Well guys,
Now that you are loosening up a little, and letting you feelings guide you, as a team you are getting there ;-0) And how long does a quick guess take, as Frank so rightly said ?
Although what Ockham has to do with this I could not fathom out Karl !? But I did like Ivo's style of doing things. Anything.
And all my original point was about, was - we all need and use Enums, but often without much thought as to their importance, even if they are not as complex as the rest of the stuff we often need to use in .NET, we can't do without them. And our code would break if the underlying values were in any way re-mapped. Break big-time.
Below the image shows that from the large pile of 'found' enums we can in fact find the one which caused all of this fun in the first place.
'RegexOptions' is required for the Mask code I have been discussing recently.

Notice that the long list is now in alphabetical order - and this was done by a simple and small bit of LINQ code. See this next image and the code beneath it :-

In fact I have used quite a few bits of LINQ code in my lines of code to find Assemblies and Enums - and values etc. Long live LINQ - or 'LLL' for short ;-0)
And with an extra bit of code we can list and see the members of this Enum structure 'RegexOptions'.
The values allow multiple use of the members - in a bit-wise fashion (more another time).

Oh! and I still have not given the answer I found ;-0)
Lets wait to see if some guy comes up with an even better guess ! Even a second Team answer.
New hint - billions is just a bit too far to imagine etc..
OR - divide the height of the 'thumb' into the length of the vertical scroll bar, and get the wrong answer !!??
Good Luck,
Speak soon,
Phil.
