(Q - Lartiste: Ok, so that means that at the time, with a second map, a few photos, and then perhaps with some indications that we found in certain books, we arrived
with us to have the final solution with the exact point, is that it?)
MB: Yes, even without a second card. And today, certainly, we no longer need a second card at all. If you do your job well on the first 9 puzzles, honestly, from the tenth, you really don't need any cards.
(Q - Lartiste: Yeah, because it's true that the second card is a bit of a belt and suspenders, as you say, to say, OK, well, well, I'm coming really at this point But afterward, it's true that if we create our final zone a little, normally, we don't really, really have any use.)
MB: We can be even clearer. Today, we say it, we all know it. With the Internet, we have access to almost any information in the world. Okay, very good. In 1993, this was not the case. There was no Internet. It was the very beginnings of the Internet. And what's more, at the time the hunt was designed by Max, there was no Internet at all. So it was absolutely not possible at that time that the Internet would be useful.
And he started his hunt by saying we need a map of France. He never talked about a second card. He talked about it afterwards. For what?? Because in the course of the game, like me, I realize by discussing with the owls that I have to evolve my words, that I have to adapt to their understanding if I want us to have a useful dialogue. He also certainly understood things in his exchanges through Minitel at the time.
At one point he said yes, yes, of course you need a second card.
At one point he said there was a twelfth riddle, etc. and many other things. So, each time he adapted his remarks to put himself within reach of the players, of his own case, without taking care of what he was introducing into new notions. There, I make a little allusion to the twelfth riddle, for example. False notions and more conducive to confusion than to clarity or clarification. But regarding the card, at one point he said yes, of course you need a second card. I say no, it is absolutely not essential and I will prove it when the time comes. The day the owl is found, it will be obvious that the second card was not at all essential. And today, it is even less, it has even less utility than it could have had in 1993.
