Help please and thank you

Hello, it's me again

▼Spoiler

I have a photocopy of the ID. but I've tried to put it on (or scale it on) puzzle 31. But I don't get anything closer to a word.

And if I instead looking for the third of those eye symbols, then I counted this one (puzzle 33) as the third.

So what am I missing here?

The start of the trail is obvious. You need to find the place where to place it. Think ball and socket joint.

Re: Help please and thank you

Me too. Still stuck. I think I got the basic idea but don't know where to apply it.

▼Spoiler

How do I find the 'third location'. It can relate to a lot of things but none of them seem to give any viable answer.

▼Spoiler

Your definition of obvious and mine and clashing right now. Wish that weren’t true.

Does it need to be resized to the same as puzzle 31? Still hasn’t helped over there though

I’m still stuck on this one. Any help?

Major hint:

▼Spoiler

Nothing needs to be resized. The start of the trail is on the left, a point slightly thicker than the rest of the trail. The start of the trail needs to be placed somewhere appropriate: as it's round, it must be placed on something round. You'll need to have the choice of at least three such locations. Are we now on the same page? wink

Most puzzles don't require you to look elsewhere. On this page, you have four obvious spots where to place the start of the trail.

You've placed the signature so it begins at the third location (of four)? Then follow where it goes. It’s about the journey, not the destination.

If you use a very precise tracing and take all letters it touches in order of when it touches them (following along the loops and all) you should get a three word sentence that starts with TR. One place, it takes three letters in a row. Interpreting the statement gives you the one word answer.

Everything you need is on the page - you don't need anything else at all. Just follow the brief.

▼Spoiler

Thin paper to help you trace might be useful, though.
