Is it OK if I don't "spoiler" what's just an early morning guess? Am thinking: tornado or hurricane.


I was thinking that too: The eye of the storm. Giving it a go.

 		I don't think there is any harm in guessing right? he never said anything about guessing and getting it wrong.

 		Ok, so romrapaara on twitter got to choose soap or clothes and chose soap. Sounds fair. Smile And I will get a special choice in the future, because he got the wrong person. Wink

So far, so good.

 		Grace as a new riddle, and I'm stumped. Here.

Quote:
Precious secrets fear boldness. Hear silence beam -- hold, sit beneath Mnemosyne. Milligrams prevent peering names, captured persons, caves of blood. Killing cats, however, arrives knowledge.



Mnemosyne is were we get mnemonic, but I can't get a good one from it. Also, the clue(?) is a picture of a table with spots on it. Clue?

 		Coffee As these are cryptic clues maybe that "doodle" is meant to represent the periodic table? Agree the phrases look like mnemonics tho Sad they're NOT the one for the elements or the anatomical ones I learned way back when.

For some reason, the last bit (bolded up above) makes me think of 'Curiosity killed the cat'. That's all I can come up with, currently, when there's too much blood in my caffiene system.

 		The above was me, forgot to login after registering.

Also, on the Jester's Twitter:

R2: (Four Days): (6.4)(7.9)(2.5) The answer is Not a Number.

I got nothin'. A part of me is thinking that there's either information missing... or the Jester is hiding the answer in plain sight, and the answer, literally, is 'Not a Number'.

I don't know why, but the first thing that comes to mind is earthquake magnitudes.

You know, that makes perfect sense; if the riddles are meant to be connected. Earthquakes, storms...

 		There is a math term for attaining an equation answer that is labeled as 'Not a Number' but I dunno much about it.... maybe he could be referring to something like that?

 		I find it weird that he wrote "Not a Number" with capital letters. O.o

Edit: Ah, must be because he's talking about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaN , which has been mentioned already.

Also, 9 dots are drawn on the table picture. It might matter. And there are 9 grammatical.. things, in the text. (Lack of english vocabulary.). Commas etc. Razz

So I'm guessing we sort of divide the text into 10 different words or something like that. O.o Just a hunch.

 		Mnemosyne was also in the "clue". She had 9 children by the greek god Zeus. Just a connection I found right now

Yup, the Muses. And in the Underworld, the dead would choose to drink from either the River Lethe (to forget the past life and be reborn) or the Spring of Mnemosyne (to remember and move on to the Eylsian Fields).

When the Old L.A. Zoo was being closed down in the 1960s, there was debate over whether to move it. One proposed location was Elysian Park.

Also, during WWI, the zoo had to feed horse meat to the great cats, and nearly all of them died.
