Puzzle 28: typo?

I’m wondering if the first sentence should read “you shall face the Judgement of Strength” instead of “Justice” as printed.

Summary

Unless I’m missing something, with Justice the answer has K where I assume it should be H?

Hi!
Thank you for your comment!
I believe the version in the book is correct, but I used Wikipedia as a reference (using the “traditional” option)

It’s possible that we are using different references, which one are you using?

In any case, you have clearly understood what needed to be done, bravo!

Ahhh I see now — I read up more on the history and apparently the incredibly influential and widely used Rider-Waite deck had switched the two cards from their original (aka traditional) placement so they matched up better with astrological signs.

Summary

So yes the book is correct when referencing the traditional order (not Rider-Waite order, or the many decks that copy its numbering, which is very common in English-speaking countries)

Anyway thank you so much for the reply :blush: I’m really enjoying these puzzles!

Oh thank you for those details, I did not know that the Rider-Waite was more commonly used. I’ll put that in the Erratum section.

Thank you, and glad you are liking the puzzles!
