    Hello Mark,

    I and my colleagues are big fans of Playmeo; thank you and your team for engaging, challenging and fun activities.

    I would love to have an image of the solution you allude to. Happy to “not get it” with the group (12-15yo) as they are attempting to figure it out, but would love to follow up with them later with your version of the “answer”.

    If theirs is different, but viable, I’ll share a photo with you, thanks!
