Oh my GOD that looks amazing
And it was made today 🙌🙌
other side as well
82 = R
48 = 0
I’m on mobile. Can someone please have a look for any pixel alterations in the corners or edges?
his shoe pattern kinda makes Xs
also is this a new model for the AK
cause I like it
looks like a an94
X egg, reproductive cell? but it goes a bit off topic
Look what flag is second from the left on the bottom row. This is on the Crux (Southern Cross) Wikipedia page.
Crux () is a constellation of the southern sky that is centred on four bright stars in a cross-shaped asterism commonly known as the Southern Cross. It lies on the southern end of the Milky Way's visible band. The name Crux is Latin for cross. Even though it is the smallest of all 88 modern constellations, Crux is among the most easily distingu...
Yeah, but it still has the AK selector lever
This is what I mean by the Crux symbolism
I mean it might just be the reflection but whatever is going on in the right eye is weird
looks like a VX at the bottom
wonder what this is
I see an omega symbol on there which could be related to something
can't quite make this out
Possible paths: Archimedes, gold, constellations (Crux), Australia?
48/22 I got
but it doesn't change my theory
110D631
might be 110 divided by 631
which gives us a rational number (not repeating to infinity)
0.17432647
17432647 gives a shifter for a 1996 Eldorado 
the same goes with 82/28, or 48/22
"Of the Elements, book 10 is by far the largest and most complex, dealing with irrational numbers..."
AGDCBFDG
so it could just be an elements reference again
Oh new art, let me repost everything, brb
If letters, it could be music
interesting that they're being weighed
Anywhere we don’t have numbers over 7 we should consider musical notes
The official art channel never pings me, even do i have notifications set to always, dunno why
it's four letters
UNNN
or UNN?
62/48 in the first and 46/X2 (possibly 62) in the second? (or left and right sides)
N Ø
^
my guess is XV is 15, 15 is O so;
O = Ø
oh yeah, it's an XV not an N, see it now
nice to have you back
🫡
Almost, but then I just took some detours playing some other games as I was waiting for this tier to be over, but seeing as my vacation started today and a new image dropped
I decided to jump in
Yea, zooming in without photoshop makes it clearer
totally agree on 84 and 22, and the others being some kind of 46 or 48
JNNN or UNNN seems to be the most probable
Is that another 0 between the last two Ns??
there's also a 5 or an S on the gun, but it might just be S for shoot or secure? As the lever thing seems to be able to move to it
there is some kind of circle there yes
Just left of that red line - a O with a line through it
(On iPad I can’t create it)
Ø
Oh yes I can!
Yeah, apple keyboards has this great feature of just holding in the key to get all possible variations
It's an Ö in norwegian
or the null symbol... i think?
No, it’s a Smart Keyboard, but I can use the option key to do it
It almost looks like Øø
With the little one right above Giriko’s red line
Big zero little zero 
Yeah, I think it’s called “null” right?
Maybe something in that
Diameter symbol too
Must be this one:
Ø, the solo identity of Finnish musician Mika Vainio of electronic music band Pan Sonic
Didn't you have a VM guy earlier? Van Morrison or something?
and this is a direct reference to the last boss of X-Zone in Sonic Advance, Egg X (https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Egg_X)
The slashed zero is a representation of the Arabic digit "0" (zero) with a slash through it.

Worth having a read of this. Rob is using it for a reason, I’d say
have someone cracked this code thing on the bottom of the sword hilt?
Represent! 
Oof. GL with that!
Part of me likes to imagine that these things are super clear on Rob’s computer and then he just saves it as some low res file by mistake, and one day he’ll realise and all the clues will become crystal clear
yep yep, or they are downscaled to fit the upload to discord and totally forgets that the compression ruins the readability of the clues 🫠
Just saw that the name of the image is "Keep It Simple"
Which probably means that you people have been way outside of the realm of Occam's Razor
It’s another Van Morrison album name
You people, as the ones who never left. The iron-willed ones
Did this and google image searched it, and it led me here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ae/Symbol_Orifice_valve.svg/1280px-Symbol_Orifice_valve.svg.png
Also, not sure if it has been brought up earlier, but there is this wave pattern around the person
Maybe that relates to something from earlier?
Also, found this in the void
Also this
Oh, it was even longer. There's a whole ass equaiton hidden at the top of the image (if it wasn't known)
Best attempt at the entire equation so far, not sure how to make it easier to see 😅
s for safety ?
There's also this kind of egg shaped graph going on with a peak at the | that marks the middle of the image
Yep, it starts with a square root and L to the power of 2 + 8 and two variables
No idea, but good find!

Here's what I meant by the constellation Crux lining up pretty well on the image
sqrt(L^2)+8wx | Spot (L^2) + 4x | and something on the last part
I'll take a look at the Sagittarius one now too. But the Crux one and the Australian sports oval could just be telling us an "oval in the southern hemisphere" which the GRS on Jupiter would be
Yes
Brown Eyed Girl was released in June 1967, was it not?
"It was released as a single in mid-June 1967" 🤔 24th would not be mid-June though
It would be from a game developer's point of view 
For the X egg I searched 10 Oval and it comes up with a drug
Pill with imprint 10 is White, Elliptical/Oval and has been identified as Atorvastatin Calcium 10 mg. It is supplied by Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Dear God I just stumbled on this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic-curve_cryptography
Elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) is an approach to public-key cryptography based on the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields. ECC allows smaller keys compared to non-EC cryptography (based on plain Galois fields) to provide equivalent security.Elliptic curves are applicable for key agreement, digital signatures, pseudo-rand...
Frightening!
yeah I cant even... just na
Not that uncommon, it's how parents try to decide what the weird pills they have found means
could relate to Matrix pill
The tattoo on fingers, previous was we think TITUS. Being roman this could be too, so it couldnt be **U **so could be ? O N N V.
V in roman means U now, so ? O N N U. There is a french word connu that means "known" in english.
woho new picture!

oh that looks really good
The Colosseum ( KOL-ə-SEE-əm; Italian: Colosseo [kolosˈsɛːo]) is an oval amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, just east of the Roman Forum.

Flex are you okay

Gonna have to start putting the dates we've went insane on the timeline
What do you want yours to be Darnoux
I spent most of the time locked in a dark room so getting new artwork feels like fresh air
When did you go insane with the EE hunt
I can mark you down for September 23rd, 2023.

Nothing since it hasn't happened yet
I went insane not by the actual hunt, but when 1064 was the answer and not aethusa 🥹
Peak
It looks like its cut up
yeah, my | was meant to simulate three different parts, sorry if it was unclear 😅
I'll mark you down for December 21st, 2022 15:43EST.

The EE community that suffers together stays together. 
I cannot read this so could be toast
I'm not gonna lie I cannot see anything there
I see it, could be 915 or my brain is making up stuff
to me looks like CA π
I think its supposed to be read like this.. Don't know what it is though
oh wow, you are risk Resk
That thing at the end is actually the beginning of the squareroot
It does say Spot before the middle L2 + 4x part, I'm 85% sure... But has no clue what it would mean
backreading, really good finds hunters!
Welcome Spear
@latent peak I can give you the psd if you want as I know this is normally your thing ❤️

Thanks this is great! I'll just cut your stuff for my own psd ❤️
okee, its a tidy project if you doo want it
It looks like it's in the font that Wikipedia uses for formulas, so it should be findable... he says with confidence
Yes please ! : D
dm'ed
My guess is it will show us a nice egg shape

I just tried entering a password with nothing written - nope.
so its the same as the rifle code;
o = Ø

woohoo 😄
good night, was a great EEvening
good night!
gn!
Here's an updated version of Flex4d's image. Including the things we solved
Nice job!
Oh shoot, that's a lot of progress
Good job everyone!
o = Ø
if we can figure this out, I think we've got this
Where to go with egg equation from here? I think Kepler.
I think O = 0 = o = 0 is strongly connected
I just noticed the left and bottom sides of the image have an extra line of pixels
rogue white dot here?
Sorry that was me. Accidently stood in front of the render for a couple of seconds
Good morning Dar
Yeah, that caught my attention too
I wonder if the matrix lead could have something to do with matrices
Whoa. Slightly frightening eggs!
I reckon today is the day.
Tier 1D, your time is up.
Grammatically incorrect gif. Oof.
they're still looking for the guy who fell 
“Fell” 😂
I'm trying to figure out what the "correct" interpretation of the ⌀ could be
and why it's the "same" as the Os and 0s and os
Empty set. Asteroid with rings?
it doesn't have an ASCII symbol
so maybe it's Rob's way of telling us that all the Os are just ⌀s ?
which he can't translate from ascii?
interesting that they're "weighed" the same
as in they're the same value, or the same thing
same with O=0=o=0
Same value but not exactly the same
Rob seems to imply that they're the same though
I don't think it's the symbol, but more the shape
I don't know if it helps but this one Unicode was classified as nul
Nul is just everything which doesn't have a unicode
Ah okay
Im with you on this. Like all the shapes, ovals, ellipses, colluseum are all the same somehow ? maybe in some mathematical way
Rob reaction
I think the colosseum stuff are references to Ovals/ellipses?
ooooh
but also the naming of the Colosseum, which I think I mentioned before
Named after Colossus Solis?
(statue of Nero renamed after the Sun God Helios)
or not, hahaha
okay, Ovals then
Haha
okay now Rob is gonna come in and remind us that it's both, in fact 🤣
Ahw
BUT remember that I always try to find multiple links to every clue, otherwise the web wouldn't be that interesting... ._.
I know, it's also more challenging for me to find fun and interesting clues... I think for example the little dinosaur had 4 links and 1 tribute... ._. (you found 1 link and the tribute)
Tribute? as in reference to another of your works?
Ah yeah, fish you found Titus the dinosaur right ?
Yes, but not too sure if that's a tribute
It can be small shoutouts to other games, other studios etc... not sure anyone figure them out, but if people do it might make them smile, and that is always something to strive for... I know that RHB figured out a couple of them and mentioned them in his great videos.!
BTW you are all doing great, it's super fun to follow and really impressive to see how many things you actually figure out (even if it takes sooooome extra time every now and then... ._.).!
KEEP IT UP and HF.!
good to know we weren't expected to find EVERYTHING
feeling a bit under the weather for the past few days, so this is something really nice to do instead of wasting away in bed 
get well soon! flu season has been horrible over here as well
Good morning all!
Are you guys good at math ?
Since theres a couple of X's in this tier it could be Euclids Tenth Book.
Its the one about the incommensurable.
I just dont know what to do with this
so like the Xth?
Yeah
irrational numbers
110/631
82/48
48/22
etc...?
(those are all rational btw)
Could someone check this area please, (I’m on phone) I can see shapes I think
?
TIL that a hiking loop track in New Zealand (that I have been on!) was named after Johannes Kepler 
it's pretty visible in the editor here, but might not come across well in screenshot
Yeah, definitely visible
have we "solved" that yet?
There's this XV down to the right of the guys foot
Looks like it’s on another scale
I would say that the graph line is just the graph of an egg shape, it seems oval
it does continue here
Here's the best I've made it visible
all orbits are Ovals of some sort
but are we looking for a specific object with that orbit maybe?
It's goes down a bit more on the right side, but my monitor isn't big enough to show it all at once 🤷
xv=15
Ah I didn’t investigate that one, you did post it yesterday. Could you mark its location? #easter-eggs message
seems like a pretty solid connection but we shouldn't leave out other options too
I agree
O: "The name of the Phoenician letter was ʿeyn, meaning "eye", and indeed its shape originates simply as a drawing of a human eye"
hmmm
Unfortunatily i cant edit an upload so ill reupload here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_triangle another interesting thing
With the Eureka sports oval being 👀 by Rob, I wonder if the answer relates to something that is IRL egg-shaped. Here’s some examples: https://www.archipanic.com/10-egg-shaped-architectures/
I think due to the 👀 on this one, it's more likely referring to the abstract idea of ovals rather than physical structures
With the Empty set symbol being a possibility, also interesting that "elements" are objects belonging to a set
Another IRL egg-shape https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlington_Raceway
Darlington Raceway is a race track built for NASCAR racing located in Darlington, South Carolina. It is nicknamed "The Lady in Black" and "The Track Too Tough to Tame" by many NASCAR fans and drivers and advertised as "A NASCAR Tradition." It is of a unique, somewhat egg-shaped design, an oval with the ends of very different configurations, a co...
Also the X in the egg, has to be some sort of connection between X and eggs
The barycenter is often represented with an X
comes up a lot with binary stars / orbits ^^^
Linked this yesterday, but no one thought it was related 😦 https://sonic.fandom.com/wiki/Egg_X
I mean, it does start the Moon zone
So I think it could be intentional
"The bright southern star Acrux, in the Southern Cross, was discovered to be double in 1685."
(the Southern Cross is Crux)
GN all! A random path for you before I depart tonight. What if “brown eyed girl is discussing a human baby?. Like, “Jane and Jerry had a brown-eyed girl” And the egg could be the human egg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_cell
The egg cell, or ovum (plural ova), is the female reproductive cell, or gamete, in most anisogamous organisms (organisms that reproduce sexually with a larger, female gamete and a smaller, male one). The term is used when the female gamete is not capable of movement (non-motile). If the male gamete (sperm) is capable of movement, the type of sex...
so the X in the egg could be an X chromosome?
Gn!
It sure fits
1404E210DDFD - 4FA5E227933D2 - 1A3DC, wonder what this means 🤷
haha, oh well 😅
Educated guess, but it seems like another O - 0 - o
Interesting that the letters are only A, C, D, E and F
maybe they can be converted into 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6?
140452104464 - 4615522793342 - 11343
I thought the first two would have the same length too
https://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Selection_Algebra
"pepseq ACDEF ps. Protein residue sequence with one-letter code "ACDEF" (see also FindSeq) "
but it's 12, 13 and 5
I just found this, it seems to have a lot of links so far, mainly space, easter eggs, egg shaped buildings, ovals, and Copernicus. https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/Earth_from_Space_Easter_egg_hunt
Basically its 4 egg shaped buildings that where photographed by the Copernicus Sentinel-2.
ooh another person of interest
I wanna add on another thread actually
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Solar Corona
might be a connection
"The supposed element was discovered also in the gases given off by Mount Vesuvius in 1898 by a team of Italian chemists"
"Dmitri Mendeleev hypothesized that there existed two inert chemical elements of lesser atomic weight than hydrogen... ...and the slightly heavier one to be coronium"
I think we might be able to find a coin catalogue image with Vespasian + Titus written below a coin like this..?
either way I think that's what the "coin catalogue" 👀 by Rob was referring to
@prisma stump for your collection
This looks a bit like a URL extension for something like Google maps, when you look up a location. 
was scrolling through the wiki search for "oval" and 90% of results were locations or geometric stuff
but this comes up too 👀
yes but inverted, as that seems to be mostly letters instead of numbers
"The orbital plane of Titan only crosses the line of sight to the Sun at two points along Saturn's orbit. As the orbital period of Saturn is 29.7 years, an eclipse is only possible about every 15 years."
XV..?
I'm looking at yesterday's image/clues.
Nice find! I'm happy thay the Colosseum was something after all, but I guess is probably just a secondary or tertiary clue 😅
I think this is just "ANNO" written upside down. We could be looking for a year 🤔
Nice find! There are many things that connect to this, interesting 🤔
Good job finding the equation!
When I was looking at ovals, that was called Moss's Egg, in case that helps
hmmm what if circular + matrix = seal matrix? 🤔
A seal is a device for making an impression in wax, clay, paper, or some other medium, including an embossment on paper, and is also the impression thus made. The original purpose was to authenticate a document, or to prevent interference with a package or envelope by applying a seal which had to be broken to open the container (hence the modern...

It is the predecessor to the St...
And I guess I can rhyme with no effort 🤔
or intention... 😂
"Schøyen Collection"... no beans 😭
probably nothing, but interesting
I keep scrolling waiting for a Rob reaction 😭
I have some ideas for this. The question is - what are the different ways to enter a date? Like April 1st 2023 can be 01042023, 04012023, what else?
Can a complete date be shown in Roman numerals?
Or some other method?
The XV here looks the exact same as the other XV in the scale
Maybe it extends more out to the right?
Iike the other weighing thing?
I have tried alot, but not seen anything out to the right of it 😞
The answer will probably end up being very simple, and we'll have to collect our tears in big buckets 😂
Oh, good idea!
I would use ISO date formatting
And I guess we just leave out the dots or dashes between month, day and year.
I'm afraid that at one point Rob will get tired of us not getting the answers and will just react with "🤦🏻♂️"
I'm sure he's used to his EEs being literally unsolved forever haha
But would be a shame this early on 🥹
I NEED that emoji hahaha
Hmm I wonder if there actually is a reachthefinals.com/ link
or if URLs in general are what we should be looking at
reachthefinals.com/go-o
Just as my dreams foretold in September or something
I had a realization when I was driving about the scale.
If XV is 15 in roman, then Ø can't represent 0 (zero)
What would that imply?
In order for 15 to be equal Ø, then Ø needs to be radius diameter
Because otherwise 15 would be tipped over and 0 would be raised up
I thought it was diameter
oooh yes, i meant that
Interesting if the diameter of 15 is significant
have you seen the fact that the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet is O?
I’m struggling to find dates, so will throw this idea into the ring for everyone to see if someone can come up with the answer. We’re getting XV (15) a lot, combined with Ø. I think this tells us we should be looking at Titan casting its shadow onto Saturn, and probably a date for it. It only occurs every 15 years, apparently, and only when the rings are edge-on to the sun.
oh wow, that is oddly specific haha
Yeah I thought that too
Because Titan has an atmosphere the edge of its shadow on Saturn will be Brown not black
Not sure why it's an = sign used so much then
Brown Eyed Girl
I'm back at looking at the hidden XV, and it does indeed feature the same line as on the gun, but I can't see anything below it or on the right side of the scale
Or the scale implying they're the same
I think it’s probably saying together rather than equivalent
Would be really groundbreaking then if we make out the symbols and they aren't the same as the other version up there
What about O = 0 = o = 0
yes, i'm on the same track. it feels like if there is something more, it can't be the same as on the gun, as it wouldn't make sense (in my head, at least) to hide the exact same clue so hard someplace else
for now I'm still convinced the "weight" being the same is intentional
Especially the first one visible with the naked eye,
Worst part is that it might be in different locations. Just as the signature for copernicus (or whoever it was) and the equation in this image
I can't play around with the image yet, but I hope you find it
I reckon they'll be in the same place
Just tweaking needed
fingers crossed 😄
Cause I feel like there's a missing piece we're not getting with these 0s and Os and Øs
What I can’t find is dates for Titan casting it’s shadow onto Saturn, previously or future.
The latter one being Saturn is probably helpful though
So it could imply O = Saturn
(the O being something we haven't found yet)
another round object
cause I assume for them to weigh the same they have to be the same type of thing
One represents Titan, one Saturn Ø, one represents 15 and one the shadow
not like Saturn and it's orbit
Is the shadow derived from the 15?
I feel like if Rob wanted us to look at these as separate aspects of a phenomenon/something, he could've used vertical dividers like |
instead of = four times
That... makes sense
give me a second
So there's also one clue which is O o null
maybe the null is just the circle with the cross through it
Yeah, that would make sense. O Titan o shadow Ø Saturn
Something else I'm considering
O and o both equal 15 anyway
the weight with the triangle in the middle seems deliberately placed (and it occurs twice)
maybe we're looking for something with the same mass as Saturn?
Maybe the ^ just kinda says “happens precisely” here
Titan is quite a long way from Saturn and has to be in line with the sun for the shadow to be cast
I think it’s at least worthy of trying to find some dates
Like, when’s the next one, for instance?
No, that’s Titan’s orbit. It only casts a shadow when Saturn’s rings are edge on to the sun - every 15 years
I think I found some kind of relation between clues
#easter-eggs message Half of this clue Flex found, 06/24, is the date Titus Caesar Vespasianus reign started (in year 79)
Titus was the one who ruled when the bronze sestertius was in use (the coin on the hilt of the sword) #easter-eggs message
Oh, he was even the one that "built" Colosseum (or Flavian Amphiteather after the Flavian Dynasty he belonged to)
Yes the Vespasian Titus clue is basically a reference to the Colosseum
and I think it's just an interesting tie-in that the crown got passed down in 79AD
there is also the Saturn Equinox every 15 years... perhaps the scales do not represent "equal to" but "equinox"
so the code would mean;
15 equinox Saturn
Yes, so that would give that too. The long line could also represent the rings on edge
Also… an eclipse would make a cool in-game event!
So far we have “geocache” = hidden vault; meteor shower; volcanic eruption and adding an eclipse would fit well. We did see a few light switches in the houses in-game…
do we have a message similar to the clue summaries @timid solstice previously did?
Also, I wonder if the 2001: A Space Odyssey etc clues point to a current or future date
Not yet
Would be a good contender for a password 👀
I’ll update the pin in an hour
I feel like these clue recaps are probably really good for Rob too, so he knows what we have or haven't figured out yet
agreed. they're good for lurkers like me – that's how i managed to help during the Angstrom clues 
I think I have a way to combine the Saturn eclipse path with the empty set Ø path. Saturn has 7 moons that are capable of eclipsing the sun and casting a shadow onto the cloud tops of Saturn. This leads to the question: Are septuple eclipses possible on the Saturn, where all 7 moons cast their shadow onto the planet at the same time? Apparently, the answer is "no" because the combination of the planet having to be rings edge-on to the sun (Saturn being quite tilted, this happens every 15 years) and the likelihood of all 7 moons being between the planet and the sun at the same time mean this could only occur every 200 billion years - far longer than the age of the universe. So, while it is a set that is possible, it is an empty set.
"Septuple" is not the password. Nor is "septupleeclipse"
When Titan casts a shadow on Saturn, its shadow is egg-shaped because it is a circle cast onto a sphere
(again, note rings being edge-on to the sun)
If the answer was related to this, how would we come up with a word for something that doesn't occur, even if it is possible?
We just look for the German word for it 😂
I don't want to open another rabbit hole, but both "eggs" and "rabbits" represent fertility... 😅
I just say it in case someone can see a link with something else, but I don't know if the path is worth investigating
That dot could well be Titan in the shadow of Saturn - notice how the lower part of both is similar
TIL: In addition to the basic twenty-six letters, A–Z, the Swedish alphabet includes Å, Ä, and Ö at the end. They are distinct letters in Swedish and are sorted after Z
I got there from this wikipedia page - where it says Ø is equivalent to the letter "ö" used in Swedish (and a number of other languages), and may also be replaced with "ö", as was often the case with older typewriters in Denmark and Norway, and in national extensions of International Morse Code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ø
Looks a bit like a Gömböc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gömböc
Looks like Bugs Bunny's front teeth
I see that 100% but the outline is more of a hexagon
Gömböc all the way 
Hello, what is Gömböc?
It's Azerbaijan language
Gyombyoc
Just had a look at the XV next to the shoe.
It kinda looks like it says Fy or something next to it.
In this video I show you a Gömböc. This is a shape that has only two equilibrium points—one stable and one unstable, instead of the usual minimum of 4. It is self-righting no matter how you set it down.

Fy hmm
Feynmanium is the provisional non-systematic name of an undiscovered element with the symbol Fy and atomic number 137. Feynmanium was named in honor of Richard Feynman (1918–1988), who worked in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, quantum electrodynamics, and particle physics. This element is known in the scientific literature as...
Richard Phillips Feynman (; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as his work in particle physics for which he proposed the part...
nothing from Rob... yet
That's strange... well u prbably just misspelled the url... ._.
Are you waiting for me, I thought it was the other way around... ._.
Waiting for my massive headache to clear, haha
but by then we'll probably have solved it 
also I feel like this is hinting towards there actually being a URL...?
Nice
it's all connected... ._.
if this is the only find I make this week, I'll still be happy 🤣
another theory, all
VMs first group was named after Sputnik 1, but in Russia, Sputnik is the term for any orbiting body at all. So maybe the Sputnik clue is also pointing towards orbits...?
quick somebody scan every pixel of the happy holidays picture /s
3201 Sijthoff (asteroid) --> Sijthoff Planetarium (backed by the Sijthoff family) --> Used a Zeiss projector (only thing that survived the fire) ---> First Zeiss projector was called a Copernican
wonder if that's intentional
or if it's something else
did you make that google doc?
no, @slender lodge did I think
Where is that from?
the image?
yeah there
you can put the link between < and > to erase the big embed
<youtube.com> etc.
Is that a public doc?
Yo lol
I don't think y'all should look at that doc for ee
It's the alpha playtest store information
but... but...
True
I also don't think .3201 just comes out of nowhere
I thought it was an error in the store
I am allowed to share that information tho right.. in p sure I'll be fine
I mean this obviously isn't helping the EE since it's like 0.5 tiers behind
I shared it a long time ago too so ig it's fine
we are. I remember being told that text from the alpha is fine
one thing I don't think was written down was the loading screen text chunks
it's not on this doc at least
I think the Name of the Ospuze Head was mentioned but that was basically it
also that Ospuze have a presence in Argentina
Here: OSPUZE’S CEO SOFIA PETRONELLE IS ONLINE. TIME TO POP. POUR. PERFORM.
Sounds like a Spanish or Latin American CEO?
That's correct, there is no clues in closed tests... but still, everything is connected... ._.
is that doc not against nda?
Sharing screenshots and visuals from the playtest isn't allowed, but discussing material and transcribing things from it isn't.
I would be terrified if it was
Hispanic name + Italian lastname = Argentine
(It was mentioned in the game too)
Hmmm actually, I think I mixed up the ingame messages. It said OSPUZE was from Argentina. I probably assume Sofía was too because of the name 😂
EE-related AI art for the day: “People in a sports oval watching the planet Saturn”
Yes, that doc is a NDA-breach...
No worries folks, let's just not share that one anymore, please 🙏
I prefer to simply not exist anymore
No! We still love you!
PS all: there was some VERY unclear messaging from us about coping and sharing text in discord during the Alpha, so we do apologize for that. No harm has been done here and no worries at all ❤️ I'm sorry for the lack of clarity.
reverts back
I will come over there and hug you Swa, don't make me do it
Hahah thanks ❤️
In a snow storm?
Did you guys manage to finish this sub tier?
Nope. We're on day... 35 of it. But I feel like the light is at the end of the tunnel now.
Jesus 😂 that's a new record
I've also been working on a timeline
The Visual Timeline Guide To TFEE & More!
If you want a more complete guide go to Flex4d's Wonderful Guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CLzGtj2w2elVkqEdPV6NgqRiszNAxnwIANXHK-Pa1Bk/edit
Oh yeah I saw it, I love how it's laid out
I'm gonna read through everything I missed out on but there's so much haha
This is what I do now lol
Like a manager
Hahah yeah
There's T1F and then T2
I wonder if after we solve T1F we'll finally be able to connect everything
Since Rob always hints that everything will make sense at the end
Rob, otherwise know as Robert The Riddler
I wonder if T2 is something completely different or not
I wouldn't be surprised if T2ABC requires T1A-C to solve.
Hopefully next tier is less entangled
hope you guys solve this one 🙏🙏🙏
I am but a humble helper
We're all helping each other here
We'll be fine
I hope when I come back next week that I don't have to worry about this password anymore 😭
Embarkers coming back from their splendid break seeing how somehow we're in a worse spot than before
Justinian I (; Latin: Flavius Petrus Sabbatius Iustinianus, Classical Latin: [i̯uːstiːniˈaːnʊs]; Greek: Ἰουστινιανός Ioustinianos; 482 – 14 November 565), also known as Justinian the Great, was the Eastern Roman emperor from 527 to 565.
His reign is marked by the ambitious but only partly realized renovatio imperii, or "restoration of the Empire...
It's ALL CONNECTED to HIM
The Byzantine Empire is the key I'm telling you /j
its still very wide, we cant seem to narrow the search
if we could solve some of the number clues if could help us
82--48 and 39--82
1404E210DDFD 4FA5E227933D2 1A3DC
110D631 or 110D831
Just zoom out
main clues are WWW / simulations / o = 0 / ovals
Suggestion for padlet: when you add a new link add why it's connected to the new node by adding a short description in the connection itself
I think it might clutter it a bit more but it makes it 100x easier to find connections for new people to the padlet/EE
Idk how those connect hahha I'll have to look into it more
I haven't done anything in this tier
Sometimes I pop in and see rhb annoyed that he found the Byzantine empire somewhere
Goodnight darnoux!!!
I saw that the other day in one of the rabbit holes I followed 😂
Now every time I see a flamingo I think about ARC Raiders, great marketing 😂
I asked for help about this one 1404E210DDFD 4FA5E227933D2 1A3DC
5-12-13 is a Pythagorean triplet is what I saw right off lol based on char groupings lol - prolly doesn’t mean anything, just coincidence
also I just realised, Descartes is almost in a "Superegg" here;
5, 12, 13 is #2 in the set
anything cool from the hunt yet?
Who said rock is dead? 
That’s awesome!
the cult of eggsy must be established.
A special AI art for you guys on Christmas Eve here in New Zealand: “Anthropomorphic easter eggs celebrating Christmas under a moon lit night, old masters oil painting”
Still on stage d?
Not for long...
Well I don't think we'll be getting anything out of Embark during their Christmas break
I think I'll be well enough tomorrow to try some passwords out
Once you finish a tier does it automatically give you a image as a clue on the site or do you have to wait for the devs to give you the first clue
We get an image
Ah alr
(or in this stage a gif)
But I think everyone might be busy doing celebrations for the next few days
(good for them)
Wasn’t there a break for a few days? Like, we didn’t automatically get an image on the password page.
we got the 404 gif to be fair (325: Euclid, Nicaea, 404, lots more references)
but yeah a few days before a render
wait I remember there was a Date clue
CCCLXV, (365)
Which is a (solar) year, maybe pointing towards heliocentric orbits?
or just orbits in general?
or the Earth's orbit?
the original 325, in the AD, was the year of this christian Council of Nicaea, which decided the day that Easter would be celebrated
which was the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon, orbits lining up etc.?
it's also the day the **Julian calendar **was introduced, the first to use **365 **days
with saturn being that size and cut off slightly, it kinda seems like the POV from Titan (cut off by the horizon)
I just looked back on it - there was a break of about half a day. Pretty much right away though.
wonder if that was Rob realising we needed a few hints before this stage started
we seemed to connect the Elements pretty quickly
Yeah, could be.
from the 325 to all the Vesica Piscis and the 13 books
I think that's one of the three main "clues" he talked about
Euclid and the Elements
Interestingly, there was a conversation about whether dots on the original 404 page looked like the Big Dipper or another constellation amongst all of that 404 stuff
hmm, I wonder if we've had any constellation clues yet
I thought we had - the Crux (Southern Cross) shape on the last image
And stars and Milky Way on the helmet of the Brown Eyed Girl image
I think those are quite conditional
on the fact that we connect them to a solid clue we have so far
cause those could be nothing as much as they could be something
but it's a pretty close match
just wondering what we could tie it to in the realm of ovals, or even anything else
Yeah, I think I concluded that if it’s real, it’s just telling us oval in the south, which I thought meant Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, but that’s as far as I got.
How it could tie into the oval thing. So really the Crux clue just says “south”
oh, cause Crux is in the south?
the fact that Crux appears on the Eureka flag is a very solid connection though
as Eureka is confirmed to be "in" by Rob
so good find
since I haven't seen Eureka anywhere else or anything
yeah that's where the confirmed comes from
Oh, true. I was thinking of Archimedes
Eureka oval’s current name is Mars Oval
Rhb rebrand?

Hilarious
Rockmountain64
wanna add this Crux-infused flag which looks quite similar
If I could, I would have just been Rockhound, but I needed the “Black” to get all the social tags etc
Like Sirius Vs Sirius Black
me, with 'fish' haha
does... the Black... mean something...? 🕵️
Well, I did think about that Sirius Black thing and he was a werewolf right? So a hound connection, but I chose it pretty quickly.
Rockhound was my original gamer tag. After Rockhound from Armageddon
Thought you were just into minerals haha
I have an MSc in geology 
So you were correct!
Not really in minerals though. I looked at regional terrestrial sedimentary rocks associated with mountain building. So river and lake sediments that changed as mountain ranges formed. Plus I spent time working with a professor digging up fossil whales, dolphins and penguins for work in the summer breaks
Do you like to fish?

Corophium arenarium
can't say 😶
Corophium arenarium is a small (up to 7 mm (0.28 in)) European amphipod crustacean of the family Corophiidae. It looks very similar to C. volutator.

one of the shortest Wiki Pages I've ever seen 😭
Sea bugs.
either a good thing or a bad thing
/
70% certain it has to do with the etymology of the word
wonder why he responded to that one
and surely he wants a URL then
..right? or am I reading this wrong
idk I guess I'm just hoping for a signpost or progress marker of some sort 😭 like a URL
ARENA?
maybe C. volutator is a lead too?
from arenarium
honestly having not too good luck with the origin of this name
Filippina Lydia "Tina" Arena (born 1 November 1967) is an Australian singer-songwriter, musician, musical theatre actress and record producer. She is one of Australia's highest-selling artists and has sold over 10 million records worldwide. Arena is multilingual, singing and recording in English, Italian, French and Spanish.

Brown eyed girl?
Hahaha
@cedar owl ”Dusty, Dusty our friends are lost, oh my, oh my, why did they ignore your post..?”
I think identifying the text which that came frm will prbably help us plenty
might be a quote from one of the books
Funny how things can be linked though - Tina Arena had a song called Sorrento Moon - named after Sorrento in Victoria Australia, which is named after Sorrento, Italy, which overlooks Pompeii.
Corophium apparently derives from the Greek word for bedbug, koros
Ewww
also whoop whoop ❗

wait wasn't one of the previous URLS made of lots of ooooos as well
well it's "because" whatever / means
and they're both pointing to it
Maybe the Watership Down and Arthur C Clarke references point to a book that was made into a movie?
wonder if it replacing an ' here means anything
I think if we search enough we'll find where this quote is from
C. arenarium occurs on the coasts of France and the North Sea. could mean something
we shouldn't forget Rob just finally straight up puts a / here in response to a specific message
.
Cowslip/s warren
S Warren?
first one I found
Cowslip is a Rabbit and warren is a rabbit hole
another S. Warren
also another cowslip, cow slipper haha
there's also this painting: A Tuft of Cowslips
but that's all I could find
I mean the guy also did some math stuff and made this
"Young Hare"
On the cowslip Wikipedia page: This herb was already mentioned by Pliny the Elder for its early blooming attributes.
Pliny gets around
👍
his connection between this and Vespasian-Titus (and 79AD) is too coincidence to be coincidence I think
Also this not to be forgotten #easter-eggs message
My theory on that is that there is a URL, and it's connected to Corophium Arenarium and Cowslip/s Warren
somehow
well we gotta find it sooner or later haha
Or Corophium Volutator. It's in the same message that Rob /ed
Firstly, Merry Christmas for those of you still celebrating it! (And Happy Holidays, for those who don’t). It’s ‘Boxing Day’ here now in NZ and I think I am still in a food coma from yesterday! Anyhow, I have a rabbit hole which I think stands up under most paths (well, to be fair it’s a pretty big collection that allows that). From the start, I wondered who the Brown Eyed Girl might be (and actually considered this option, on, like, Day 1, but didn’t investigate it!). When the Eureka Stadium in Australia popped up and Rob confirmed it, I wondered if the answer might lie around a building rather than something physics-based. Then I combined that idea with geometry, light being projected and a “collection” of widely varying historical figures. And this building is the one that sprung to mind:
The most obvious Brown Eyed Girl in The Louvre is, of course:
The most well-known painting on the planet.
Mona Lisa has also been extensively covered by other arts, including songs - Nat KING Coles’s ‘Mona Lisa’
The glass pyramid of The Louvre covers the geometry angle of the puzzle, and Rob’s Stockholm square is similar to the space the glass pyramid is in.
I don’t know! I’ve tried quite a few options already without success - even used the dimension of the painting. There are plenty of other options it could be though - The Louvre and Mona Lisa is a huge subject
Nat King Cole who sung ‘Mona Lisa’ was under the Capitol Records label
A very similar building to the 13 elements “stack” in the first image
The label was apparently built on the back of his success
Also - I think the Watership Down rabbit warren clue points to the entrance of The Louvre being underground through the glass pyramid, like entering a rabbit warren
I’m not sure what you mean by your question?
The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a large glass and metal structure designed by the Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei. The pyramid is in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace in Paris, surrounded by three smaller pyramids. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum. Completed in 1988 as part ...
You could also view the glass pyramid as being an “empty set” - it’s a structure with nothing directly in it.
Paris - also on the Paris meridian line that we considered at one point
The Carrousel du Louvre is an underground shopping mall in Paris, France, managed by Unibail-Rodamco. The name refers to two nearby sites, the Louvre museum and the Place du Carrousel. The mall contains a famous skylight, La Pyramide Inversée (Louvre Inverted Pyramid), which plays an important role in the best-selling 2003 book The Da Vinci Code...

The Louvre Inverted Pyramid (French: Pyramide inversée du Louvre) is a skylight constructed in the Carrousel du Louvre, an underground shopping mall in front of the Louvre Museum in France. It may be thought of as a smaller sibling of the more famous Louvre Pyramid proper, yet turned upside down: its upturned base is easily seen from outside.
Merry Christmas!
We got Monaco, so I guess they went to France on the same trip 😛
Like Operation Underground from Battlefield, but with fine art! Hehe
Imagine if the paintings were replicated in the map as well and you could throw them around! 
Quite likely!
Lisa del Giocondo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈliːza del dʒoˈkondo]; née Gherardini [ɡerarˈdiːni]; June 15, 1479 – July 15, 1542) was an Italian noblewoman and member of the Gherardini family of Florence and Tuscany.

Another possible path to explore
Merry Christmas to you too! I’m back off to work today, but at least it’s sunny! 😎
This is a painting in The Louvre - ‘Basket of Eggs’ by Henri-Horace Roland Delaporte
Just trying to figure out how the egg equation could fit into this path…
Is this AI art?
Oh, here is the link to the main Mona Lisa Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa
The Mona Lisa ( MOH-nə LEE-sə; Italian: Gioconda [dʒoˈkonda] or Monna Lisa [ˈmɔnna ˈliːza]; French: Joconde [ʒɔkɔ̃d]) is a half-length portrait painting by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. Considered an archetypal masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, it has been described as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most...
Also… recall Rob’s mention of ‘beautiful painting’
Lmao Mona Lisa with the Easter eggs
Give me a New York Map. Or a co-op city Map.
In 2005, an expert at the University Library of Heidelberg discovered a margin note in the library's collection that established with certainty the traditional view that the sitter was Lisa. Heidelberg mentioned in the Mona Lisa Wikipedia page.
Is this bridge which is in the background of the Mona Lisa what is seen in the bubble on the character’s shoulder in the second last image?
Miiiiight be a stretch but I can see it
I can see it
Does that blue thing say something
Merry Christmas everybody!
And wow do we have some interesting clues.
So we have:
Corophium arenarium
/
Cowslips Warren
And Roman
I'll start here
Titus Statilius Taurus is another Titus who also built an amphitheater.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphitheater_of_Statilius_Taurus
That amphitheater was also built on Campus Martinus or the Fields of Mars
Last time I’ve been here 2 weeks ago. Any progress? Can’t see any update video from RockhoundBlack. Sad!
We’ve made little bits of headway here and there, but it’s been tough going!
The Louvre was previously a residence - the “dwelling” clue. The Louvre Palace has been subject to numerous renovations since its construction. In the 14th century, Charles V converted the building from its military role into a residence. In 1546, Francis I started its rebuilding in French Renaissance style.[17] After Louis XIV chose Versailles as his residence in 1682, construction works slowed to a halt. The royal move away from Paris resulted in the Louvre being used as a residence for artists, under Royal patronage.[17][13]: 42 [18] For example, four generations of craftsmen-artists from the Boulle family were granted Royal patronage and resided in the Louvre.
We gotta clear this stage first haha
This tier about Galileo Galilei
Why does that name seem so funny 😭😭😭
Ok
Hey, can I ask how you got this result ? Did you use photoshop ?
Stegonline, browse bit planes, believe it was green 0 or green 1
cool! Thank you!
Easter egg-related AI art for the day: “A white rabbit using binoculars to look for the rabbit warren, photograph.”
This one’s pretty good too 😂
How it feels to be working on this Easter egg. 
lol the rabbit's ears are backwards too. So he ain't seein' nor hearin' anything
legend said that LDV (Leornado Da Vinci) took so long to remember her face after he had abandon the art for long time and want to draw her back, took like many years until his old age
After seeing Glass Onion, I have a newfound appreciation for the Mona Lisa haha
This couldn't have been a more perfect representation hahha
I know! Hilarious eh!
Yeah hahaha
Is that ai
Ahhh
What did y put the prompt as
"The finals Easter egg hunters"
?
“A white rabbit using binoculars to look for the rabbit warren, photograph.”
Oh 🤣
I just spotted this big triangle and little triangle geometry - it's very similar to the bottom of the Louvre's inverted pyramid! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louvre_Inverted_Pyramid
The Louvre Inverted Pyramid (French: Pyramide inversée du Louvre) is a skylight constructed in the Carrousel du Louvre, an underground shopping mall in front of the Louvre Museum in France. It may be thought of as a smaller sibling of the more famous Louvre Pyramid proper, yet turned upside down: its upturned base is easily seen from outside.
Where I can get a recap for the Easter egg? I don't know what happened in the last 2 months
Under pinned messages and I’ve created a few videos about the previous tiers on my YouTube channel.
Okay thank you 🙂
Hmmmm, I'm really wondering what the / could be linking towards
ooooooh???
The slash (solidus) could have links with coins, but I'm not sure how strong they are
Constantine was previously mentioned with the Council of Nicaea (325AD, decided the date of Easter, Halley's comet links)
that also kinda looks like a triangle split in half
The only other interesting thing I found about the slash is that there used to be 2, '//' in a URL
WAIT
TF has a second 404 page?
( if you use a double slash )
but I think this holds no secrets
also interesting, / is half of Ø
And we've already been getting loads of oval references
O + / = Ø
I wouldn't discount it holding any secrets or as a clue, especially if it's the only 404 page with that style
A painting of a white rabbit in The Louvre museum painted by Titian - Titan with an extra letter! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madonna_of_the_Rabbit
The Madonna of the Rabbit is an oil painting by Titian, dated to 1530 and now held in the Louvre in Paris. It is signed "Ticianus f." and is named after the white rabbit held in Mary's left hand. The rabbit is a symbol of fertility and – due to its whiteness – of Mary's purity and the mystery of the Incarnation, and is also a symbol of her virgi...
The clouds in the background also look similar to those seen on the headphones in the first image
It's not the only error page with this style, https://www.reachthefinals.com/' with a apostrophe is the same
It won't let me link it though
