(Q - ??: I am still at the very beginning of the hunt, so a very simple question, I am still at the very beginning of the hunt so I am a little regularly stunned or in
in any case embittered by the questions that are asked regularly about the super solution, about the cache, all of that is stuff that is still a little beyond me, but in this case there is an enigma that questions me a lot.
It is the 580. Max Valentin said that it had surprised him that few people or in any case that it had not fascinated researchers as much as other enigmas. I wanted to know the 580, with the ones.
10 cities that pose a problem, these cursed 10 cities, of which no one really knows what to do with them, so a very simple question, do you agree with this assertion from Max Valentin and why in your opinion
, if you have an idea, this enigma has remained a little outside the concerns of researchers, whereas in this case it seems to me that it is a fairly important obstacle?)
MB : yeah I can't really answer that, but it's indeed a riddle which is a bit complex, it's not one of the simplest ones that's for sure, so that's perhaps the reason why that the famous ten cities, well perhaps no one has yet figured out how to use them I don't know, but it doesn't seem to me that there are any particular things to say about them, it doesn't stand out particularly gaming.
Afterwards, when Max Valentin said that it was the one who preferred… I also read from him that he would prefer one or two others, it depends on the moment.
(Q - ??: because in fact he didn't say that it was his favorite but in any case, that it was one of the enigmas where we didn't want to ask all the possible questions and that he could have let go a little more, and I was quite surprised when, in a recent conference, you spoke in particular of the fact that the map could be used with tools, compasses, squares, I do not know what graduated ruler, it seems to me the 580 to be a necessary place, so I am obviously not asking you to confirm that it is necessary to use the compass or whatever on this enigma is there, but in any case, is this what it is , you also find that perhaps in his answers even if I imagine that you have not read all of them from Max Valentin on the question, do you think that indeed, there would be things to let go of on the question ?)
MB : so this is the eternal problem that I am increasingly confronted with, is that in Max Valentin's answers, there are many many answers which are there to tease, and also a little bit to excite the player a little, and when he says things like that, I'm not sure he could have said much more about this enigma.
I have no visibility at all at that level, these are comments that belong to him, but I think that in the comments that he was able to make in general on the enigmas, we must be very circumspect, he remained as he was, I mean he was still a salesman, he was a guy whose job was to sell, to write texts to sell, to tease people, to encourage people to buy products,… so even when he talked about his puzzles or his hunt there was this little side.
I will say that it's a riddle that's quite complex, there's a bit of work to be done on it, but hey I don't think he could have said much more, I don't think so, no.
(Q - ??: good evening, I just wanted to give my view on the previous question, I am not asking Mr Becker to refute it or anything, I think there is a double issue, even a triple use of cities, the first being given by the code with therefore the kind of decryption with the numbers, the correspondence with the figures, I also think that there is a geographical use therefore by their arrangement, the fact that there are some which are remarkable, so big cities all that, and others which are very small towns on the map, in my opinion this is not trivial, it is that their arrangement on the map is important, so there is something graphic to do with it and on the other hand I also think that there is another use, in a more literary sense, here with the words in question of cities but that well this is my little vision to follow up on the previous question.)
(Q - ??: to tell you everything in fact on this question of the geographical layout of the towns, that I approached the hunt in fact by looking at Max's other hunts, telling myself that perhaps there would be clues to be found in the other hunts, in any case on the methods, so that we can understand how Max worked and in I don't remember which hunt, there was this arrangement of towns with a star to trace and I always said that in the 580, there could have been a similar principle so obviously I admit that I am proceeding a little by trial and error, this is where I asked this question in particular, in any case I am making this remark about the use of the compass , I tried to use the compass to draw concentric circles, to see if they intersect and obviously, there is not much at that level, so afterwards I saw clearly the other theories, the F line,… but I find that this enigma is so hermetic that not much comes out of it. I obviously understand things on the symbolic aspect, on the literary aspect, the good path, Max who said that there, in the titles the use of paths or good ones was intended, well very good but I still find that it remains extremely hermetic this use of 10 cities which is very mysterious, I see there, I still have the impression that something is missing…
(Q - ?? it’s the enigma that lacks air…)
(Q - ??: yes, yes, it's a bit like that in fact, I have the impression that for example, on the 600 with the black ship perched, there are so many tracks, we were talking about the track Niepce recently, who took a bit of a stray bullet, but hey it can happen, but there is so much abundance on the other enigmas but so nothing on this one, that's why this question asks Did Max give up on this? It's like there's an atrophy in this enigma, and that there weren't really all the solutions. which were broadcast, as Michel Becker said, that 90% of the puzzles had been solved, I don't have the impression that this is the case for the 580, but I might be wrong.)
(Q - ??: I think you're right as there is something, there is already a first decryption with the meaning the misinterpretation the musical notes the thing which has been found by almost everyone, see everyone and which in my opinion, what is on the net also helped people to validate we will say this solution as being the final solution of the enigma, but in fact I actually think as you say that there is something else to find, and people have hidden me first, probably, we have hidden that. I have blocked hundreds of hours on ships, things, black ships perched towards the sea. end of the game whereas I've been there for some time now, you see, I'm rather going back to the root, but I think it's pretty good to go back to the slightly fresh ideas, not to let yourself be too absorbed by what we hear, what we listen to, because otherwise we will never get out of it. There are two puzzles that need the previous one to be solved, the 580 and the 470 seem to be very good clients for that or 580. /600 whatever…)
(Q - ??: so I have my ready-made idea of ??these two enigmas, so I'll tell you what I think about them, so I don't have the numbers in mind, but for me they are clearly the two with obligatory passage keys, these are actually the ones with the correspondences of the cities with numbers since it helps the next one to decipher the periodic table, the inscription of a key in here is the black ship perched and the Well another thing for now, I think it's the one with the line not to regret because we start immediately in the next one with "there", and the "there" if you don't have it, you're screwed. That's my opinion after all.
