– Can you give me one quote that will inspire my readers that it is possible to find your treasure? Something to motivate them? Something to tease them. FF: Those who solve the first clue are more than half way to the treasure, metaphorically speaking. dalneitzel.com/2017/02/25/scrapbook-one-hundred-sixty-six-2/ |

From the same interview: – How much more likely are hunters to work out where warm waters halt with the aid of TTOTC, compared to without it? FF: You sure ask confounding, but insightful questions. The clues are in the poem, but there are hints in the book. Which implies there might be a hint to WWH in TTOTC, doesn't it? |

This brings us back to the original post, if you can drive to the first clue (wwwh) and the clues are within close proximity of each other and the chest, then wouldn't you be more than halfway to the treasure, literally speaking? Why metaphorically speaking?

Why metaphorically speaking? I think it's less about the distance and more that if you have solved the first clue (1 of 9), you're massively ahead of people who haven't. |

Hi Dave - True, but my point is that his use of 'metaphorically' possibly changes certain solve scenarios. |

WWH is exactly half way to the treasure from Santa Fe. |

Funny you say Aha Dave. This has me thinking about the use of wwwh in a metaphorical sense. There's a line in the beginning of The Codex when a detective was at Broadbent's (the Fenn character's) house to see if the house was robbed or if there was a larger plan which would explain him as well as all of the artifacts in the home missing. The detective has an aha moment when he sees a video on the floor of Broadbent's study titled "Watch Me". The line reads, "Like water freezing, it all locked into place." Could wwwh refer to a specific time and place when Forrest had an aha moment? Even if used in a metaphorical sense, we could still drive to the first clue.
