pure loom I wonder if the T-rex was just there for the idea that Saturn’s rings are younge...

That seems likely as well

#

I think also helps that we have the painting of Cronus with those 3 stars

With the counting rods thing, wouldn’t that make 0=O=o=Ø 0202020 or the original number with 2s inbetween as = is 2?

#

79=48=111=0x30 would become 79248211120x30, right?

Yeah, that and the "1404E210DDFD - 4FA5E227933D2 - 1A3DC". Both look like hex, but the results don't seem that useful. This one looks like a subtraction, but "-4E6594082939" doesn't look like an answer to that clue 😅

Yes. 57 is also the year he started his first band Sputnik

sharp flame Jan 5, 2023, 1:05 PM

#

I think it's crazy that there's also the Virgin Mary, who dies apparently on a year 57 also

#

Must've been a mindblown moment for Rob as well

neon stream Jan 5, 2023, 1:09 PM

#

What intrigues me about that is that, if he knew of that connection, how did he find out about it? 😅

sharp flame Jan 5, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

I assume he went from Orbits to Satellites (word for orbiting bodies) to Sputnik (Russian for 'orbiting object', and first artificial one) to Van Morrison's Band and somehow connected his Initials and the Year he founded the band and it happened to be the same as one of Virgin Mary's death dates?

#

...
Now that I say it, I can see how crazy that is

neon stream Jan 5, 2023, 1:14 PM

#

Yeah, because you can't just Google those initials, the year, and get that connection 😅

#

I guess the answer to this question would help us understand how Rob thinks...and that would help us solve the EEs 😂

I mean the VM57 probably has other ties as well

neon stream Jan 5, 2023, 1:17 PM

but the eggs are always on my mind...

Also with this theory of Heliocentrism stuff

#

Apparently before Copernicus, the first one to discover it was Aristarchus (look him up)

#

Hmmm

#

With the 82/48 and 48/82, those two digit numbers look like the sizes of Degrees in a triangle

#

When you have a triangle with one 82° side and one 48° side, the third side is 50° exactly

#

Ooh the asteroid which caused the Copernicus crater was discovered by Max Wolf at Heidelberg too

#

Waiiiit

#

The symbol for Latitude

#

is also a slashed O

#

Latitude = 0 means the equator

Was just about to ask if anyone had looked into the isochrone curve connection

#

Although I was looking at Christiaan Huygens work on pendulums.

#

Iso- "same" and chrono- "time" = Isochrone, so a curve with a name that stems from Chronos, I guess u could in a way call Chronos father of the **first egg ** as well, if you interpret the greek myths in the way that he's Phanes' father.

Speaking of 48… how about 48 being four dozen eggs?

I’ve been exploring the egg path a bit and looking at Egyptian egg incubation techniques

#

Egyptian egg oven

An Egyptian egg oven or Egyptian mamal is an oven for hatching eggs by incubation using artificial heat. Manmade hatching ovens in Egypt date back to the 4th century BC. Although using old processing methods, they were considered effective at hatching chickens, especially in comparison to other techniques of the time.Egyptian egg ovens are typic...

Dozen seem like a bad idea, eggcellent work!

pure loom Jan 5, 2023, 6:08 PM

#

“An assessment of their [the eggs’] internal heat would be done by pressing an egg to the eyelids.”

#

Maybe an egg got too hot and cooked her eye brown? jesusToast

#

“In the 1670s Johann Michael Wansleben added that the good eggs were sorted from dead ones, by inspection against a sun-beam, at day 14 of the incubation.”

#

Aside from the sunbeam bit, I’m not sure too much else stacks up though.

#

Maybe back to looking for things shaped like an egg…

#

The only one I’ve found that’s potentially related to “dwelling” is this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg-and-dart

Egg-and-dart

Egg-and-dart, also known as egg-and-tongue, egg-and-anchor, or egg-and-star, is an ornamental device adorning the fundamental quarter-round, convex ovolo profile of moulding, consisting of alternating details on the face of the ovolo—typically an egg-shaped object alternating with a V-shaped element (e.g., an arrow, anchor, or dart). The device ...

Ok, ready for the most bizarre rabbit hole yet?

#

Remember ‘The Woman in the Red Dress’ from The Matrix movie? Well, that scene was filmed in Martin Place in Sydney next to the GPO (the most central post office for Sydney), which distances from the centre of Sydney are measured from (in rings).

#

Anyhow, beneath that area is Tank Stream, which runs through what is specifically described as an historic oviform pipe (like a sewer).

#

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Stream

Tank Stream

The Tank Stream is a heritage-listed former fresh water tributary of Sydney Cove and now tunnel and watercourse located in the Sydney central business district, in the City of Sydney local government area of New South Wales, Australia. The Tank Stream was the fresh water supply for the fledgling colony of New South Wales in the late 18th century...

#

It would be possible to argue that multiple clues are shown here - The Matrix; Red ~~Sports~~ Character; oviform (egg-shaped); Cowslip’s burrow - the tunnel, Saturn —> Satin dress - using the leaving letters out clues.

#

Personally, I think this is too bizarre even for Rob kek but it’s pretty curious.

#

Tank Stream is not the password. 😂 Although it is one of the few structures to appear when you Google “oviform”

#

Oh, and just for bizarreness stakes - there is a statue of the Virgin Mary not far from this location.

#

Anyhow…

The actual answer is there's 2 seperate subtexts for both of them. In the case of the NY one there is the transparent one without any EEs in it, and then the one with a background that does. The 007 one is both a response to someone and a EE clue.

If we're looking for a Roman structure, it's probably an amphitheatre: Amphitheatres are distinguished from circuses and hippodromes, which were usually rectangular and built mainly for racing events, and stadia, built for athletics, but several of these terms have at times been used for one and the same venue. The word amphitheatrum means "theatre all around". Thus, an amphitheatre is distinguished from the traditional semicircular Roman theatres by being circular or oval in shape.

Roman amphitheatre

Roman amphitheatres are theatres – large, circular or oval open-air venues with raised seating – built by the ancient Romans.

**"DAY 0" is an odd phrasing, isn't it? **Since they also said we were getting closer when RHB mentioned the World Egg which is also according to wikipedia sometimes another word for the gravitational singularity that was before the big bang /("DAY 1") or **00:00:01 **meaning gravitational singularity is "DAY 0" or -00:00:01. At this point you could also say there was nothing, relating to the Ø. This also connects to an Astronomer by the name of Vesto Melvin Slipher (sometimes went by V.M. Slipher), which received an honorary degree from Northern Arizona University in **1957 **(VM.57)). He Was the first to provide evidence confirming the expansion of the universe, which, when extrapolated backwards in time means the universe had a definitive beginning - leading back to gravitational singularity and "cosmic egg". Point is, should we look more closely into "DAY 0"?

One thing I’ve been considering along these lines is that the “dwelling” clue could stand for HOME - with each letter of HOME, in turn, standing for Hydrogen giants (Jupiter, Saturn), O (a torus-shaped ring of asteroids), Mars and Earth. The asteroid belt was for a while considered the location of an as-yet undiscovered planet - Phaeton - until it was worked out that it was only asteroids there, with Ceres being the largest. The asteroid ring “O” could represent the empty set which was a planet that was given a name, but never existed (as a planet). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaeton_(hypothetical_planet)

There are LITERALLY 10("X") MISSING DAYS in the calendar of 1582 that was specifically there to fix a fault with calculating easter related to the first councel of Nicea. Got here from reading about the Julian calendar in relation to Spherical Astronomy, but this seems more promising. Haven't had time to sift through all of it, but will do some sifting tomorrow.

Gregorian calendar

The Gregorian calendar is the calendar used in most parts of the world. It was introduced in October 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII as a modification of, and replacement for, the Julian calendar. The principal change was to space leap years differently so as to make the average calendar year 365.2425 days long, more closely approximating the 365.2422...

I thought I might have cracked it for a moment. I was looking at sports arenas and thought about Eureka Stadium and cricket and zero - then realised a score of zero by a batter in cricket is called a duck (named after 0 looking like a duck egg), and score of zero on the first ball faced by a batter is called a golden duck. A batsman who is dismissed without facing a ball (if they are run out) and is one of the opening batters that is said to be a titanium duck. To be dismissed first ball in both innings (i.e., two golden ducks) is to suffer the indignity of making a ‘king pair’. Time in the game for that batter would effectively be zero. So, we’d have zero time, eggs. Titan, kings, and ovals covered by a single path. I haven’t been able to find a password associated with it though.

fallen jasper Jan 10, 2023, 1:18 PM

What was the first game held at Eureka?

#

Since 2019 the stadium has hosted association football (soccer) with A-League club Western United FC playing some of its Victorian home games in Ballarat. The first game was played against Wellington **Phoenix **on 28 December 2019 with the Phoenix winning the match 3–1 in front of 5,084 fans.

fallen jasper What was the first game held at Eureka?

I can’t find a definitive answer but it was likely an Australian Rules Football game played by the North Ballarat Football & Netball Club (the ground opened in 1990).

#

The Australian Rules football does have some Euclidean geometry features - it looks a bit like a slightly rounded american football

#

But that would take us away from the egg path

#

The cricket duck was a better option I reckon.

Technically it is not saying 82/48 or vice versa as the notation is either 8/4 2/8 (or vice versa) or meant to be seen in the context of a macron in the form of an overbar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overline . I was thinking of digging into bar notation (math) to look, but some more promising options hopped up before I could get to it.

An overline, overscore, or overbar, is a typographical feature of a horizontal line drawn immediately above the text. In old mathematical notation, an overline was called a vinculum, a notation for grouping symbols which is expressed in modern notation by parentheses, though it persists for symbols under a radical sign. The original use in Ancie...

But that’s just a technicality and it might very well be saying 82/48 as putting a bar notation over a terminating number doesn’t make any sense either..

Sorry I don't mean to represent them as fractions

sharp flame Sorry I don't mean to represent them as fractions

No need to apologize! I have no idea how to do macron over numbers on my phone or PC either! But now that I think about it those lines actually make no sense unless viewed as 8/4 and 2/8, or viewed figuratively.

Could be indicators that the two are supposed to be compared

#

but not fractions

#

could be a form of coordinates or something

with the Descartes clues

The idea of the notation meaning time signatures (music) crossed my mind, but there is no way to base a relevant search off of it (at least from what I can think of). Also, I think their response to RHB’s post about the Orphic egg confirms it to be “48” and not “4” and “8” separately, but I might be wrong.

Also time signatures have no separator line

sharp flame 82 = R

so it could be "R0" - radius zero? Which would be a point or dot, right? Not sure that makes any sense though, with the time clue, or any of the other clues

Rome 0 maybe more likely

Could work, but I reckon Rob would put an = sign like the others, and it appears reversed too, plus radius is lowercase r

#

If we look at it as R0 we'd have to consider 0R as well

#

and also wonder why it appears reversed on the other side

I was looking at the projective geometry wiki, and saw this "r / 0 = ∞", which I thought was interesting, but no idea how to get an answer from that 😂

I think I tried infinity as a password pretty early on

I wonder if its coincidental that these numbers are in power of two 2,4,8. 🤔

Which in turn is connected to euclids elements book IX

If you ignore the -iums you can derive Corona quite easily from those words

or some other form of something like that
