0 Yoruichi-san Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Alright, resorting to major hint dropping: The title contains 3 hints: A very literal hint. Not being enigmatic about being enigmatic at all. A very literary hint. The allusion should be easily recognizable, although technically not exactly correct. The choice of who the line is directed towards is referring to the type of puzzles said puzzle maker was posting at the time, an example Hope that will get the ball rolling .

And the significance of the blue numbers? That is the crux of the issue, isn't it? I have faith in you BrainDenizens so I'm going to refrain from dropping hints about that just yet ;P.

0 plainglazed Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 researched to find the titles of the quotes solved and counted letters according to the blue numbers to come up with VERY TRULY Y(OURS?)

Very nice , but the last letter should be an A, not an E... ...resulting in another line from the canon as the answer, which I think you'll understand Edit: Nice job, everyone Edited August 6, 2014 by Yoruichi-san Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
