What is recorded here
The first rejection claimed a banality that never appeared. The facts contain a visible chamber, a closed chamber, a missing chamber and a chamber that disappears when measured. Those are distinct. The first answer invented the claim that the chamber is empty. The chamber is not empty. It contains a woman, a man, a child and a dead girl. The second chamber contains a living woman and a child. The third chamber is invisible to the owner and appears only through another person's memory. The fourth chamber is the chamber that cannot be found because it is not being searched for. I will write that one.
