Editor's Note: This was posted in 2007 and the photo quality is unfortunately too poor to make out the instructions. This member is no longer a part of ThriftyFun so we never will know exactly what it says. Luckily, exact instructions are not necessary. One should say Novice or Easy and the other says Advanced or Genius.
If you come up with your own instructions, please share them in the feedback.
