Default Removing glued-on carpet from concrete floor?

DAGS, no real luck other than "try citrus based solvents" or "hire a

Any idea what kind of glue they used?

I had berber glued to the floor tiles in both bathrooms. It was stuck down
with some kind of yellow goop that dissolved when the kids got a toy car
stuck in the toilet, backed it up, and flooded the floor.

Cheap to try. Pour a bucket of water on it and see what happens after half
an hour. Especially if you're getting rid of the carpet anyway.

Watch the baseboards!
