While I do not consider myself an "expert", I think I am pretty good at these types of puzzles....but, I always get stumped on the very hard ones.
Discounting the obvious, a case where you do not SEE something, I have a hole in logic that I need help with.
I read the account of Guest for Dec. 20, and do not see it.

If what I wrote below is correct, and there is nothing that is obvious like one number just hanging out there, then I need a "logic crutch"!
Can someone show me the light?
