< mkay so we have these numbers here 693518274 and 138672495..i decided to pair them up 6,1|9,3 etc. and i would open up paint and draw a line from one point from the buttom to the top...after that see what letters are not crossed out and used them for an answer..ill try tweaking it and see if i can get anything...[/color]>

this surely has something to do with letters on the intersection of the lines.. or also, the letters that the lines intersect.. but the problem is which of the intersected letters to choose? there's so many.. got to try another way

lol, during the couse of riddle I've learned to stay away from anagram solver's...
 
  • #2,549
