I'd say it was a valid guess. But I can see why you'd be a little worried with the amount of energy people put into these puzzles. :P

Speaking of being away, has anyone seen DrGreg recently?
I've been keeping track of everyones scores for quit some time and noticed that DrGreg had a better win/lose/tie score than I did, and was curious if he used any game tools like I do.
If not, that kind of implied in my head that this game is so random, that just simply having a good brain is worth all the computer power in the world.
