After Elisa solved clue one (in the previous post), it led her to where this clue was hidden. This one I don’t expect anyone else to solve. (I’m afraid the clue was a little weak). Elisa solved it, but I had to give some hints.

Papi hid perplexing hints, skipping even-numbered appearing words. Apply your purpose and perception to apocryphal patterns. Principally listening supplies your epiphany. Thus prepared, find propitious matches apprehended on paper one. Perhaps more appears than people previously supposed in principal clues, apparently still dripping secrets.

Papi is one of my nicknames around the house. And here are the hints I gave her, in case you want to try to solve it too.

1. If you don’t know exactly what you are looking for in the first clue, then you’ll never find it.
2. The “even-numbered” reference means the second, fourth, sixth, etc. words in the above paragraph.
3. You have to be really precise on what the pattern is, to narrow down the matches in the first clue.

With that Elisa came up with the answer and ran straight to her present. (The present was OK, but she liked the treasure hunt more). 🙂
