And then Genji was like "what if somebody does."
Well... what if somebody does? Hell, by not exposing that she'd solved it, "Beatrice" just
leaves open the possibility. And then by
challenging others to solve it... hell, does that make a lick of sense to you?
"Oh it was created for this purpose."
"Great! It fulfilled its purpose."
"Okay, now let's challenge everybody to solve it."
"Why? We already got what we needed out of it."
Sure, she can
want somebody else to solve it instead, but then her behavior is very strange and passive-aggressive.
EDIT: I like the episode. But anyone who was taken for a ride by it is far too trusting.
EDIT EDIT: Also, "Kinzo doesn't think anyone can solve it" is apparently a gross underestimation of his children and grandchildren, as we know it exists within Eva and possibly Rosa to solve the epitaph outright. The adults actually bothering causes them to solve it right away. How is that impossible? Kinzo must not be anywhere near as good at this as he thinks.
