Mega THX. That is sweet to read! Did you guys send Winter a symbol? Got an email reply after sending her a water symbol.

Winter in my email wrote:
Water is one of the four ancient elements which play a role in the process of alchemy, a process which consists of four stages: the blackening, the whitening, the yellowing, and the reddening.

The first stage, the blackening, involves complete and utter destruction, reducing a substance to ashes.

Sometimes metaphors are more real than the objects they define.

All of my love always, Winter

I sent in air, and attempted the applications page again. I know it is much simpler than I am trying to make, but the simple answers are usually harder for me to find. For the first time I am doubtful that I'll make it in lol

Since a few days have passed since the original request to not share and since this forum is OOG and I want to make sure we are all playing together:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

The quote is from meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Leading to:

Bravo Russell Rock On I, also, want to play together with this whole group and 'not-sharing' sucks lemons.

Now, if anyone wants to keep plugging away at it for awhile, just work it like any usual ARG solve and remember...

You are not alone with being stuck, Happy. I finally got it once the magister said "You are loved" Laughing

New area on the pergamum project site although it leads to a 404 at the moment.

http://www.pergamumproject.com/card-catalog.html

Interestingly or perhaps not lol 404 on the dewey decimal system is:

Quote:
Special topics of language


I had been wondering the meaning of the puzzle in the library:

Challenge #1
You must fill the shelves
to turn your world upside down.
How many?
Ask a superior
highly composite number.​

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I am not sure who message the magister with the answer of 12 but I guess the solution was that 12 is both the reverse of the world tarot card number and is also a superior highly composite number Smile

After suggesting the book "Maps of the Soul" the Magister in an email wrote:
You strike me as someone with a lot of books.

Don't try building the pyramid from the top down


The Magister tweeted that all who've applied have their 'library cards' now so happy hunting all and....

can y'all post your book replies from the Magister b/c "You never know where big ideas can come from." ** Channeling 'Working Girl'--one of my fav films** Thanks.

ETA: have now submitted 'Book of the Dead"

For completeness the puzzle we are discussing is in the card catalogue.

Quote:

(an image of 13 blank boxes)
13
translation

puzzled theme:

Native to Africa
Temptation
Again


Since it was 13 characters I was not sure if we were working on the book name or the isbn.

EDIT** Good guess Amandel but why "Temptation"?
