Hmmm.....
I don't see how it was solvable if one can't see why it is fitting. I'm wondering if there actually *is* a mechanism. I was amused that there didn't seem to be one but it was solvable anyway. But then I had odd counting issues....
I think I found all the deliberate easter eggs that lead unquestionably to the meta, but perhaps I missed the mechanism entirely.
Anyone want to discuss (via PM)?
