About the game

Greetings, All.

I have received a flood of e-mail regarding the game in progress and the majority of you are experiencing a great deal of frustration at not being able to solve the clues. I have already personally e-mailed some of you but let me say this to all of you: frustration arises from feeling inept and that happens when you work too hard at making more of what is there. Lighten up and take each clue at face value, for they are not meant to stump you or lead you astray. Choose the key word or words from each clue (just as you would any ordinary test question) then put those to work. It is not difficult so do not try to make it so.

I have received some very interesting spins and angles being worked at which tells me there are some very intelligent people playing this game. Some of those spins and angles are intriguing, such that I am learning things from each of you and that is a most refreshing and welcomed side-benefit of the game. Once the game has ended I would like to publish some of those spins and angles (only with permission from those players) because there is so much to be learned from the minds of others.

A week from today, if no one has gotten closer to the answer, I will publish a clear, direct lead to send you in the right direction; one that will give everyone the opportunity to get on track. In the meantime, take a breath and rest your minds then try again. New clue: #9- Addition and reduction are things to do, so try it and see where those paths lead you. Dream Teller
