And here is the required stab at one of the last G-2198 numbers.

517 - outdated

(It may not be right, but I can't find anyone who has suggested it before, so at least it's new.)

As for 74, could you give us a slight hint? Specifically, I'm wondering about that enigmatic 'and' just before it. If you were to expand that sentence to be more precise, would it read:

Each was strong in number and strong in 74.

or:

Each was strong in number and each was 74.

Thank you.

Greg responds...

517 is wrong.

As for the hint you wanted, I'm sorta against giving extra hints. But I too am tired of this contest. So, the former.

Hello! Love your work, especially Gargoyles. That series was inspiration to me.

On to the question, this one Gargoyles 2198 related:

We have two unguessed numbers left. However, there are several answers that I could not find with a thurough investigation of the archive: 123, 126 and 323. What were the already given answers for these three?

Also, the Galvatron guessed 436 as Empire and 438 as Technology, and you neither confirmed those answers as correct nor called them wrong/previously answered. Later attempts at 436 and 438 all met with the wrong/previously answered response, so I want to confirm that these were the correct answers.

Thank you.

Greg responds...

I'm sorry, I don't have that info available to me here in Burbank. Though I find it hard to believe it's not in the archive. I know someone (is it Vashkoda?) has a webpage dedicated to this. You might ask in the comment room.

I am fairly confident that we're down to these last two.

Nevermind about me not finding the 2198 contest.

Here are my stabs at some 8 and 9 letter words I was guessing off the top of my head:

517-maintain
517-initiate
517-protocol
517-recycled
517-visually
517-reformed
517-separate
517-question

74-translate
74-avoidedly
74-transform
74-networked
74-macintosh (hey, why not? It's 9 letters)
74-addressed

Greg responds...

all wrong. Most don't even pretend to fit into the context of the blank.
