  4. I am constantly amazed by the ability and intelligence of the people here. I had a feeling I’d be giving out clues on Tuesday still trying to find someone to figure out this puzzle, but Jessica nailed it!

    I’ll be dropping you an email to get your T-shirt request and your snail mail address. Congratulations!

    Have a great weekend, everyone.
