Deeper in the Rabbit Hole

Continuing on from my previous post, we left off with the following cluster:

• “__, __,  March 25(x2), April 25(x2), May 25(x2), June 25(x3), July 25 , August 25(x2), __, October 25(x4), __, December 25(x3)/Date Sequence” pattern-cluster. 

 Only 4 gaps to complete the cluster.
I’ll bridge the September 25th gap first using the formula  we arrive at:

• 1777 – Johann Heinrich Lambert, mathematician, physicist, astronomer (b. 1728)
• 1999 – Marion Zimmer Bradley, American author (b. 1930)

Note from their wiki pages:

• Johann Heinrich Lambert ( 26 August 1728 – 25 September 1777) 
• Marion Eleanor Zimmer Bradley (June 3, 1930 – September 25, 1999)

Lamberts birthday stands out given that it’s an addition to the “Off by One” pattern cluster, as in one off from my granddaughters birthday of August 25... that’s also part of the above cluster.  This cluster prompts us to investigate the “one off” notable persons in the lists immediately above and below Lambert and Bradley.  On doing so, one stands out:

• 1997 – Jean Françaix, French pianist, composer, and conductor (b. 1912)

He surname contains a cryptic “frank” that connects with the “Frank” pattern-cluster (re Aretha Franklin) in my previous post, note from his wiki page:

Jean René Désiré Françaix (23 May 1912 – 25 September 1997)

His middle name and surname gives us a cryptic “desire frank/truth”, AND,  his birthday falls on the day of the year that has 222 days remaining, and so another addition to the “Identical Number Sequence” pattern cluster.  

Second, bridging the January 25 gap, using the formula  and taking into consideration the “one off” curve ball, we arrive at:

• 1999 – Sarah Louise Delany, American author and educator (b. 1889)
• 1999 – Robert Shaw, American conductor (b. 1916)
• 2001 – Alice Ambrose, American philosopher and logician (b. 1906)

Note from their wiki pages:

• Sarah Louise "Sadie" Delany (September 19, 1889 – January 25, 1999) 
• Robert Shaw (30 April 1916 – 25 January 1999) saw
• Alice Ambrose Lazerowitz (November 25, 1906 – January 25, 2001) 

 Note the cryptic elements in the names re “sad die”... and “saw” (Shaw being an addition to the “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern-cluster.  And then we have Lazerowitz’s birthday that bridges the November 25 gap in the cluster.  And so the next gap to bridge brings us to the  February 25 wiki page, and to the following:

• 1888 – Josif Pančić, Serbian botanist and academic (b. 1814)
• 1999 – Glenn T. Seaborg, American chemist and academic, Nobel Prize laureate (b. 1912)

 Both stand out, Pancic being another addition to the “Remove a Letter Makes a Word” pattern-cluster... as in remove the first “c” makes “panic”; and then we also have a cryptic phrase re “see sea Borg”.  Note from their wiki pages:

• Josif Pančić (April 17, 1814 – February 25, 1888) panic
• Glenn Theodore Seaborg (April 19, 1912 – February 25, 1999) 

And NOW things get dicey!!  April 17 is my son in laws birthday, and so an addition to the “Targeting Family Birthdays” pattern-cluster.  And Seaborg’s birthday generates an “April 17(x2), __, 19/Date Sequence” pattern-cluster.   There are two dates to investigate in this cluster— we are looking for a third April 17 and an april 18... cutting to the chase, the April 17 wiki page using the formula as per usual brings us to:

•  Ephraim George Squier (June 17, 1821 – April 17, 1888)

His birthday and date of death generates an “April 17(x3), __, June 17/ 17th Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.   Since the June 17 wiki page has no deaths listed in 1999 or 2000, we turn to the Notable birth that occurred in 1888, note from his wiki page:

• George Edward "Duffy" Lewis (April 18, 1888 – June 17, 1979)

And June 17 crops up yet again... what are the chances of that!?  “April 17(x3), __, June 17(x2)/ 17th Day, Month Sequence” pattern-cluster.
