I think the child was stillborn because the No God was resurrected in between the two births.

This.I think when Malowebi asks Meppa what he is and he replys, "Weary". Says a lot about Kellhus's human nature.
You might be reading too much into this. When he returns to Momemn in The Judging Eye (or was it WLW?) to see Psatma Nannaferi, he's exhausted purely because of the exertion of travelling that distance by teleportation. And that journey was much shorter. I think he was simply tired because of that.
While that is plausible, why say "weary" when he meant "tired" or "exhausted." No, to me weary has a whole different connotation than either of those others and so it seems wholly reasonable to draw the inference that MSJ did from his choice of words. Being weary isn't just being tired.
Also, I'm not buying anything we see of Kellhus that doesn't come from his own POV. He never stops dissembling. Ever. And we as readers only get the perspective of the POV character, only ever able to *guess* at what's really going on in his head even after 6 books.
ETA: also, Kellhus want really tired after travelling in TJE. He just pretended to be too manipulate Esme. He always makes an effort to appear at least somewhat human with her so that she will stay in her place.
You are the fist that beats us.
Well, you're contradicting yourself in your own response. Your saying Kellhus faked Bering tired to Esme when he travelled all the way from the Ordeal. Yet, weary, just means tired when he travels back in TGO. Kellhus has never seemed "tired" at anytime I can recall, he is superhuman. He is weary because of the twists, turns and constant head games he has to play, in order to reach his goal. There are bits and pieces throughout TSA that show that Kellhus had these emotions and are what motivate him, he just doesn't ruminate on them because he doesn't think he should have them. One question? If Kellhus didn't care, why wouldn't he just say the he'll with everyone else's soul and join the Consult? He wouldn't need an Ordeal, he could reduce Earwa population on his own with his army and schoolmen. He's weary because he has a job to do for humanity, that no matter how awful it seems now, no matter how many dead fall in his wake, he will accomplish a world without the Consult and the certainty of damnation. He's weary!

Bakker stepped up the archaic language this time. That is bound to be a big hindrance to non-native speakers. Kind of annoys me when authors do that. If "Sooth" wasn't in the vocabulary at the start why should it be now?
You know, riddles don't traditionally have an incredibly mathy answer. Indeed that's usually the trap option. Usually they are supposed to be able to be answered by common knowledge - that's what makes them a challenge to everyone and not just a specialist few. It seems odd to me to have one with a very mathy answer
Here's a video - the customer is a bit(?) bitchy but he has a point : https://youtu.be/HFJlgrtpGZY?t=89
I can't say I will never have a dyslexic (or is it dyscalculic?) moment. But the manager saying they definitely recognizes the difference between half a dollar and half a cent, but says they plainly don't recognize a difference between $0.002 and 0.002 cents - that's (waaaait for it!) priceless.
I don't know what a perfect clock is. Does that mean that the gears are independent and the gears are infinitely small so that the hand swings perfectly without pause?
Well, I don't do math, but shouldn't this be solvable by graphing the fiction of degrees of the hour hand versus time and the degrees of the minute hand by time?This is another way of doing it. The answers are the same as mine.(click to show/hide)
Anyway, have you ever done programming? You can often describe in a single sentence what it takes a page or several pages of code to do in a program. Why would that be so if shorter versions describe things in a better way?
we are trying to make it "more precise" - which I interpreted as more easily leads the reader to the answer.
