The most annoying thing in the world: understanding a puzzle, working the solve, walking through all the steps, getting an answer, and still not actually being able to get the exact fFormatting.

Even more annoying than that: when you ask fFor a fFlat out answer and people say things like "It's already been said, somewhere in the preceding 5 pages of miscellaneous bad guesses." Really, how is that helpful?

I would take pity if the thread was thirty pages long. 6 pages? Got 10 minutes? I think leaving folks to use a little brainpower, if only to follow the train of thought of the solvers through a couple of pages of posts, isn't too much to expect. Even if this leaves you with a couple of options, you may have to use more than one guess. Goodness, that's not too much.

For those who don't want a direct answer, don't make the same mistake i made:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The Victory and the Duguay-Trouin (renamed the Implacable after its capture by the British) were considered at the time by some to be "Sister" ships as they were the last two remaining survivors of the Battle of Trafalgar. That threw me down the wrong path for a while!

Oh well, next card Smile
