winner of the EE hunt gets a golden egg (literally)
A golden superegg
Lil Tama
I'd purchase
Metamaca
How much
$1618
the golden angle is 137.5 though
I'm starting a gofundme
137s - ha! looks like a 0.5
The golden angle = 137.5
The golden angel = you 
5f137s2
yeah
I did see that
however
most sites attribute it to 137 and not 138
have a look
also weird that 137 has a much longer wiki page than its peers
you said GOLDEN lol
π
oh its in regards to the golden clues
but I read that as 8 golden clues in this tier
so the golden ratio clue could be one of them, and not directed related to this tier answer
360 / phi (golden ratio) is your golden angle
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_(disambiguation) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden - for the future
Gold is a chemical element with symbol Au and atomic number 79.
Gold may also refer to:
Golden means made of, or relating to gold.
Golden may also refer to:
also wanna mention the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci (Pisa guy) sequence are connected mathematically
also I know I'm probably looking to deep into this
but Rob is a madman and I can't put anything past him
so here goes
last tier there was 118 clues, (Rob says, also absolutely insane)
in this message are 24+24+30+25
103
Pliny (already covered)
Gemina, twin, double, binary, etc. is coming up a lot
the **Gemini **missions (like how **Apollo **had **Saturn **Rockets), had **Titan **Rockets
lovely that it all connects
doesn't really help us at all π€£
..
ooh ooh
Kepler and the Golden Ratio though ^^
..
The Fibonacci numbers were first described in Indian mathematics, as early as 200 BC in work by Pingala
(Pingala presented)... the first known description of a binary numeral system
Because of this, Pingala is sometimes also credited with the first use of zero
back tomorrow, see y'all!
cya fish!
Interesting (but unrelated) fact: Titanβs air is dense enough that you could walk around without a spacesuit. But youβd need an oxygen mask and protection from the bitter cold.
okay I found something actually real quick, Sunflowers: Generally, each floret is oriented toward the next by approximately the golden angle, 137.5Β°
Apparently in the TV show "Eureka" they visit Titan in an episode
@sharp flame has somnambulism confirmed
According to Roman sources, the worship of Sol was introduced by Titus Tatius
and also why not
the sibling trio is Sol, Luna and Aurora
Aurora is where Gold derives from
"L'Aurora" is also an Eros Ramazzotti song, I don't know how that would help π
and now we wait for Rob's input on all this 'progress'...
if we are close, this clue must bring us closer π
CA
I think Rob knows the password ngl
At this point, he might have forgotten it already π
we should ask
Imagine if there isn't a password anymore haha
True
Except I think he'd want something in return
Hey fish can we trade you?
how are you gonna get the password after that π
If.. it's for the password, I'll do it.
o7
I wish the R-rated cut of those Scooby Doo films would have made it to the public, it could have been so good π
It already has some grey area things π
What if the password is "robrulez"
Because... saying "voulez vous coucher avec moi" in a kids movie... that's... interesting π

This is an easy method for drawing a general-purpose oval shape. This method requires you change your compass setting 3 times, thus, 1-2-3. If the first setting has radius 1, the second setting has radius 2, and the third setting has radius 3. The largest circle is tangent to both of the smaller circles at the same time, and so it becomes diffic...
ive seen that hahaha
rhb actually going crazy
If the same joke works, why change? 
400k of those views are from the animators at Embark so they can be sure that the animation for the "drawing oval" emote that we get after completing this tier is correct
noo but i feel like everytime u post that gif you're actually taking crazy pills lol
hmm how would we find links, it feels like we'd have to shoot a lot of shots in the dark
just like passwords, right?
yeah but at least with passwords we get guidance and clues through images and text from the embarkers
Now I want to drink a shot in the dark β
do links work the same way?
Maybe each time we try a password, we should also try the URL
yeah
i think first thing we can try is all the clues in the images
like all the explicit clues
just like devoncrossing

obviously we can just find the answer off of CA alone
sooo
Found a interesting moon of Saturn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggther_(moon)
Eggther (Saturn LIX), provisionally known as S/2004 S 27, is a natural satellite of Saturn. Its discovery was announced by Scott S. Sheppard, David C. Jewitt, and Jan Kleyna on October 7, 2019 from observations taken between December 12, 2004 and March 21, 2007. It was given its permanent designation in August 2021. On 24 August 2022, it was off...
I feel like this wiki is gonna be really useful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Saturn#List
The moons of Saturn are numerous and diverse, ranging from tiny moonlets only tens of meters across to enormous Titan, which is larger than the planet Mercury. As of 2023, Saturn has 83 known moons with confirmed orbits that are not embedded in its ringsβof which only 13 have diameters greater than 50 kilometersβas well as dense rings that conta...

this hasn't been mentioned yet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Only_Live_Twice_(film)
You Only Live Twice is a 1967 spy film and the fifth in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions, starring Sean Connery as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. It is the first Bond film to be directed by Lewis Gilbert, who later directed the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me and the 1979 film Moonraker, both starring Roger Moore. The screen...
1967
In the film, Bond is dispatched to Japan after American and Soviet crewed spacecraft disappear mysteriously in orbit, each nation blaming the other amidst the Cold War. Bond travels secretly to a remote Japanese island to find the perpetrators, and comes face-to-face with Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE.
this is another james bond reference, on top of the namatama
comes from a conversation in the 1964 film Goldfinger between Bond and Blofeld, who returns in You Only Live Twice
Release dates
12 June 1967 (London, premiere)
13 June 1967 (United Kingdom and United States)
june, but not june 24th... so close
oh that date was the jefferson airplane song, gotcha

found something else
Gillian Beer suggests that Alice, the character, looks for rules to soothe her anxiety, while Carroll may have hunted for rules because he struggled with the implications of the non-Euclidean geometry then in development.
In mathematics, non-Euclidean geometry consists of two geometries based on axioms closely related to those that specify Euclidean geometry. As Euclidean geometry lies at the intersection of metric geometry and affine geometry, non-Euclidean geometry arises by either replacing the parallel postulate with an alternative, or relaxing the metric req...
also Eris hasn't been mentioned in a long time
once considered as "the tenth planet", somewhat egg-shaped orbit
Carroll also wrote a book defending Euclid's work
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_sign
In linguistics, the null sign is used to indicate the absence of an element, such as a phoneme or morpheme.
what are all the missing letters from the image names and Rob's messages and stuff in order?
Michael E. Brown (born June 5, 1965) is an American astronomer, who has been professor of planetary astronomy at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) since 2003. His team has discovered many trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), including the dwarf planet Eris, which was originally thought to be bigger than Pluto, triggering a debate on th...
His team has discovered many trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), including the dwarf planet Eris, which was originally thought to be bigger than Pluto, triggering a debate on the definition of a planet.
if we interpret the missing letters in Rob's messages and the insistence of the null sign as hinting at the absence or omission of something, then... maybe...?
He has been referred to by himself and by others as the man who "killed Pluto",[3][4][5] because he furthered Pluto's being downgraded to a dwarf planet in the aftermath of his discovery of Eris and several other probable trans-Neptunian dwarf planets.
yeah we where thinking this route before, not sure where it went to
Haumea (minor-planet designation 136108 Haumea) / Brown / Eris / Killed Pluto
oh right. yeah, the reoccurence of egg-shaped stuff brought me back around to it
The story of Haumea is interesting, a science scandal
Haumea was the first of the IAU-recognized dwarf planets to be discovered since Pluto in 1930. Its naming as a dwarf planet was delayed by several years due to controversy over who should receive credit for its discovery. A California Institute of Technology (Caltech) team headed by Michael E. Brown first noticed the object, but a Spanish team h...
Brown is also mentioned here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_Nine
Planet Nine is a hypothetical planet in the outer region of the Solar System. Its gravitational effects could explain the peculiar clustering of orbits for a group of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs), bodies beyond Neptune that orbit the Sun at distances averaging more than 250 times that of the Earth. These ETNOs tend to make their close...
meh. not sure how this relates to Saturn, though
only in the sense that Planet Nine would also be a planet, but so many clues have been insistent on Saturn in particular
OH
JANUS
XV, null.
Atlas is an inner satellite of Saturn which was discovered by Richard Terrile in 1980 from Voyager photos and was designated S/1980 S 28.[4] In 1983 it was officially named after Atlas of Greek mythology, because it "holds the rings on its shoulders" like the Titan Atlas held the sky up above the Earth.[5] It is also designated Saturn XV.
Atlas is the closest satellite to the sharp outer edge of the A ring, and was long thought to be a shepherd satellite for this ring. However, now it is known that the outer edge of the ring is instead maintained by a 7:6 orbital resonance with the larger but more distant moons JANUS and Epimetheus.[6]*
The Janus Syndicate (pronounced "Yannus") was a fictional crime syndicate featured in the 1995 James Bond film, GoldenEye. According to Bond,Β they were "top-flight arms dealers headquartered in St Petersburg", and were responsible for restocking the Iraqis during the 1990β91 Gulf War. MI6 was initially unaware that their leader was none other th...
Janus is the right moon, that's why we got the James Bond stuff
Not moon XV (that one gets the Null sign)
but moon X
The orbital relationship between Janus and Epimetheus can be understood in terms of the circular restricted three-body problem, as a case in which the two moons (the third body being Saturn) are similar in size to each other.
In physics and classical mechanics, the three-body problem is the problem of taking the initial positions and velocities (or momenta) of three point masses and solving for their subsequent motion according to Newton's laws of motion and Newton's law of universal gravitation. The three-body problem is a special case of the n-body problem. Unlike ...
This article is about the physics and classical mechanics theory. For the Chinese science fiction novel by Liu Cixin, see The Three-Body Problem (novel).
The Three-Body Problem (Chinese: δΈδ½; lit. 'Three-Body') is a science fiction novel written by the Chinese writer Liu Cixin. The title refers to the three-body problem in orbital mechanics.

a sci-fi novel, like Odyssey Three? still not sure why that was a clue
Holly shit I used to play that game so much on the PS2
Been looking at the two body problem a lot actually
It was a clue cause of Halley's Comet
Also Rob used the year 2061 (jokingly) in a message
I still think that it could be another of the references to "king" π
hmmm "Curve" is another one π€
I'm looking back a the other Padlets to see if I can see a pattern with this tier, and saw this π
I guess I was right, but maybe not for the right reasons. We'll see π
hmmm
I guess all those Gold clues that we were talking about yesterday could be for Tier 2ABC, and now we might be looking for something else? That relates to Gold but not much, that would give us Tier 2DEF, and then we might need to combine those answers to get Tier 3
That could explain the weird nomenclature and distribution of the tiers
since I think this starts with (not) a letter, the password here could either be a name of a thing (into some other coded form) or a ** year/number**
I'm leaning towards the first option
Hey @sharp flame (actually this applies to everyone), can we please write where images come from when we post them? If any of us want to go back later for another scan over previous ideas, thereβs just no way of finding the source without a link, or a comment saying where itβs from. π

Thanks!
I'm gonna take a crack at the Trello and my Recap
I started on that Trello adding labels and sorting by pri/sec/ter etc but itβs still so confusing
I'm gonna add in our documents that Xth could also mean Xth planet
I think sorting by aspect would help us, but there are still plenty of unsorted ones
I think this one is pretty intended
The absence angle is a good one, I think. One thing that was absent from the Golden Eye Bond was the Bond author Ian Fleming - it was the first Bond movie not to include any work by him apart from the characters. We have had some clues pointing towards books - the Arthur C Clarke ones, which could relate to that as a secondary+ clue to Ian Fleming.
very interesting
(As in Fleming is to Golden Eye as Arthur C Clarke is to Saturn/Titan).
saturn has an absent moon which apparently formed its rings
this fits into that angle as well
Also the Cassini gap is an absence.
the gaps are very interesting too
A ring of nothing
Cassini would have been a nightmare as a best man at a wedding - βdo you have the rings?ββ¦
hehe
A chrysalis is oviform, right?
Or can be, at least.
It could be both
I was trying to convince myself to forget Gold for now π
I think the oval shape isn't, well, oval enough to be mentioned anywhere on wiki or some other sites
Yeah, theyβre more elongate right?
yeah, like this
but also damn
Chrysalis, missing planet, formed Saturn's rings, named after the word for Gold
This is good
There is a Eureka chrysalis
Itβs a hammock tent. Cool invention but probably unrelated.
Oh. Very interesting.
god, if any of this is intended then Rob is absolutely insane
for travelling back in time and forming these bands
Lots of big artists
just realised Titan was a clue. Saturn was a clue. Perhaps he wants us to look at Saturn the Titan
since he is the Titan of Time
and if our answer is related to Time at all
Wait, I'm confused. Cronus(or Chronus) = Titan of "time"?
I thought that it was:
-Saturn = Chronus = King of Titans
-Cronus = Personification of time
π€
same person?
Where did you get the Titan of Time thing? π€
Nope, two different guys
"Chronos is frequently confused with, or perhaps consciously identified with, the Titan Cronus in antiquity due to the similarity in names."
Just noting here (in case we need to come back to it), following the chrysalis comments, that the Greek god Psyche is often represented with Butterfly wings.
Father Time is a personification of time. In recent centuries he is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, sometimes with wings, dressed in a robe and carrying a scythe and an hourglass or other timekeeping device.
As an image, "Father Time's origins are curious." The ancient Greeks themselves began to associate chronos, their word for time...
Now I'm more confused. Are these the same guy or not?
π
Oh, Chronograph. Why did I never think of that connection. Lol.
During antiquity, Cronus was occasionally interpreted as Chronos, the personification of time
where does that come up
(I've only just seen that in 'chronological')
I just said it then. Surely Chronograph must be named after Chronus.
Yeah, that's why I don't know if we have to take it as the same guy or not π
Chronos means time
That's why
well chronology, and their time, are named after the word for Time
During the Renaissance, the identification of Cronus and Chronos gave rise to "Father Time" wielding the harvesting scythe.
Yes, thatβs what I mean. Chronusβ name popped up ages ago but I never thought about the chronology connection.
'"Saturnian" Golden Age' damnit
Saturn's mythological reign was depicted as a Golden Age
"Everything, everything, everything we touch turns to gold, gold..."
Link please π
Is it still relevant
Maybe reply to it instead then
tbh it would have been clear it came from there if it wasn't for my spam π
yeah I think that's a good standard for everyone actually
since when the message itself gets linked in a document or something, people can do it in a few clicks
Ee hunters be spending days on one tier but can't properly reference a message
Isnβt Ovid a database or something too?
It rings a bell.
A medical search engine.
Possibly irrelevant.

Latin narrative poem by Ovid
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphoses
Might be a weak clue, but:
Book X: "...Ganymede..." π€
The Metamorphoses (Latin: MetamorphΕsΔs, from Ancient Greek: ΞΌΞ΅ΟΞ±ΞΌΞΏΟΟΟΟΡιΟ: "Transformations") is a Latin narrative poem from 8 CE by the Roman poet Ovid. It is considered his magnum opus. The poem chronicles the history of the world from its creation to the deification of Julius Caesar in a mythico-historical framework comprising over 250 myths...
Ganymede βπ»
Book X also mentions Venus... we might be looking for a Bananarama song /j
Beat me to it! Possible chrysalis connection there too

rabbit holes being connected everywhere
I wonder if we can skip to CA and find the answer from just a bit of digging
This rabbit warren has concerning engineering issues.
We got Radon before
as a final clue (Registered nurse in Rob's message)
and that was really close to the answer
No it was the RN number not radon
ohh
I thought it was radon too at the time
Oh, true π
Saturn was a god of time (similar to Chronus) and was conflated with Cronus
Maybe the third time that you'll remind me of that I'll remember it π
trying to scroll to the RN number stuff, can't find it
Did Bond have a special watch at any point?
Um, itβs called something else. Look under the Mendelevium wiki
Electron configuration
Ohh
A lot of different ones
I was wondering what the rn is
He has a fancy watch of some kind in every movie and they've been Omega Seamaster watches since 1995 but it varied a lot before then
Ok, weβll thatβs better than βnoneβ haha
Rolex, Gruen, even Seiko digital lol
yeah, I'm gonna look for a bit
Seiko batting out of their league 
As for the mythology Titan clue, Saturn's moon XV, Atlas, was also a Titan
If Roob says we're really close and gave us these two Nama hints then it must reside close to 007 as ΓΈig
But idk if watches are the ticket. We have so many clues pointing to oviform or elliptical shapes
Even the Colosseum
Hmm but haven't all tiers gave us egg or oval clues
Actually nvm it's not oval clues
nope, eggs maybe
I think those kinds of things, + gold, are more like overarching clues
Right
Ovals however are very contained here
as well as the shape of the egg
those have appeared in plenty of clues
directly
one of the clues is the literal equation for an egg shape
and the ovals discussions have been Reacted to
Rob wanted us to look at something here
unashamedly Linus
Senseless rabbit holing
ayy, join the club

Yeah it is wan. Sorry I always have that on so I didnt even realise
Also a watch strap is like a ring and an oval

You're welcome π
I wish we knew haha
Wait but like r we supposed to
I'm taking everything you say seriously haha BC I haven't opened this chat in like a good month or two

Buddy we can't afford that.
There might be a few gems in there. Chromatic Aberration for instance.
Chromatic Aberration is a really good fit actually
Isaac Newton's theories about white light being composed of a spectrum of colors led him to the conclusion that uneven refraction of light caused chromatic aberration (leading him to build the first reflecting telescope, his Newtonian telescope, in 1668.)
we had Galileo, Kepler making the first Telescopes too

Very much pointing to gold
oh crap i wrote 12 10 but i didnt mention what if CA = hex for 12-10
could relate to a date?
Closed Alpha?
Hahahaha
reading about the guy Goldfinger is named after:
Goldfinger consulted his lawyers when Goldfinger was published in 1959, which prompted Fleming to threaten to rename the character 'Goldprick'
do with this what you will
These buildings look like a series of Pink Floyd album covers
βBrutalistβ great description
So, we have gold, egg-shaped, omission of something (or empty set), Saturn/Titan and/or Chronus (time). Any other very central themes?
Hard to know where all image interference patterns etc fit in if camera obscura isnβt a core theme
BTW today marks 2 months on Tier 1D
I might as well change this to Feb
okay can someone actually link to me what the RN meant by Rob
can't find it on documentation yet
I dont know what this means
the RN?
Rob posted Registered Nurse as a clue, it helped us find the answer. I wanna know why
just for more context on the CA, haha
Why what? π€
That was for Mendeleev
I missed it and I wanna know
Because it's the electron config of Radon plus the answer
Didnβt we just have this conversation? 
The mendeleev medallion was "doctered"
No, itβs the RN number
you told me where to look, I couldn't find it π
Electron configuration number
what's RN number?????
Radon wasnβt part of it
The electron configuration number
Rn
Rn is Radon
okay but like what it means
Yes, but no
Rn is in that image up there
Rn = the electron configuration number
Which image?
Its Radon Electron!
No, Rn means the electron config of Radon + the rest of the config. Which was the answer
Radon
Rn is Radon, it means Mendelevium comes from Radon
I'm glad we're clearing this up, later than never hahahaha
Yeah, that
The portion of its configuration that is equivalent to neon is abbreviated as [Ne], allowing the configuration of phosphorus to be written as [Ne] 3s2 3p3 rather than writing out the details of the configuration of neon explicitly. This convention is useful as it is the electrons in the outermost shell that most determine the chemistry of the element.
here, click on the Rn ^^^^
Ok, Iβm mistaken lol
Because Radon is a noble gas, so the outer layer is full. Instead of writing the whole electron config for Mendelevium, you just write the last full noble gas and the last layers
Good chat 
Perhaps... we will find Ca adjacent to our answer
better to know now than never π
Good idea
or maybe he wants us to see an element with electron config [Ca] ...
You won't find any, Calcium is not a noble gas, so it won't be used as Radon was to describe the electron config
thanks
okay but this Rn clue was actually right next to our answer
Yeah, so it could actually be a clue for Argon
to be fair if he just wrote "crazy" how the hell would we get CA
xactly. he needed caps for this one
I think Rob's recent clues aren't secondary points or anything, but actually pointing right at whatever our answer is
no yeah yeah was just replying to this
I mean, this CA is like the RN but in a different form
yeah this CrAzy is 100% a clue
*if * registered nurse did mean Rn !
Dusty eyed it, and it was adjacent to the answer. I really hope that's what he meant
π€£
Yeah, it meant that, I'm 85% sure π
That's how I live my life
might we.. need this?
I would think so
Thatβs the quote from Goldfinger.
hmm
for the password, maybe
Maybe he requested room 404?
Jk
maybe... even this
Ahhh sorry catching up on the 4000 messages from last night
yeah that's the problem with having normal conversation here π
we gotta have a separate channel for just wiki pages and connections submitted
and another one for EE discussion

i actually kinda want to have a secondary padlet with only the mostly-confirmed nodes present (and the image findings)
Yeah, that's why I said about having a separate server for the TFEE Community
hmm yeah but i kinda like the fact that newbies can join here anytime
Yeah, both things have pros and cons π
for sure
we'd also need the #hunter's-motivation channel

Pappo πͺπ»
He's one of the best guitar players imo, but I'm really biased π
Btw forgot to say last night but Ca could be for calcium carbonate, the stuff that egg shells are made out of.
Also on other planets it is a sign of water, and it is found on titan.
Also another small link to Saturn, it has 82 moons, which I think was one of our numbers right?
Wikipedia says 83 moons π€
I think they just added 1 recently

yepp with the dreaming stuff
Flipping back to old ideas, CA could stand for Crux Australis (the Southern Cross; "considered to be Australiaβs oldest symbol")
But the Eureka stadium thing feels like it was just confirming "oval" and then "oviform" for us
Although interesting that it is now called Mars stadium - Rob could have chosen lots of other stadiums - Archimedes wasn't even a clue before then
"On 12 April 2022, Premier of Victoria announced that the stadium will be expanded and upgraded to host the athletics events at the 2026 Commonwealth Games." - The Victorian Coat of arms has the Southern Cross on it
The flag of Australia has the Southern Cross, but idk what to do with that
Yeah, I struggled to take it any further and I can see the thing lol
A btw calcium carbonate is also on Mars in two craters one called Gusev and one called Huygens. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_carbonate https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huygens_(crater)
Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CaCO3. It is a common substance found in rocks as the minerals calcite and aragonite (most notably as limestone, which is a type of sedimentary rock consisting mainly of calcite) and is the main component of eggshells, gastropod shells, shellfish skeletons and pearls. Things cont...
Huygens is an impact crater on Mars named in honour of the Dutch astronomer, mathematician and physicist Christiaan Huygens. It is the fifth largest recognizable impact crater on Mars after Utopia, Hellas, Argyre, and Isidis, and the largest one with a near intact rim.
The crater is approximately 467.25 km (290.34 mi) in diameter and can be foun...
look at this description... It has 4 of clues in it
Orbits / Matrix / Cassini / Ovals
Yeah, I looked at Cassini ovals a lot - even the resemblance to 'Critter'
must be
makes a lot of sense
I think RHB must have mentioned Eureka, Australia and Ballarat and the Gold rush stuff
yeah, here
Yeah, and aside from Eureka stadium we got no additional π π π
The Eureka Rebellion was a series of events involving gold miners who revolted against the British administration of the colony of Victoria, Australia during the Victorian gold rush
ohhh
that's what that Eureka flag was made for
@proud minnow are your π broken?? 
gotcha
whats thi sbtw
In geometry, a Cassini oval is a quartic plane curve defined as the locus of points in the plane such that the product of the distances to two fixed points (foci) is constant. This may be contrasted with an ellipse, for which the sum of the distances is constant, rather than the product. Cassini ovals are the special case of polynomial lemniscat...
Rob is calculating the nicest way to say "I didn't use the emote because you are all incorrect so far"
while also making that message a clue π€£
I mean if we actually step back and think about this
all of our discoveries our only connecting things we already know
coordinates, gold, stars, etc. etc. etc.
Annoying isn't it? 
the answer is one of these things
it was also on the wiki list that was π #easter-eggs message
me when i enter any website
Yes, and "oviform" got double π from Rob and Dusty so it must be very close to that
whether it be a star, year, constellation, crater, taxonomer, moon, asteroid, satellite, telescope, war, organization, or other
here is other
egg, computer, diagram, astronomer, catalogue, element, town, building, mathematician, oval...
event, nebula, flag, supernova, date, planet, device, medal, discovery, coin...
I could go on
I'm thinking more likely to be something Earth-bound
don't go to the same well too many times, sort of thing
1064 was our only space thing
Also here are 2 clues directly related to eachother which has been brought up before but just to note, Descartes and Oval = Cartesian Oval - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_oval
79AD was very Earth, Mendelevium too
yes, true that
how about this
we all try URLs
also side note : In Byzantine iconography the halos of Christ, Virgin Mary and the saints are often golden.
As Descartes discovered, Cartesian ovals may be used in lens design. By choosing... ..., it is possible to design a so-called aplanatic lens, that has no spherical aberration.
aberration, hmm
by-
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh π
sorry
I can't fathom the possibility that Byzantine will come back π
i forgot its considered a vile and disturbing, offensive even to say here
byzantine enpire
now enjoy the song















"enpire" lol
enpire

where is @tulip matrix anyways?
Crab game
Crab Raiders
THE CRABS
yes we're playing Crab Rave in #Vibin'
Ever noticed that ARC is Crab backwards without the B

B standing for byzantine enpire
It was so obvious I didn't want to mention it

like that one minions scene
Iβm gonna mention this once again since it seems the gold clues are piling up: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_number_(time)
A golden number (sometimes capitalized) is a number assigned to each year in sequence which is used to indicate the dates of all the calendric new moons for each year in a 19-year Metonic cycle. They are used in computus (the calculation of the date of Easter) and also in Runic calendars. The golden number of any Julian or Gregorian calendar yea...
Do we need an additional padlet for βgolden cluesβ?
I thought of another oval: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartouche
In Egyptian hieroglyphs, a cartouche is an oval with a line at one end tangent to it, indicating that the text enclosed is a royal name. The first examples of the cartouche are associated with pharaohs at the end of the Third Dynasty, but the feature did not come into common use until the beginning of the Fourth Dynasty under Pharaoh Sneferu. W...
it probably is a nod to that scene eh - funny
The Egyptians were the first to map out gold locations, I think
amazing
interesting read but unconnected (for now)
The great thing about gold is that it doesn't tarnish
those artifacts look as good now as they did back when they were worn
apparently gold is formed in supernovae
and came from the dust present when the Universe was formed
damn, nostalgia
π₯Ή back in the day
In nuclear astrophysics, the rapid neutron-capture process, also known as the r-process, is a set of nuclear reactions that is responsible for the creation of approximately half of the atomic nuclei heavier than iron, the "heavy elements", with the other half produced by the p-process and s-process. The r-process usually synthesizes the most neu...
These led to the discovery of the elements einsteinium...
From merging neutron stars
also looks like a superegg
comet like chicxulub which introduced humans to gold
It is thus possible that if it had not been for the Vredefort impact this gold would never have been discovered
Yeah, it brought super-rich gold deposits in ancient sedimentary rocks to the surface - you can see visible gold in some of those rocks (super-rare)
okay I keep realising how much gold is sidetracking us
I kinda regret even stumbling upon it π€£
inb4 we get clues about the Perry Index and number 87
lets just forget we found gold
I mean it has given us a rush of like 10 Eureka moments in day
but that's a short term fix
and can't help us now π
we gotta focus on this CA thing, along with the ovals and orbits
I guess the impact structure does have an oval-ish form, but how would we tie in Chronos to it?
don't think we should even try
I'm being honest I don't think it is the answer
will try to hibernate on this
"Greco-Roman mosaics depicted Chronos as a man turning the zodiac wheel.[4] He is comparable to the deity Aion as a symbol of cyclical time."
Aion (Greek: ΞαΌ°ΟΞ½) is a Hellenistic deity associated with time, the orb or circle encompassing the universe, and the zodiac.
The "time" which Aion represents is perpetual, unbounded, ritual, and cyclic: The future is a returning version of the past, later called aevum (see Vedic Sanskrit αΉtΓΊ).
This kind of time contrasts with empirical, linear,...
π π€
Similar shape to the slashed zero
gn? π
yeah I think my brain needs a lil break
been that long...
Was this noted earlier?: "In the Orphic tradition, the unaging Chronos was "engendered" by "earth and water", and produced Aether, Chaos, and an egg."
''The egg produced the hermaphroditic god Phanes who gave birth to the first generation of gods and is the ultimate creator of the cosmos."
This is under the Chronos entry. Now I'm confused.
well done. also means we've hit the point where we are rediscovering instead of discovering
Yeah, it's Chronus the one with the World Egg
Why did we dismiss it then?
we are now backtracking π
just cause we haven't found what it connects to doesn't mean we dismissed it, I think
You guys are too used to me saying stupid things π
I should be more serious
you are pretty spot-on when it comes to EE relations though 
Yeah, I think it was relevant eh?
also thanks for this
yeah np
Ovid means Shepherd

Christ's identity as the Logos (Jn 1:1), in which the Logos is further understood to be uncreated and coessentially divine with God (that is, the Father), was affirmed in 325 at the First Council of Nicaea

along with Silas, had accompanied Jesus on his trip to the Three Kings' homeland near Ur, and thence to Heliopolis

ohh gotcha
Looks like a star gate
Yeah, it does!
haha in 2061 a time capsule in Canada is gonna be opened
it's like one of 3 things on the wiki page
ohhh shit
LOL
anyway I found another real connection
I think
2079: For computer software using unsigned 16-bit binary day counts and an epoch of 1 January 1900, the counts will overflow after 65,536 (216) days, which will occur on 6 June 2079.
it's literally the only thing written for 2079
the timekeeping of days will finally overflow (on 16 bit ones specifically)
just I guess another digital timekeeping connection
that Rob totally intended
Y2LXXIX
"In the art of the Roman era, Aion was often conflated with the primordial sky god Uranus / Caelus."
"According to Hesiod, Uranus was the son and husband of Gaia (Earth), with whom he fathered the first generation of Titans"
also Jupiter's rings were discovered in 1979
I'm sure someone will have already said that
this is the wiki page for 1979
Skylab dies, also (has Apollo and Saturn V components)
Again, the "drives" could be a reference to what's used to read CDs
"On March 5, 1979, a few months after the successful dropping of satellites into the atmosphere of Venus, the two unmanned Soviet spaceprobes, Venera 11 and 12, were hit by a blast of gamma radiation at approximately 10:51 EST. This contact raised the radiation readings on both the probes from a normal 100 counts per second to over 200,000 counts a second, in only a fraction of a millisecond.[4]
This burst of gamma rays quickly continued to spread. Eleven seconds later, Helios 2, a NASA probe, which was in orbit around the Sun, was saturated by the blast of radiation. It soon hit Venus, and the Pioneer Venus Orbiter's detectors were overcome by the wave. Seconds later, Earth received the wave of radiation, where the powerful output of gamma rays inundated the detectors of three U.S. Department of Defense Vela satellites, the Soviet Prognoz 7 satellite, and the Einstein Observatory. Just before the wave exited the Solar System, the blast also hit the International SunβEarth Explorer. This extremely powerful blast of gamma radiation constituted the strongest wave of extra-solar gamma rays ever detected; it was over 100 times more intense than any known previous extra-solar burst. Because gamma rays travel at the speed of light and the time of the pulse was recorded by several distant spacecraft as well as on Earth, the source of the gamma radiation could be calculated to an accuracy of about 2 arcseconds.[20] The direction of the source corresponded with the remnants of a star that had gone supernova around 3000 BCE.[10] It was in the Large Magellanic Cloud and the source was named SGR 0525-66; the event itself was named GRB 790305b, the first-observed SGR megaflare."
TL;DR
A magnetar is a type of neutron star with an extremely powerful magnetic field (βΌ109 to 1011 T, βΌ1013 to 1015 G). The magnetic-field decay powers the emission of high-energy electromagnetic radiation, particularly X-rays and gamma rays.The existence of magnetars was proposed in 1992 by Robert Duncan and Christopher Thompson. Their proposal sough...

Is there a Hare constellation?
Lepus (/ΛliΛpΙs/, colloquially /ΛlΙpΙs/) is a constellation lying just south of the celestial equator. Its name is Latin for hare.
Hare it is.
oh I thought M79 was gonna be one of many
how the hell does all of this manage to line up
cause I can't comprehend Rob actually finding links between all of these answers like this
and yet they all link

are tjere ever hidden clues in the namatama images
apart from symbols and what not
like will i find anything if i gave it the same treatment as a regular image
Clues on the NamaTama images tend to be less "hidden", as in you don't need PS skills to see them
ahhh
the ones on the confetti are pretty tough without turning your head a lot
oh
True
wat was it
how did u go from virfrma to oviform
ohhh
and we're not sure about the A
i seee
Sorry didnβt read your Lepus screenshot
Aviform is bird-shaped
but it doesn't seem to connect, plus it wasn't the word that was Eyed
but perhaps once Rockhound's Oviform suggestion was being left behind they thought they might as well bring attention to it
even if it was Aviform
idk
i seeee
Yeah, that might have been blind luck
haha theres so much in this tier
077 lol
Legal must have been sweating
Maybe there is another word, that the A fits in
It did look like more characters on the confetti
I was just looking at the wiki page for 79
that last one π

79 is a "Happy Prime" and the image is Happy NamaTama https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_number#Happy_primes
In number theory, a happy number is a number which eventually reaches 1 when replaced by the sum of the square of each digit. For instance, 13 is a happy number because

Whatβs the 10th ?
i cant see a single letter on the confetti lmao
Whatβs the 10th on that list?
10th or Xth is a Spiral Galaxy, a Dwarf Spiral Galaxy came up as a result for the 110D631 clue

Interesting how much tektites are a Cassini oval shape: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tektite
Tektites (from Ancient Greek: ΟΞ·ΞΊΟΟΟ tΔktΓ³s, meaning 'molten') are gravel-sized bodies composed of black, green, brown or grey natural glass formed from terrestrial debris ejected during meteorite impacts. The term was coined by Austrian geologist Franz Eduard Suess (1867β1941), son of Eduard Suess. They generally range in size from millimetres ...

This guy was one of the main people studying australites - he was principal of the Ballarat School of Mines: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Fenner
Charles Albert Edward Fenner (18 May 1884 β 9 June 1955) was an Australian geologist, naturalist, geographer and educator.
Happy Birthday!
just wanted to point out one thing, Au is the symbol for Gold
yes, a few convergences here!
Waiiit that's right
I never made the connection
Eureka is a small eastern suburb of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia β (AU)
I mean I don't even know why they'd add that AU there, but it does appear there
Also, the Australian economy is heavily based on the mining industry
I cant help but laugh at all the Victoria stuff, I lived there for most of my child hood, haha
