The Game of Cards UPDATE

When posting puzzles, I change wording to avoid direct copy, and as all of you know, I usually attmept to personalize the puzzles using names of frequent visitors to ToM. I try to avoid error, but when re-wording and personalizing, it is quite easy to make a mistake. Sometimes, one or two words in a sentence can alter the logic of the entire scenario.

Those of you who attempted the puzzle "The Game of Cards" were dealing with an error. I checked the wording before posting, and twice after posting ... still I missed it. With Knightmare's and Cam's persistence in suggesting maybe an error was made, I checked once again .... this time it slapped me in the face. An ammendent has been added to hopefully make the problem solve-able. Here's a link to the puzzle: The Game of Cards

Sometimes, the author of the puzzle makes a mistake ... but this time, it was the poster ... ME. I apologize for the frustration. The problems and puzzles are difficult enough without an error in the statement.

Praise to Zaux

Your greatness shows in your ability to admit a mistake.

Everyone makes errors, those who won't admit them have THAT as major problem.
