Reply To: Clues (I have none?)

[Gabriel]

from the description: “The room does not hide anything for those who visit it”

I think this means we can take the obvious clues at face value and choose the mystery door to be 3. The author probably includes this because he recognizes that unwarranted significance could be put on the room, given the theme. There’s 3 lines on the container, 3 Platonic solids, the algebra results in 3, and “lead and gold” are separated by atomic number of 3.

I’m not sure if 3 is the fastest way to the final room, but it’s the most direct way to get back to the path, which I think is where the author is going with this one; I think this is just another escape from the loop section of the maze, nothing of extra special significant afaict.
