在玩第三關時.
有一個謎題的答案是 Fleur-de-Lis (鳶尾花形紋章,舊時法蘭西王室紋章)[2]
超像童軍徽的耶 *^^*
查了一下 wikipedia
Fleur-de-lis [3]
The fleur-de-lis (also spelled fleur-de-lys; plural fleurs-de-lis or -lys;
an archaic spelling is fleur-de-luce) is used in heraldry, where it is
particularly associated with the French monarchy (see King of France). The
fleur-de-lis remains an unofficial symbol of France (along with the bees
and the Napoleonic eagle), but has not been used as an official symbol by
the various French republics. It is also used by various Scout organizations
worldwide as part of their logo.
....
The fleur-de-lis is the major element in the logo of most Scouting organi-
zations. In that usage, it is considered to represent the outdoors, which
is a major theme in Scouting. The symbol is also often used on a compass
rose to mark the north direction.
Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of the
scouting movement, explained that the scouts adopted the fleur-de-lis symbol
from its use in the compass rose because it "points in the right direction
(and upwards) turning neither to the right nor left, since these lead backward
again". In addition, The Madison Scouts (which has distant relations with
the Boy Scouts of America) is a Drum and Bugle Corps group which parades its
symbol; the fleur-de-lis.
