.. First dining room riddle

With spring didst the New Year begin. The seasons broke the pattern. For every one, two were foregone. Three whole years this madness would last.

The other way to solve this is to look at the tattered banners.

With spring didst the New Year begin.

Start with spring (the flower tile) in the left.

The seasons broke the pattern. For every one, two were foregone.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter is the normal pattern, right?

So, for every one (Spring), skip two. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. So Winter is next.

Spring, Winter...

...Autumn, Summer
