It’s just me and story online right now.

Psst, story, I will trade you my bit of story for all the bits of story you have.

Seriously though folks, I am willing to do one to one trades of story bits with anyone who is online at the same time I am. I am not interested in sorting through the lists you post and figuring things out from there. Join me in my quest to narrow the pool. I figure if 5 of us band together we can make the possibilities small enough that we can force guess the rest.

I don’t expect to get much more with negotiating, but at least that NAF is an honorable man of his word…or is he…😃

That one makes more sense. Though I think mine can’t possibly be right where you have it. I would guess:

All are wrong, however \*\*Cookie’\*\*s post 65 has the most people in the right places and \*\*Paul’s \*\*post 62 is the MOST correct so far (in terms of people being around ALL their right places).

Nope, but you’re still a little over halfway kinda close.  
Really, impressive that you can do it so well without anyone much else revealing what parts they have (yet) or making hints as to what part they have…or having guessed and put themselves in a list where they think they are themselves yet.

But then again, I knew it wouldn’t be extremely hard. Over time it’ll get easier and easier. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone got the correct order tomorrow…but just remember…

**it takes working together a bit.**

So I hope those silent so far will come in at a point and give a little. 😉

The other guess is off.

This one is more correct and probably tied for one being the “most right” so far if not THE most right so far.

Idle, closer or further away than my last guess?

Paul, PM on its way.

Please take “most right so far” very liberally. MOST RIGHT SO FAR could still mean it’s pretty wrong. 😛

It’s hard to say.

Some things are right in this one that you had wrong in the other…but other things are wayyyyy off (that weren’t in the other). : p
