Our team of crackpots and nitwits worked months several long minutes putting it together... Funny story... Half the team suggested that we help the user along by providing a "Hint Button," while the same half of the team disagreed with themselves. So in an effort to settle this internal dispute, it was decided that the biggest and strongest member of the team would leg wrestle a retired 85 year old lunch lady. Well, without a doubt, the lunch lady (Gilda) won and the "Hint Button" was left off the quiz and abandoned at a 131 highway rest stop. To be honest, the button itself looked questionably shady.
