Your phrasing suggests "got the first clue correct" should mean "solved the first clue." I don't think Fenn ever said this. Determining which lines of the poem are "the first clue" doesn't mean you have solved that clue. I believe the poem can and does define WWWH to a very high level of probability, so I think the Powerball comparison by mm is too extreme. However, I will admit that hints in TTOTC gave me confidence in solving that clue before I figured out how to solve for it using just the poem. I now believe you can get to the unique WWWH with just the poem alone. Whether it may take longer, I can't say. It depends on how you approach it. I used the long way around. The short way is easier, if you know how to attack the poem. Once you have WWWH, I think your chances improve to 3,000:1 or perhaps to 1,000:1 -- much better than Powerball. I think some of the following clues are tougher to solve than Fenn lets on. Even with the 9th clue "solved" I think your odds are still in the 100:1 range or higher. |
