Yean, I probably should’ve made it a puzzler. My self-imposed deadline forced my hand.
Actually, I tried to withdraw my comment but couldn’t figure out how to do that within the time frame. It WAS a little obscure–I had to resort to a Web search to find the answer and it turned out to be something I wasn’t familiar with. But after writing that comment, I thought (too late, as it turned out) that I’m too new to your site to be making judgments on what is or is not obscure for you and your regulars. I’ll stick with it though–and might drop by your pub one of these times.
That question is definitely high on the difficulty scale, and I don’t try to produce too many questions that challenging. I’m also trying to ensure I get a question up every day (something I got lax on earlier this year), so in this case I ended up running with an idea I didn’t have time to simplify.
