 As joyous an occasion it is to publicly proclaim your Answer, it is equally disastrous to solve another person's Question, whether deliberately or accidentally.

The punishment becomes even worse when knowledgeable and helpful scholars remain tight-lipped, stonewalling questions with a disapproving glance and heavy sigh. Only two people have successfully returned from these travails: [[Quezlar 6]] and Andelphracia, having both answered the other's Question, also worked together to solve their newly assigned Mysteries.

 Whatever the Question, the importance of its Answer is reiterated regularly as the young mature.
