You have to do these for awhile to

get into a different mindset (our house it's Thanksgiving). This is coupled with the NSA more than NASA. Can be associated with girls, stair, perfume, year.

Not the answer to Steve's baffling puzzle but thanks for posting the question. I'm out today and did not have time to post a question. I'll dream one up for next week!

I know the answer, but you still lost me :-)

I assume that you also know the answer, but I can't figure it out.

Sorry, -- to keep it alive

I meant it had to do more with a cryptology

(NSA) cipher switch...and less with math progressions (NASA). The rest referred to the song "It was a very good year"...city girls who lived up the stair, with perfumed hair, and it came undone..."

Right about the first part, still not sure about

the song?

I took a class in school about cryptography and coding schemes, and I didn't do very well. Then again, almost no one did very well, so I didn't feel so dumb.

In short, I am looking for a number. Only one number.

I saw all of the other numbers, and I wasn't sure which one you meant.

Thanks for playing and making my question even harder than it already was. Lateral thinking isn't one of my strong suits...
