(Q - ??: can we trust what is written in the book?)
MB : Of course the puzzles...it's very good. Now when Max Valentin has re-edited, with stuff, the letter from a researcher to Max Valentin, that Max Valentin has done this, that,...we are in the commercial sector that sells its sauce. If we talk about the texts of the book, the riddles there are no problems, you have to go there. Now all the additions he made in later editions, there's not much to find. He even thinks that in some additional indications, the small additional indications he has made. The Additional Indications that MB illustrated correlate with the enigmas no problem, the Additional Indications of the TDF are not major but are interesting and they are the only ones that allow precise indications on the routes and are all the more reliable as they are at the start of the hunt where he has not done anything misleading in the Additional Information. Now, all those that he produced piecemeal, once with the intonation of his voice, once by playing with words, it is not sure that this has a very great importance in the game (more for the journalist and for the players).
He thinks that the riddles can be found without the curses, sincerely...he has read a few thousand of them (even so!) and doesn't see any major elements that can significantly help the resolution of the riddles...
