Why is it we give up on our original ideas so fast. This is the second time my first thought was the correct one, and yet I went on to another before I fully explored it.

On 11 now. My PM box is empty now.

[Fomitopsis]

I got it! But it's so irritating. I had this idea one hour ago, but

I had the wrong shift

of numbers/letters

[Spacechild399]

I know it sounds stupid, but I'm stuck on 9!! I'm normally good at logic puzzles, but GRRRRR!!!

[jack]

Pay very very close attention to detail.

On 14 now.

[npfan]

Any hints for 12?

EDIT: stuck on 14

[Donna]

Jack, I'm so emabarrassed, but I'm still struggling wih 9. I PMed you some numbers. Can you take look? Am I looking for a 6 letter word?

[jack]

Its not a word I've ever heard of. I didn't get your PM.

Oops I was thinking of 8. NVM

[npfan]

The answer is a number, but don't be fooled!

[Donna]

Weird Jack as it was in my sent box. I've PMed you again wih what I have.

[Fomitopsis]

[jack]

Follow Npfans advice, trust your instincts.
