    Some superb surfaces today. Hard to pick one CoD. Gita is fully justified in her "awesome puzzle" claim at orkut.

    Thanks Kris. I have doubts on both per=for and everyone=I. per=for each, but for? And is everyone=I because of every one=I?

    Hi Shyam

    The clue should actually read "Exit, for every one's quiet"

    For every = Per, one = i, quiet = sh.

    I guess the editor felt that the space between every and one was unintentional and hence removed it :)
