Neighborhood
3 Normal and Super Meta
By
Chris Morse and Dan Katz
Each of
the normal answers in this round contains only O and I as vowels, and thus each
really represents a binary number. Each
binary number can be converted to the nth letter of the alphabet to spell out
the super power. They actually read
down the 4 columns of the neighborhood, POW, ER, OF, TEN.
Super
power: POWER OF TEN
Meta
(in order)
BIG COTTONWOOD = 10000 = 16 = P
SPIRIT WRITING = 1111 = 15 = O
IMMOBILIZING = 10111 = 23 = W
HIPPOGRIFF = 101 = 5 = E
MICROSOFT WINDOWS = 10010 = 18 = R
DIMINISHING = 1111 = 15 = O
SILICON = 110 = 6 = F
DISTORTION BOX = 10100 = 20 = T
KICKBOXING = 101 = 5 = E
IGNITION = 1110 = 14 = N
Super-Meta:
Each of
the super answers in the round clue a different number, and these numbers all
begin
with the number 1 to 10 inclusive. So,
since each one is associated with a location
on the
map (based on how it is places) so that it makes a one-to-one correspondence
with
one of
the normal answers. The final digit is
an index to what letter you want in the
answer.
