You even claim in your post that you were reading the book and came up with the puzzle, which is clearly not the case.

I told the other day I have a company with 552 workers!!! I hope that would be the case so I should not have to read what you write, honestly!!! I would not even be in Steemit!!! I try to take it with contructivism but it is not easy when you are trying to take down the complete thing for one post (Not that you can but looks like you are trying)

@mkt was actually putting forth effort to solve the puzzle and earn the payout.

Do you think I do not feel about it? Of course I do, but... Life is not fair the majority part of the time to tell you the true.

You should be more clear and concise about what you're looking for as an answer rather than needing to post comments on your own post to continually clarify your question.

First english is not my mother language, spanish is and I live in Germany so I also have to speak german... I have to deal with 3 language everyday of my life since long time, one day I made a mistake writing a post in Steemit... OMG! What I have done? ... nothing, just a mistake that I accepted and worked out with the people who wanted to do the puzzle at that moment.

Please do not worry about it.... I took the decision to not make the contest anymore, I have more important things to do at the moment. I have a work that I love you can see in my posts, lucky me, and doing contests on Steemit was just for fun (spending my money also on it... for fun!?)... and if it is not fun anymore then I do not do it anymore, simple as that...
