How logical,so embarassed
Great Teaser

ok way over my head! i so didnt get it... ---->
I LOVED IT!!! Great one, keep these coming, my mind went for a second but the answer was great
I thought it difficult if only because the solution is probably not a very commonly used term in most circles. I was trying to figure out how it could mean "power struggle". Not a bad one, though!
