Thanks for the clues Joe. I have to think the 38 seconds was an anomaly unless she found a wormhole which allowed her to alter the time/space continuum. The best I can do was just under a minute and that was with my steroid pumped mouse. ;-)

joekayak, thanks for taking the time to write out your compassionate missive!

Never mind! Finally got it! I definitely feel like I've been through the wringer on this one! For some reason, I had it in my head that the 5 was first. That's why I kept being short at the end of the first round. Thanks for all of the help!

Well, if anyone's still around . . . Are you playing the Q instead of the Q at the very beginning? Since I was able to get 136, I figured I at least had the basics of round one down, but I only come up with 55 moves. Can't find anything to play the 9 on . . .

Holy flying fingers Batman!! Did you see that?? 38 seconds!!!???

OOPS!! Went and looked at profile. No info. Had a 50% chance.

Thanks Joykayak!!! Just came back and found your clues.. Perfect ! btw.. 57 Feral Cats is a lady cat

Fizz...It just started snowing about an hour ago after raining all day...roads kinda slick but nothing big as of yet...but the children have their toes, fingers, eyes and anything else they can think of crossed....lol....

joekayak, I posted my comment as you were posting yours so I haven't even had a chance to delve into it yet. Sorry. Gotta get some dinner! Thanks for all of the info!

Fizz...We live less than 1 mile from the lake so it hits all around us...it sorta works like everyone will have a snow day but Mentor or Mentor will have a snow day but everyone else has nothing..its kinda weird...it works the same way with thunder storms too....wind storms...tornadoes too...I think the last time there was a tornado in Mentor was some where around 1969...I remember we were at the beach and everyone started running down the street..we made it to the house and it hit the house across the street and blew their garage down...I'll never forget it....
