Q. What is the objective here?<br>

Q. I can't break the code.<br>
A. It's not a plain code, it's a keyword cipher.<br><br>

A. Don't just read the message, REFLECT CAREFULLY on it.<br><br>

Q. I can't solve the logic puzzle.<br>

First of all, if you're trying to <b>say "tertius"</b> it won't work.  You have to <b>say tertius</b> or just plain <b>tertius</b>. Also, if you want to play Nim with the old man, you have to <b>say yes</b>, not just <b>yes</b>.<br>
