Specifically, I think there should be <B>two</B> pennies stacked on the second cell, since there was one there already and then a second one would be added from the fusion. Right? (Or else I misunderstand the rules, or perhaps I am just taking the stacking count a little too seriously.)<BR/><BR/>(By the way, is there a pithy term like "typo" for a minor error in a graphic? "grapho" doesn't ring true ... .)Fritz Ruehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287120856377258774noreply@blogger.com
