William,
 
 
Good move. I can't help you with the lexicon right now, but it's fairly common to see a puzzle for which there are two or more techniques that lead to a solution. |

Thanks, means a lot coming from one of the pillars. I've been in on some of the other multiple solution discussions. It's funny how that works. I couldn't see Earl's solution because the way I solve doesn't [yet] include a feel for the 3-prong relationship. |
