Sadly I haven't noted all her ages, but I'm sure she started as 18, then dropped to 17, during the first puzzle.

The picture appears to be "aspetti di vita quotidiana" from the Tacuinum Sanitatis, wiki link here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacuinum_sanitatis

It's another old book on Health. I'll say one thing for this PM they know their ancient literature.

EDIT: As far as I can find the picture represents the effects of rage (wrath) so I think this is maybe a dead end.

Just for fun, I searched the PM's name, "Skully Lake," on Myspace. Turns out it's a woman, and she has a page. (http://www.myspace.com/veronicatechno) One thing I noticed is her headline.

Quote:
Miyar: Don't forget your peoble skills, you might nead them.


This gives us the two letters we need for the as yet unknown puzzle, spelling out: H O P E.

Nice find Gia, once again. So now we have HOPE HH?

I'm still not entirely sure on how we figured out the HH, but it may have significance in the future.

As for Miyar's age, everyone should keep an eye out for changes.

And I'm pretty sure the HIVE GEAR puzzle is an anagram, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense.

If this is another hint from Hope, then we can only assume that it's only her scratches. The crude paint could be from somewhere else, even Miyar herself. Thus, the "SIT HERE" might not be part of the anagram; it seems too literal. Maybe we do have to actually sit there at some point.

Perhaps this will help.

There are special options under the advanced settings to help your search. I don't have time right now, I'm on my way out the door. Good luck.

Ive found that this anagram finder is alot more user friendly:

www.oneacross.com/anagrams

and for some reason, I really doubt this is an anagram puzzle.. its just too long to be, unless we get a really good hint as to which direction this should be going in..

and the "HH" was derived from Sylvias translation of the Greek letters.. I agree though, how she came about that solve is still a mystery.


EDIT: Using the same method as the last room, this is what I got..

SITHEREHIVEGEAREPICFOEIRON
YMUDSTAININGPIHERDINGRISER

I got..

QUNKWKEPVDRMTIYIGLKSUVQJSE

It doesnt ROT, so maybe im at a dead end..


EDIT: Another out-loud thought:

Putting words together helps to form other words, when said out loud.

Example:
FOE-HERDING (FORWARDING), HIVE-RISER (HIGHRISER)
MUD-STAINING (MUDSTAINING or ABSTAINING Maybe?)
...or MUD-PI (MUDPIE lol)

guys I didn't translate it, I merely substituted the Greek letters with English starting with the five letters at the bottom substituting them with MIYAR and used that has a starting point.

While fixing the image below to help explain, I realized I made a mistake. So we can forget about the HH thing. I was wrong. But a new question is, EHE is that a name or should it have been SHE?

I was using paper and pencil to solve it and just assumed that with Adam the other word had to be Eve. Now, I remember what was said about assume.

Also the word ADAM is questionable since I just guessed at the D and the M.

So it looks like, as giamarie pointed out, good find btw, we have H O P E or H O P E S if the EHE above should have been SHE.

If so it breaks down like this :

The H comes from the missing letter in CANCE
The O comes from DNE which should have been ONE
The P comes from PEOBLE which should have been PEOPLE
The E comes from NEAD whch should have been NEED
The S comes from EHE which should have been SHE ?????

So.. EVE left us a hint.. how can we find a hint left by EVE? In the Garden of Eden? ...hmph.. good deduction on the greek btw Sylvia, I like your style.



EDIT: Ok I got the hint we've been waiting for.. I guess you can say I've built some sort of working relationship with Miyar... here it is:

Yes, they do. But, you need only try to do two words at a time. Break up the sentences into two word phrases.
I think that will lighten your load.

so far we have the letters HOPE.. the "PE" came from the "VeronicaTechno" myspace page's mispelled letters..

Im sure we will discover this puzzle in time.

As for now, I believe we are at a sort of standstill with these words. I hate asking outright for clues, but as long as I know what not to waste my time on, it would be a step in the right direction... as I asked before, I really hope these words dont need to be anagrammed...do they..



So Im thinking its like I guessed before... two word phrases, that then need to be anagrammed.. like (FOE-HERDING) maybe.. not sure what sort of anagram I can get from it but its time to crack down people..

I'd try them in order myself, but I'm no good at picking which ones would make sense.

Maybe try "HIVE GEAR," then "EPIC FOE," then "IRONY MUD" and so on.

EDIT:
Smooth, I saw your comment on the blog and just twisted it a slight bit. Still not sure what the second sentence is supposed to be.

WOW!

A lot has happened since the last time I dropped in! I'm trying to catch up now. It strikes me as somewhat odd that were being instructed to get angry at Miyar in the "Wrath" room.
And is the red herring the painting on the wall or, the painting on the back of the chair? Question
Going back to read last couple of pages.

Wow 1 day away & look at all that has happened, I feel so lost now!

Great Work everyone!

Apparently Miyar is 25 y.o. now

I'm going with Sylvia's idea & giving Miyar a piece of my mind but not sitting on the chair
