    I would be much happier if you people never put another one of these puzzles on this forum. I waste more time trying to understand how to do something that has no reason for existing, other than to make me look stupid, than I can afford. I can take a set of blueprints and build almost anything you can think of for a carpenter to do. However when it comes to this computer stuff, I have trouble. Thanks for screwing up my day today and yesterday. Ans probably tomorrow.

      Aw, c'mon, Bruce -- you mean to tell me that carpenters don't ever have to move groups of frogs to opposite ends of a row of rocks??!? ...Oh wait -- you're right. Yeah, there really is no practical puporse for this one all at all... My bad. :lol:

          Fun game. 887 feet on my 4th try but that was luck more than anything else. I figure I will quit while I am ahead.

                Once I get it half done the rest is easy. Until that point, I always have trouble with it.
