This is about the thread opened by a guy trying to find a way to rid his land of gophers, or some other rodent. I’m sure it’s somewhere in GD or something but I have no idea how to find it. Last I read of it was at least a year ago, and it was linked on the threadspotting page on the SD home page.

Any help? I’m curious if he ever solved this puzzle

Your problem was that you were searching for “gophers”. The post is about “groundhogs”.

It was by **Scylla** and IIRC, it was titled Evil Nazi Groundhogs.

Yes! Nazi groundhogs! Thanks you two!

Mod, go ahead and delete the thread when you can.

Thanks again, I’ve been in a living hell after following this thread but not knowing the outcome.

Well, before you close this thread, how DID it all turn out?  
When last we saw things, the score was Scylla 10,  
Groundhogs 0, but we never really saw how it all ended.  
Scylla, are you still around? Or, if the Groundhogs won,  
could one of them post how they did it?
