You're right Jeffrey - my assumption was that Carol and Alex would be the most familiar with the code and how it's laid out given their history with it, however, as you rightly point out, there are probably other veterans on our team who have gained a comparable level of intimacy with the code - it was not my intention to exclude anyone. Whoever feels up the challenge - your fruits will be greatly appreciated!
