Yes, we have the same problem. Two failed searches in a row, due to small and

I don't think that they have a hard time remembering it; I suspect they never
encoded it in the first place. I'm not sure why they would, unless they were an
advanced student, and could place it in the context of their general knowledge
about psychology. For example, I spend about 15 minutes on
ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served
as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.
Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated
the way the electricity traveled through Messenger's body.
