(Q - Ed: My question, in a simpler way, the first nine, do you have to have solved them all or can you stumble upon them…)
MB: The first 9 remain a difficult message for me to convey. The first 9 are very simple. They are very basic and very few people are willing to admit it. So many are racking their brains way beyond what is necessary. That, I said it, I’ll say it again, I maintain it.
So it is indeed important all the same, in any case, for those who achieve nothing at all in the area that they believe to be the right one, it is important to be able to resume this journey. It doesn't take weeks either, because there are many things that today are, I was going to say, known, that some people know by heart. I think that today, there is a way to resume the journey of the 9 enigmas, for those who consider that they are not in the right place, to do it again without spending weeks and to try to regain certainty .
And each time, the principle is to say to ourselves, well, let's keep it simple and try to put ourselves in the head of Max, therefore of someone who had done surprise rallies, but who was not a great puzzle designer. He had absolutely no experience with this, nor did he particularly have the form of mind to do this. So, he threw himself into this, we must not lose sight of that, as a complete novice.
Then, I was asked about this journey if it was continuous. It is not completely. Logically, it is coherent, we start from somewhere and arrive elsewhere. That's the broad outline. There was a moment when I actually saw this term, it's the first time I used it, but I'm going to use it so that everyone understands. There is a moment when you can actually teleport and try to reason in this way.
But overall, the route is logical and coherent.
(Q - Ed: It's continuous, okay. So, we don't need all the good resolutions of the first 9 to get to the right zone...)< /u>
MB: No, there are times, so there you go, that's a very sensitive subject in which I can't intervene much more, but Max's talent was not a talent as a designer of riddles, but a talent, I'm starting to have scruples about saying that because every time, I get a volley of green wood, but he had a talent as a peddler, that is to say he knew how to sell his product, he knew how to praise the product. And to praise a product, you have to surround it with all kinds of virtues that it doesn't really have, but that you give it to encourage the buyer to buy.
And there, in the wordings of the enigmas, there is still some of the texts. They are there to embellish, to make the thing sound a little, to give the impression that... And him, his great concern, so there , that's where it's interesting to be interested in his character, it was still to give himself all out, he wanted to convince a sponsor, all out, this time, of a great designer of riddles, from someone who had come up with something remarkable. So he knew how to sell it very well.
I know, I was there when he did it with the sponsor, so I know how he sold his stuff. And he made it all sound. This is why I often take the example of the advertisements that we see today. 30 or 40 or 50 years ago, when you saw a car, it was a tiger in the engine and the more the guy made vroom, vroom, the more virile he was. And today, when we want to sell a car, it's because it doesn't make any noise, it's electric, the children are good and mom is happy and dad drives with a blissful smile, This is what advertisers do today for cars.
It's the same for Max, he embellished his product, he embellished his puzzles which were very basic, which are very basic, he embellished them to make you want to, to give them a halo of mystery, to make you think that it was something something very mysterious, that we were going to discover there or enter a parallel world, that it was something extraordinary.
And actually, it's much simpler than that.
