THE HINTS- VITAL TO SUCCESS

[fundamental design]

I don't think I have to find or show a quote that says there's a hint in the poem. Just using reasoning. F says little Indy can figure out wwwh with just the poem and a map of the Rockies. I believe that it's the poem that tells her that and I think the solution goes from top to bottom. I guess you feel that the rest of the sentence after wwwh tells you which wwwh we are looking for and you use the map of the Rockies. I'm ok with where I am.

Well what you call reasoning others call opinion or just a guess, would that mean your just doing the same that you accused itchy of? Your the one trying to build a case for there to be "vital hints" which I have seen no evidence of, when one is trying to build a case the use evidence. But there is evidence that shows only the poem is needed with no evidence that there is a "vital hint" in the poem, anyways if there is a "vital hint" in the poem would it be called a clue? Well here some evidence that the poem holds clues and the book holds hints, and the poem is all you need.

The clues are in the poem and my book has hints that will help a person with the clues. The book won’t take you to the treasure chest, but the book will help you with the clues that are in the poem.

The treasure will be found by someone who followed the clues to the location. To me, that is the only plausible recipe.

I knew from the beginning where to hide the treasure. It wasn’t until later that the clues were provided to find that spot. I don’t know “…that the poem will lead someone there,” as you asked, but the poem does provide everyone with that opportunity.

The clues can lead you to the treasure, and it will be there waiting when you arrive.

I could go on and on with quotes that say only the "clues" are needed, without solid reasoning that there are "vital hints" its just your opinion.

Good, maybe you'll be the one to answer my question upstream to NMeans which he/she convieniently dodged. It's still an open question for all on your side of the coin....

And I'll stick with reasoning.

I'm sure there were a few searchers using reason that had figured out that wwwh was the correct first clue before they heard f confirm that. Like I've said, could be the same for the words 'hint' and 'cease'.
