return of the charts


I am sure BDK remembers these cryptic number charts from my past blogs. I wish Ct-art had a bookmark feature


They represent ct-art problems that I want to see again due to

1) got them wrong

2) was slow to solve them or was tempted initially to give a wrong answer

3) think they illustrate an important principle

4) just think they are cool

Of course, all numbers are open to interpetation, so feel free to hunt down the vintage 1960 PF flyer secret decoder ring and dolphin whistle shown above.

    Huzzahh!

    What level was it you were on when you took a break last time? Was it 20 or 30?

    I believe I did at least 14 circles of 20 then gave it a rest. I also did one entire pass of the entire Ct-art problems a number of months ago. I do believe minicircles by level is the better approach however I wanted to prove to myself that I could complete one loop of the set. I will do a few more levels of 20's till I get to around 98% then I will move on to level 30.
