In what cells could you identify the card in it ?

(In reply to Its time to declare a solution by Frank)

fsgregs, you must be new here. I´m here about a four or five months.

Once, I asked the same thing you did, and they explained to me that "no solution yet" means, only, that the "official" solution (the solution presented by who posted the problem) is not yet published.

It doesn´t mean that nobody found the answer. Read the FAQ, to better explanation (I´m brazilian).

Best regards to  you too !
