Vulcan pointed at twice in these final-push clues must surely mean something?

Is the jet a light medium or heavy jet?

But what is a "bond clue"..?
:
I mean, how many alternative A698 exist out there, **
: Avro 698 Vulcan = Vulcan (hypothetical planet)**
well I can think of a couple,
: hypothetical planets = Planet X etc
*but if I had to pick one answer,
I would probably answer zero to be 100% honest... ._. *

alternative hypothetical planets...

# sharp flame and there are only so many

A hypothetical Solar System object is a planet, natural satellite, subsatellite or similar body in the Solar System whose existence is not known, but has been inferred from observational scientific evidence. Over the years a number of hypothetical planets have been proposed, and many have been disproved. However, even today there is scientific s...

What does a printer have to do with space?

sharp flame
#

no clue

#

it's probably a hidden clue in the gif

#

some code or something

timid solstice
#

well it uses co-ordinates, so could be related to cartesian and shapes

neon stream

and oval from that perspective too

upbeat badge

The oval

neon stream

YET ANOTHER oval/circle/round thing too

well.. the oval is.. an oval

well done, nice find!

we love you Rob hug_friend

#

if Rob is eyeing the code part it means there's probably a code...

timid solstice
#

we know there is

#

but dont know what it means

proud minnow
sharp flame
#

as in vesica piscis is pointing towards what this is pointing towards

#

could be two orbit ovals?

timid solstice
#

so Vulcan is out

sharp flame
#

how so?

timid solstice
#

for now

timid solstice
sharp flame
#

I'd be careful with 'not'

#

It's very clearly both in my eyes at least

timid solstice
#

na I dont think so, not for this one

sharp flame
#

bruh

timid solstice
#

yeah I know but he posted OO

sharp flame
#

we had Vulcan in like the third last clue he gave us

#

Vulcan is confirmed, A698 is the Vulcan

Double O ⟨Ꚙ ꚙ⟩ is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is found in some early Old Church Slavonic manuscripts, where it is used in place of ⟨О⟩ in: двꚙе "two"' ꚙбо "both"' ꚙбанадесять "twelve"' and двꚙюнадесять "twelve". The Cyrillic "double O" looks similar to the Latin-script double-o ligature: ⟨ꝏ⟩.

sharp flame
#

I am assuming it's both..

sharp flame
#

infinity maybe?

upbeat badge
#

Infinitywardsucks?

#

Lol

upbeat badge
#

I'm jk

sharp flame
#

I mean, how many Vulcan/OO exist out there,
well I can think of a couple,
but if I had to pick one answer,
I would probably answer zero to be 100% honest... ._.

#

..
I feel like this also has two meanings

#

zero as in there are zero existing out there

#

or zero as an example of one of them

#

ooh

#

OO

upbeat badge
#

So its was 007

00 is important

I wonder how we would interpret this then

and maybe not Vulcan

Imagine if the answer was 👀

timid solstice

double ovals

ahaha have we ever said this and if not WHY not

sharp flame

hmm, maybe there is a double meaning in that first bit

Octopussy is only first mentioned after that clue is posted

The ellipsis ... (, also known informally as dot dot dot) is a series of dots that indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning. The plural is ellipses. The term originates from the Ancient Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis meaning 'leave out'.Opinions differ as to how to rend...

Are all "hihi"s double? 🤔

It does look as a clue, until you see that last one with 3 🤔

Why did you laugh with 3 that time Rob??? 😭

hopefully we just get some new sponser stuff and we solve it from that so i can stop analysing the way rob talks to such a high degree , haha

Good thing you noticed still! Maybe it is a clue!

It is by finding patterns that we get to the answers, after all 😛

I feel like its gonna be like previous clues where when we solve it, the answer isnt gonna link with 90% of the clues initially and we will have to go back and take time to actually find the intended links

Out Of Phase Stereo (OOPS) is an audio technique which manipulates the phase of a stereo audio track, to isolate or remove certain components of the stereo mix. It works on the principle of phase cancellation, in which two identical but inverted waveforms summed together will "cancel the other out".

Maybe they hid something in the trailer audio with this technique?

Now I'm thinking maybe the OOPS is a reference to the OO clues 😭

What significant dates do we have? Because right now I think our best lead is the fact that there is a hint directly referencing a year-month-day format.

#

The ISO date format

The international format defined by ISO (ISO 8601) tries to address all these problems by defining a numerical date system as follows: YYYY-MM-DD where

#

Didn't we have a link to ISO before?

ISO format also integrates time

#

For example, September 27, 2022 at 6 p.m. is represented as 2022-09-27 18:00:00.000.

#

ISO 8601 is as follows: year, month, day, hour, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.

#

I feel like they gave us a direct point at the answer we're looking for a date with MAYBE a time but I think it's just a YYYY-MM-DD format.

then what do we do with 'letter o = 0'

#

gonna take a break, brain out of juice

Same I need food

#

I'm torched

I got an hour before my next meeting gonna refuel and chomp on a sammich while I read the padlet and recaps

#

I gotta say I think for this tier we sprinted within a couple meters of the finish line, and now it feels like we're tip toeing over it lol.

sharp flame
#

also letter o = 0 is like the same thing we've been seeing for months now...

timid solstice

we are totally missing something about it

this looks like it

might not be what we want...

dont go there yeah

although Rob does do doubles

quite a lot

but yeah we don't need that quite yet

trol0te=e otl0et=re

letter o = 0
looks correct to me

Unless Rob is teasing a future map in some area of Amsterdam where lights are predominantly of a certain color... /s

some kinda district ?

sharp flame
#

I just want my tall building map 😭

#

Personally I don't think the 00 is something inside of the date

#

Because of 007

timid solstice
sharp flame
#

it's cause the ASCII he linked us was not zeros

#

but two circles

#

and also

#

the vesica piscis

#

two circles

slender lodge
#

Wait they were circles?

#

quiet silo
#

So what if Rob gave us a cipher to a previous message? Letter o = 0

slender lodge
#

Would that make it the opposite of leetcode

#

o = 0

quiet silo

Is there any message he had numbers and letters mixed in that hasn't made sense yet?

Really want to find the significance of this 1404E210DDFD-4FA5E227933D2-1A3DC

Perhaps the date of a specific occultation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occultation this grazing occultation of Rhea by Dione is very vesica piscis like as well

An occultation is an event that occurs when one object is hidden from the observer by another object that passes between them. The term is often used in astronomy, but can also refer to any situation in which an object in the foreground blocks from view (occults) an object in the background. In this general sense, occultation applies to the visu...

I love what the EE search does to my internet history one moment I am googling Numerology and Angel Numbers. The next I have a medical analysis of the Ocular Orbit open.

In ancient Greek religion and Greek mythology, Dione (; Greek: Διώνη, translit. Diṓnē) is an oracular goddess, a Titaness primarily known from Book V of Homer's Iliad, where she tends to the wounds suffered by her daughter Aphrodite. Dione is presented as either an Oceanid, daughter of Oceanus and Tethys, or the thirteenth Titan, daughter of Gai...

#

Date and Time seem very important and we've got a heavy implication from our EE Higher Power that letter o = 0 and the ocular orbit are important to our answer.

sharp flame
#

what I'm going to assume is that the Camera Obscura path could hold merit

sick stone
#

😞

sharp flame
#

if the Eye is Eyed

#

hmm

#

I wonder why Rob thought that was worth Eyeing

#

at the most extreme, all of the orbit clues are pointing towards the Orbit (eye)

#

but I don't think that's it

sick stone
#

Yeah

#

I only mentioned occultation again as it is closely related to seeing/not seeing

sharp flame
#

I only doubt camera obscura since it wasn't eyed by Rob

#

however that's a pretty flimsy reason

sick stone
#

Hey…..

Optography is the process of viewing or retrieving an optogram, an image on the retina of the eye. A belief that the eye "recorded" the last image seen before death was widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was a frequent plot device in fiction of the time, to the extent that police photographed the victims' eyes in several r...

I just seem to remember something about this connecting to camera obscura or Descartes a while back

I mean

“Albino rabbit”

That’s pretty much as white as they come

I'm trying to connect White Stork to anything here.

it's just what asteroid 8601 is named after ('Ciconia' aka White Stork)

!!!!!!

#

But rob said this was too deep

sharp flame
#

Heidelberg is a scientific hub in Germany and home to several internationally renowned research facilities adjacent to its university

#

and the Swedish Academy of Sciences is also pretty renouned

#

but.. there are no coincidences

sharp flame

it was the pages of all the members which he said was too deep

#

Haven’t this symbol shown up somewhere? Feel like I’ve seen it before…

sharp flame

#

here's the hint

sharp flame
#

also I want to bring up this

#

Orbits, ovals, rings, are all abstractly the same thing

#

and also now the orbit of the eye (which literally means a circular shape)

#

and Dusty has mentioned Shape a few more times than normal

timid solstice
#

so the binary was a clue we've had about a dozen times

sharp flame

unfortunately.. haha

I'm sure if 100 people (given context) saw ;letter O = 0; at least one of them would happen to interpret it in the right way by chance

it will help the future onboarding a lot

Fiducial markers represent the corners of the image, and define the (0,0) coordinate for printing
