[...] To solve the puzzle, the reader must determine        AA> the correct order of the pages and also the names of the murderers and        AA> victims within the story. The story's text includes a large number of        AA> quotations, references, puns, Spoonerisms and other word games. The pages        AA> can be arranged in 9.33?10157 (factorial of 100) possible combinations,        AA> but there is only one correct order. The solution to the puzzle has never        AA> been made public.               AA> Cain's Jawbone - Paperback        AA> Mathers Edward Powys        AA> Games & Activities / Puzzles        AA> Published May 14, 2021               AA> Caution: NOT for ebook readers! ;) The physical format is the ONLY way        AA> to go for this challenge.. and you could even be tempted to rip out the        AA> pages to but the story in chronological order.               Definitely not for me. I just don't have the patience for that sort of thing.                      --- AfterShock/Android 1.6.8        * Origin: Firecat Mobile (4:920/1.1)       SEEN-BY: 1/21 3/1 15/0 90/1 92/0 1 105/81 106/201 114/705 123/120       SEEN-BY: 129/305 330 331 134/100 153/141 757 7715 218/700 840 220/70       SEEN-BY: 221/6 226/17 229/110 111 112 113 317 426 428 470 664 700       SEEN-BY: 250/5 8 267/800 280/464 282/1038 298/25 301/1 305/3 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 396/45 712/848 770/1 920/0 1 69 2320/105       PATH: 920/1 153/757 221/6 218/840 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
