h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering where I got Bangladesh I was thinking of the Old Movie Lost Horizons, the title character was supposed to be evacuated on a poet in the Pacific but the plane was hijacked and went "The other way" I was going to say tibet then thought no I need some place on sea level hence Bangladesh.

post 281 is a continuation of the thought in post 280 where I guessed

the sound is an egg washing facility in Bangladesh.

and I note the title clue is a past tense statemet tied to a present tense question by a comma. Obviously only poets and poor grammarians would do something like that.

probably some lyric that never made it to America.

now it is Clive's turn to keep us waiting I note it has been 42 minutes since he posted.
If you want to be a good follower of DNA post before it becomes 43.

to late- now it is 44 minutes

just5 for the record- this is my eleventh post since I heard back.

now I wait

I stepped away from the computer for a brief moment, will go back now to review all the new posts.

I see now.

"Perfection lies within" - do not refer to eggs as a superfood.


The Sound is not an egg-washer or candleer.


The recording is not being made under-water but in open air.

The Sound is not in Bangladesh - but that's a lot closer than London, Ireland, or Port Huron,MI. Lhasa is marginally further away again... but depending or where you were stood within China, relative to Bangladesh you'd be either closer or further away from The Sound.

>>I note the title clue is a past tense statement tied to a present tense question by a comma. Obviously only poets and poor grammarians would do something like that.<<

I claim to be neither!

Possibly becuase I'm trying to hide something in there and it's not a real sentence, as you rightly suspect.

Would you like another clue to help with the title clue?

Oh! go on then if you instst

"Perfection lay within, or I am already here?" (5)

There y'go.

maybe we should go where the words I AM were first spoken - that is to Jabel Musa(the mountain of Moses, referred in scripture as Mt. Sinai) in the Sinai Peninsula.

If you believe in that sort of thing...

Egypt is the closest guess yet but still long way off..

(5) tells me exactly nothing. Is it the fifth line of a lyric?

(5) tell you how many letters are in the word you're trying to work out.

Maybe something by "Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs?"

Nope.

OK going to number is words
Perfectio 10, lay 3,within 6 or 2 I 1 am 2 already 7 here 4
listing these 10 3 6 2 1 2 7 4 5
