Tracing the pieces of the Planispheric Disk

[rocksunner]

The pieces of the Planispheric Disk do some odd things when you look at their shapes carefully. The friars in Theater of Doom saw two pieces marked with "U" shapes. But one of those pieces ends up on the galleon in the mountains, and a piece with a triangle mark ends up in the sea. The other was in the cheese, as expected.







Also, in All Fear the Freak the piece Velma takes into the caves is not the Darrow piece, but the Jones piece that should have been in the hands of Pericles.

Are these animation blunders or is there a further mystery here? What is the true history of the pieces?

(I've worked up an explanation for the Fraternitas Mysterium pieces for my story "Disk Mania" on fanfiction.net.)

Dude, you have a VERY keen eye. They all looked the same to me. I never would have thought to thoroughly examine them like that...

Another interesting detail is to look for crystal door-knobs. There are two we can see on the galleon in the mountain. I'm not sure if the front doors of the Burlington Library have them (there are supposed to be door-knobs like that somewhere in the building).

I've also explained the Darrow piece/Jones piece swap (as best I can) in the last chapter of "Disk Mania."
