[color:"a0a0ff"]GETTING SOMEWHERE IN NOWHERE
.... 13, 21, 20, 1, 2, 1, 18. Wow, a quiz, a riddle <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/exclamation.gif" alt="" /> I love puzzles,hm, what could this sequence mean?.
Experiment number 1: Squashing down the surrounding mushrooms. Result: Nothing.
Experiment number 2: Pressing them gently in sequence order. Result: Nothing.
Experiment number 3: Pressing them harder in opposite order. Result: Nothing.
Hours later
The mushrooms lay totally squashed, illtreated and destroyed all over the place. Wolfy and BeeGee had taken up a safe distance and eyed me fearfully, I lay panting on the ground, trying to catch my breath from the last fit.
Think, Kiya, think!
"Hey, stop distracting me, BeeGee,"
he was playing with a little stick on a sandy spot and amused himself by drawing lines. Humming a little tune, he seemed to draw an [color:"red"]"A"[/color].
"Now that's the right time to improve your education," I grumbled. The little chap beamed at me and set the number [color:"red"]"1"[/color] next to his lopsided [color:"red"]"A"[/color].
"Yeah, I know BeeGee, I know... A is the first, B is the second, C the... HEY! you've got it Lieutenant!"
I jumped up - a thought hit me like lightning: 1 = A, 2 = B, 13 = M... The word was... using all my toes and fingers... [color:"red"] M-U-T-A-B-A-R! [/color]
"Now, we're getting somewhere: MUTABAR!"
I yelled it out - nothing. I ran all over our little world, singing, whispering, humming the word - all was in vain - nothing.
"KIYA! Have you gone absolutely crazy by now? What do you think you're doing?" Polgara appeared out of the blue and looked at me sternly.
"Oh, meeee? Nothing, just nothing... errrhm, Polgara, do you know the meaning of the word MUTABAR? It rings a bell, but I can't pin it down!"
NERO, if MUTABAR is a word to destroy your beloved Tetsu-whatever... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />[/color]
