HOW DO YOU SOLVE THIS PUZZLE?
To give people time to see this thread, there are two parts. PART ONE is below. I'll post PART TWO (by editing this post) on Thursday (June 4). The clue from PART ONE will help you solve PART TWO.
WANT A HINT?
To keep this thread visible, post something random (pets???) in this thread. If you do that, you can ask me a single question via private DM about PART ONE that I can answer with yes or no. One question per account.
That will give you a head start on PART TWO. Then once PART TWO is released, the first person that posts the solution in this thread wins.
THE PUZZLE:
PART ONE - What does this mean?
The year after the crash, Paul came to explain.
Aloysius tried too, but ignore the law of Latium.
From William's forest came intricate plates.
The smell of lavender preceeded the prize.
Now mull over the Colonel's past.
For that is where it comes from.
PART TWO:
The cross means another, says your kin.
†
TO WIN, WHAT DOES THAT SYMBOL MEAN?
BONUS CLUE:
Remember the alphabet was once smaller before it died.
Even if you already have the book, let me know in this thread if I can improve this process somehow. After the books, I might keep doing more contests for goodies from the CF Shop.
It's tough out there, so trying to spread the love. Any other thoughts or questions, let me know.
