Yes, that's what I was talking about yesterday (and similar to Heady's post a while back). I'd forgotten about the use of the "X" formation. That would put a hole in my alternate theory ("N"). Our "O" theory wouldn't really be affected, since it's early enough in the alphabet that it comes before the "X" formation is used. Unfortunately, the "O" theory has remained unconfirmed by Chelsea for over a day. Unless AI sleep on Sundays, I'd say it's a bust.
