				Danny, I looked at this puzzle but only found several seemingly useless steps, but will look at it again later. I appeared to be chasing a real BBDBer.........

Ted,
 
 
I just checked my solver's solution. It used three steps plus numerous basics. More important, the steps are tightly dependent and not your garden-variety steps. I'd recommend skipping this puzzle unless you have lots of time on your hands.
 
 
Regards, Danny |
