If you put these in order, and convert the number to letters:

Code:

E A A D B H B E H G D D B F


Probably completely worthless now that I look at it, but maybe it'll spark someone else's imagination.


doing the "keyboard" thing yields:
Code:

not very helpful i'm afraid

Which leads me to believe that, in this little game of charades, the first word is the three-parter (mom-kiss-fairy), and the second word is her pointing at her feet. I don't think "kiss" is directly connected to the rest of the clue.


Hm. Interesting. What would the Princess be pointing at her feet to indicate? Toes? Shoes? Slippers?

Edit: Or, as Shad0 pointed out, down... Smile

Please re-read the pronunciation above. The "m" is pronounced.

Also please I added a PS after you hit quote, but before you hit submit.

PS, guerre is not pronounced the same as fairy.


Sorry, didn't see the PS. but having spoken french ever since I could speak, I can garantee you the the M is not pronounced. "NOM" is pronounced the same way as "NON".

[UPDATE]
I just looked at the m-w.com website and the pronounciation that they describe would the "englishized" version.
We don't pronounce the "M" but if you want to mess up our words, that's up to you Smile

[CONCLUSION]
Well, it is inconclusive.

NOM doesn't sound like MOM but if you use NOM DE GUERRE, this whole expression becomes english and only then does NOM sound like MOM

Hope I made sense! Laughing


They probably took it as Parisian French, not Quebecois. In which case, the 'm' is pronounced

So could this be a way for us to construct a sundial and the rest could be when to look at it or something?

 		Just a thought regarding the 1,1 1,3 puzzle. If the keywords are to be used with the Queen's archived wavs, could this be a clue towards steganography? There was spec that, combined, the first (links.html) Kamal wavs produced a text file that was jumbled. The Queen now has these stories spliced together for us.

Has anybody tried checking any of these riddle keywords as stego passwords for the Queens completed wavs? Example: The (1,1) riddles answer would be the week1_subject1.wav password. It's worth a shot, even if it's a longshot.

Ooh, this really helps. Okay it is a game of charades:

1,1 sounds like mom = 1st word, 1st syllable
1,2 sounds like kiss = 1st word, 2nd syllable
1,3 sounds like fairy = 1st word, 3rd syllable

2 <points at feet> = 2nd word: 'down' or something similar

so 'mom' 'kiss' 'fairy' is a three-syllable word.

Here's my guess:

Monastery Cellar (or dungeon) = catacomb

You'd think "up" wouldn't be too much to ask. It's not like nor-nor-east or something.
I need to find out where I am. Also who, but that might be less important. It's possible the two things are related.

Well, according to the MAYDAY text, Melissa can. Mr. Green

FIELD EXPEDIENT DIRECTION FINDING

"Find a straight stick about a meter long and stand it upright on fairly level upright ground. Mark the tip of the shadow cast by the stick: wait 15 minutes: mark the shadow again. Draw a line from the first mark through the second and some way beyond. Stand with your left foot on the first mark and your right on the end of the line. In the northern hemisphere, you will now be facing north, and can recall the other directions by their relationship to north. In the south, contrariwise."

Hm.

No stick.
No sun.

Naah. It's probably from one of the archived pages, 'cause it's from the original Widow's Journey story way back in Phase 1:

"The Widow said, "I am the servant of your / Queen, and I have walked up out of Hell to prepare this / Keep for her return. Let me pass." But the Manticore did / not know her, and still he barred the way."

Janissary James (points down == Aims), but Jan doesn't rhym with mom.

Maybe commissary floor fits the clues better.

 		did anyone else notice (open to updates):

1,1 sounds like mom
1,2 sounds like kiss
1,3 sounds like fairy
2 points at feet

and:

1,1: A bee and a belle both enjoy this = ?
1,2: ?
1,3: A mailman and a midwife both worry about that = delivery (rhymes with fairy)
2: I do this : ( when I bust at blackjack = frown (rhymes with down)

is this a good lead?
2 words (like the other results so far: so mean, desktop model, knockout gas)

perhaps these are file names of new audio clips?
