I love it when everything adds up! The message even cites the specific
change. It's like a cryptic crossword - once you get the answer, you
KNOW it's the answer because suddenly it all makes sense :)

Thanks for bringing a fun problem to solve! It's (unfortunately) a
refreshing change to read a post from someone who knows how to ask
smart questions.
