OK, I give up, what is that chart?

[Orb]

Any former/current woos out there who can explain what that chart was supposed to mean? The one that was supposed to win them the prize money? I do not get it at all.

[Blue Monk]

It's a sanity test.

If you understand seek help immediately.

It might help our analysis if we knew what chart you were referring to.

It might help our analysis if we knew what chart you were referring to.Look in the current Swift commentary.

Would I get banned if I hotlink from the JREF commentary page? :)

Oh, looking at it again, I get it. It's like Sudoku for skeptics.

[ChristineR]

It's a magic square. Obviously, because all the names are magicians. (The same magician.) If you were capable of understanding the advanced math, you would be able to fill in the last five squares with something really important.

I have the feeling that Hal Bidlack figures in there somewhere...

My estimate is that the creator of that diagram was one of the following:

* Fooling.
* Drunk.
* Schizophrenic.

But I'm just a musician, and that's not my area of expertise. It could also be part of a musical score in a suitably cryptic notation.
