The witness puzzle solutions maze5/17/2023 The first word of the note “IMPORTANT” does contain the letters of “TRAP”. Now it gets complicated: Are there “pairs” of Guides visiting MAZE or are the visitors all literary figures with creepy multiple character identities? Is Room 13 “The Time Machine”? Is the “she” visitor Mary Shelley, if so where is Frankenstein (who is many people in one)? LIKE ( 1) George Wells and Poe’s William Wilson/doppelganger (posted in Who Is The Guide?) is critiqued to be Poe representing his educational life. Wells created The Invisible Man and Poe created William Wilson and his doppelganger. The clue in the narrative “deceptions practiced in my family, PARTicularly on my father” refers to Edgar Allan Poe’s father (and mother) being a professional actor who wears disguises (deceptions). We seem to have a cat and other items running through the rooms and the Invisible Man wore a hat, gloves, coat, dark glasses, and wrapped his head in bandages as in Room 35. The Important Notice posted can be filled in with: “the individual representing himself as the GUIDE is no other than GRIFFIN the INVISIBLE MAN”. In this room it is hung as a “shingle” like an Optometrist would have along with the Notice that clues to an “Eye chart” both representing “optics”. This room “Looks” like it clues to THE INVISIBLE MAN…Griffin, the “optic scientist” turns himself and his CAT invisible while experimenting. I wonder if the Guide has any such feelings towards the matter of his father’s tragic end. If the Greeks had more sympathy towards animals then the tale of the Cretan Bull would be labeled a tragedy. ![]() It was captured and relocated multiple times, sowed mayhem and sorrow, and was eventually killed by Theseus. Some versions of the tale in which Hercules wrestles the Cretan Bull say that Hercules waited for the bull to be looking down and away before grabbing it by the horns, instead of taking it on in a fair contest of strength. For example, the Minoans captured the Cretan Bull possibly through deceit, as it is an animal of remarkable strength that would be difficult to overpower physically by ordinary villagers. I feel like many events in Greek mythos that happen to the Cretan Bull could be read as trickery and deception. His preceding line (You continue to judge everything by the way it looks!), in conjunction with the reference to deceptions on his father, certainly seems to be a direct reference to the Bull’s incident with Pasiphae. Perhaps it is, though I wonder if the Guide’s feelings go as far as resentment. Note: Riddles regarding the identity of the Guide are not factored into the solution meter. The door number 40 (the only choice) is written in the same style as 38 in Room 40 suggesting a path.Images and text copyright 1985 by Christopher Manson We went down the only way open to us and came to… ![]() If you think of all the deceptions practiced in my family, particularly on my father… “You continue to judge everything by the way it looks!” I cried, exasperated by their timidity. Standing in the light one of them put his hand out. A very small hole, high above, admitted a feeble light. …a gloomy, cavelike place far underground. Even I was oppressed by the weight that hung over our heads. Navigate by clicking on doors or door numbers.
