(1) Alternate lines and 3's will get you within two steps
(2) Watch out for the special case! (3) /0
Is no-one gonna try this?

I can't believe how many attempt it has taken me to earn 3 points!
Could see answer straight away but spelling and trying to be too specific has meant I locked the card once and almost made the same mistake this evening.
I can confirm that fab_uk got it right but my spelling of

was wrong.

Only the wrong spelling is accepted (i.e. the one with an 'o'). Time for a quick e-mail to PPC...

I hate when that happens! We waste a lot of time on some of them, trying to read MC's mind when the *correct* answer isn't accepted! I would have thought they would have hired a better proofreader, after all the mistakes in the last wave!

If you look above Akio's siggy, theres a small hidden { . Theres one below the sigy too. Any significance, or space for R.C. James to be put as a guest architect originally.

Someoe said earlier this was a photo.
Is it not detail from the bottom center of 'The Hallucinogenic Toreador' by Salvador Dali?
