 In many puzzles, one's visual comprehension of the scenario plays a vital role. Where something doesn't necessarily meet the eye, or is not behaving as you would expect- just try reading any messages or output. Sometimes the clues are right under your nose. In many puzzles, one's visual comprehension of the scenario plays a vital role.

 +=====Verification=====
 +The **results** file, when correctly unscrambled and assembled, can be verified by generating its **md5sum** hash.
 +
 +This hash should match the hash stored inside the **MANIFEST** file located in the project directory (in the public directory).

 In addition to the files produced during the completion of this project, I would also like for you to create a detailed step-by-step text file called **pbx0steps** which includes the valid command-lines that will document for me the steps you took from project commencement through completion. You will submit this file at the end in accordance with the instructions. In addition to the files produced during the completion of this project, I would also like for you to create a detailed step-by-step text file called **pbx0steps** which includes the valid command-lines that will document for me the steps you took from project commencement through completion.

 +
 +<code>
 +52:pbx0:final tally of results (52/52)
 +*:pbx0:submitted results file via submit tool [7/7]
 +*:pbx0:submitted pbx0steps file via submit tool [8/8]
 +*:pbx0:results md5sum matches project MANIFEST [5/5]
 +*:pbx0:results is correctly unscrambled and assembled [5/5]
 +*:pbx0:pbx0steps contains valid list of instructions [12/12]
 +*:pbx0:pbx0steps any extra information after hash mark [5/5]
 +*:pbx0:emailed results via instructions [5/5]
 +*:pbx0:matching subject line as per instructions [5/5]
