    Now, I feel foolish. Hey there was no preliminary to that Alex Trebek joke! Aria may not need 'em, but I'll take all the formatting and font clues I can get.

    Need them?! I don't know which one to appreciate more, the thread, the pilot trivia or the warped, twisted yet spang clues that Soka furnished.

    I think the crytic ladder of Sokanasanah needs some explanation to anyone who is following to descend from the delitescence of the clues and appreciate it fully.


    Bellum omnium contra omnes, a Latin phrase meaning "the war of all against all", is the description that Thomas Hobbes gives to human existence in the state of nature thought experiment that he conducts.

    Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher, best known today for his work on political philosophy. His 1651 book Leviathan established social contract theory, the foundation of most later Western political philosophy.

    Calvin and Hobbes is a daily comic strip by American cartoonist Bill Watterson, and syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. It follows the humorous antics of Calvin, a precocious, mischievous, and adventurous six-year-old boy, and Hobbes, his sardonic stuffed tiger. The pair is named after John Calvin, a 16th-century French Reformation theologian, and Thomas Hobbes, a 17th-century English political philosopher.

    Thanks for the explanation Aria. We must make an effort to keep the thread accessible to as wide an audience as possible. Just to add, the 'Total Depravity of Man' is a Calvinist doctrine that originates from the idea of the original sin in Christianity.

    I am reposting the question in a reticulated manner , easy to difficult to identify the pattern and not stuck with cracking only one image. As Soka loved the collar he might love some haberdashery there! Identify the women, crack the pattern.
