I have assume that its more exact size is 12.57, not as the 3rd superfluous word - is that correct?

Planks, I do not have all the pairs of letters and Z replacing R is causing me serious problems.

12.57 would work I think. Don't need that level of precision in my opinion.

Gitto, Z replacing R is correct. The two strings do not read straight down each line. You mix the original letters and the replacements to give title of the play. Don't be put off by the apparent lack of English words.

I don't have all the letter pairs.
Having the three quotations, I googled the three next words -together.
I have seen the play twice and the quote means nothing to me, hence me feeling flat, it was just an exercise, a Google exercise.

I wonder if there is a final trap at the last step. If you have the play and the labels then you know that what's impossible is "A and B without C". From a mathematical standpoint this a very different statement than "A OR B without C".

Or am I overthinking things.

No buddy, I think you are right.
He specifically says it is infeasible 'to give two of the named things, without the other' - so if I was submitting, I'd act on that.

I think that’s exactly right, Buddy. It’s not a large area, and requires an accurate reading of the quotation

Gitto, the number is as in the extra word. Imagine a right-angled triangle, two cells by three, and look at the length of the hypotenuse. If you don’t use that you will be going through additional cells. PS the line passes through two opposite corners in 4 of the 20 cells

Hmm, that’s not what I was planning on submitting. The quote says that you need one of the words and everything else is infeasible from my reading so it is quite a large area
