For each image, one of the feeders is the name of a street in the indicated city (ignoring the street/avenue/road/etc. suffix). This corresponds to the horizontal street along the top of the image. The number at the upper intersection can be interpreted as an address along that street; by consulting a map, one can find the name of the crossing street at that address. This corresponds to the vertical street in the image.
City | Street address | Crossing street |
---|---|---|
Austin, TX | 901 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. | Pearl St. |
Houston, TX | 12685 Rip Van Winkle Dr. | Memorial Dr. |
Jacksonville, FL | 8331 Golden Bamboo Dr. | Garden St. |
Pittsburgh, PA | 1146 Oak Grove St. | Raymond St. |
San Francisco, CA | 1654 Bacon St. | Harvard St. |
Each of these crossing streets has the same name as a street in Cambridge, MA (as hinted by the flavortext about the Ministers winding up back where they started). The next step is to use the number at the lower intersection as an address on the street in Cambridge, and find the crossing street there. These street names should fit into the provided boxes.
City | Street address | Crossing street | Highlighted letters |
---|---|---|---|
Cambridge, MA | 156 Pearl St. | Valentine St. | ENI |
Cambridge, MA | 70 Memorial Dr. | Wadsworth St. | DTH |
Cambridge, MA | 118 Garden St. | Winslow St. | INW |
Cambridge, MA | 87 Raymond St. | Bellevue Ave. | EVE |
Cambridge, MA | 371 Harvard St. | Trowbridge St. | WID |
These trigrams can be reordered and linked together, overlapping by one letter, to form the answer, EVEN IN WIDTH.
