three questions

Since I now got my three questions in the email. here is what I think might be the correct answers:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

From the Ultimate Question of Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Question

1: 42
2. Deep thought
3. 11 March 1952

The "how many .." phrase was the one the mice made up as the questions to the answer 42.


Let's see what will happen.

UPDATE: Oh, it was wrong and I was sure I am on the right track Sad

New addition to Saranna site...


Quote:
Tarot Design Project
For a fun diversion, I'm looking to create a Tarot deck based on your designs. I will publish these as I receive them, and put multiple entries of the same card up for a vote.

Rules of submission:

Choose a card from the Major Arcana to design. Once we have completed the Major Arcana, we can move on to the Minor Arcana.
The size of the card must be based on the proportions of a 4 x 6 photograph.
Entries may include images created using photography, collage, painting, pencil, pastel, pen and ink, etc.
The card design must contain the name and number of the card (in any location on the card and in any format) and contain imagery appropriate to the meaning of the card.
Submissions must be in .jpg format, submitted via email to tarotbysarannaSPLATgmail.com



Something to keep us occupied while we flounder around with this PIMCA thing? :>

Have replied to the email & JPEG agentoncall sent by saying that we are all trustworthy & would be sharing their emails etc.

To show you that you can trust ME, I will let you in on a little secret. There are nine floors here. I work in the basement. You need a special word to access the first floor. Many people want this word, and it can be helpful to you to know it.

Only a few very special people ever make it to the ninth floor. I don't know what's up there, or how to get there, but I can get you past the first gate.Would you like to know? Can you help me?

Seems like I am not up to date regarding waht is going on Sad

Could someone just post which puzzlers are not solved, yet and on what we are working now.

e.g.
- has someone answered the "how many roads..." question correctly.
- what about the sidebar questions
- did the nine vingere sentences lead to something or was it "just for fun?"
- what is with the symbols (hieroglyphs)

At the moment it seems for me that puzzles are just popping up and solving them (or not) does not help.

About your questions AUZ505
1. We don't get anything specified on what answers we got correct if we did.
2. The sidebar questions were speculated on but there was nothing concrete on them. It's a few pages back I think.
3. It solved as this:
Quote:
leading to:
We live here (BJDC)
We are not free (BIIC)
We have been here a long time (BHJH)
Everyone deserves a second chance (BJDA)
There are many of us (BIIF)
You can help us (BIII)
Find the right cards (BIBG)
Find the right friends (BIIC)
Before it is too late (BIDH)

4. I don't know about the hieroglyphs. Someone else will have to answer that.

i sent in my answer to the three questions yesterday and had an email back to say:

Quote:
Nine is a sign that you are closer than the rest. You're no fool, I'm sure you'll get it soon.



i'd guessed the answer to question 1 is 9, because everything on saranna's site has been linked to the number 9 - the number of coded sentences, the hermit card, the nine of pentacles with 9 roots etc.

now the email from the PIMCA mole which amandel has received seems to confirm that the structure of the organisation is based on 9 levels - with the mole in the basement below level 1. in theory, relating this to the tarot major arcana, that would mean agentoncall = the fool, and the key to level 1 would be the magician (which someone mentioned earlier was associated with dylan, though i haven't found any online reference to support that). i've sent in a slightly different three answers and will await a reply.

Nine makes somehow sense to me now:
There are 9 questions in the song "blowing in the wind"

But still the second question does not make sense for me, especially the (its).

On Saranna's deck, the Magician is the only card that has roses on it that I can see; seem to be on the right track.

I'm still laboring under the assumption that we are working to find name and pwd for the PIMCA login; any other thoughts? Tried 'magician' and 'roses' on a flyer, but that didn't work...

That's psychic Kismet, MV. Smile Got the below info in an email yet as I mentioned here on page10 having double 0 interest in things "tarot" chose to withdraw my PIMCA application. Hope this comes in handy for y'all!

Level 1 = The Magician

(However, you will need to answer the applications questions correctly before you can access level one).

New blog post

Quote:
Daily Draw: The Deck
Sometimes you just have to go back to the beginning, revisit the deck, and look at the big picture. What I love about The Major Arcana is that it tells a story.


Looks like we have some reading ahead of us; maybe start here?

AND, the new tweet

Quote:

From 'Daddy' by Sylvia Plath, who figured in IWCB. A reference to the dad who disappeared in that game, or a hint about how to solve the PIMCA questions?

I've been thinking on the birthday thing. Since Poet Laureate is a title given to writer's or poets I tried tracing it back. I came up with the date April 8, 1341 (The only specific date that reared it's head. There were others but only years)
What is his (it's) name: I would usually take that we're looking to name a thing hence the "It" It could be the Fool I sent an answer with the The Magician. My other choices were Death or Judgement.

with the sylvia plath hint on twitter, and the poet laureate question, i am thinking that the card in question (The Hermit) is also maybe a hint towards TH = ted hughes?

i've gone with 9 roads, ted hughes/the hermit/TH, and hughes' birthday. i'll report back my latest 'no' reply later on Smile unless this is finally the right combination...

Nine floors and working in the basement seems code for Nine Gates of Hell. Although on second thought I've been watching way too much Supernatural.

I'm waiting for other quotes, am testing my literary skills Very Happy

I'm wondering whom TH is, Ted Hughes...but most likely Thomas Hardy since they basically wrote what are now `Classics`.

PS Can`t tell you if I received an email from PIMCA as my emails` down for a bit.

OMG, shoot me... I'm pretty sure trying to make sense of tarot is at least one of those circles of hell...

Nevertheless, I tried to keep in character by telling them I may be opening up to such things (my response to the 'previous incarnations' question on the application was 'get real'). I thought I would try a bunch of options at one go, see if they get back to me...

Quote:
You know, I didn't think much of this tarot stuff before I started, but I think I'm getting converted

How about this
Question 1:
- Nine (Hermit will be number 9; ninth key of kabbalat tarot)
OR
- 21 (the fool must meet 21 others on his journey)
OR
- 32 ( 32 paths of wisdom in kabbalat tarot)

Question 2:
Fool (all tarot mythology agrees that the fool is the main character)

Question 3:
17 August 1930 Ted Hughes' birthday

Come on, I must be getting close...
