THE HINTS- VITAL TO SUCCESS

[dude here]

I also don’t understand Sean’s take on the subtle clues in the book weren’t deliberately placed to aid the seeker. To me, you can’t just focus in on the weren’t deliberately placed part. That’s out of context. You got to include the to aid the seeker part. That part, to me, means those subtle hints don’t act as clues in the poem. They only help the clues which we know from other f quotes. Just another way that f described it.

So, I think some people interpret this to mean that Mr F did not deliberately put the hints in the book. That is absurd, in my opinion. How else did they get in the book? By accident? Clearly, he put the hints in the book on purpose, and he means something else with the statement.

Whoever gets the box of goodies should leave something of great value in its place and sell a book of hints. Or, have a blog that gives hints out sporadic and freely.

Yeah, I agree. The table is set and there's a huge audience of hungry searchers. The finder should consider doing something to keep the chase alive.
