Did you know that the stones are widely believed to be fake?

Hope that Ron did not release a red herring clue. Not sure what to make of the clue other than more emphasis on twice.

I don't think it's an intentional red herring clue either. Assuming that is the case, then it's an interesting illustration of how very easy it is to unintentionally create a clue that casts doubt on itself based on some relationship within its clue.

It's all about interpretation.let's hope he releases a key soon!

Finally solved it. I think! I hope!

I am cheering for you Lobster. You have been at this since day one and even had to endure all of the typos in the book before they were finally published. Ron would appreciate the winner having a shorter flight to get the eagle.

Lobster, I am rooting for you too. You deserve it with all your perseverance

My latest solution is very, very promising with every letter found except for the two that went on a hunt of their own. Put together those two letters are quite rude by the way. Someone had better be receiving a phone call from Canada soon.

Hoping all the best to you Jeff.

I too have come upon a new promising solution. Lets hope there is a winner soon!

What day of the week are submission results usually returned? Is it consistent?

You never know with these things. I've had many perfect solutions rejected, so Im not holding my breath, even though my solution fits a ridiculous number of clues.

Also think I'm close to solving another chapter based on what I've learned from this one, so hopefully I'll get one of them, lol.
