January 10th: “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school” ~ Albert Einstein
The Riddle:
One and Four (14)
Friday (Friday’s Fenn Favorites)
Seven More (seven years ago)
Today (January 10th)
What remains? (Education – from the quote)
Find
Left in Brains (education is left in the brain after everything is forgotten from school)
Answer
Assume the RED MW is for Mysterious Writings website.
PERFECT SOLUTION/ANSWER! CONGRATS TO BRIAN P.!
Acting as confirmation, or offering more clues towards the find was the following:
The grey matter highlighted N and U, or 14 and 21 (letter in the alphabet) also hinted to years and time/date….
BUT their position in the line, which was 2nd and 9th, was also important and hinted to a date….
If you checked on MW’s archives, 2 (February), 9 (the day), 2014 (2,9 in the phrase 1 and 4- or February 9th in the year 2014)), is when I posted the Friday’s Fenn Favorite, which contained the Quote needed to answer the question of the riddle….. https://mysteriouswritings.com/2014/02/ > https://mysteriouswritings.com/fridays-fenn-favorite/
So if one looked on MW, in archives of 2/9/2014, they would find the Quote, given on the same date as release of the Hunt, January 10th, seven years ago, which provided the answer of ‘What Remains?’
Education.
Thanks all for participating! NEXT HUNT RELEASED 2/10!
