My guess is that people have gotten tired of doing your job for you. You keep on providing new / alternate specs, and expecting the monks to customize the various solutions for each set of specs. But you've seen enough variants of the solution now that you should have learned enough to try to solve this variant yourself. So try.

And if it doesn't work, show us what you tried, explain why you did that (as compared as to what had gone before: ie, show us that you put thought into the change, not just randomly tried something), and share what you expected versus what you actually got. At that point, you may have shown enough effort that someone will revive interest in helping you. Good luck.

And if you try something and it works, you might want to share that success, too... that will help future monks reading this thread, and reassure your fellow monks that you are willing to put in the effort and learn, and thus they might be less inclined to ignore future questions, too.
