The problem is easier to solve if you consider the clues in reverse order. Keep that in mind on the exam and read the whole question before formulating an answer.

That also applies to reading a Rectangular State legal description. You will find the described parcel quicker by reading the description backwards, as well as the old trick of multiplying the denominators of a fractional description and dividing the result into 640 to find acreage. ?????ÿ

Many years ago I had a subscription to Games Magazine.?ÿ Each issue was loaded with a very wide variety of challenges.?ÿ I soon learned to jump around on clues, rather than following them in order.?ÿ Part of the fun is knowing the creator of the challenge is going to complicate things intentionally.

The first clue says you can't have both a 6 and a 2 in the answer.
