#5 on the board. Saw the answer before I understood the mechanism, and wanted to be sure... which moved me a few spots down the leaderboard. Alas.

I have an answer, but something is bothering me about it. Hmm.
Edit- got past my first issue and now have a new dilemma.
Edit #2 - I see two reasonable answers, but am going with the one I think is what Matt is looking for.

That was lots of fun! Like Aaron, now it's back to the WSJ puzzle.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

A youngster!
