In treasure hunting, a pace is also known as a varra and has symbols associated with it/how many, etc.
Interesting, so when he says he put one foot on top of the other(I dont have quote handy) he may well have meant heel to toe.
When he made the buffalo he said he dont do feet (from mw questions)
He gets winded if he walks 50 meters.
All quotes can be searched.

. Thank You for the reply zaphod. I remember one time I was looking at a location and thought poem directly to look on a bearing. Hi Astree: I feel like a word or more is missing there, so I don't want to wrongly guess your intent. It's actually fairly synonymous; it's a situation of words describing a pair of things equally well. |

. zaphod - thanks, i fixed my post How to narrow it down to a few inches? Treasure maps often use paces to get you to the X marks the spot. 'Pace' can be found in the word 'place' and 'peace' in the poem. Definition of pace: 1. A step made in walking; a stride. 2. A unit of length equal to 30 inches (0.76 meter). 3. The distance spanned by a step or stride, especially: a. The modern version of the Roman pace, measuring five English feet. Also called geometric pace. b. Thirty inches at quick marching time or 36 at double time. c. Five Roman feet or 58.1 English inches, measured from the point at which the heel of one foot is raised to the point at which it is set down again after an intervening step by the other foot. Interesting that if you go in (the word) pEACe you get ACE (one) and an acrostic of gO iN peacE is ONE. As we see ONE in the first line if the poem as well. Also, a second had quote from forrest relates to being within six inches. |

I thought about the foot quote too but I'm trying to stick to the poem as hard as that is lol! It's a weird quote actually. "They're contiguous. I knew where I wanted to hide the treasure chest, so it was easy for me to put one foot down and then step on it to get to the next foot." Maybe he's bringing attention to the idiom "put one foot in front of the other" which alludes to continuous and deliberate steps. Remember the song from the original movie " Santa Claus is Coming to Town?" In that song it meant it's easy to go from bad to good, to change....in other words, just do it. |

"If you are in the right spot, something you probably haven't thought about, should be obvious to you." - Coded words to Jenny (August, 2018) I always assumed this applied on the ground, but in the context of this discussion (being exact) I'm rethinking that. Being "in the right spot" implies physical presence to me. It's curious why he didn't say "at the right spot," however. I've never thought of a spot as something you can be in as opposed to at, but the definition of spot is murky that way. Plus, if you can be exact from your armchair or jail cell, why would you need to note something obvious you had not thought of on the ground? Here's more food for thought: "The treasure is out there waiting for the person who can make all the lines cross in the right spot.” “A metal detector will help you if you’re in exactly the right spot.” And an email exchange between Forrest and Mindy F. (Sept 2015): Forrest: “It is there alright. People are just not looking in the right spot.” Mindy: “So, no one is looking near the right spot?” Forrest: “No one is looking AT the right spot." (Forrest capitalized "AT.") For people who don't have TFTW there's another 'lines cross' quote on the fold out page of the map - ...'study the clues in the book and thread a tract through the wiles of nature and circumstance to the treasure." Thinking of Kit Williams' Masquerade. |
