          To quote Homer (the cartoon one): "You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try."
          … except that this was a fun puzzle! Keep at it!

                Fantastic puzzle. I'm expecting one of those in about three months. With six (!) themers and all the additional material, this was amazing.
