One For The Riddler ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Answer the Question "Who should get the prize?"
| Presenter | Presenter's nature | Tokens of submission [that represent the presenter's nature]> | Virtue who is awarded the Token |
| Lion | angrie [not gentleness*] | paw | Mansuetude [Gentleness] |
| Hare | fearful [not fortitude] | ears | Fortitude* |
| Turkey | jealous* [not temperance] | coral chain | Temperance |
| Fox | [not justice] | brain (killed by chance) | Justice * |
| Peacock | [WHAT GOES HERE IS THE CLUE] | plume (brought by the Crow) | ????????? |
Think of the puzzle as an elaborate comparison:
anger : gentleness :: fearfulness : fortitude :: jealousy : temperance :: sly opportunism killed by chance : justice :: ~X : X
| Too much algebra: | anger is inversely proportional to gentleness |
| anger = 1/gentleness | |
| :. anger * gentleness = 1 [unity for the Lion] | |
| ~X * X = unity [What is "X" for the Peacock?] |
Tutor's Note: Would it help to think of a Sin [symbolized by an animal] giving a piece of itself to a Virtue that is its master? Who deserves the Peacock's plume? (And why did the Crow bring it?)
[Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Catwoman, what's your answer?????????]
