Take no notice of that. It isn't the end. I know what the end is, and that isn't it.

One of those hunts wouldn't be 'The Forgotten Word' would it? I solved a bit of that. Keep meaning to get back to it.

IMO if we blanked-out the text of the ring after the first sentence of 'Look at the end...yenned" and only looked at that and the keys' text, it would be impossible to know what 'the end' is. We have to work our way around the ring poem to where we first started, in order to understand the end. It also makes sense then to not have a period after 'Lethe'. It reminds me of this: "We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. Through the unknown, remembered gate When the last of earth left to discover Is that which was the beginning..." T.S. Eliot. This cipher sounds like Harry Potter's golden snitch, 'I open at the close'.

Thanks Gill. I think it's crazy. Although, if you look carefully at the Redrum vid mix on the site, and listen... possibly. And Dolos does refer to the puzzle as his game. The next part I had for that was: Many will fail and then retry Many = A LOT And applying the flutterby effect to Retry gives: A LOTTERY So we have PLAY A LOTTERY... (many fail and retry that). If Dolos were around he'd probably stick his MIB flashy stick in my face 🤪.

I've got it, Mr Trickster. I'd need a memo relapse.

What's with the clouds? A woman sitting at the shore with her head in the clouds, not to mention Dolos' cloudy headed avatar. Ancient Greeks, who lived near the coast, saw rainbows as Iris refilling the clouds after a storm. Look at the end and then 4. 'C' at the end and then 4 more letters. It's not what we see but what we hear? C loud. Long ago, Dolos said that we are missing key elements. There's something weird about those clouds. A firey bottom key. The top key looks like it's been in the clouds for too long. There's Dolos at the top:

The answer could simply be to wait until we are dead.

Close an eye and open your ear, then drink two gallons of golden beer. I've been flollowing those destructions complicitly and think it's starting to help.

Now, Mr Dolos, has anyone figured out the answer to this 'by the way' question? or is it just another personal thing that you hold alone?

Don't concern yourself with 'tit'. It appears all the time in attempts to solve a cipher. Frequency of letters throw it out there all the time in incorrect solutions, randomly (etaoinshr or whatever). It's natural. So 'tits' should be familiar to a cipher solver. Now, this plain text cipher, that's another story.

Are you alive, Kemet? I worry about dolosian twitchy disease. It lingers.

I'd call you a tit, and then contemplate the question.

Chip! are you alive?

Why is no one interested in discussing this puzzle? If I remove my barrage of thoughts, of which I have posted few, you may have some breathing room. Back to Jenny Kile for me. Take care everyone, and be good. The key lies within the keys...and The Ring of course.

Here's a freaky thing I sent to Dolos a while back. Made me think of the 'stick bug' vid: The king that hides in the attic? Maybe not 🤪.

I love this post! It's everything that I ever dreamed of and more!

Mr Dolos, sir, you've responded to adult-like questions for a long time. What about answering a kid's question? Is this a game of hide and seek?

I'm thinking similar thoughts. Check out my last reply to SeivlN's "Don't forget to forget" post (oops!, you already did). The inroad to the cipher might hinge on the 'forget' business. Dolos has said that it's the forgetfulness that we all miss. The Bell mini gave several interpretations of 'forget'. Maybe the correct one was included, I don't know. There was even a freaky one with 'q's involved. They were used in The Keys mini too. Hard to swallow but it's there.

"Don't forget to forget". One way of reading that is to not interpret 'forget' as forgetting in the usual sense. In other words, it's an instruction: don't apply forgetting/losing memory of, when considering 'forget'.

Last response I got was this (a silly thought anyway):
