In transit

We will soon be moving the hostage.

All cells await further instructions.

As per usual, each instruction will be a fraction of the whole; you will need all parts to know where the hostage is being moved to and when.

In numerus, silentium.

Does this mean Five will only have a "fraction of the whole". So even when we get this information from Five we will miss other parts. The question is could we contact other cells?


We could try and spam the chain, ie. numerologicafour, numerologicathree, etc, but should probably wait till we get ingrained with Five. He'll point the way.

And if not, someone load up a mail spammer! Razz

 		find out how many cells there are then replace the 'five' in the email address with other numbers I guess.

This may be a stretch, but what if the answers themselves are the number? For example, "venti" means 20 in Italian.... "knee" could be "ni," Japanese for 2... "act" may be "acht," German for 8?

I don't know what the "unease" one would be, but this would at least give us:

Act = Acht = 8
taken away from
Venti = 20
20-8 = 12?

That's some pretty cool thinking. I'll wait for everyone's agreement before trying the answer.

 		THX, jessie1326. All morning had been playing with unease being "fear" as it sounds the same as "vier"(four) in Dutch and German but was clueless about "knee" being 2 in Japanese.

So, it's sent and I'll post any reply from Five asap so SA gets the result. Also, another Numerologica blog update

Ah, a typical banter between two of the numeric elite. No matter. We are submitting our candidacy for the mission - disseminate the information as you see fit by the end of the week.

Ah, brilliant - fear/vier makes perfect sense. Let's just hope the method is right this time. Smile

Should more of us "apply" to Five to get more information? Or are two lines of communication enough to manage that we should try to keep it simple?

 		Just imo: when the identity test is solved everyone who finds it Cool should give it a go.

Eleven,

Congratulations, I was beginning to wonder...

Anyway, you have proved yourself to me.

Will you be submitting your candidacy for the mission?

 		Justy FYI - Five is only picking.... five people for the mission.

I suggest emailed the response by the end of the week if you want inclusion.
