It's been a hundred years since the opening of this chapter, and Shmoop is still amazed at the grandeur of the palace. There are still many puzzles to be solved, he says. The first gate is called "the boogeyman" , and the second gate, called "lost and traps," is said to be like "a giant maze" . He decides to go into one of the first entrances to see if he can find a way out. He says he's a genius, but he doesn't expect he'll be back. He's fine, but it's going to take a long time to figure out how to get out of the lost and traps. He thinks they might find something on the stone column , which might give them a hint. They can listen to the sounds and feel the pulse, and then use the four diagnostic techniques to find out what the secret is.
