:

I liked it, too, even if it was a long jump to get to the phrase. Couldn't have got it without help on this forum. Gotta admit the author is kinda cute.
