To be really honest, I know it's only been a week since it arrived. But I'm bored with it now.
I enjoyed the articles and the puzzles, but once you get the puzzle within the puzzle, I'm just finding I'm wasting time when I need to do other stuff.
I may go with issue 3.2 to see what the differences are.
So, just a quickie before I vanish... To quote Dave Bowman.

An interesting catch. When I looked at the compass I got two possible and plausible answers to thoughts from the compass rose. One a silly little reminder and our common letter theme. And one a little more interesting now that we are seeing constellations as well. I haven't looked at the constellation angle yet. But that may be a thread to tug. |

Problem is, the star that's being associated with the map in this thread might not be what it seems. Circinus certainly translates to 'compass,' but the name is not referring to a mariner's compass or a compass rose, it was named after a dividing compass, like compass and protractor.
Not to say it isn't the correct answer, just that there are two instruments with the same name that are sometimes confused. |

It was actually a second plausible message from the letters I was referring to. Same theme though

Sorry for any confusion, I should have quoted. I wasn't thinking anagrams or other interpretations, I was addressing the original poster, who said that the solution/meaning/tie-in of the map was Circinus. I was just mentioning that the constellation Circinus isn't named for the mariner's compass, but for the divided compass (think Masonic emblem). |

What's the constellation angle??? Message me pls. |
