Well, I think I've had SOME "ah-ha" moments with this, but this one is a nastier beast than the blue...

Wow, yep, my aha moment was right :) The middle is tricky though...

...nice going dbMonkey - at this rate you're going to have to get yourself a BR, if only to find out what all the fuss what about after you knocked off all your Obsessions in such short order!

Well done!

LOL, yeah, I'm kinda trying to convince my wife to let me get an extreme. And if I succeed, I then have to decide whether to go for Bronze, Silver, or drive myself completely mad with the gold ;)

May I suggest (as I was in the same boat) that you get the Bronze first. You'll make good progress and open it in a relatively short time ... showing progress to the spouse is the key ... otherwise she claim it a unwise expense and you'll never hear the end of it :)

A relatively short time?! Relative to what? Evolution?! :?

Well Darwin would have worked the BlueEX then the GreenEx before "evolving" to the Bronze...

But as you are bucking the natural evolutionary process by jumping into the "pool", "relatively" short needs to be viewed in Einstein terms where time is only an illusion...you be hooped my friend.

Actually, I think that I might be having the opposite problem with my wife. Her comment when I got the obsessions was that she'd be a bit annoyed if I solve the puzzles too quickly. I think she'd prefer something that WILL keep me stumped for awhile.

hmmm...okay - I'm not going to go there :)

Better get BR/AG/AU then ... and work them all at the same time ... she won't see you for the rest of the year ;)
