Puzzle[]
This is not a haiku:
The Aksumites had 60
The Mu wanted 48.
While the Olmec and the Cahokians ended up with 168.
What did [the other 8 Lines]² have in the end?
Hint 1 |
|---|
Notice the numbers are divisible by 12
Hint 2 |
|---|
The other 8 might not be interpreted as it is
Solution |
|---|
Following the logic of haiku and the other 8 one can count the total of syllabes that make the remaining lines names
This results in a total of 21 syllabes . This to the power of 2 gives 441. Adding the remaining syllabes gives 447. Multiplying to 12 like in the other lines gives 5364
stl.la/5364 leads to a page called Shoots Fired that contains a audio file called Scanner
