The scrunched up paper was the Gam—another small local paper. A gam is a meeting at sea of 2 ships that heave to and exchange news and gossip! I can’t do sudoku—not just mathmatically challenged—completely and totally inept! I can do data entry and basic stuff, but math is not my forte!

My wife was wondering about the name of the paper "Gam"? LOL

Thanks for the little tid bit of info on the name of the paper. When I was doing oil and gas exploration in the Gulf of Mexico we would tie up our 120ft boats for a few hours at night to transfer equipment and supplies. When the weather permitted we always headed to the other boat's galley to see what the cook had left of the evening meal. Sit and drink coffee.

Never knew what we were doing had a name.
