 		[8/13/42] 4th Set of Questions
Three Questions
Here we go again.

13lights.org updated with another link to ask questions. Three questions to be exact.

I've sent my 3.

Edit: and here they are

Quote:
Q: What relation does the number 0216 have with the The Saint?
A: Oh, nothing much.

Q: Who is the dreamer who sings his name J?
A: You might already know.

QWhat is the odd symbol that appears several times in the package we received in Albany?
A: There is nothing in the database currently, but it does not seem too odd to me.

 		Sneaky. We'll have to make them count.

I'm going to ask them one at a time, so I can process what he says before asking another.

Edit: Note that we apparently have a little over a day to do this in; there is a countdown to about 2 PM tomorrow EST

Edit v2: To avoid duplication of effort, here was my first question:

"Regarding the Suduko math, there are questions related to the
methodology. What do the "..." after the first four variables for
Yellow and Blue mean?"

 		Well, I think he wants us to ask only three questions at a time but I wil test that theory by shooting off another three sometime today.

A: I think you already know. As someone not very famous once said, "You always second guess yourself. Just think of all the time you'd save if you just trusted yourself."

Quote:

Q: Is anyone else from John's primary world present in our world?
A: Not right now, but possibly soon.

Q: Who was the individual who was met in Albany? You implied he'd be a surprise, but I don't think any of us recognized him...
A: You already know who he is.


If no one else from John's world is here, and we "already know" the dude in Albany, logically that would have to be John.

Not necessarily. The answer to your question was "not right now", which doesn't mean someone from John's primary world hasn't been in our world previously. We don't exactly know what his 'primary world' is, or how someone might travel in or out of it... and we've already met with several people, whose origins weren't explained.

Assuming this was John, which is very possible, it would seem odd for him to contact us... since it is so vital for us to locate him. And if we do need to locate him, it may help to take another look at that photograph and figure out where it was taken. We also know that in our world John works in a local hardware store...

To avoid repeat questions, note that I've asked about the relevance of the picture already.

 		You raise excellent points re: John. We'll hopefully get some clarity on that over the next day or so

 		Here's a bit of clarification:

The Watcher wrote:
Q: In Albany we were given a photograph... do we need to determine the location where this photograph was taken?
A:No, it is of little importance.

Q: Does the 'John' that exists in our world have any knowledge of us?
A: Hardly any, I'd imagine.

Q: Does the journal entry given to us in in Albany belong to the 'John' in our world... or, to be more specific, does the 'John' in our world dream of events that took place in the world of the Unix Nations?
A: You could say both, but more of the second.


The second question wasn't worded well; I meant to find out if the John in our world actually knows that we exist. Having 'hardly any' knowledge of us could mean that he's aware of us, but has little information. So it doesn't rule him out as the person in Albany Confused

Anyone determine if we have a 3 question limit, total, or if it's 3 at time?

 		Does this answer your question?

Quote:
You've already asked your three questions.

But I will make an exception to perhaps help your journey a bit:

Q: Am I looking for a person or a thing?
A: A thing.


I asked 3 questions about the drop. I do kind of plan on going.

me too... the patient 'twiddling' is turning into a slightly less patient 'rocking'... and not the devil-signing head-banging kind. Though actual banging of the head, on the desk, may happen if the clock runs down to zero with nothing more learned.

Or I could go grab a cookie and a xanax Smile

 		So we have about two hours left. I have some suggestions if someone who hasn't asked wants to contribute....

* Is the person who was met in Albany primarily from John's first world, or are the wholly a part of the second one?

* The target area on the map seemed rather large. Are we looking for a specific point, or do we need to do an exhaustive search?

* If the symbol from the package does not seem odd to you, where have you seen it before?

Edit: And if someone else has suggestions, why not add them? And if someone asks them, let us know to avoid duplication...

Done.

A: He is a face you will soon recognize. Who you saw was not real, just an illusion of my creation.

A: Be a pirate.

Q: If the symbol from the package does not seem odd to you, where have you seen it before?
A: It is on many vials in prison.
