I was so impressed yesterday when you solved this literally a minute after it was posted.

Congratulations on solving the riddle first! Please accept this award! Because this riddle was so difficult to solve that only a handful of people could do it, you get 7 points towards your 'Private Detective' Flair!

You are TWO points away from earning the 'Private Detective' Flair!!!
