Finally!!  I was seething with frustration on this one, cheering Laura
on, and had sent my version of "What the hell is wrong with my solution?"
to the original poster.  Then, along came Bruce (israel) with his

came crystal clear.

Thank you, Bruce.

I *LOVE* teaching via analogy and, in case you are wondering, this letter
is totally above-board and is *NOT* one of my usual sarcastic submissions,
