A number of clues, distributed over multiple panels, suggest the importance of pi, and in particular, its most common numerical approximation, 3.14.
On page 17, if one looks at the white columns of the home and the ceiling they support, the customary Greek symbol for pi is clearly visible.
On page 23, the fisherman shows us 3 and 1 finger(s) on his right hand and 4 on his left.
On page 30, the bottom words, STEP INSIDE, invite us to pick off the two internal letters, PI. Nearby we also see the word CIRCLE.
On page 32, a look at the border pattern on Chief Abnaki’s rug reveals that three of the sides flow in the same direction with the fourth as an outlier.
On page 44, we see 314 hidden within the license plate and is coded for by the first three letters of CADILLAC.
Going back to page 40, we see PIE, a homophone for pi. This is followed shortly thereafter by the alliterative THE TIME, and finally by TEA FOR TWO. We are apparently being reminded that two Ts stuck together at the top (TT) yield the symbol for pi.
This brings us to an examination of the 66 Ts that comprise each of the borders on pages 17 and 30. On both pages, at the midpoint of the top and bottom borders, we see that two pairs of Ts are fused to yield the pi symbol.
(I’m guessing the Stockwells have never met Forrest Fenn, but TTOTC backwards is CTOTT. Using the same approach, this could be split up as C TO TT and read as “see 2 pi.” Should seekers of Fenn’s treasure be looking for a circle?)
Finally, look at a list of the 16 words that are anagrams of the colored letters on each panel. Only two start with D, and a border phrase from the first (Dusk to Dawn) suggests looking between them. The corresponding words are MAP and FIRE, which together anagram to PI FRAME. Any potential significance is unclear at this point.
Two features of the solution I posted earlier do indeed display the 3-1-4 format.
The first is the four-dimensional nature of the fox’s journey; a three-dimensional trip through time reminiscent of the space-time notion at the heart of special relativity. The resemblance of the woman on page 40 to Albert Einstein is probably not accidental.
The second is that each of the 16 components of the fox’s journey is composed of three horizontal legs in a single image followed by one vertical move to the next one.
On the other hand, discovering them was not contingent upon a prior awareness of the 3-1-4 format in either case, so why so many pi-related clues?
One weak link in this long line of thinking is pretty clear. Thus far there is no obvious critical role that pi plays in solving Fandango. Perhaps the 3-1-4 format will prove to be of more value down the road.
