Carina = adult? human? female? Did she whistle a musical tune? Did she whistle some signal? Is it relevant what she whistled? or is the act of whistling in itself relevant? | ||

Relevant where she walks? Desert? Tropics? Tropical forests? US? Did whistling have any positive effect on her? Mentally? Physically? | ||

Was she purposely whistling? Was she whistling through her mouth/nose? Was something else on her person whistling? | ||

Whe=we? or was 'whe' the name of an athlete in a competitive Race Walking event that Carina knew and whom she was supporting on the sidelines on this very hot day of which she gave him support by whistling to him the song 'It's a cool day after all' in order to help him feel more comfortable while he was completing the race? ;) | ||

Hi Felicia Nimue So we have here a slave carrying a meal from a kitchen building to her master who is in another building? and normally he would be able to see her so that he would know if she was eating/drinking anything? but because it was hot he was not able to see her for some reason? and so he told her to whistle to prove she was not eating/drinking? and now we have to find out exactly why he could not see her? and how that links in with it being hot? the new situation - is it that he is now inside a building when, with cooler weather, he would be outside? is it that he has drawn the blinds/curtains/shuitters to keep the sun out so he can no longer see her? is it tha he is in a different part of the building so he could no longer see her? would he normally sit by the window but it is too hot to do so now? | ||

(Sorry, we were on track a while back with this, and veered off.) So, if the weather wasn't hot, the owner would be able to see the slave clearly? Is it daytime? Or nighttime? | ||

Is the owner inside a building? Inside a carriage? Under a shelter from the sun? Under a tree? Inside something cooling? In water? | ||

Is the place Carina goes to... inside the house? outside? inside another house/shed/sort of building? Does she go directly to the slave owner, so meet him in person? Does she just put the meal somewhere? Does she have to whistle on her way back? Does the hot climate change... the owners position? his clothing? something about the lunch Carina carries? | ||

HINT: The absence of slavery is not the only reason this puzzle would not apply nowadays. | ||

Does this hint refer to: the buildings? the food/drink? the objects Carina is using? what Carina is doing (admit she was a housemaid but not a slave)? | ||

Was the kitchen (the residence building?) provided with a cooling device that you would not find nowadays? If we transfer the story to nowadays: Carina is a housemaid her employer is mean and doesn't want her to eat anything of his food. The layout of the buildings could still be the same? the buildings are likely to have an air conditioner? Carina does still have to walk? to whistle? | ||

Is the fact that the kitchen is seperated from the residence building relevant? is this due to the hot climate? Is there any relevant object between the buildings? Is the distance between these buildings relevant? more than 1? 2? 5? 10? 20? 50? 100? 200? 500? meter? Is the architectural style of the kitchen building relevant? of the other building? | ||

Slaves who brought the food were supposedly required to whistle to show they weren't eating the food.Thanks for sticking with it, everyone, & for solving it, Tobasi, & please direct those clever lateral minds to my new puzzle at the bottom of the page |
