 		Here's the part that makes me suspicious:

The Secret, sweet Alice,
LIES DEEP

only by a KNIGHT
and none are left in
this game but
PAWNS

prophet I have SPAWNED

Not Quite


Let's look at the 5x5 letter puzzle in the box again, the one puzzle we haven't solved yet.

Could it be that the key to figuring out what to say is to move like a Knight on a chessboard around the 5x5 grid? Could we spell out the riddle by doing that?

That would be consistent with his earlier mention of "The Knight's question must be answered."

I just started working on that very technique! Very Happy

 		If
If that is the case, a knight moves 3 spaces, 4 if you count where he start. Are we looking for a 4 letter word, or 2 8 letter words, or a path from on side of the "board" to another?

Well, I couldn't get that to work. Maybe we're still waiting on other info?

 		Y'know, Lutwidge did some terrible things, but page #2 of Mark's visit to Tollevue is kinda depressing.

Wow - nice theory!!!! Very Happy Never thought of it that way, but if OOL was in Rapture long enough to have a daughter..... Interesting.

I had the total off-the-wall thought that maybe Celeste was actually his daughter, and he was the one she was seeking........I like your idea much better!


Not necessarily.... do you remember Suchong's techniques for the rapid growth of kids?

 		True that - good point - full grown in 2 years, if I'm not mistaken (at least Jack was in Bioshock)

ALSO - UPDATE - next page of Mark's notes on the floor by desk.

 		Atlas
You know that eerie voice that comes on the radio sometimes?
I think that voice might in fact be fontaine. If you start a new game and listen to the part where fontaine is talking to tenenbaum while your in the bathysphere to rapture, it has the same kind of tone and echo to it.

P.S. where is this 5x5 puzzle you're talking about?

Glad I'm not the only one who thought of it. Very Happy

Well, we'll definitely need more hints... maybe there's a hint in the diary?

Which reminds me, I noticed some of the words in the diary are written ALL IN CAPS, and the placement of those words doesn't seem to follow an apparent pattern.

 		Hey 2K..
Write a book using solely the material on this website. I am into this to a point but it's hard to organize and interpret all the information. I think most people feel like it'd be a fun read if it were organised into a story that revealed all the mysteries as you read it.

 		Ok this is pissing me off but the 4x4 puzzle just isn't there on my computer. Anyone else have this problem?

Edit: NM, didn't realize the song led to it.

 		Just a thought about the notebook tangle
tangle ideas
So I was just thinking about the tangle. The flipping of the triangle seems relevant.

Also: were the image of the tangle clearer I would be more confidant, but it's possible the position of the letters on the circle has something to do with the letters on the 5x5 grid.

In regards to "To [Square] the (circle) is a tangle"
Perhaps means "to 5x5 square this circle, it seems like a tangle"


Don't know!
First time poster, forgive any stupidity plz.

Also under "Squaring the circle" on wikipedia. It's says this:

The famous Victorian-age mathematician, logician and author, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (better known under the pseudonym, "Lewis Carroll") also expressed interest in debunking illogical circle-squaring theories. In one of his diary entries for 1855, Dodgson listed books he hoped to write including one called "Plain Facts for Circle-Squarers". In the introduction to "A New Theory of Parallels", Dodgson recounted an attempt to demonstrate logical errors to a couple of circle-squarers, stating[4]:

"The first of these two misguided visionaries filled me with a great ambition to do a feat I have never heard of as accomplished by man, namely to convince a circle squarer of his error! The value my friend selected for Pi was 3.2: the enormous error tempted me with the idea that it could be easily demonstrated to BE an error. More than a score of letters were interchanged before I became sadly convinced that I had no chance."

 		I'm wondering whether the letters on the triangle mean something:

.........A
......../..\
......K....M
...../...N..\
....A...B...C
