Cedar, Laurel Ulmus, Beech: take these trees and cut the root...
1 of 3: The full riddle is, "Cedar, Laurel, Ulmus, Beech -- Take these trees and cut the root. The words must go; take aim and shoot. Then join their trunks to make a weapon. There, by the bulkhead, it's ready for action. Of all those I see, it's the newest, I believe."
2 of 3: This riddle is, perhaps, the most cryptic of them all. The clues are not obvious, nor is there an apparent reference to anything obviously in the room.
3 of 3: There are actually two separate ways to get the answer to this question. One uses wordplay, the other uses some cleverness on Mina's part.
