@MrsLargeEmbodied what would you take to or do to 997?

I’m also stuck on 997. Not sure the clue above is helping me!

It is actually a good clue but it took me a while to untangle the way it was worded. Here it is reworded a bit:
If you, as a person, want to 997 then you have to do (or take) this first.

I am being so dim: just can’t see it. I’m sure I’ll kick myself.

You have actually given yourself a little bit of a clue in your own post!
