Hello all, sorry about the last couple of days... my computer decided not to recognise my modem, and that was it... no ammount of ranting... raving... wailing or whining would wipe the smirk from my monitor...

Today my pc decided that it does have a modem after all, but tomorrow... ~Greebo shrugs her shoulders~... who knows... So if my appearances are infrequent please forgive me...

Well done Titania... you were right... ~grin~... here is the answer to the puzzle for all those who didn't get it... though to be honest... the answer isn't any easier to understand than the question was... ~grin~

(1) The one you did after the one you did before this one IS this one. In other words:
(2)"....the puzzle you solved after you solved the puzzle you solved before you solved this one" IS this one.
(3) Hence the question may be rephrased this way: "If the puzzle you solved before this one was harder than THIS ONE, was the puzzle you solved before this one harder than THIS ONE?"
(4) The answer to this question is obviously YES.

You can call me TC

Yes but I still maintain that you haven't solved this one yet at the point where you are reading the puzzle.
