    >        So, does anybody know the answer to .0/.1?
    
    Yes. My previous reply (which I couldn't understand when I re-read it
    after 3 years!) was supposed to indicate that I had got the answer,
    without actually revealing it. But there was no reply from Mr.
    Gillespie.

    	Well, could you indicate that you got the answer AND reveal it at
    	the same time?

    OK. (Although I did as much in .10 :-)
    
    1. I got the answer.
    2. You take the middle letter of each word.

    As an aside, I lost track of the note number of this problem a few days
    ago. When I used the LKG AltaVista engine to find it using the search
    term "summery" I also found a large number of notes with an
    "interesting" spelling of "summary".
