Google isn't going to do you any good. You’d be better off compiling the nucleotides and then going to NCBI and running a BLASTn search. Google isn’t going to do you any good.

Maybe someday I'll go through the 1000-pages and compile the whole thing (if my curiosity doesn't fade). But I was kind of hoping that by posting about it, someone who already knows about this would be able to help. It's a fairly common textbook, so maybe the puzzle/joke is well-known among biologists..? Or maybe another strategy would be to compile a sequence of nucleotides that is long enough to be unique, and then just Google it and see what comes up. That's probably the smart way to do it. Jordan,

If you have all of them or a sufficient number of them, in the proper order, it might be possible to come up with something. Insufficient data.
