Beat you to it, I'm afraid...you're right, though

I sent in my answer and got this in reply:

Ask him the of the importance of the lottery?

Great job guys. My Google skills are lacking.

[inkflamewriter]

Actually, I didn't even use Google...I just noticed the Wonka bars and thought "Well, why not?"

But anyway, I have a bit to decide on what to do. The lottery is a great thing to ask about, so I'll definitely put that one on the list. If anyone can think of anything else that we'd want to ask about, please, please let me know. I want to make this count...

I'm not exactly sure what is going on terms of whether Forest's fate has been resolved yet. I was under the impression that the issue was more of Forest's existence (due to energy) even though Father had created. Even if Father is out of the picture, wouldn't Forest's existence still be an issue?

I chat with the Watchman from time to time. The most recent one was the friendliest by far. Here is what still needs to be done:

Another thing to think about in terms of the energy is how the Green had described it as exponentially increasing. Was the energy drain also described as having no limit?

If there is no limit, then could it be possible that the act of taking the energy also be used to refill (for lack of a better word) the energy taken? (Think cyclical)

If there is a limit, then could it be possible to find an energy source that can be sustained somewhere above that limit (so that it won't be depleted)?

[punxtr]

The drain is exponential as well, that much he revealed to me. Perhaps the answer is more scholarly, though.

About the lottery(As I understand it.):

The lottery is an incentive,a game, organized by Father. We solve the challenges put forth by him, through Forest, and we earn tickets. The winner gains the prize, a painting.

I think we should ask about the current puzzle that the Green has given us. Perhaps ask a question related to the green countries shown?

[inkflamewriter]

That makes sense. I went back through the *entire* thread here, looking for things that never got answered. Here's a list of our loose ends. Please feel free to look back and add anything that I've missed...

Three things given to us at various points that were never explained, but seem to be connected:

[Lystella]

The Watchman mentioned being clever in another puzzle. Could the cleverness still apply to the one question we may ask? If so, to what extent could we try to be clever?

[inkflamewriter]

Perhaps asking a question that gets us multiple answers? My biggest issue is knowing what we need to find out...

Also, just realized this, if it helps any:

[inkflamewriter]

Apologies to all for the delay in posting...just wanted to let you all know that I've answered The Watchman. I'll post any information I get as soon as I can.
