(Q - ??: he would like to know, is the one who will locate the cache on the map, can we consider him to be a genius?)
MB : when he talks about Max Valentin, I can't easily say that he had genius, but he had a lot of tricks. When we talk about genius there is something that is created, an innovation, there, in this mechanism, certainly he found "the system", but it is in line with the character, it was a a great opportunist, he is well convinced of it, he was a real peddler, a verve, a cheekiness, a finesse for detecting people's reactions, capturing them, exploiting them. He may not have been a great marketing specialist, but in any case he was smart, he knew how to sell well. This extremely astute form of mind allowed him to carry out this hunt.
(Q - ??: a group of 15 year olds can't find the owl?)
MB : curiously he asked himself the question and why not in fact. Today they have a way of compiling the information that we can get on the Internet. When we go to teenagers who have this practice much more and earlier than us, they manage to hit at a sometimes impressive speed. Ultimately on something like that he doesn't exclude it but it's certainly an average 15 year old kid who can find that.
(Q - ??: you need method, work and luck, there are so many avenues to explore, if you don't have the right method to return, take the right paths , try again. he thinks that there are several puzzles, we don't have all the elements so we have to see things differently, another method of decryption)
MB : yes of course, exactly.
(Q: 15 year old teenager in 1993 could he find it without internet?)
MB : no, frankly, he thinks it was a little excessive. Not that the Internet is a panacea, but those of us now have access to lots of information and the mentality has changed.
