Answers to Lesson 2 Puzzles
Puzzle 1:
Many responses considered various tongue-less languages to be suitable methods of addressing the Hunger of Many Tongues. Indeed, the beast of the name, hearing sound, will seek out the speaker's tongue to devour. Those less knowledgeable, however, will conflate its hunger with an unknowing, mindless desire for merely the fleshly tongue.
Still, it is acceptable to take only this first precaution, as keeping silent will not expose your tongue in total - but it should be known that neither language nor tongue should be shown freely to the Hunger of Many Tongues, lest it be devoured and given to destruction.
Puzzle 2:
The answers were presented by the students.
Judge 1: See! These answers are unformed. Where shall the student and teacher talk? When shall they exchange? The level of interaction is not to be permitted.
Judge 2: See! Instead, the street-creature has been misinterpreted. As they have suggested that the confusion should exert itself outward from the question, they have subjected themselves to the same confusion. And now in exposure, we have been poisoned by it also.
Judge 3: See! And the answer was ceased in its formation, and so correctly became unformed. For its answer was not brought forth from its idea, but was given from its ending. From that was its being described. I do not see fault in their answers.
A street-creature appears.
Street-creature: See! And gaze upon it! Does your satisfaction in yourselves act to decide correctness?
Judge 2 was eaten.
Street-creature: Yes, now my confusion has evaporated as water-smoke. It is as it was.
The street-creature leaves.
Judge 1: It seems there will not be time for an answer.
Judge 3: Consider that! Now there is no longer the answer.
Puzzle 3:
Congratulations to the students who ably conducted and documented their attempts to coax forth dissatisfaction and want again from its fulfilled form.
The results were forwarded to the Bureau of Redirected Desire and the Overarching Confluence Culinary School, Third Branch for preliminary evaluation, and the findings were as follows:
Regarding the flame of desire: We also found that dissatisfaction was prone to ignite at the smallest perturbation. It provided an inconsistent source of harm against others, though it was eventually decided that to induce it in the enemy was more worthwhile for that end. Several of our students found it an economical method of heating their foods, but only after a moderate number were inexplicably hospitalized with severe burns. These burns were remarkably deeper than those received by our preliminary targets.
Regarding willful ignorance: Following the final step of one student's particularly thorough exploration, we attempted to reproduce the outcome. As a result, a large amount of our student body was incapacitated, which we deemed to be a successful outcome, regardless of the initial report. We have nominated the student for the Sunken Bar Award.
Puzzle 4:
Tales of the fall of Tu Long are often recounted as the cause of the The Ruler's Revision. As it follows, the Revision itself is almost entirely recounted in only the interpreted or modified form: That a ruler must be considerate of the subjects.
The original, of course, is: "A ruler must be considerate of the subjected." From this were derived the two corrections.
One must consider the temporal application - that a ruler in a given time is given its subjects in that time - the categorical application - that a ruler in a given domain is given its subjects in that domain - and finally, the political application - that a ruler in given power is given its subjects in that power.
The edict served to improve the quality of measuring devices of all sorts, and keep the rulership in greater check - at least until the reign of Lakikhatip Sipak the Before-First and Halved.
Puzzle 5:
Is it foolishness for our selves to descend to an unknowable place in search of that unknowable experience? The subject and definition of living itself, being embroiled in controversy for all centuries since its initial conception, is now considered as mostly consisting of diversions.
The few who explore the limits of living consider it a forbidden art, and therefore continue freely in their exploration. The cycles of the earth and the stars, the roaring of the seas and undulations of population are open to them.
Alas - it is also true that the knowledge is lost.
They continue freely - for it is only freedom which is then given to them - freedom and no more.
Puzzle 6:
The boulder was left alone, for it could not properly be assigned fault. Those who attempted to suggest it were discredited - those who attempted to do so were crushed.
The remainder, who knew not of the boulder, did not pass judgement, as the boulder was out of sight and influence. The incidents repeated for some time until the boulder had found a low-lying crevice within which to nestle.
Puzzle 7:
It is considered improper to serve the frogs themselves - such an event led to the Five Plagues Collapse which ended the ancient e-Bilam Conclave Wreathed in Eight Waters. More recent approaches have involved teaching the frogs pottery, among other technologies.
As for the consistent portion: Shearing is - appropriately - rather a simple motion of the pan itself, though the extra heating is an extraneous operation.
Puzzle 8:
The answers were received by the judges.
Judge 1: See! What admirable answers! This student knew that the question was not meant for them, and answered accordingly instead of stumbling first into the occult. To that extent, the other answers also commendable.
Judge 3: No, no. This was not meant for these students, yet it drifted into the lesson. Now you have exposed them to True Esoterica, and by reading their answers we have exposed ourselves to it as well.
Judge 1: But have not seen this brilliance? That the ascending realms as defined under the Northeastern Thought - the Nine and Ten of the Great Realm Cycle - are the emanation of a cycle of ever-purifying pain? Yes - consider it!
A stone-spirit strolls into the room.
Judge 3: Now you have done it.
Judge 1, oblivious: I do not know what I have done.
Judge 3, predictably, ceases to exist.
Judge 1 walks to the stone spirit, and sits upon its back.
Judge 1: See! I have known this truth! The ways are opened to me, and heaven has smiled on my fate.
Stone-spirit: Let us excise them of their pain. Let us concentrate it in this wretched realm.
Judge 1 exits.
