Kool! From george at metaart.org Wed Mar 19 01:48:28 2003 From: george at metaart.org (George Woolley) Date: Mon Aug 2 21:30:38 2004 Subject: [hbpm] Puzzle Message-ID: <200303182348.28042.george@metaart.org> Here's a puzzle of sorts. A line of Perl code fell off the dining room table and was shattered. The letters ended up all over the floor. Somehow in the confusion, all the space characters were destroyed. Noone knows how many there were originally. (And noone cares.) Some anal-obsessive nerd (me) has organized the letters as follows with the hope that someone will reconstruct the line. ''..;Haabegikmnopprrstwy Your mission, should you accept it, is to reconstruct the line for the anal obsessive nerd. Hints: 1) It is known that the original line was simple enough that everyone on this mailing list would be capable of reading it. Trust me on this. 2) That's 5 special characters including two single quotes and no double quotes. Request: Please send your solution(s) to george@metaart.org, thus giving someone else a chance to solve it.

Looks like a challenge. Could you please just clarify that the first bit is two single quotes and not one double quite, as my retarded windows email program renders them the same! '' != " Ta.
