[Edu] Gnostica question

[miyu]

My apologies Carol for not responding to this post earlier.  There have been
talks all week of a strike/work stoppage among the teachers and has kept me
pretty occupied.

The link you sent though is perfect.  Renaming some of the cards and
re-doing the rules to reflect the changes is a stroke of genius.  I will be
printing up and testing that out over the summer.
