If she had put it down at any other angle, it wouldn't have been nearly so dramatic. | ||

Was she at a social gathering? Did she intensionally put it down at that angle? Was the dramatic angle between object and table? object and floor? Object and another person? The angle she obtained in the act of putting it down? Other? Is the location, time frame, specifics of the gathering, her age relevant? | ||

Was she at a social gathering? no Did she intensionally put it down at that angle? yes, I imagine so. Was the dramatic angle between object and table? object and floor? Object and another person? this The angle she obtained in the act of putting it down? Other? Is the location, time frame, specifics of the gathering, her age relevant? only location. It = mirror? flooring material? picture? none of these Angle = horizontal? vertical? neither of these, as John suggested it is more to do with the angle between the object and another person. | ||

When she put it down, did it appear as if she were trying to indicate something about another person? Like if the object in some way resembled an arrow, and she unknowingly (or maybe knowingly) laid it down in such a way that it would "point" to someone... | ||

Could "it" actually have been placed at a different angle? Does the changing amount of drama have anything to do with the "meaning" of "it"? Would it have a different meaning if it were at a different angle? Would it have no meaning? Was "it" tangible? Was it a card of some sort? Does this have anything to do with tarot cards? Or tarot readings? | ||

Does it have a magnifying effect? Since only part of it is transparent, does it reveal one specific part of the person that is dramatic (e.g. it has a little window in it, through which you can only see someone's left boob)? Does the light refract off it in an important way? | ||

Does the woman work at the location? Or the person to whom the angle is relevant? By saying that it is close to a restaurant, do you mean that it serves food? Serves beverages? People eat there? People sit around at tables there? Is it a banquet hall? A bar? A coffee shop? The music that would be played there, would it be a recording? Or played by a live musician(s)? Would it be a prominent feature of what is going on? Or background noise? Dinner music? Is it a drinking glass? A vase? | ||

Is the glass symmetrical? Was the relevance of the angle... the angle of the handle? something about the glass's horizontal rotation? The way it was or wasn't tipping? the angle it formed with another object or the edge of the bar? The angle that could be seen through the beer?

What I meant was, was the writing on the bottom text? Written in one direction? And the angle she set it at was to make sure the writing was turned towards him to be right side up? Either right side up from where he was sitting? Or right side up when he was drinking it? Was it meant to be read by him? Or was it written in such a way that it was meant to be read by someone else in the bar? Such as someone sitting across from him at the table? Or was it text at all? Was it a drawing?

"This beer was poisoned"? Yes! Well, close enough for a... ***SPOILER*** This is from an episode of 'The Prisoner' (the episode 'the girl who was death'). The main character goes into a bar and asks for his usual. The bartender puts the beer down on the bar. He picks it up and as he drinks it he gradually reveals the words (one by one) on the bottom of the glass: You have just been poisoned And suddenly there is dramatic music etc. My only problem was that if she had put the glass down at any other angle, the message would have appeared sideways or upside down, and it wouldn't have been nearly so dramatic! Thanks for puzzling! | ||

New member Username: Noel Post Number: 523 Registered: 7-2009 |
Ah, I see what you mean by dramatic, now. The slow reveal as he drank the beer was what I was missing. I was picturing something see-through like Bud Light or something. I take it he was drinking something dark? | ||
