Thanks Danielle. You folks are still the best. Winning is fun but finding the answer is better. You ask very good questions.

Where's the graemlin for apple polishing?

[Hoot]

Hmmm... It seems like the question was which motif, and not which motif plus pattern. I think TDN deserves some recognition here as well.

 

Congrats to the winners.
