First of all, sorry for my comments just a couple of moments ago. They're inappropriate, considering that you showed the kindness to play along.
I made the foolish mistake of not refreshing this page, looking at the stats to see only one up-vote (my own) and no comments after being up for an hour. I then made the comments that you see and, only then, refreshed the page. Another "doh! moment" in the life of @jamesbrown...oh well, that's life.
As to your question, votes are 100% by default, so you're good there.
Also, everything looks good in your solution. at a glace.
I don't know where the payout will be on this post, I assume not a whole lot based on what this post has gathered so far. So, what I'll do is send whatever Steem Dollars I get from this post plus the SD that are already in my wallet to your account.
Thanks for playing, @spark, and sorry again for my ignorant rudeness.
Hey, no worries! It's a clever puzzle! At first glance I thought there was no solution. Then started counting back from 100, working it out step-by-step, and the solution showed up. How did you create this? Is it adapted from another puzzle or 100% your own? I'd like to use it in a quest with the children at my LARP summer camp - cool with you? Credited to James Brown. And I was delighted to see a puzzle on the feed!
Nah, it's not really my own. It's a variation of a game that I saw on a television show - Survivor.
The Survivor competition involved two teams, taking between one and three flags out of 21 flags, to start - working out to the same solution. The major difference being that they played for a million dollar grand-prize and we're playing here for peanuts and giggles.
Oh well, lol.
Hey, thanks for the compliment and, by all means, have fun sharing it with the children. I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
cool, nice adaptation! Thanks for posting.
Thanks again, and you bet :)
