Both Circle and Turk have the two possibly right answers.

Something tells me there's actually a few of these, and that this isn't the one you're looking for.

hehe! I cheated, and found the website with the question on!- and the answer; but of course, my conscience would'nt have allowed me to cheat. You did very well to get it unedited. I just became so frustrated, I had to get the answer.

It's a puzzle of misdirection... gry has nothing to do with the actual answer.

So, gry me a river.

I'll give someone a possible clue - although this is only a guess - I think it is based on the base of the nummber system; but I am too tired to work it out!

I do that too sometimes. I get frustrated and just want to know the answer. I'm always good and don't try to cheat or anything, so I guess it's okay.

Still don't get it, but I probably will over breakfast. Oh well, at least I learned a new word.

Having breakfast.

Totalling get the gry thing.

I guess breakfast is important, even if it's just OJ and a snickers bar.
