I think this is how we were supposed to arrive at the answer. I don't think it's "upon" though perhaps that's a cool secondary conenction.

41 prepositions leads to: AI pre-position

In other words, what was the AI before her current position, or what was the Queen before she was a Queen?

So I think the answer is a word or words for what she was before a Queen.


Looking back at my history, I actually tried "pawn" last night, but I didn't try "a_pawn". WTG, usernameguy!

Looks like we're all pawns in this game.
Excellent job usernameguy.

I just wonder exactly how we were supposed to get upon from that list of preposition because I think sounds like was only related to upon, not too AI pre-positions. Then again who really cares.

UPON is a preposition, but it wasn't on the list. A classic. (Somewhere out there, there's probably a web site with a list of exactly 42 prepositions -- UPON plus the 41 we got from langshivel.jpg.)

How were we supposed to get 'upon' from the list of prepositions? Evil or Very Mad
Still.. 'a pawn'.. muaha.. excellent solve! Very Happy

Talking of which.. can we get a [solved] tag in the topic?
