re(2): solution - re Charlie | Comment 12 of 26 |
(In reply to re: solution by Josie Faulkner)

Josie,
Sometimes solvers present to us something in a way that we do not expect, sometimes better, sometimes more elegant.

Present your solution, but add to it a reference to Charlie.

It will do a few things:
1. Make you feel good in the acknowledgement
2. Save 'minuscule' space on the server by not repeating Charlie's dialogue, which resides on Perplexus anyway
3. Make Charlie feel good
4. Yeah, any thing else that I/you may have overlooked.

Choose the solution that you want to be published.
