scallio Aug 06, 2006	Bummer... didn't get it. I am good at geography so felt I should have been able to get this.
SPUTNIK2 Aug 06, 2006	I got it only because I'm a WWII nut, good teaser
Phalanx Oct 26, 2006	Studying history was very helpful indeed! ;)
soonitwillend Dec 01, 2006	Hm. I got "a", but only because I figured out something with the letter "a" in each word. I'm not quite sure. Here's how I saw it;; The pattern went "A" once, "a" once, "a" twice, "a" once, "a" once. And in set "a", [ besides it being "a", ] I got it because it was a shortened version of it;; "a" once, "a" twice, "a" once. [ The "a" once or twice refers to how many times the letter show up in each word, by the way. ]
soonitwillend Dec 01, 2006	Ohsnap :] I got that confused. But basically, the code was "a" a certain amount of times to form a pattern, then set "a" was a shortened version of it.
soonitwillend Dec 01, 2006	Argh. Just forget what I said completely;; I re-read it again and realised that teh already highly confusing thing I wrote was incorrect, no matter what.
