Title: The will 8
Post by Iceman on Sep 30^th, 2008, 10:30am

Timothy’s father passed away. He specified in the will that if Timothy guesses correctly the password for his custom made digital safe, he’ll get most of his wealth. He has only one chance to open the safe, as he’ll be supervised by the lawyer when he decides to give it a shot. There is the clue for the safe combination, his father’s note below.

Timothy. If you’re reading this note, it means
that I'm dead. You know I love you, my boy,
but to learn lesson of life, that nothing is free,
you will have to guess the password on your
own. When compared to Almighty's abilities,
human being is like a monkey, but this doesn't
mean that God is better than us. He is different,
that's all, and he can make a mistake too, even
though 'to err' definitely belongs more to human
neighborhood. I always wanted to die in an
unusual way, but then again, I hope I didn’t die
like James Scott Monmouth. Whether you get
most of my wealth or not, one thing you’ll get for
sure: the book of Montale, my favorite poet. Let
it be a guiding star for your education. You know
what I miss in USA at summer? Monsoon. I’ve
encountered it in my travels in S Asia. Your mother
was pain in the neck, but she was worth it. I hope
you’ll find someone like that, someone special.
As for the password, I will tell you that you must
input four correct words, which have something
to do with doors, heads, literature and time.
Also, these words share a peculiar bond. Good luck.
