(Q - Apollo: and there is no 12 enigma?)
MB : no there is the 11th, at the end of the 11th enigma normally you are there and you dig and you find the countermark.
(Q - Apollo: very good because there are others who insist that there is a 12th, but there is no 12th, well that's good , please specify)
MB : it is written, from the first publications, it is written there are 11 riddles which allow you to... there, there are no written 12 riddles, there have never been written 12 riddles, it came after the notion of... it's once again the concept of the 12th enigma and in fact this 12th enigma, what we call the super solution, it's an element that we must come out with the outcome of the resolution of the 11th, but this is not in itself an additional enigma, it is a consequence of what precedes.
(Q - Apollo: the super solution applies to the 11th)
MB : you have to find, what are we going to call it, the trick, you have to have the trigger, the trick that allows you to understand what is to be done and how we define the pile-up, but that's at the end of the 11th, there is no after, there is no additional encryption, additional encryption of a 12th enigma, I do not see a 12th enigma.
And I assure you that if we come back, as the purists want to do, even see the fundamentalists go back to the fundamentals, well ok we go back to the fundamentals, so in the 1st edition, there was never any question of the 12th enigma , so why after all of a sudden we add more, we add more...there you go.
