Well, Dave answered the puzzle, although e didn't quite get the history 
right -the phrase "Each Player may only cast one vote on any given 
Proposal or Motion" was removed from rule 20 by Antonio's proposal 
100/0, __Cleaning Up__, in nweek 1, but it doesn't change the answer.

So... uh... well, I was going to give whoever got this 30 points, but 
the Admin, AFAIK, has no use for points; e can use BNS, though, so I 
give em 300 BNS instead.

No hostility towards the was meant Baron by this, but apparently some 
was interpreted as being there. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I guess historical scavenger hunts just aren't popular these days.
