Answer 21

Well, that was a simple decision. I'm not deleting this question due to the work that was put in by other users. Also, I am particularly in favor of the approach that @Diyadiya *attempted* to use in leading this asker to the solution, as opposed to simply providing her the answer she wanted. Thanks everyone!
