Puzzle #348

[vinjashira]

Husky mom, I like your idea. Maybe the next host could set new rules.
I don't know who started this game and I don't know if that person would mind or not though.

JuniorxMyxLove you can play again now.
I haven't taken your D as a guess.

Anyway, here is the update:

JuniorxMyxLove solved the puzzle. Congratulations!


Here is the answer:

Like dogs in a wheel, birds in a cage, or squirrels in a chain, ambitious men still climb and climb, with great labor, and incessant anxiety, but never reach the top.

JuniorxMyxLove you can host the next one or if you are unable to do it this time you can ask the person with the highest points to do it (Randi).

Thank you for playing everyone.
