bravo my alter e guy
for you have outdone me again

your answer here is what enigmatologists call a cook

a correct solution other than the intended one

& therefore better than the intended one
because it either busts or forces a refinement in the puzzle

& i would add this particular cook is an impressive solution to an
impressive new puzzle in its own right


so i will have to change now
what i asked
tho not what i meant
by substituting the words
most massive
for the word
largest
in the original question here below

& will just have to hope there are no other cooks to be found


shouldve recalled all that delicious shrooming in oregon too
