Thank you Mirko, for your play-by-play commentary on how you arrived at the solution. Very ? logical (Spock would be proud).

Mirko Graul guessed the correct answer at 7:25 am HST
Mendy Ouzillou arrived at the same conclusion at 7:43 am HST
Brandon Dunovant derived his solution at 7:45 am HST

Sorry, no prizes for placing, but Mendy and Brandon definitely get the tip of my hat on a job well done, and deserve their bragging rights.

Mahalo again for all who participated and until next time, Rock On!
