    Quite the opposite. Ambiguity is not a discrete point, past which all clarity cease to exist. It is measured continuously on a spectrum. There are varying levels of ambiguity. Most animals { In this instance I am using 'Most' to describe a majority of types of animals as opposed to each individual animal {{ In this instance I am using the word 'type' ***Screw it! I'll never finish the sentence***}} A lot of animals, with brains can gleam USEFUL information from cloudy data.

    But you use the definitions of words that were not even presented. I say 'tomato' you say 'chair.' WTF?

    Nah bro. Although this is kind of fun, I don't have the time and this ain't the place.

    I was going to ask again if you understand the question or not, but I'm gonna go with 'maybe not' or 'That Osiris! He's a silly fellow.' So, just for you, here is a challenge.
    You say that there isn't a single MAIN CHARACTER that hasn't related a story of their past. Limit the characters to the ones listed, presented, enumerated in the original question.
    Now, tell me what story did they give about their past. Then compare the stories and the way they were given to the examples I gave.

    This is a Story: "Back when I was little, I used to enjoy watching Looney Toons while eating bacon. My older brother, Willie, would tease me, saying that if I kept eating so much bacon that I would someday make noises like a pig. Sometimes he would hold me down and draw cartoon characters on me with a marker. I would cry so hard that when our mother would come into the room my sobs made me stutter. Willie really got a kick out of making me talk like Porky Pig. One day I took a permanent marker and drew all over his face. Boy, did he really loose it." - Duncan Roberts

    EDIT: The real challenge in the original question isn't knowing what a particular character did. If it were, then one could simply zip through to any relevant part of the story to find the action, event, quote or what have you. Here, the challenge is to know the whole story or re-listen to the entire 50+- hours in order to find out what did not happen.
