I just wanted to post this here too in case someone finds it useful. I don't think NOBLE TRUTHS is the correct path from the sound of my conversation with the SP.

So it looks like people have told her both NOBLE TRUTH and FAITHFUL APOSTLES, and have ended up with the Princess screaming. So by brute force, we have our answer: DEADLY SINS.

By the by, I think counting the # of faithful apostles may be barking up the wrong tree, especially considering that it was the wrong path.

Also, it's possible that once she takes a "correct" path, she does not go backwards. This would make it a bit easier to progress without knowing the entire sequence at once.

Also we may be able to question Melissa about the code she used. One person said she specifically mentioned encrypting the rogue process with a code. Perhaps that's a clue to ask her about it. If she doesn't want to reveal it, just tell her that someone else should know in case she loses her memory again.

Googling around with "4 7 11" led me to This http://www.le.state.ut.us/~code/TITLE04/htm/04_0B008.htm

plenty of other sites came up as well, but seemed to be in the middle of data fields or date codes. the duties of the county bee inspector seemed Very applicable Smile

Ok, I set up a fireflies wiki page here which summaries this week's puzzle as far as I can tell from the forums so far... am I missing anything at this point?

Pride is the worst of the sins becuase it's the one that is directly challenging G-D. It was Lucifer's sin.

My guess is that the "11 apostles" is more of a reference to Judas than it is to the other faithful. They're always referred to as the twelve becuase of the replacement later. That's assuming, of course, we're being biblical.

No, I haven't posted b4. I'm a lurker of longstanding.

It seems people are really over-thinking this puzzle now.

SP had three paths to choose from. Two of the paths made her scream and hang up, the third... we don't know yet.

Even if you doubted the relevance of there being Seven Deadly Sins, we can all agree on the process of elimination, right?
