    $\begingroup$ Just give it some time. Enigmatic puzzles usually take time to get some interested puzzlers, by its nature. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Personally, I find this whole "of doesn't mean of" and the like needlessly confusing. If you want to say that A takes some from B then you wouldn't confuse people who interpret of as a fraction. The definition of nvo is not comprehensible. All these leads me to believe that this will end up something that makes sense only to the puzzle setter. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @KateGregory, it's better if it confuses people more :D If it's not comprehensible, try to decode what it means. And no, you have to figure it out. The puzzle is deliberately framed so. justhalf, indeed. They take too much time, apparently. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @justhalf, it's actually an easy puzzle. A tag which would give a big hint isn't there, so I couldn't add it. But even without the tag, it's easy. Just solve it like you'd solve any other puzzle: carefully and shrewdly. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @TheAmateurCoder that's all fine, just be aware that as a puzzle setter, what's easy for you might not be easy for solvers :) But I'll give this the benefit of doubt and I'll just see when the answer is revealed whether this is a good puzzle or not (since this is an enigmatic puzzle, the quality is hard to judge until someone solves it) $\endgroup$
