At Moby Dickens video - Mr. Fenn says: "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. " Ok, we have used this to justify how the clues must be followed in order, but put that aside for a second. The master puzzle maker always embeds a subtle surprise within the intended message. Something much more important but almost invisible until it use becomes obvious we are on the path of discovery. This statement has always bothered me. Mr. Fenn is fairly good at articulating his points, but this statement is explained very awkwardly (kind of what I am doing right now  ). If one looks at it the way he intended, it will make perfect sense. Can anyone else see the significance of this awkward contiguous statement? Is the answer printed on the treasure chest full of gold coins? "Fortunately, I talked a museum friend into selling me his beautiful cast bronze chest that had three-dimensional female figures on its four sides and on the lid. I know I paid way too much for it but once in a while something comes along that is so special as to discount all logical rules of value."~TOTTCIs it coincidence that we have "coined" a new phrase, form where those " coins" are hidden... Let’s coin a new phrase. You can’t have a “correct solve” unless you can knowingly go to within several steps of the treasure chest. Otherwise you have a “general solve.” What do you think? f [MW]This tells that all 9 clues are within walking distance one step then your next step to find each clue IMO all 9 clues are within a 1001ft.Steps not driving. |

Hi Heidini! Sorry I have been away from the forums for a very long time. I had to focus on my studies and finish writing my thesis. I have been working at my new job and finally got some time to check into this forum (Jenny runs a great place with great people) and saw a few messages. I hope all has been going well with you all. |

General solve is to normal for me. Hi all, pleasant to see one of my old posts being discussed. I speculated over a year ago in my contiguous clues post on CC www.chasechat.com/showthread.php?tid=6409&pid=138573#pid138573 that "put one foot down and then step on it to get to the next foot. " was referring to a ladder since Mr. Fenn says we will never stumble (refers to feet) on the treasure. This is what I was hoping others might conclude in this thread when Fenn said lets coin a new phrase "knowingly go to within several steps of the treasure chest" [it is a hint to ladder] I think it is further supported by Mr. Fenn's latest SB188 dalneitzel.com/2018/06/21/scrapbook-one-hundred-eighty-eight/ where he specifically states "“Hey feller I’m up here” the voice bellowed. I was standing beside a ladder that climbed straight up about 10 feet to a platform where I saw an arm wildly waving at me. “Think you could find a couple of cold ones somewhere?” As many who know me will remember I have a kitchen sink philosophy, meaning everything Fenn says is a hint to the treasure location or clues in the poem. Crazy I know, but I wouldn't have it any other way! Take care and be kind to one another. |

I don't see the contiguous comment as akward. I see it from a different perspective I guess. I get the meaning behind it but like so many other aspects of the poem the definition is not in its proper and accepted logic. I guess a way to explain it would be to describe an echo. The very word has to do with sound. But what, if you can visualize, would a visual echo be. A reflection I suppose. Transferring logics from one form to another. Just like the word contiguous. By definition the clues are touching and flow from one into another. There is a different word with the same logic to it for literature. That word also crosses into medical and also into other interesting areas Forrest has eluded to. This one I know how to work it. Ok a lot has happened since this was written. I have always stated there is an astrological connection to the correct solution. Asterisks * is a star, Stern from SB 151 means star, Stella (from SB 126 your favourite floating hat) is Italian for star (that is why FF likes Italians lol), his Gucci/Malmart reference uses * as its logo and of course now Once Upon a While Fenn is fishing using a * as bait. If you are a Big Bang theory believer, then you will understand that we all came from exploding stars (super nova) and the very first steps of the universe or life in general began with that star formation. Imaginative I know, but there is a "stars stripes and steps" organization you might want to research if you don't like super novas! I could go on and on about stars but that is enough to get the think juices flowing. The Wolf www.FindingFenn.com |

Hi, Wolf. Of course “dancing with the stars” literally points us towards a star idea. So glad to see you. Congrats!

Glad to talk to you again as well. Yes, dancing with the stars, Gypsies and even our own sun is a star.

Hi, Wolf. Of course “dancing with the stars” literally points us towards a star idea. So glad to see you. Congrats! Yes, the stars. In a post over at Dals I laid this out (part of the post)... dalneitzel.com/2018/07/02/odds-n-ends-about-fenns-treasure-hunt-59/#comment-547722And no one seemed to get the point of that "Very Large Array" (that's the name of the thing). It listens to the stars. That was one of the big hints that Forrest relayed through Margie's article. That, along with the hint that Forrest has been giving us a road map to Wyoming, via highway numbers. This one wasn't the road map, it's a hint that there are other hints that build a road map. |
