Make a list, muffin, and then pare it down to only the things you have to do. Save the ones you want to do, for now. Don't worry, you'll have a lot of free time coming to you before long. -- Madame Bianca

I’ve given you all you need to begin. Be simple. Start by answering the obvious questions. Everything leads on from the answers you already have. -- Combed Thunderclap

Five fingers

• Discuss ideas on the "Five Fingers message" from card #223

• Five fingers point half the world realm region feature last mystery
  • Believed to refer to five meta puzzles that we have received from Combed Thunderclap. -Mindez
  • Any other alternatives? -Mindez
  • It is believed that we need to solve them in order, and we may not be able to solve the one after it unless we solve the one before it, unless by some luck -Mindez
  • To this end, I feel we should focus our attention on the "Half The World" clue. -Mindez

• Half The World
  • North, South, West, East hemisphere? -Mindez
  • Perhaps a clue lies in the other joker card, Persian. -Mindez
  • The Persian creation myth apparently states that the land was divided when the rain came into 7 areas, the largest of which was one-half of the world - called Khvaniras, Khvanirath or Hvaniratha. -Mindez
  • Source: http://www.art-arena.com/cotw.htm -Mindez
  • The text on Roaming Identity (otpaaworldtdnia 1.59.27) is believed to have something to do with the Half The World clue. -Mindez

• Realm

• Region

• Feature

• Last Mystery
  • Endgame? Cube? Or perhaps, one final clue to lead us to it. -Mindez

Number Strings

• Is Combed Thunderclap giving us a clue in 'The arrangements have been made'?
  • A grid of letters (or words), or several layered grids even? - "the words on words arranged on other words"
  • N.B. 'Arrangements' are mentioned in 'To begin' as well: "It all begins with the arrangement of things"
