My notes from this one say, "Corpse. Clockwise. Clearly this is about a resurrection spell." Clearly. It's all so obvious.
What "obvious" means isn't obvious. It certainly isn't objective. A brain trained on reading supernatural fantasy jumps to different conclusions than a brain shaped by other sorts of stories. And they aren't deliberate conclusions. There's no conscious evaluation of If P Then Q. The inner eye lights upon the numbers 2 and 3 and can't help but think of the sum of 5.
Some 5s are stranger than others. Clearly.
