No clue needed 2nd gen noob, as u have just snatched the cigar from illuminati's clasping fingers
Congrats

to be honest, that was a total guess. it doesn't feel right to accept the cigar....but i'll do it anyway, if only so illuminati doesn't get it

How much does WWII play in the solution ?

None, I just edited in an explanation in my earlier post (to get around flood control) . It just gave a reason to make the difference between American and European date format important

You know that if you hit 'reply' you can see the invisible posts in the 'last 10 posts' bit?

He who nails the right answer gets the cigar - No way around it.

Now smoke it and make if infect your lungs

Still, I'm getting weary...

ok, a new one:

One day a mysterious figure burst into Sallys Shop and posed her with a puzzle. Slapping down a huge amount of money on the counter, he said &#39;Divide &#036;1083 (whole increments, no change) into a number of bags, so that I can ask for any amount between &#036;1 and &#036;1083, and you can give me the proper amount by giving me a certain number of these bags without opening them. If you are correct, you keep the Money. If you aren&#39;t, I get your entire shop. Sally , being a very smart woman takes the challenge. What is the fewest number of bags sally will require?

1+2+4+8+16+32+64+128+256+512+60=&#036;1083
