(Q - nlc: a trigger by definition, it turns out, as you said the other day, it's "damn but it's of course" so we start from
a moment of blur and suddenly bam we have a revelation, so having some blur before the trigger is normal?)
MB : yes, I will tell you, I repeat this comment on the madits, in the madits there are some who are anti Super Solution, who eliminate any possibility, if someone takes them literally, that eliminates all possibility of finding the Super Solution. These are things, these are writings that should not have been.
We know that Max has from time to time passed the baton to someone else to answer for him. Personally I think it was his collaborator Phil d'Euck but I have no proof, it's my idea, it's just me, but in any case there is someone else who answered for him at certain times, and in what I read, I am certain of it because there are times when I read things, I say to myself it's impossible. I still knew Max Valentin quite well and it’s impossible that it says that.
So it was obviously someone else who wrote it and his technique behind it was to make up for it by saying yes well yes I may have said that but I don't remember and we put certain things into perspective stuff and in all this mass of curses there are things that are anti-super solution. And that's why I tell myself at a given moment I have to intervene.
(Q - nlc: the super solution, a priori was never discussed in the madits, nor in the a priori answers...)
MB : but it's much more perverse than that, you're talking about someone who was a communications specialist, so when he used terms, they knew exactly the scope of the terms he used and he knew very well what idea he was going to create or extinguish in the mind of his interlocutor, that I can assure you, he knew very well what he was doing.
There are times, there are things that have been written that are quite capable of defeating the player who was not necessarily far from the thing and who suddenly says, well no I must be wrong, it's not possible, I read that.
(Q - nlc: are there players who specifically asked about the super solution? I don't remember that...)
MB : no I'm not telling you specifically about the Super Solution, the Super Solution still remains linked to the rest of the puzzles, I never denied it, I said there are no remainders but there is there is a logic which means that the Super Solution, when we tackle it, we call upon notions in our head that we have defined during the resolution of the puzzles, there are elements that we has in his head like vocabulary items.
When you speak English, there are English words that you know, there are some that you don't know and you manage to express yourself if you don't know the right word, you find a synonym.
That's what riddles are, it's a kind of vocabulary, a few elements that you will have in mind when solving the super solution, you will synthesize all that in your head but there are no leftovers such as they have been defined, I maintain it.
However, there are still links and from the moment Max Valentin answered certain riddles, he gave certain answers that I was able to read, I haven't read everything yet, I'm still discovering more every day , actually more or less, it annihilated a certain ability of the player to hit precisely to have this trigger.
His answers were a bit, well... annihilating, we no longer dared to go into it too much, because hey, if he said that it was because... and there you have it, I clearly saw all these deviations, these are abuses of language practiced by someone who got involved in the game himself, who found himself in a role where somewhere, he manipulated the players a little and then there you go, a little much at times .
(Q - nlc: here it was really to probably distract the player from the great solution, in this case, it was to prolong the pleasure because it was.. .)
MB : it was to say without saying it, when you play neither yes nor no, there is necessarily a moment when you start to speak in a way that is not your usual way of expressing yourself and that's was his case, from the moment he was constantly in the hot seat, as you try to put me back there every 5 minutes, obviously we don't speak the same, we choose our words, we look for things, we try to drown the fish, we feel that the guy is touching something but we don't want to encourage him too much, depending on the way we respond we palm him or we are neutral or we help him.
It's the 3 possibilities, either we help him or we are neutral or we target him and he often chose the way of beating people.
I see it, at least that's what I see about the madits.
(Q - YnkaOne: for example, if I ask you have you ever tried to throw an object vertically on your person, have you ever tried that? have you ever tried to put a bow shot vertically on your own?)
MB : to take the arrow to my face? When it falls, it falls on me, we agree.
(Q - YnkaOne: there are some who disagree with me Michel)
(Q - ??: the earth rotates...)
MB : [laughs] I shoot faster than that, the earth doesn't have time to turn before I catch the arrow in the face... No, but seriously, where are you going with this example, tell me?
(Q - YnkaOne: no, no, it was to illustrate and see what you were going to answer me)
MB : the only thing that I can confirm to you, but in an absolutely insistent, heavy-handed, formal and repetitive way, is that in the madits there is a lot of bullshit, you must not go there, you must not go there ! They should not be taken as gospel.
We are very far from it, we are very, very far from it. Behind the madits, there is a whole mechanism of business, of intention, of timing, which means that at times, the wishes were not the same on the part of Max, he did not have the same vision things, he didn't have the same desire or the same objective and therefore I tell you all this must be eliminated, I will never repeat it enough.
We are in a hunt which does not need that, all this murky environment, which certainly brings it density, it made it last, it brought a lot of elements, it created a whole myth around hunting and at the same time it is totally misleading.
