anagramming the caption yields so many cities in subject state. A couple stand out that look interesting. You mentioned that the map pages with 8 states becomes very important. Is this related to the city-state itself or as a means to identifying another state or perhaps significant historical event?
GL - THat gives me something to think about. It has been very many years since I learned geography - nothing is coming to me yet other than the 5 points of geography (location, movement, etc) but I think this came more recent. Let me chew on it for a bit.
My son used to sing the states and capitals as a song to aid in memorization of all of them. Other than this, I cannot think of how we learned about geomoetry back then ( I must be getting old).
Going back through the posts, It sounds like someone claimed to have been in contact with the author about 3-4 years back, but nothing more was followed up on.
Found the constellation made up of cities.
I think I see head, feed , hands, ----but waist? I think I lost you on that one...unless you mean like beginning-middle-end, or top, middle, bottom.
Hi Steve, Years ago they taught remembering the placement of lat. and long. for the north pole-top of head, equator was the waist, and south pole the feet. Use the center of the US (lat and long) and place the states.
Goatlady, we'd love to hear what you've come up with! However, the way you are explaining it now is confusing me. Instead of giving the answer, you're hinting at it hoping we'll figure it out for ourselves. On hunts like The Golden Apple Tale, or The Secret, we Twelevers don't really care who finds these lost treasure, as long as they're found. It would be much appreciated if you would post your answers, so that everyone could collaborate and quite possibly, unearth this thing!
Figuring it out IS the main point. Contrary to what you have posted, I would be willing to bet that the majority of Twelevers DO NOT WANT the simple answers plopped in front of them. Goatlady has been gracious enough to give us some crumbs to nibble on and to think for ourselves, to figure this out. Since this hunt is so long in the tooth, no one really expects the prize to still be there, so how to solve is the only thing left and the pleasure is in trying to understand the mind of the puzzle master.
Goatlady - I appreciate what you have given us so far, let us think about what you have said before outlining the entire approach. I for one have enjoyed our sessions.
If you're still reading, is there a significance to the word 'angles' in the answer you found?
