It was an interesting hoax though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone try so hard to keep it going.
As you can see from the e-book, there were a lot of people involved in investigating the hoax, so that no one person had to keep track of it all. Each person kept track of their areas and cut the puzzle pieces to shape, and then a few others took those pieces and put the puzzle together out of them.
It was a long hoax. It started in, as I recall, about March of 2010, and didn't end until after I released the book in December 2010 or January 2011.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
