Hi Magnum,
thanks for your ongoing patience with a young Padawan :s
I am kind of lost, in my opinion the truncate should have easily cracked
the hash, but to no avail. I ran your sed magick again over the txt file
(without linebreaks) and used the truncate rule on it, no luck.

So I am afraid I did something utterly stupid (like starting with the
last art of a sentence and making it a new sentence, typos, adding a
number at the beginnin or end - which I doubt - et cetera) and hence
will have to go back to incremental and keeping fingers crossed. Unless
someone else has another good idea ...
It is anyway good to start learning about the rules, in case I ever need
them again :)
Cheers,
Demian
