There may be a minor mistake in your approach. We have a different answer. We would insists on solving Fox 93 first:<br />http://www.8foxes.com/Home/93<br /><br />Then you can add another dimension and try solving Fox 94.<br />Thanks.8foxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09567328431908997738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6500033298667240354.post-9874638005764671152009-10-28T04:39:46.794-07:002009-10-28T04:39:46.794-07:00i think the answer is C
