(Q - ??: I have two quick questions about the specifications, the first, is it possible that Max Valentin, finally Régis Hauser, asked you to draw things
of which there was not necessarily any use for solving puzzles, for hunting?)
MB : but I have no way of knowing, my dear, the specifications as I published them, these are the elements that I had, after the elements that were requested of me in this specifications charges, whether they have any use in the puzzles or not, it would be inappropriate for me to answer that. I did exactly what he asked of me, in an absolutely rigorous manner but, I repeat, obviously my imagination created a setting around all that.
(Q - ??: ok thank you and the second question, it was on the specifications, small symbols which are drawn under the names of the planets, are these symbols drawn by hand , I think you may have already said it but I'm not sure...)
MB : yes it was me who did that, it was the little sketches I had made, I was in my workshop, I had my sheets, I looked at my Larousse and in the Larousse I found the symbols of the planets, I copied them out and said to myself, well there you go, that way you know what you need to draw.
