i like the idea of 41 = AI in L337 speak

and preposition = PRE position makes a lot of sense with this new clue she gave us.

"Before she became a queen"

do we know WHEN she became a queen?

did it have anything to do with the crash? or was she a queen before?

am I gonna get slapped with a stinky trout?

[Amanalphion]

Before the SP's enemy was the queen, she was the operator? Operator = op, op = opposite. Between is between 20 prepositions on each side... between_opposites.wav? No, I guess not... I am going to feel like such a moron when we finally discover the ridiculously simple solution to this seemingly impossible puzzle.

[tsioc]

maybe she was between... what?

states of consciousness?

states of existence?

states of health?

[firefox]

sounds like ai prepositions (ai prepositions = answer to riddle = the operator)

soooo.. how many words rhyme with operator?

alligator.wav?

annotator.wav?

cardioaccelerator.wav?


visit me at noidea.arghh!



edit: either a word that sounds like the operator, or someone that sounds like the operator

[rose]

pre operative?

pre operations?

but maybe not the operator as the SP never calls her that and, technically, she is the Operator at the same time as she is the Queen....

before she became the smart ai -- what was she?

human
girl
woman

between states?
dead - the smart ai uses brains from dead people supposedly, but I don't put anything past these guys

Nothing from the early memories gives an answer to this question, does it?

And she was a weapon

[Flidget Jerome]

I think we're being a little too literal with the SP's clue. There's no way we could have known that 'sounds like' and a list of 41 prepositions had anything to do with the Queen a week ago, so I don't think it relates to her. I suspect the SP's just hinting that 'preposition' sounds like 'previous position'.

'Course, I tried that.

And 'my_previous_position', 'your_previous_position', 'old_job', 'former_job', 'previous_job', 'my_old_job', 'my_former_job', 'my_previous_job', 'your_old_job', 'your_former_job' and 'your_previous_job'.

So I could be wrong.

[casius black]

going with the idea of "between" perhaps its something like phrases that include between such as:
a rose between to thorns
stuck between a rock and a hard place...
just my two cents...
havn't tried them though...

[Meeps]

Yeah, before I went to bed I was thinking along the same lines as Flidget Jerome there. A "pre position" in general terms and then trying to apply the second clue to it. The problem I face is that "position" can mean a lot of things depending on how you look at it. It can mean a job, a title, a stance on something, like a point of view or it can mean an actual physical position, like "hey I'm over here", your position in space. I was thinking maybe it meant some kind of "position" before the crash? Perhaps? Or maybe it's before something else.

But like others have said before I do think it's important not to focus too much on the Queen since that wasn't in the first clue.

operators

Operator = Operative?

[papamarx]

Could SP's clue be as simple as "PERSON"?

Person sounds like position.

[casius black]

i think permission sounds more like position than person...i've tried a few ideas including, her_permission, your_permission, permission_granted

dunno if this is how you find if its a proper wav, am i doing this right?

[Astald]

Yes casius black, that is how the correct .wav file will be found. I was actually looking at artificial_blank. The second word would begin with an "I", but I already tried everything that was also ten letters long and rhymed with preposition. Still no luck on my end. But I won't give up.
