#4: Friends, don't doubt your mod-downs, for they will be restored once someone reveals the rule correctly.

The invisible rule is that the number of the guess must be spelt out in the word formed by taking the 1st letter of the 1st word, 2nd letter of the 2nd word, 3rd letter of the 3rd word, etc.

Curses. I was going down the red herring of "this post must contain one set of doubled consecutive letters" e.g. butter, correct, greeting.

I thought about the double letter thing, but Tahnan mentioned "Matt's" without getting a point.

I've not got enough mod points to run another round at the moment.

Does anyone else want to?

I managed to get a number before Erik left, so I might as well go again. Here's to a slightly more difficult rule!

#1: Maybe it's not so hard, but I can't tell you for sure, as those people out there are a clever bunch and won't take no for an answer.
#2: I'm all for it, but I'm me and not you.
#3: DROD isn't one of them video games with guns (no ray guns for you!).

Ah, but it isn't what must be done to find this rule, if you want to do so.

#2: In general, random guesses won't work to solve the rule, but getting an idea of what it may be, random guessing helps.

#3: Of course, it could just be that carefully studying the posts that follow the rule is enough, unless there are some red herrngs in there.
