 		Via various transcription errors and just plain puzzle errors, I finally came out with the following:

Quote:
twentysixtimes
thirtysevenisa
seventeentimes
seventyfourisb
twotimesaminus
threetimesbisc
threeplusseven
timesaminustwo
timesbplusfour
timescisanswer

26 x 37 = a (a = 962)
17 x 74 = b (b = 1258)
2 x a - 3 x b = c (2a = 1924, 3b = 3774, 2a - 3b = -1850)
3 + 7 x a - 2 x b + 4 x c = answer (7a = 6734, 2b = 2516, 4c = -7400, 3 + 7a - 2b + 4c = -3179???)

Reached Acolyte status now!

 		Which is correct. Should bump you to Acolyte (as if we care).

 		Devoting myself more as an Acolyte to Bacchus cuz I was TGIF-ing during the solve. Looking at the above "crib version" is my humble reason for posting....

THANKS bigtime to all who accomplished this work for the Umbrati. Cool

 		A little follow up
Just a little follow up on yesterday... Lex said he was just cruising the sites because he was bored and found this. We have no idea how long the trial that started it off has been up, so this may or may not be directly related to the game as it is playing now. It is a C.O. generated trial, however, so maybe. I know it's been at least a month since I've looked at this page. Can anyone narrow this down a little?

Also, Belle, I think, asked me whether or not we have any confirmation that C.O.= Joshua. I said I didn't think so, but was doing that totally on instinct. Comments?

 		I've been assuming that Joshua and CO were one and the same, but that's just me. If they aren't, then I wish CO the best of luck with the GMS guys after him, and if they are the same, then Joshua's got them turned right around.

Was there supposed to be a link in there somewhere? I'm not sure what you're talking about.
