(Q: Max Valentin started with pile-pile, can it help to do it backwards?)
MB : no absolutely not.
It's one of my hobby, the meaning of terms, what each term means and what it can mean. Max Valentin worked a lot on the vocabulary, he chose the words to both establish, complete, clarify the meaning of his enigmas and at the same time to drown the reader by using vocabulary which can quite easily evoke something else and take him on to other things. And returns to his assertion that Max Valentin never developed the slightest false lead. not one constructed, on the other hand Max Valentin did a lot of literary work, he chose these words, he looked for references, he really worked a lot on the literary side to engage the reader's mind and potentially be able to take him on board in quite different directions, in fact from what the puzzles should lead to. This is the work that Max Valentin did, that's what it is and that's why he thinks today that the more we talk about it, the more he says and repeats that he was a literary man and more those who want to find and who are going to dig a little bit into the vocabulary part, that's interesting but we're talking about riddles.
