Kevin Kruger of Grantville, PA correctly identified the amateur mistake in 6 minutes. David Bilenkey of Ottawa, Canada got it in 13 minutes. Scott Peterson of Bend, OR got it in 16 minutes. e-RICHIE got the answer in 16 minutes too. David Patrick of Chelsea, Michigan had a near miss. John Pergolizzi of Brooklyn, NY got it in 32 minutes.
