this is a guest puzzle, which is all the rage these days! ada nicolle sent me this because she thought i would like it, and i do! she says it was already solved on the arctanxwords stream, which hasn't solved any of my puzzles yet, but megaphonicfm and scootsbaboo have, and that's been fun to watch!
