" Oh, now I see what you're saying. Ah, well... I guess I'm going to be focusing on these rooms for a while, it feels like one of the core areas without a solid explanation (there's the stuff in the path and the stuff in the... "

" Haha, there was a famous violinist called Ole Bull. Stepping away from Google now. "

" A bow is also part of a key. "

" I just learned that the top bit of a violin, which kind of looks like the tops of the columns here (upside-down), is called a scroll. That connects perhaps with the bit of paper hanging in the door to 13. (And the scroll in Room... "

" I didn't mean to suggest this isn't significant! There's definitely a parallel structure going on here, I just don't know what it means. "

" The hand pointing out with the fingers and palm reaching upwards might be a visual synonym, which could signify a reinterpretation of the word stop, halt, etc. Plus the hand, fingers, and the bottom (a byss) of the palm included, have a total of 8... "

" I plotted it out and it looks decent thoooooooooughhhhh "

" What are we still uncertain about in this room? There's the backdrop weirdness, but is there anything else- the STOP and herring themes? "

" I don't think this theory is structurally faulty but it just looks for something where it isn't. The chairs could also be making A's "

" Tell me a single stop sign that DOESN'T have 8 sides. Every stop sign can be rearranged to "post" and translated so every stop sign in the word is hiding this secret according to this logic. (Except for the secret hexagonal stop signs in Room... "

" Nope, don't suppose that at all. "

" Now I'm sad. ;-; "

" You’re welcome "

" nope "

" You don’t suppose that there could be any further possible theories, regarding the Latin translation of the word POST and the number of sides on the posted stop design? The Latin translation of POST via google translate, is AFTER THE or POSTQUAM, both of which... "

" MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY. "

" Sometimes silence is more eloquent than sound, Vince. "

" The sides of the chairs make nice Fs. The backs of the chairs have five horizontal lines like the musical staff. So both chairs have an F and then a staff on the right, because of how they are positioned, matching the F clef and... "

" I have noticed a pattern of representation > 100% integrity artistically in Manson's case, like when he changed the image of the bottle in Room 1 from page to page. It's a discrepancy and pretty noticeable once it is pointed out, but it isn't his... "

" My only hangup on the room 33 key is that it has a rectangular head. All the other keys are drawn with a circular head, and a rectangular head doesn't really make any sense with the 3-room diagram we've been doing. "

" WOAH, WAIT A SECOND- There's key symbolism is this area- room 33. "

" Also, we have noticed a connection between these rooms. It seems like some of the objects between them rhyme, specifically between the rooms you pointed out. Wow, the exit is right where 24 would be! I'm set that even if this area is not a... "

" But it makes just as much of a key as the trap rooms. Though you have to ignore room 27, but it IS one-way... "

" I actually really like this! My only problem is using the same symbol to refer to two different areas. "

" Redidal 4: Attack of the Nutmeg Gnomes "

" Which can be written as no mace! It's all a warning against nutmeg! Why didn't we see it before? "

" But "maze gnome" is an anagram for "gnome maze." "

" Ha, ha, ha. Very funny. "

" I think you just solved MAZE! "

" I couldn't agree more! "

" Are the gnomes found throughout the MAZE under york, and? "

" I feel mostly confident in the "agon" trail. It could be some sort of weird red herring, though. You're right that the one-syllable rhymes are easy. "King, ring." "Fife, knife." "Jug, bug." "Key, bee." "

" If all there is to an object is that it rhymes with something, it seems like that's going to be hard to be completely confident about, especially with one-syllable, simple rhymes involving objects that could be described multiple ways. If something clearly associated with a... "

" The weird thing is that out of the multiple suggestions proposed for themes, a few of them make sense to some degree, but don't make sense in context of the other suggestions. For example: I thought the insect was a hornet because of the horn... "

" I only noticed the discrepancy seconds before I responded. "

" I would guess so, if I had to guess, but I wouldn't bet money on it. "

" Do you think this room has a simple unifying principle for its symbols, that, once you know, would make all of them clear and obvious in meaning? "

" (because of how MAZE was branded, like a contest with a prize. It's an agon!) That's an issue with very noisy rooms though- you can make connections that are interesting but silly to assume they were planned that way. For example, "flagon flutes" rearranges to... "

" The stop sign is an octagon, so this seems like it would be a weird clue. "
