THE HINTS- VITAL TO SUCCESS

[Top Secret]

But if we cannot, with any level of certainty, identify what those hints are within the 28,000 +/- words in the book, how can we even then understand how they are the supposed to"help" us? (that's a rhetorical question) I mean has Forrest not told us that we cannot know that we have the first clue correct until we have the treasure, then is it not fair to infer that we then cannot know with any certainty what those subtle hints are within the book prior to discovering the chest?

Anyone who thinks this way or believes in this line of thinking, has a defeatist attitude and will NOT succeed at Fenn's challenge. This is very flawed logic. You look at Fenn's words too simplistically and have not thought hard enough to understand his intent. There are many things you have not considered which clearly explains Fenn's statement. If one bases the foundation of their solve upon this logic, then they may find cracks in that foundation.

I recommend that you go back and think a little, well a lot harder and longer. It may then come to you.
