[QUOTE="Richards, post: 1386521, member: 508"] Crap! You're absolutely right, Piratecat. It looks like in scenario #3, they've reversed the numbers corresponding to "O" and "N" so the puzzle [I]is[/I] now unsolvable! They should look like this: I +5 U -1 Z +4 T -1 H +8 R -3 O -6 N -9 E +13 I can easily see how they goofed up, though. Notice how in the scenario diagram all of the letters and numbers are facing the same way? Well, in the scenario map I sent with the manuscript, I had each letter and number situated with the "bottom" pointing at the center of the web, so the orientation switched around along the 360 degree circle of the web. Unfortunately, "O" and "N" were toward the bottom of the web, so it would be easy to see an upside-down "-6" and read it not as "9-" but as "-9," and likewise with "upside-down -9" being "6-" and being interpreted as "-6." Crap crap crappity crap crap. Oh well, not much I can do about it at this point but send an email to Dungeon and hope they'll print an update correcting their mistake. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
