you’re thinking is wrong. You’re way off. 🙂 I didn’t think about the 1 is 2 thing, but no. 1 is 2. 331 != 332. ---

here’s my attempt: 331 \* 3 = 993 reversing so kinda spells egg (399). since 331 != 1 (331 is not the same as 1), you don’t change the number. sounds kinda sketchy, but that’s all i can think of right now. ---

Hm… I think there’s something with reversing 9 to 6 (heaven & hell). You know, 999 -\> 666, or something. Ugh, actually I have no idea. But I had that “who is he?” riddle from the first time. ---

yeah the answer is egg, but here’s the reason why. **In a world where 1 is 2, 5 is 5, and 8 is 7…** The world is a calculator… or a pager… where a 1 is composed of two lines. A 5 is made up of 5 sections and an 8 is made by 7 lines… So right there we are working with the block numbers from a calculator. 331 \* 3 = 993 reverse heaven and earth - EGG ---
