Ok, I give up, what's the answer for 14? :) - Chris On Jul 12, 2006, at 4:10 PM, Mark E.

OK, I got it, y'all are close, but it's a different phrase, not very well known (to me) Hrm. In my attempts to get to 14, I find myself at a page containing only: 196 I can't seem to figure out how that represents 14, so I think I may have accidentally skipped ahead. apply your mental powers.
