Forrest talks about imagination, but when he talks about how to solve the poem to find the chest, he thinks it would take logic:
"It seems logical to me that a deep thinking treasure searcher could use logic to determine an important clue to the location of the treasure. Is someone doing that now and I don’t know it? It’s not what they say on the blogs that may be significant, it’s what they whisper. f"
The recent nudge towards videos of a logical nature hint to this too. Forrest says his poem is straight forward.
The way I see it is the difficulty of finding a solution is the vagueness of the poem, not the lack of searcher's use of imagination.

All, dalneitzel.com/2017/02/25/scrapbook-one-hundred-sixty-six-2/ 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. Those who solve the first clue are more than half way to the treasure, metaphorically speaking. f I am of the opinion that once you have solve the first clue everything else may start to fall in place.

Forrest talks about imagination, but when he talks about how to solve the poem to find the chest, he thinks it would take logic: .This may not be a contradiction. Let’s use his reverse bicycle example and flip it around. Perhaps imagination does not lead one to the treasure. Logic does. But imagination is what one finds at either WWWH or the treasure spot once logic has led you there. |

Imagination doesn’t necessarily mean wild crazy ideas. Imagination can simply mean visualization. Forrest has given us the words which paint a picture. Our job is to put the picture together.

I believe Forrest has literally painted the Forest with clues this is why we need to use logic and imagination, it will show itself in his painting. From a sunrise, flying birds, and to graffiti on trees. Small gurgling creeks and no human trail in close proximity. You’ll see. Once you see it.

If meek = quiet
then it's = no place for the quiet
else it's = a place for the opposite of quiet
var opposite of quiet = loud
let answer(no place for the meek) = a place for the loud
I think I'll type the whole poem in and let my computer figure it out.

What if logic is just to figure out the last clue, and imagination is for clues 1-8? No need then? |

Reading this thread reminds me of flow/logic charts...If, and, or buts is how I read the poem now using this thread

Because Forrest talks about how important the 'First Clue' is, when I read that quote I often feel it refers to the 'First Clue' (WWWH)....but it very well may not.... |

.
Or, logic could be used to figure out a hint / clue that it’s not one of the nine in the poem.

Forrest has said the following:
If a person will think, they can find the chest, but the secret is to think and analyze. They can find the chest. Just can’t get out of your car and walk over in the woods and walk to it.
Think and analyze.
The quotes above, and others not stated on imagination, advocate then, that the meaning of the word think, utilizes a searcher's imagination.
Can we all agree the title of the thread should read: Logic, with some use of imagination, is needed to solve Forrest's poem.
