{{#spoiler:show=Solve Path (Part 2)| Now that the four-leaf clovers have been used, one other odd thing solvers should notice are the oddly-shaped two-leaf clovers (another not-too-common variant). Each leaf's long edge points in one of the 8 ordinal or cardinal directions. This paired with the fact that there are always two different directions being pointed to clues to [[semaphore]], a common method of [[decryption]] involving pairs of directions. The two-leaf clovers are arranged on the page approximately into two lines of length 6 and 5. Reading each line using semaphore yields POTATO STATE, which is a clue for the part 2 answer.}}
