My turn to apologize. I was not offended by your previous missive (though I did read the entire thread), I simply don't like to look at the solution until I am done playing with the puzzle.

My last message was my answer to the question of "5 out of 32, with two consecutive numbers". I figured the first number was a gimme, but each successive number would require figuring two options of each previous number, i.e. one higher and one lower.

Hou did a div?
