"The answer is the question" so it looks like a game of figuring out what the question is. Blech.

Yeah i have tried multiple things, and still haven't gotten close at least i don't think i have... Someone left me the clue that the answer is in first person, but I can't think of anything i have tried that could be first person that I haven't already tried... :confused:

Damn, still not getting 48! Well at this point the answer can't make me feel any dumber. I'd say I've tried everything, but obviously I haven't since I still don't have it :P I've got a different tact I'm going to try.
 
  • #1,249

  • #1,253
lol, does Iggy's answer answer your question? *giggles*

I do have to ask.. if at all possible.. is the answer a statement or a question?




Also, I need to step out for a bit.. Iggy, don't shoot the screen. If you do, then we'll never get this finished ^^
