you actually SEE the people...how many boys and girls? total people?

criminal and police are either first or last.

Yeah, go to the web site. It's like an interactive cartoon. It's all in Japaneese, so just click on the blue circle.

going to bed now, but thanks...i love a good puzzle.

did you get it (without telling me the answer)?

2 mins

want the answers?

Yes....it does work.

And NO, there is no trick. Just follow the directions.

I got it and just a hint everyone crosses the river ATLEAST twice.

I got it, but I hate anything that makes me use my brain. Aaargh.

Man - I'm not as smart as I thought I was! I figured it out, but it took me a little bit. That thing's wicked!

DECIDED I COULD not keep typing in all caps AND that i could not sleep with a puzzle that needed solving...solved it, and coincidentally, i work in japan...interesting...

whew . . .

glad you figured it out Burgess.

I gave up . . . I guess I wont be working in Japan any time soon . . .

It took me a while also jet. Once you get it, you'll feel like a big dummy. I was thinking there was something I was missing. Some sort of trick. But it can be done, by the rules.

I gave up

3 minutes 50 something seconds.

That was good.

then try it again....

I finally got it once, but I can't tell you how in the heck I did it. I can't do it again.
