okay, let's asssume the answer isn't online. why did it take you 4 months to figure it out and post the answer here?
I had solved this problem a long time ago but had forgotten the solution. I posed the challenge confident that Erstling wouldn't be able to solve it, and even though I knew people would demand the answer from me, I didn't care. I got called on it repeatedly by MensaBob and since he wouldn't let it go, I decided to own him and finally sat down to solve it. MensaBob has been very quiet since the day I posted this. The reason why it took so long is that I hoped people would forget about it. All I really wanted was to show the whole board what an imbecile Ross Erstling is, not to show everyone how smart I am. The problem is pretty hard and it pushed me. According to statistics, only 1 in 20,000 people has the brain power to solve this(IQ 162+)
