Well my Nov 25th solution had better be right. If it's not, the white flag won't be far behind.

I really hope its not a skip cipher

Well it's been 3 years and I never finished off the 3D Sudoku... time to get that done, lol!

The Peralta stones were fake so why put them in a clue? Hmmm...

The answer to that is easier than you think.

....and the math is simple. So I've been told. Isn't it nice to be insulted by the author of a book for charity?

I don't think it was intended as a taunt.

It's probably even accurate philosophically. The answer is likely easy.

The thing it seems to ignore though is the fact that the clues are anything but easy or straightforward, which is sort of the important part when you're the one who doesn't have the answer written on a piece of paper in front off you.

Yes, Ron's clues have been locators for the most part. If you look on page 70 you will even find "you think."

Therefore if it's "easier than you think", then the logical conclusion is that the FB clue is telling us that doing anything on that page is the wrong thing to do. The solution is easier than starting in the middle of the chapter. Right?

I follow you logic and have made the correct adjustments. Thanks, Lobster. "May hot butter never be near you..."
