Wow. That’s a lot of eyes.
That clinches it; whatever 84 is looking for, it involves a trick question. My first guess is that she is looking for the letter I.
Many eyes in the room, none that I can see are just called “the eye”, you have the “all seeing eye” illuminati, the “eye of ra” Egypt, the “eye of Merlin”, an eye from the statue from the old first edition d&d book covers (trying to remember which book) it’s in the case below the painting of the “doctor’s eyes”, the glasses on the bench probably “eyes of hawk vision” or some such from D&D, NOTE: knitting needles to not have eyes. Ok, that’s enough for me, can’t wait to see what it ends up being.
She has super-strength.
Pick up the building, hold it aloft, and wait to be snapped back to Reality.
Ideal outcome: “Hmmm, technically you DID bring me the Eye and you’ll make a good Opponent — after you get a bit more seasoning. I’ll be back in a century.”
As pointed out last page, that wordplay wouldn’t make sense in any of the languages Kodashi or Veles would have spoken, and it would be really out of character for Kodashi to build a big magic setup like this for a journey of self discovery.
Also Baba Yaga said that the eye was called just that, nothing else. Where as Julie has a great many other things she is called.
Wow… all those traps with trick questions and specific wording phrases and counter loop hole traps…. Just to have the last one be a giant screw ball attack.
Want an “eye” little girl? Have all the “eyes” except this one!
Out of all the things there, for some reason the coatrack gets my attention. It’s probably there just as a Doctor Who reference (there’s *always* a coatrack in the TARDIS), but for some reason I’m trying to think of a pun/joke with eye that would apply.
A nice way to demonstrate the fallacy behind the “needle in a haystack” saying. You don’t hide a needle in a haystack, that’s silly. You hide it in a pile of other needles.
That’s assuming you are hiding a particular needle, whereas in the phrases context you are looking for any needle, thus a needlestack would be a jackpot rather than something hard to find needles in.
I heard once that there was an actual gate in the middle east (Not sure where), that was called the “Eye of the needle”. It was too small for a camel to travel through. Maybe the door itself is the eye?
Also, Does this look like the room of requirement’s younger brother? (The Harry Potter glasses may be an issue.)
“The Eye of the Needle” reference is in the New Testament when Christ tells His Apostles, “It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter Heaven.” Some scholars feel this refers to one of the gates of Jerusalem that was sometimes called “The eye of the needle” and was narrow and short enough that a camel had to be unloaded of anything it was carrying in order to get through. The analogy being that it is easier for a camel to be unloaded of its baggage than for those who focus on riches to let go of their wealth.
If by “some scholars” you mean “mostly American Evangelicals,” then, yes, that is true. While the story of a gate named the eye of the needle didn’t originate in the U.S., it has long had more currency within the Evangelical Protestant community than within the Catholic or mainline Protestant communities. If the eye of the needle is a gate, getting the camel through is therefore difficult. If, however, the eye is in an actual sewing needle, getting the camel through is impossible. Which interpretation one favors has to do with doctrines and dogmas about salvation and wealth that needn’t be detailed further here.
The oldest sources we have for Matthew Chapter 19 (where the parable is told) make it clear that Jesus is speaking of the difficulty of getting an actual camel through an actual needle, not a metaphorical gate. Rabbinical sources speaking of getting other large animals, even up to elephants through needles further undercut the gate interpretation. The earliest mention of this supposed gate isn’t until the Ninth century A.D. and there is no historical or archaeological evidence for existence of such a gate in the time the Gospels are set.
TL;DR version: Julie shouldn’t be bringing the door to Veles.
Where does the wise man hide a key? In a key cabinet. Where does the wise man hide a leaf? In a forest. And where does the wise man hide a dead body? In with lots of other dead bodies… and if you don’t happen to have a cemetery nearby but are a general, a lost battle can provide just that! (Father Brown – not an exact quote – by GK Chesterton)
I’m wondering if it actually matters what she takes. With so many things that could be called “the eye” perhaps she just needed to reach this point and bring back something, anything, as proof.
I think the “eye at the heart of the egg” may just be the middle of the place. Like, the “eye” of a storm. Maybe it resembles an egg yolk? This is an egg after all.
The problem with this sort of thing, it is easy to over think.
I’m just wondering, the eye can be known as something else, the mist door let us know that. Baba Yaga told us that it is know as The eye, that and nothing else. Make me think that when it is called The eye, there is nothing added to it. For example, a potato’s eye (or The potato’s eye) wouldn’t work. Neither would The eye of Horus (you don’t just call it The eye). And the one from the US dollar is The all seeing eye. Again, wouldn’t work because it’s not just known as “The eye”.
According to Baba Yaga, the eye that Julie is looking for is called that and nothing else (or words to that effect). Is that a useful clue here? For instance, I doubt it’s a gem – because although that COULD be called an eye, it’s not the only thing it’s called.
I like the little plane, it reminds me of one on a very old Batman cover. The props are great.
The kind of answer really depends on whether this is a Campbell ‘hero’s’ quest where the hero fetches something back to help his people. Then it would be something, Or this could be a heroine’s quest where she gets enlightened and finds the answer in herself. Now I hope this will be a really grim answer that combines the two and she loses an eye. Have we seen 84 with any object she’s acquired or already owns? Didn’t she get an invitation to that FIST party to be their leader? She is the “I” and the invitation might fit in other ways to the puzzle too.
“They eye is just THAT, called by NO OTHER NAME.”
Both Veles and Baba Yaga seems to be well in the know about what it is, and they both refer to it in singular form. Also, Grigor said:
“This place was made by Koschei the Undying, to protect something MOST DEAR to him.”
Now, the confusion about the “me/myself/i” and “eye” only appears in English, and I don’t think neither Veles nor Baba Yaga would make it.
What would be valuable to somebody able to construct such a magical egg?
Wouldn’t it take quite a bit of skill and eye for detail to make such a thing.
If it were a riddle based on one of the Slavic languages, it wouldn’t be translated into English, of necessity, and you’d have to solve it in the language in which it was conceived. Otherwise, it would be unfair, and that all the puzzles in the egg have a faerie tale sense of rhyme and reason to them.
However, even though it’s printed as “eye” on the page doesn’t mean that’s how it’s actually spelled; it’s merely how Julie perceives it. She thinks, “Oh, an eye,” and thus that’s how it’s presented to us. It could very well be “I” or “aye,” or “eye,” and she wouldn’t know.
I for Identity. It’s her personal crusade to find what is most dear to anyone: their sense of who they are, which is called by no other than than “I”, their Identity. This is his home of knickknacks of adventures, hoarding of things both relevant and frivolous.
Oooh. I hate those. I tend to do badly on those tests (including IQ tests) because I start seeing all the relevant (and irrelevant) details that most people miss, and it screws me up. For instance, “Which of these fruits is not like the others: apple, banana, lemon, strawberry.” And then I start thinking, “Well, the banana and apple are the only berries, and the strawberry is CALLED a berry but isn’t, the lemon is the only citrus, the strawberry is the only fruit in the world with seeds on the outside, the banana is the only one that isn’t at least vaguely round, the strawberry is the only one that doesn’t grow on a tree, the banana is the only fruit from a tree that lives exclusively in tropical areas, the apple is the only one that originated in the Middle East, the banana is the only fruit with skin that is never eaten and must be peeled, the apple is the only one with poisonous seeds,” and the list just keeps growing. Seriously, there are so many answers that fit, *and I don’t know which one they want.*
Apples aren’t berries, they’re pomes. Bananas don’t grow on trees, but they are the largest herbaceous flowering plant. Strawberries are “fleshy receptacles.” 😉
Veles’ challenge is to enter the egg and “claim the eye at its heart”. The mist guardian says “it was clever to call it that so you could get past the guardians of the first gate”. At the first gate, the stone guardians said “we don’t think that’s on the list of stuff we’re supposed to guard”, so we can conclude:
(1) The eye IS something they were supposed to guard;
(2) It’s one of multiple things they’re supposed to guard.
So, it’s entirely possible the eye ISN’T that something which is “most dear” to Koschei. Not likely, but possible.
Oh THANK YOU for gathering all those in one place on THIS page. Combined with Baba Yaga’s hint on the last page, we now have just about every bit of information at Julie’s disposal.
Well, if you can find the exact center of the egg, then that could be considered the eye, as in the eye of a storm being the center of a storm. It might be a location and not an object.
Find someone living there and pluck their eyes out? No wait… The person living there must be a cyclops or some other means one eyed. Got to get the correct single eye.
I have to wonder if Aaron changes his stories based on the comments/theories that we place in the comments. I mean, if he read a comment and discovered that a theory presented was a better idea than the story he’d sketched out, would he modify his tale in future pages ?
Generally, the folks that follow these stories are well read and genre savy. While we will present a lot of bad ideas and off-kilter theories, I’d be willing to be at least once we have put out concepts that were just as good as the direction Aaron had taken.
Yeah, I’ve thought that too. That used to happen when I was a DM, that the players had a more elegant idea where I would add a fillip from my original idea.
I’m wondering if it might be something akin to Dorian Grey. A self-portrait painted by the Undying, called ‘I’. At which point, it’s called that, and nothing else.
I can’t believe no one else thinks that what she was sent to get is the visual attention of Koschei on Vales. She needs to trip an alarm then find an security camera or its magical equivalent, witch is probably that picture on the wall. Then she needs to quickly direct it at Vales probably by writing his name on it then getting herself “killed” and presumably returning to his vicinity.
Just checked back pages, I still think that it is that magic mirror like picture but she dose not have to get herself killed, Veles will draw her out. presumably with what she is holding. Now how to set an example while avoiding becoming the Champion of Earth.
Is there any chance the Eye is already in the panels of this update? I wonder if the Eye is something we readers would correctly immediately recognize if we saw it.
Well, there isn’t the usual logo on his chest… but if it is, it’s a pretty awful visual pun, considering that both Ultra Boy and Pinocchio were trapped inside whales.
Heh. A truly chaotic individual would accept any eye from the room, since it would be proof that you got to the center, but making you sweat is half the fun.
Isn’t that red gem in the case the same one used in the nodwick story to restore balance to the temple’s books after dealing with century 13 real estate?
Interesting factoid: the eye floating above the pyramid on a dollar bill, replicated in the background of this scene, is called the Eye of Providence.
I’m surprised no-one mentioned the vase by the door – I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to be a representation of the Lidless Eye, aka, the Eye of Sauron.
I think the flowers in the vase are supposed to be giant poppies, which might be an intentional pun (pop-eyes, see?).
I was looking at the statue, and it occurred to me that the orb could have an iris and pupil, turned facing down into the statue’s hand.
The marionette has the colors of the Golden Age Green Lantern, yes? And, according to the Wiki page I looked at to check the costume, GL Alan Scott lost an eye during the Infinite Crisis.
So everything in that room has a double name, or simply contains the word eye. Eye in statue – also a jewel. Potato eye’s. Still has another name. Eyeballs…you get the idea. So what is the one thing in the room that is just an eye, and has no other name?
Wow. That’s a lot of eyes.
That clinches it; whatever 84 is looking for, it involves a trick question. My first guess is that she is looking for the letter I.
People mentioned it in the other pages but nobody seemed to think it was the real answer; I am convinced she is looking for the eye of the needle.
No, no. She is looking for the *I*; it’s a finding yourself metaphor. She needs to disregard all the outer trappings and point at herself.
I indeed; and in DEED.
Many eyes in the room, none that I can see are just called “the eye”, you have the “all seeing eye” illuminati, the “eye of ra” Egypt, the “eye of Merlin”, an eye from the statue from the old first edition d&d book covers (trying to remember which book) it’s in the case below the painting of the “doctor’s eyes”, the glasses on the bench probably “eyes of hawk vision” or some such from D&D, NOTE: knitting needles to not have eyes. Ok, that’s enough for me, can’t wait to see what it ends up being.
I believe you are thinking of the Players Handbook
The D&D book you are referring to is the Player’s Handbook.
Who said it’s gotta be a trick question? Perhaps it’s more along the lines of a Last Crusade misdirection puzzle. In that case, heaven help her…
Alternately, it’s the one actual biological eye in the room full of replicas.
Is that Peter Capaldi’s eye in the portrait?
It does look like him.
Looks very much like it.
without at doubt. Specifically from Day of the Doctor . . . .
http://gfbrobot.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/the-day-of-the-doctor-twelfth-doctor.jpg
It is: http://i2.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article2846504.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Doctor_Who_50th_anniversary.jpg
It is, I recognized it instantly. XD
well, it is his independently angry eyebrows for certain.
It looks like Vigo from Ghost Busters II.
I’m just so glad that bowl of potatoes is there 🙂
Yes, that’s Peter Capaldi in his brief appearance in the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special.
I bet the answer will be a mirror: that in which anyone can see their own self, their “I”.
Potatoes, knitting needles, the dollar bill pyramid., drawstring shorts.. Wait, is that a Wii?
What’s more funny is that next to it is a jar… Wii-Ja(r) 😀
Looks like one. But that’s got two i’s, so it can’t be what she’s looking for.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who noticed that.
She has super-strength.
Pick up the building, hold it aloft, and wait to be snapped back to Reality.
Ideal outcome: “Hmmm, technically you DID bring me the Eye and you’ll make a good Opponent — after you get a bit more seasoning. I’ll be back in a century.”
One item is her limit. She would return with just the empty building.
Did they ever say that?
OK Julie, take a breath before you make any decisions. If this is fair at all then there must be a way of deciding on the real one.
Hmmm… not the letter, “I”… I suspect “I” as in “self.”
As pointed out last page, that wordplay wouldn’t make sense in any of the languages Kodashi or Veles would have spoken, and it would be really out of character for Kodashi to build a big magic setup like this for a journey of self discovery.
Also Baba Yaga said that the eye was called just that, nothing else. Where as Julie has a great many other things she is called.
So look for something with the inscription ‘Just That,” Julie.
An I-beam?
Wow… all those traps with trick questions and specific wording phrases and counter loop hole traps…. Just to have the last one be a giant screw ball attack.
Want an “eye” little girl? Have all the “eyes” except this one!
I think it’s an actual eyeball.
That’s something called an eye and nothing else.

Knitting needles don’t have eyes. Sewing needles do.

I don’t see anything that meets the “called that and nothing else” criteria.
I’m with Anon and Staredown. Take it all back, let Veles sort them out. ^_^
Why is there a banana strung up? Am I missing an “eye” pun there ?
The strung up banana is an “eye-catcher”, i.e. it draws your eyes/vision to it.
To me it resembles an ancient oil lamp. You pour oil into it and there would be a floating wick.
I’m not sure sure how you get an “eye” out of that though.
The banana is a hanging oil lamp. The burning wick hangs out the right side.
Archimedes! Have you seen that flying machine model?
I like the little plane, it reminds me of one on a very old Batman cover. The props are great.
The kind of answer really depends on whether this is a Campbell ‘hero’s’ quest where the hero fetches something back to help his people.

Well, if it were the eye of a magical egg, I might look for a yolk; however, Baba Yaga’s clue eliminates that. A glass eye would do the trick…
Of course, the spectacles would be a common sense answer, but, again, Baba Yaga’s clue precludes such…
“They eye is just THAT, called by NO OTHER NAME.”
Both Veles and Baba Yaga seems to be well in the know about what it is, and they both refer to it in singular form. Also, Grigor said:

What would be valuable to somebody able to construct such a magical egg?
Wouldn’t it take quite a bit of skill and eye for detail to make such a thing.
So … yea, I’ve got clues, but no eye-dea.
If it were a riddle based on one of the Slavic languages, it wouldn’t be translated into English, of necessity, and you’d have to solve it in the language in which it was conceived.

Oooh. I hate those. I tend to do badly on those tests (including IQ tests) because I start seeing all the relevant (and irrelevant) details that most people miss, and it screws me up.

Oh THANK YOU for gathering all those in one place on THIS page. Combined with Baba Yaga’s hint on the last page, we now have just about every bit of information at Julie’s disposal.
Is that the scarlet emerald Eye of Argon I see in that first picture?
I’m guessing the green jeweled egg. Julie is the ‘I’ in the egg as the egg floats in Veles’s hand, therefore the Egg and I.
The part about it only being called an eye makes me think it’s literally an eyeball. But then what’s clever about calling it an eye?
Because people will overthink it.
Well, if you can find the exact center of the egg, then that could be considered the eye, as in the eye of a storm being the center of a storm. It might be a location and not an object.
Grab the WII to get something,that isn’t toying with mortals, to entertain the bored god.

I’m wondering if it might be something akin to Dorian Grey. A self-portrait painted by the Undying, called ‘I’. At which point, it’s called that, and nothing else.
Could “calling” the eye be like calling a dog. If she yells “eye”, would the thing that comes to her be the eye “that is called by no other name”.
That is brilliant!
I like the jars of stuff. Eye of Newt anyone?
And then she realizes…. “*I* am at the center”
I can’t believe no one else thinks that what she was sent to get is the visual attention of Koschei on Vales.

There’s an eye-o-cane right next to the door.
But did Veles spend several years developing an immunity to Eye-O-Cane?
The TV, if running, could show the CBS eye logo.
All of the other questions were psycological. Maybe she just has to bring herself, I one thing, out.
Whoa, is that Ultra Boy? Kewl. http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/ignore_jpg_scale_medium/2/25838/490183-ultra_boy1.png
Well, there isn’t the usual logo on his chest… but if it is, it’s a pretty awful visual pun, considering that both Ultra Boy and Pinocchio were trapped inside whales.
At this point I think the eye is literally that, there’s an eyeball in there somewhere like the Eye of Vecna.
Heh. A truly chaotic individual would accept any eye from the room, since it would be proof that you got to the center, but making you sweat is half the fun.
The place looks like some kid’s room.
If you can take more than one thing, I’d pick up that cane with the golden orb on it just because it looks cool.
Isn’t that red gem in the case the same one used in the nodwick story to restore balance to the temple’s books after dealing with century 13 real estate?

also wtf just happened with the reply to myself thing?
Interesting factoid: the eye floating above the pyramid on a dollar bill, replicated in the background of this scene, is called the Eye of Providence.
I’m surprised no-one mentioned the vase by the door – I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to be a representation of the Lidless Eye, aka, the Eye of Sauron.
I think the flowers in the vase are supposed to be giant poppies, which might be an intentional pun (pop-eyes, see?).
I was looking at the statue, and it occurred to me that the orb could have an iris and pupil, turned facing down into the statue’s hand.
The marionette has the colors of the Golden Age Green Lantern, yes? And, according to the Wiki page I looked at to check the costume, GL Alan Scott lost an eye during the Infinite Crisis.
So everything in that room has a double name, or simply contains the word eye. Eye in statue – also a jewel. Potato eye’s. Still has another name. Eyeballs…you get the idea. So what is the one thing in the room that is just an eye, and has no other name?
