-# Japanese Hint
54
->Line 1: octave. Octave usually relates to the number 8, and it’s used in music. However Mr.
55
->Preiss hints that in this case it is a proper noun. He did not give me further hints.
56
-
57
->Line 18-20: To achieve by dauntless and inconquerable determination.
58
->This part is a quote from a book, so let’s look at the dictionary of quotations again.

-# Gift Giver Nudge
63
-The Secret's official nudge of 2021.
64
-Not too long ago I was watching a film which featured [whirling dervishes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHjFgOfoZ7M&fbclid=IwY2xjawFdnb5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHa4mGv_sf_mZ7DnjlBOGs5_8KIDvkBjie2qd2bbCJTRTTSi2RO9-q6W_1g_aem_WyF4_p73gLbv3eYBGbvmPA)
65
-In the scene the Sufi has one hand pointing to the sky accepting something from God, and one hand pointed to the earth giving something back. For a brief second I was reminded of the Roanoke painting.
66
-The painting seems to involve parallels doesn't it? One side matching the other, but not exactly.
67
-Left hand accepting, right hand releasing.
68
-Why does the right hand have a string with nothing attached?
69
-Why is the left holding a watch?
70
-Should you add something to the right?
71
-Should you remove something from the left?
72
-Is it the reverse?
73
-How would you know? Maybe there are instructions in the painting. Perhaps a plus and minus sign somewhere.
74
-Are you looking at these paintings correctly?
75
-Is anyone?
76
-I don't remember exactly what John and Byron were going for. Maybe you can help fill in the blanks.
77
-Merry Christmas, see you next year.
