(Q - CatsEyes: I have a question regarding the visuals precisely. I had a version of the 560, where it was indicated that the pencil splits the sea from the bottom of the
page on the right towards the top and in the end we realize that on the current version it is not at all the same meaning etc. And I don't know if we have a history of why this change?)<
/u>
MB: I have no history of why this change. This is a change that was made, requested by Max Valentin. Well, he didn't change with me and he changed it in his versions but the version that was given to me is this one, the one that I painted after why did he do it?
So it's the same, we often discussed the differences between the versions. What I believe is that, at least that's what Max told me when we were discussing it, what he also said to the sponsors at the time, he talked to us about it . He said: “I’m going to have to change things a little bit, make things a little more complex.”
So on the one hand when he spoke to us, maybe... because he wasn't a choirboy when it came to communication either, maybe he was telling us that in a way and that 'he did something else, that his idea was not necessarily to make it more complex but perhaps to simplify, ultimately it's possible.
Then, I realize that it was really his own logic, which made him think that by changing this or that detail or orientation of the line or whatever, that by making this or that change, it consisted in a complexity of the enigma or an even simplification, it's possible eh, I don't know, but in any case it would change the level of difficulty of the enigma. Frankly, knowing the solutions, I don't think it makes much difference to the difficulty of the puzzle. That for me..., it's a bit good there, he made small changes, but I don't have the impression that it has such a significant impact.
