Sometimes when I'm trying to solve a problem, I just end up in a state of confusion. Maybe some of you have also been in a similar state at times. I sometimes think that I need to get better organized; Maybe draw on the skills and talents of my neighbors while sharing my skills and knowledge with them. You know, form a sort of puzzle solver's union to assemble all of the great minds to work together to solve difficult problems. But I suppose as the group grew in population and geographical scope, it would end up getting complicated too. We'd might do stuff like write a constitution, elect representatives, levy dues and create laws to preserve a sense of peace and order. In the end though I fear we'd just end up confused and distracted by all the political stuff and it would get in the way of the original goal: solving the problems. But I digress. (See how easily I end up this confused state?) Suffice it to say, at least this puzzle emerged as a result of my most recent state of confusion. Can you make any sense of it?
