Lastly, and again, about the nine letter word in Key Two, does it appear in the book as one word?

More Questions!

1.) One of your clues was that tracing paper would help with Key One. Would tracing paper also help with Key Two? If not, then maybe I am on the wrong track...It would be a stretch to say that tracing paper is useful for Key Two, but it is possible.

2.) You said that your numerology uses no zeroes. Does it use nines? It seems that the two most common forms are Pythagorean Numerology and Chaldean Numerology. One uses nines and one does not. Yes, the numerology chart that I use does have nines.

3.) You said that "Nimble" was important, and the clues were in the painting itself and the surrounding page. Could you give a hint on which Key "Nimble" will help us to solve? Key Two

4.) Back to the tracing paper...When we use the tracing paper, are we to line it up page with page, or art work to art work, or just trace an object and over-lay that on top of some other thing? I've tried tracing several things (ie "Boy Traveler", the horse in "Nimble", The horses in "The Ties that Bind"), but nothing seems to line up bang-on. Page to page.

17. Key Three

The hidden message next to The Wooden Boat will give you your first clue.

16. Key Three

This one is not a visual clue, it’s all about words.

14. Key Two and Key Three

Look for things in the book that occur nine times.

Q&A

Q.  Ive been trying to find the numbers on the boy traveler page. I tried tracing butterflys from other pages and placing it on top of that page... Then I used a flashlight to try to see numbers in various spots from the butterflys. Are the numbers going to be obvious when I find them, or is it going to require flashlights and mirrors, etc. I can't tell if I'm seeing numbers or if it's just the pattern of the ink on the paper..

A. The numbers will be obvious… No flashlight needed.

13. Key One..Extra

There are only two words associated with this Key (written in all capital letters just before the butterfly). These are two of the seven words that will be used to determine the “One Word.”

12. A Confusion of Words

Many of the clues refer to “a word,” “one word” or “words” and this can become confusing.  

There is the “one word” that is part of the final solution. It is a seven letter word, derived from seven words that are associated with the 3 keys.

One of those seven words will also determine the order of the numbers..see clue #3

11. Key One

“Start Here.”   Where exactly? At the butterfly, exactly.

10. Key One

No code or deciphering is needed here... the string of nine numbers are printed right on the page....which page? refer to clue number 7.

note: the picture here is just for decoration and has nothing to do with the clue

9. Key One

A piece of tracing paper would be very helpful
