easter-eggs

[sharp flame]

we're BACK baby

also I love that sometimes Rob just comes in because we completely missed something 😭

either that or he was highlighting a double use of Gilbert.. idk anymore

[sick stone]

well, it's electrons so it can connect poles, pairs, light...

[sharp flame]

either way

there are two diagrams here

one of them is Covalent bonding

the other is Polar Covalent

[sick stone]

this Gilbert did manage to purify a sample of heavy water

[sharp flame]

nah we can't use water as a keyword now 😭

[vital cove]

What direction are we thinking? Just caught up with Swa's clue overview

[sharp flame]

I was thinking the North and South poles

(also magnetic poles etc.)

but then Rob comes in with another Gilbert

[vital cove]

Snowflakes, pairs, alright

We know what Torsnor means?

What was the first Gilbert?

[sharp flame]

Rostron

Arthur Rostron captained the ship that saved the Titanic

[vital cove]

Aha

[sharp flame]

Titanic was a ship by White Star Line

(WSL was another clue)

anyway Titanic = Iceberg = Poles again if you wanted to go there

[vital cove]

Titanic had how many sister ships?

[sharp flame]

William Gilbert who discovered the Earth had Magnetic Poles

[sharp flame]

didn't look into that

[earnest pawn]

titanic was one of 3 sister ships

[vital cove]

Hmm

Trio doesn't really fit

[sick stone]

I have a slight feeling the crosses would end up pointing here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplet_state

just a hunch though

[slender lodge]

Ya what I'd they're not crosses

But arrows with the center line

Tho doesn't explain the pluses

[sharp flame]

I still think crosses wouldn't be a clue if we'd solved the cipher already lol

[slender lodge]

We didn't solve it yet right

[sick stone]

there is matter anti-matter pairs... similar in the subatomic charge kinda way...

add hawking radiation on top...

might point to crosses

[sharp flame]

It's weird that we got the same cipher twice..

right?

[sick stone]

(if you add neutrons or annihilation)

[sharp flame]

hasn't happened before I think

do we think Poles are still on the table?

it fits with atomic stuff too..

[timid solstice]

perhaps

Flex4d: Most of us have overcome insanity and are now in a state of zen
rob: OOK… challenge accepted Flex4d.! Time to increase the difficulty level then, perhaps I should pair up with Gilbert… see you on the opposite side.!

rob: Hi.! I found this today, I completely missed this, did you.?
MO diagrams depicting covalent (left) and polar covalent (right) bonding in a diatomic molecule. In both cases a bond is created by the formation of an electron pair.

[sharp flame]

the OO makes sense now

Pair and Gilbert also fit in

[sick stone]

I was wondering why you said that. I kinda just figured I’d missed something and was too lazy to scroll back and check

[sharp flame]

I am not so sure how opposite side fits in to electron pairing

[sharp flame]

I just thought it was funny how even water appearing could make us go 'oh it's connected'

[neon stream]

I missed that message from Rob 😂

[sharp flame]

hmm

[sick stone]

The “OOK” has me thinking ‘bout https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_superoxide

[sick stone]

Thought I had mentioned it already, but apparently I didn’t (probably wussed out due to the weak connection); water has a kind of acid-basic duality

Thought about it way back with “pairs”

autoionization

[sharp flame]

by the way if Rob had actually intended the two Gilberts to connect differently then that's just crazy and I applaud him

but idk it seems like he was more 'you missed this' as in we missed what it was supposed to mean 😭

[timid solstice]

The wrong Gilbert!

[sharp flame]

yeah...

wow @fallen jasper that TF and TFEE timeline is 🔥

so useful

[fallen jasper]

https://padlet.com/Kyne/arc-raiders-timeline-2xri6q5sbi1j92uk I've also got one for ARC but it's a bit less filled out for somewhat obvious reasons

[pure loom]

Probably worth adding Erik's presentation into the timeline too, as it did show the towers near the dam and the ARC 'Baron' image.

[fallen jasper]

Which one?

[pure loom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZd4hQJ2MfA

[fallen jasper]

Oh

[pure loom]

it's probably on Vimeo too, if you prefer that

They're both on YT

[fallen jasper]

I thought it was just THE FINALS related assets and the landscape processor was ARC

[pure loom]

Erik's is mostly TF, but a few AR in there

[fringe trench]

theyre both very related. theyre very likely sharing a lot of assets and 100% have the same art workflows. so it applies to both games

Dusty could be Patron Saint of Easter Egg Hunters & Enigmatic Clues, after the message from the other day 😂

[fallen jasper]

I leave that up to you guys

Mainly because it's 11pm and I'm gonna have a episode if I do anything else besides lay in bed watching Sam o Nella videos

I don't know Esbjorn much, what should he be Patron Saint of?

I think he's an artist from what I can recall

Flex3d knows more iirc

I kind of like how for some reason copy pasting the original text broke the page formatting lol

ayo where did that ome from

[light hamlet]

Does that suggest they are evaluating move to UE5?

[neon stream]

I'm quite sure they already moved to UE5

[quiet silo]

Beta was on UE5

[light hamlet]

Oh nice

Good to know ty

[quiet silo]

I think right? I don't think I was hallucinating lol

[mortal cobalt]

Yes they moved to UE5 some weeks before the beta

[neon stream]

I think RockhoundBlack mentioned it in one of his videos

[light hamlet]

Ah interesting so I likely also played a pre UE5 version too

I was involved in some of the very early dev tests

[quiet silo]

Alpha was UE4

I know that one for sure lol

[tulip matrix]

Sheesh I didn't realize how far back I was reading haha. That's from the .exe

[light hamlet]

is that not against NDA to say 😭

[light hamlet]

Nope, just can't share details

Pretty standard stuff

[quiet silo]

Any idea what type of characters this cross cipher might be translatable to? It seems too repetitive to associate characters to just cross orientation, alphabetical or numerical.

[neon stream]

Am I missing something, or is the Wikipedia page wrong? shouldn't it be a 01 instead of a 11? 🤔

[sharp flame]

omg

[tulip matrix]

oh no

[quiet silo]

Nope I think you are correct that should be an 01 maybe just a sequence break? Would have to check the whole thingy

[tulip matrix]

the teachers were right

Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source

[neon stream]

Is there a way to report this?

[sharp flame]

If I had a nickel for every time we found a wiki mistake, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?

I had to create an account 😂

[sharp flame]

perhaps this is why it was left undeciphered for so long

[neon stream]

From the TFEE community to the world

[sharp flame]

now you can say you fixed the Arecibo message

[tulip matrix]

Introducing Sir Penger the Digit Fixer!

[neon stream]

I still laugh each time to "Sir Penger" 😂

[tulip matrix]

You probably saved humanity tbh
Because you know the aliens will jack into our internet WAY before they ever find Arecibo message
Imagine the consequences...

They would have thought we had 4292868029 base pairs and NOT 4292835261 base pairs

[neon stream]

I was thinking... what if the crosses are simpler, and can be docoded like that? 🤔

I think someone tried it already

[tulip matrix]

ye me haha

[neon stream]

and "me", did you find anything?

[tulip matrix]

just a big number

[neon stream]

Makes sense 😂

[neon stream]

hmmm

but I don't think that's how the Arecibo one is read

it should be top to bottom of the right one, and then of the left one

[tulip matrix]

wat

son of a

[neon stream]

100111111100000
101111111001001

I think that should be the thing

670064585?

[tulip matrix]

the space makes a big difference lol

[neon stream]

Why am I getting a different number? 🤔

[tulip matrix]

I get that same number if I don't leave the space

[neon stream]

Interesting

Why would the space matter? 🤔

Ohhh

[tulip matrix]

[neon stream]

it's not reading the second half

[tulip matrix]

that's too deep for me

[neon stream]

100111111100000 is 20448

[tulip matrix]

oh ok

[neon stream]

so 670064585

[tulip matrix]

so if they were seperate we have two numbers

which kind of makes sense since we have two rows

[neon stream]

Tell that to the Arecibo guys

We send a message to aliens that we can barely decode as humans

[tulip matrix]

I think they're relying on them being WAY smarter than us

[neon stream]

I imagine there's logic behind it, I just don't see it now 😂

[neon stream]

You can always pretend to be dumber, but never smarter. We might have sent nonsense 😂

[tulip matrix]

My understanding is that the Arecibo message is based off of universal fundamentals of physics and such so it should (in theory) be decodable by any intelligent life that has progressed far enough to be capable of radio communication

like binary

and atomic structure

Any way, I've been looking into polymers like DNA

since we're back on the small scale of electrons

long chains of molecules and such

Diatoms, which are referred to as the "gems of the see" since they have structural coloration like sea shells

[sharp flame]

what do they see?

👀

[tulip matrix]

they see my failures

You must be a Diatom, fish

[quiet silo]

Don't worry Duh I was like "Oh that's such a good double entendre, Gems of the See because you need a microscope to see them but their coloration is like sea shells." I was in the clown car with you lol

[tulip matrix]

I mean yes that's EXACTLY right

nailed it

at least you know I didn't copy paste that description haha

Interesting thing about Diatom is that they have a silica "shell"

which prompted me to look up what egg shells are made of

They are made of Calcium Carbonate Crystals

which is the same thing that Nacre is made of

[quiet silo]

Something I keep hanging my lab coat on here is the fact that Kari has THREE whole hints dedicated to them. When have we had one clue referenced in three hints on their own?

Snowflakes come from wind, rainbows come after the storm (lightning and wind), The axial poles are responsible in part for the winds/weather due to the Coriolis effect, somethings there I am just not sure what.

[sharp flame]

We still need to figure out what that 3rd one means

The string

Maybe with added context it will make sense

[sharp flame]

Snowflakes

Came thrice

[pure loom]

I think you mean the axial poles. The magnetic poles have no relation to the coriolis effect.

[quiet silo]

Significant in the same regard as Kari is the representative of the North Wind or cold wind in Norse Mythology.

[quiet silo]

Yeh my bad I'll edit that

[pure loom]

Where did diatoms come into it?

That could be a reference to the sea-floor spreading and paleomagnetism I was on about yesterday.

[tulip matrix]

I was looking into Diamonds and Diatom frustules was the entry right after Diamond on the Young's Modulus scale haha

so I just kind of stumbled onto that one

but then again... there are no coincidences... ._.

speaking of Young's Modulus

Diamond is a 1050 -1210 on that scale

and A.D. 1050 relates to King Harald III of Norway

from the Viking age

https://tenor.com/view/the-square-hole-square-hole-shapes-piklas-gif-24625312

He unsuccessfully claimed the Danish throne until 1064

Also this is quite interesting
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_(geometry)

like a double rainbow

and how we had to translate some runes

[quiet silo]

Hmm anyone notice that Kari is also the acronym for the Korean Aerospace Research Institute their NASA equivalent? Not as space prevalent this tier but still an interesting tidbit

[pure loom]

Good spotting

[north crag]

How is everyone in here

[neon stream]

[pure loom]

In ‘Are’are, which I think is the language of the Solomon Islands, kari means octopus.

[quiet silo]

But that's our normal so don't be alarmed

[tulip matrix]

[quiet silo]

KARI was the God of SONG as well oh man I think we're cooking with gas here guys.

[tulip matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/barbequing-bbq-cooking-gif-26288626

[quiet silo]

Forget the EE-Hunt I've got a solid start to a dissertation on why Kari from Norse Mythology was actually an analog for a space faring octopus.

A lot of Niflheim (The Land of mist and snow) gods/giants were used to name saturn's moons.

And for those wondering further about Frigg and Freyja connection: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frigg_and_Freyja_common_origin_hypothesis

Kinda “two halves of one whole” deal I practice. Freyja herself is a twin. Her father is a wind god and seafarer deity.

[sharp flame]

Friday

[pure loom]

@fallen jasper maybe we need a separate padlet for the Diamond Clues, so we don't forget to work on those?

I only just thought of this now, but maybe the basketball game in the Practice Range was an EE puzzle.

[quiet silo]

Scouring info about Frigg but EE hunting is harder on a phone where I can't have a second window with other info open lol

[crude topaz]

Friday is Freyas day

or so i was learnt at least

[sick stone]

Freyja's name frequently appears in the names of plants, especially in southern Sweden. Various plants in Scandinavia once bore her name, but it was replaced with the name of the Virgin Mary during the process of Christianization.

Mardöll
Potentially 'sea-brightener' by way of mar ('sea') combined with a second element that may be related to Dellingr, indicating light.[12] The name may otherwise mean 'the one who makes the sea swell'.

Mardöll is an alternative name for Freyja

[quiet silo]

I see a VM connection too 👀

Hi @cedar owl.!
I found this ”clue” in the forest, do you think it has something to do with the EE-hunt.?

[cedar owl]

@proud minnow Hmmm. Isn't your farm is pretty close to Gothenburg? 🤔 This might just be a coincidence, Rob.

[proud minnow]

Coincidences.?! There are no coincidences.!

[fallen jasper]

How much do we want to bet it's a Volvo

[quiet silo]

Wow free cars in the woods!

Is this our first arg/geo-cache easter egg? If we find the car in the woods near Gothenburg we get to keep it?!

[sharp flame]

I mean could this confirm the 'car outline'?

Round headlights on it looks like Might be one of these bad boys

also that's some nice photography

[fallen jasper]

Oh nice catch on the headlights

[sharp flame]

also.. farm?!

[quiet silo]

Early 70's late 60's model. Probably more a hint about a car than the actual model but that car was probably sweet once in it's life.

[fallen jasper]

Rob owns a farm... Farming minigame for ARC confirmed?

[sharp flame]

wait would the type of car here actually be a clue

[proud minnow]

hehe, yes I have a super small little farm that's been in my family for 7 generations... ._.

[quiet silo]

I knew they were taking my feedback about more farming sim stuff seriously! After the sound recording video they must be doing research out there.

[sharp flame]

you can't really 'plan' what model of car you run into

but this is Rob so who knows.!

[fallen jasper]

That's nice. We had a house out in the middle of the woods for a couple of generations but I think it got burnt down- hmm

[proud minnow]

There are no coincidences... ._.

[sharp flame]

All I'm thinking now is that Polestar is more strongly confirmed

maybe

[quiet silo]

Run into what are you talking about that must be Rob's project car! That's why Dusty beat him on the commute to the office hahaha

[fallen jasper]

Rob is purposely buying a vintage car, weathering it, and dragging it out into the middle of a forest for a clue

That's some dedication

[proud minnow]

(lolling IRL here at the office due to that comment... ._.)

[quiet silo]

Even cultivated some moss growth

[sharp flame]

Okay so there are some takeaways

[fallen jasper]

Wait a second

so that means Volvo, (and then maybe Polestar)

[limpid mural]

Ah right, Easter eggs... oh boy its fun to check out this place once in a while to see all the insane people

[tulip matrix]

[hidden nacelle]

the moon should be robs face

[neon stream]

Feel free to add it, my PS skills are non existent 😂

[hidden nacelle]

my ps skills are also non existent

[tulip matrix]

I've done enough damage already

[neon stream]

Duh... we have a new task for you... 😇

[tulip matrix]

Where the flock* resides

[neon stream]

That's where we reside 😂

[neon stream]

Perfect! 😂

[sharp flame]

at this rate we're going make Rob scared of posting simple clues 😭

[neon stream]

On the contrary, this is a tactic so he posts clues more frequently to keep us busy and not adventuring into these things 😂

[sharp flame]

Okay I do wanna get consensus here

Is this Polestar?

[neon stream]

Do you have a picture for comparison? 🤔

[sharp flame]

I mean just the gist of the clues

not the actual car sorry

[neon stream]

Oh, ok

[sharp flame]

Car + Gothenburg is Volvo for sure

but we had Torslanda which is specifically Polestar HQ

(I am still 100% on the polestar train)

[neon stream]

hmmmm I guess it is Polestar

There are too many connections to not be it 🤔

[sharp flame]

confirmation bias gang 💪

[neon stream]

Unless it's one of THOSE leads... that end up being nothing 😂

[neon stream]

yeah 😂

[sharp flame]

but yeah ever since Vega last tier

I have been trying to find connections

and now most/all clues are pointing towards the Poles and Polestar

[tulip matrix]

Seems to be the case

[neon stream]

This municipality's coat of arms has both the Pole Star and the Aurora Borealis 😅

(Aurora, I'm quite sure, has the same origin as Aurum (gold) in Latin)

[fringe trench]

I think the car might be a volvo 144

[sharp flame]

yeep

[sharp flame]

misleading af cause I thought that was close to Gothenburg or something 😭 (terrible comprehension skills)

[neon stream]

@fallen jasper Should we use this as the image for the Church Of The Holy Hunters, instead of Rob's NamaTama? 😂

Maybe with NamaTama instead of that Globe

[fallen jasper]

[neon stream]

Or even better: SR! 😂

SR and SD

[timid solstice]

#easter-eggs message

[fallen jasper]

[neon stream]

Yeah, I remember that one. I just didn't want one that didn't include some of the hunters 😛

[fallen jasper]

Thanks Flex4d you reminded me I need to start writing the next tier for the EE hunt on the Wiki

[neon stream]

But yeah, we can use that one too, if you guys want

[sharp flame]

🗿

[fallen jasper]

Rob I am not flying out to Sweden to solve things LMAO

[timid solstice]

The ones not included escaped the asylum!

[neon stream]

We can combine that one and this one, too 🤔

[timid solstice]

https://tenor.com/view/okokokok-clapping-hands-yay-excited-gif-24387954

[sharp flame]

yo

[neon stream]

I just tried to combine them, and realized they are differrent 😅

[sharp flame]

flipped

left-right

[neon stream]

Ohhh thanks

😂

[sharp flame]

also yo

Lewis Gilbert, director of three Bond films

don't think it means anything tho

but there is another 'relevant' Gilbert

(also Brain in a Vat was created by a Gilbert Harman)

[neon stream]

There we go 💪🏻

Oh... Duh is backwards 😭

[sharp flame]

YO!! a lovely monument

[neon stream]

And so is RHB 😭

[sharp flame]

a few faces to fill

possibly

[fallen jasper]

@sharp flame @neon stream @timid solstice How do you guys want to credit people on the hunt btw? This is how I did it for Level 1. Is this acceptable?

[neon stream]

I have to go now, I'll leave the task of flipping the faces to someone else 😂

[neon stream]

Yeah. If it's on the Doc, credit, I guess

[sharp flame]

I think this is more a question for the ppl whose names will be put up there

and how they feel abt it

[neon stream]

Unless you want to go and check the messages... which might take a while... 😅

[fallen jasper]

(You three are always on it in some way shape or form)

[sharp flame]

hahaha, exept for right there

[fallen jasper]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-

did I miss you

[neon stream]

I was there, but didn't contribute much 😂

[sharp flame]

neither

didn't 'solve' anything nor chat much here at that point

[fallen jasper]

Yeah

I was there, but I don't feel like crediting myself for anything since I didn't start doing all the documentation and padlet running until T1B

[neon stream]

gtg, bye

[sharp flame]

lmfao

was looking through old messages

[fallen jasper]

[sharp flame]

Rockhound completely predicted T1-D

[fallen jasper]

What is this thoggers

Why

[sharp flame]

we solved it in August 2022

😮‍💨

[fallen jasper]

I keep running into Flex3d guide have wrong dates

And for some reason I keep forgetting I have a timeline

So I run into trying to figure out if it was uploaded on the 7th or 6th because the 6th sounds wrong but it WAS wrong. And also I'm wrong rn becuase I'm looking at the wrong thing

Truly this is the life

[sharp flame]

both

cause timezones 🧠

[sharp flame]

also those dates are basically the same 😭

[timid solstice]

Time zone issue

I keep to utc

[fallen jasper]

Okay

So

Did we ever figure out what this was LMAO

[timid solstice]

Yes

It’s a description of palms

[fallen jasper]

What was it lol

Okay

[timid solstice]

Fish found IRL image on a tree in the gardens

[fallen jasper]

I was rereading it and moderately lost it seeing minecraft zombie staring at me

[timid solstice]

In google maps

[zenith crown]

was not in the beta ;-;

[fallen jasper]

:(

[zenith crown]

big sad

[neon stream]

Flipped the faces 👍🏻

(We still have 3 faces to fill, if you guys want)

And I guess we should use RHB's new logo

[zenith crown]

no way i just got exposed

[quiet silo]

Caught in 4k Dash

[zenith crown]

;-;

[zenith crown]

where's me?

[neon stream]

I just added SR and SD, not the faces 😛

[zenith crown]

bro really provided proof and shut me down 😭

[neon stream]

Oh, and Nama

[quiet silo]

Before I get the same done to me I wanna write my disclaimer now you were actually caught in 1440p

[zenith crown]

but where is me thooooo?

[neon stream]

You took the picture

[zenith crown]

hmmmmmmmm

[fallen jasper]

Where am I at

[neon stream]

Added the new RHB logo 👍🏻

[fallen jasper]

jk

[neon stream]

There are 3 faces to fill still

[neon stream]

(Nama was backwards before, that's why I posted it twice 😂 )

[fallen jasper]

I am, as always, in your periphery.

👀

[timid solstice]

You are in this one #easter-eggs message

[fallen jasper]

That takes me back

(I still use that pfp literally everywhere else besides here)

[zenith crown]

real

[neon stream]

@timid solstice Could you add 3 more faces to the image? 😛

[fallen jasper]

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Level_Two:_THE_PROMISE

I'll need to add in more images later

[hidden nacelle]

not a zombie head 😔

[sick stone]

Hi! Have we solved it yet?

[pure loom]

You need to add fish and put the 👀 emoji in his hand - always having it at the ready to use 😂

[timid solstice]

Fish is the cat 🐱

[neon stream]

That sounds like an oxymoron 😂

[timid solstice]

You can add the eyes 👀 easy in his hands

[tulip matrix]

catfish

[pure loom]

Did he catfish us?

[sick stone]

Hmmmmm

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/völva

[sharp flame]

🤣

[pure loom]

Oof.

[sharp flame]

🎣

[slender lodge]

meno

[sharp flame]

new me

[pure loom]

The northern celestial hemisphere has a pole star, but here in the southern hemisphere we don’t have one, so instead we extend a line down through the upright stars of the Southern Cross (Crux) and just to the left of the cross are two bright stars known as the Pointers - you draw another line which bisects those perpendicularly. Where the two lines converge is very close to the south celestial pole.

[sharp flame]

southern star?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma_Octantis

was reading about it yesterday

[pure loom]

It may be there, but it’s never used because it’s not very bright and hard to locate.

[sharp flame]

ahh right yeah I see

it's not very practical

[pure loom]

Exactly

[sharp flame]

still it seems like, if pole stars are what we need,

then Rob would also put some reference to the southern one

Brazil Flag is the only place I see where it appears

[pure loom]

https://teara.govt.nz/en/diagram/7486/navigating-by-the-southern-cross

[sharp flame]

we've had Crux before I think

not confirmed but still strong

[pure loom]

Yeah, I thought I’d mention it because of the clue with the cross symbols

[sharp flame]

to be fair

some core thingies in this hunt are popping up all over the place

Eggs, Easter, Gold, etc.

❌ could be a 'cross' aspect

which is also gonna appear all over

we've had false/virtual reality which connects with THE FINALS' whole thing

and we also have Gold and Coins, (connecting to TF also)

[sharp flame]

South Celestial Pole.. SCP.. that's a whole new universe..

[timid solstice]

it was to make your shoulders line up 🙂

[sharp flame]

SCP foundation confirmed 🤯

[timid solstice]

imo we should just do a master list on the ee page if people want a credits/contributions list

[pure loom]

I think we could note who got the password on each tier though.

[sharp flame]

yeah. I mean for big solves/realisations we can name the Hunter right there in the paragraph

like a password yeah

[pure loom]

It’s your reward for having massive brain 🧠

[sharp flame]

sometimes it's just about having the initiative that no-one else does 😭

[pure loom]

Small brain big initiative

[timid solstice]

I agree with that yeah, in paragraph works too

alot of people help with finding the clues in the images too, so a big single list of names makes sense to me

[sharp flame]

man its so funny scrolling back through 1D

we are constantly being hinted at the answer

😭

both Dusty and Rob eyed that

[timid solstice]

who pointed

[sharp flame]

Rock

probably

if I know him

I lied

it was Password Man

[timid solstice]

and resk solved it

[sharp flame]

knew all along

[timid solstice]

kept that infos to themselves

[sharp flame]

if you think about it...

[timid solstice]

I completely missed this I think

[pure loom]

I point at fish

[sharp flame]

perhaps my initial comment which prompted Darnoux's response which got Rob and Dusty's reaction which caught Resk's attention was TRULY the catalyst for the answer
... in fact

I think you should actually put
Password : fish

[timid solstice]

one day

[pure loom]

Your idea has been noted.

[sharp flame]

😭 LMFAO

nice guy employer message vibe

you just need a 🙂 at the end haha

[pure loom]

Nice guy going through the motions after too much time in the job

[sick stone]

#easter-eggs message I've looked into it already, but I couldn't find anything

[sick stone]

heyy, this is good

#easter-eggs message

How did you get there, @pure loom?

[sharp flame]

I assume by looking it up 🤣

[pure loom]

Fish was talking about polestar

I goggled it

[sharp flame]

you what?

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/rain-dog-goggles-silly-wipers-gif-7255151

[sick stone]

he looked at it with his specs

I'd say that makes the southern cross idea a bit stronger

[sharp flame]

I reckon it's a secondary at most though

no clue is referencing it yet

[sick stone]

Considering it connects with arctic exploration>poles and sailors(nautilus<ammonoidea) as well as pollux>twins

[sick stone]

truetrue

Freyja feels closer

[pure loom]

Just to add to it though - thinking about “doubles” - the pointers are a pair and the left pointer Alpha Centauri is a binary star

[sick stone]

Had venus show up as a maybe connection to Freyja through norse seers "Völva" possible namesake

[sharp flame]

namesake of Volvo?

[sick stone]

Virgin Mary, gold and Venus haunts me

[sick stone]

no, but that was why I looked into it (the similarity)

#easter-eggs message

^

[sharp flame]

yep I saw

I still wonder if Vega is our endgame

[sick stone]

Also, there are two almost identical Freyja pages. One where a priestess bearing a necklace with a figurine connected to Freyja is called a "priestess" and another where they're called a "Völva"

[sharp flame]

or if that's another branch which points backwards into the Poles of Earth and not Polestar

[sick stone]

t3

or t2 perhaps

[sharp flame]

?

[sick stone]

tier 3

[sharp flame]

Rob's timescale was more 'after you solve this tier'

[pure loom]

Exactly. We don’t know if these are primary, secondary etc clues

[sharp flame]

so I assume when we had gotten to Vega we would say 'Look! this connects to Halley's Comet! and 79! and 137! and Zorro!'

[sick stone]

I think tier 2

[sharp flame]

we have Polar stars already in this tier. What are the odds we don't have Vega as a clue this tier?

like, I feel like if any tier were to have Vega it would be this one

[sick stone]

I mean you already found a friday>gold/Vega connection

so if this tier ends up on Freyja/Frigg

[sharp flame]

since we have the Poles and Polar stars being what ALL the clues point to

[sick stone]

then it fits well if Tier 2 is "leftovers" from tier 1

[sharp flame]

that would kill me

😭

we would have no idea if something is truly connected or not

it would be so convoluted I can't even imagine

[sick stone]

just seems like what it's building towards

[sick stone]

"Gold" could be one answer

Vega another

something along those lines

[sharp flame]

okay sure

to be fair Vega hasn't shown up explicitly yet

only Polestar

but that's damn close

and Polestar seems to be all-but confirmed after the Rob+Dusty messages today

oh!

Wind comes from the Poles

idk how I forgot that earlier

The two main causes of large-scale atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect).

searched 'Wind' and this came up lol

[neon stream]

Thanks! 💪🏻

[neon stream]

I like having the lists being per tier, but I understand why having just one would help

[sharp flame]

kinda does a FOMO thing tbf (list per tier)

[fallen jasper]

We can definitely do both

I'm still trying to figure out how to lay it all out

[sharp flame]

I think the point of doing a big one is so that we don't do per tier

how about per T1, T2 and T3?

that seems reasonable

[fallen jasper]

Yeah

[neon stream]

Yeah, I understand that. I just like having a place that credits everyone who helped find the password for that tier

[sharp flame]

I would say if we do that to include more people rather than less

[neon stream]

Yeah, ofc. The only thing about that, is that we have to go back and check all the old messages 😅

[sharp flame]

Much rather someone be in it and humbly say 'I shouldn't be there' over someone not being in

[sharp flame]

and yeah that's the cost of that

[neon stream]

100% agree

[sharp flame]

which probably means going through all the messages and picking out EVERY unique contributor

I don't see a big problem with crediting the person who 'finds' the answer

it does create plenty more incentive for others to try passwords

and incentive is very much essential to faster password-finding

[neon stream]

I guess we should define what a "contribution" is, so people dont just come in here, say "hi", and leave, just to be there 😂

[sharp flame]

I literally mean even if its wrong

anything which IS EE related

like if someone comes in and says 'the earrings kinda line up in an L shape'

put them in

again, longer rather than shorter

we don't need people thinking that they aren't helpful

hell, the ones here with the most messages are probably getting the most misfires.!

[neon stream]

True. I didn't mean in contribution as "something that ends up helping find the answer", just not someone that just asks what's this about, and things like that, and then leaves. Without contributing to the actual hunt

[sharp flame]

haha I assume the person doing the scrolling will have thought of that

it's just sad that the speed at which we are doing clues and stuff are scaring away new people

the only times we get new folk is when we are stuck with a clue

(like this md5, crosses)

once we get to a point where the main clues are found, nobody wants to join the thinktank where all the ideas have already been floated (or they assume that)

[neon stream]

Yeah, I hope that once RHB finishes his EE Tutorial video, that'll change. And show that it's easier to participate than it looks

[sharp flame]

🙏

[pure loom]

So I should lie in the video?

Jk

[sharp flame]

😭

[neon stream]

Just say that you don't need a PhD to join, a Master's is fine

[pure loom]

Phew

Lol

[pure loom]

We've had car clues (Polestar in Torslanda) and snowflake clues - maybe the combo is a snow mobile? But then this photo would seem way too close to that

[sharp flame]

**Vulcan **and Mars are the male counterparts of Venus (friday)

[sharp flame]

was gonna reply with a laughing emoji until I realised that would just look mean 😭

[pure loom]

If we think about Rob's previous IRL clue (Sergels Torg) that was a secondary clue to ovals, so at least one step away

[pure loom]

Sometimes the truth hurts lol

[sharp flame]

definitely, I think it's towards the car company though

is what Dusty was saying at least

[sharp flame]

nooo it was more I thought that was a joke 😭 wait that sounds like I'm being even meaner

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/joker-hit-me-angry-the-dark-knight-gif-11972271

[sharp flame]

imagining Rob posting himself on a snowmobile now

just for this tier

[sharp flame]

but yeah I think this is in reference to Polestar (if not Volvo)

[pure loom]

Rob The Ski-Dooer

where's Duh??

haha

[sharp flame]

the insinuation is that it's a coincidence because Rob is close to a car producer seller

I was gonna say producer but Polestar produces in China lol

[pure loom]

trying to flog off his failed restoration project to us

[sharp flame]

but yeah, Volvo is the bigger 'thing' but that doesn't seem to connect

Volvo means 'I roll' in latin, incase that's the clue

but yeah Polestar means.. Polestar in english

seems pretty solid to me

[hidden nacelle]

Polaris Industries is a is an American automotive manufacturer

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaris_Inc.

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/rolling-eyes-gif-22773102

[sharp flame]

we never got to if California was a clue

but incase y'all missed it Rob's old 'Corophium Arenarium' message was a CA clue

had a little mindblow there

we never really got to what CA meant in 0vif0rm's context

[pure loom]

I took that as a Poland clue

[sharp flame]

right, but idk I just noticed it and it lines up too well

it's a two-word message

with the initials CA

[balmy fog]

a

[pure loom]

Where do you see Cali fitting in?

[balmy fog]

b

c

[sharp flame]

I don't.. it's probably something like RN

[sharp flame]

oh right. why I mention it now..

[pure loom]

RN?

[sharp flame]

Registered Nurse.. Radon.. T1C

those initials

[pure loom]

Corophium Arenarium was for Tier 1D

[sharp flame]

yeah exactly

[pure loom]

yeah, so how does California fit with ovals and o=0?

[sharp flame]

@pure loom I said idk 😭

[pure loom]

oh lol

[sharp flame]

but it's clearly a clue

'CA'

[pure loom]

gotcha

[sharp flame]

his 'CrAzy' was also T1D

[pure loom]

yeah

[sharp flame]

also there were plenty of Cali connections

Berkeley, Zorro, Eureka

however not really strong enough to say outright

[pure loom]

Cassini maybe?

seems weak though

[sharp flame]

hmm maybe

[sick stone]

Wait a minute

[sharp flame]

wait let me get to the thingy I was gonna say in the first message

but forgot to

[sick stone]

Looking at the Volvo logo

[pure loom]

sorry I interrupted

[sharp flame]

😭

[sick stone]

And Freyja/Frigg

[sharp flame]

gonna cry again

[sick stone]

male counterparts?

[sharp flame]

not much to interrupt 😭

just me overclueing

[sharp flame]

this?

[pure loom]

https://fabrikbrands.com/volvo-logo-history-volvo-symbol-meaning/

[sharp flame]

oh that one

haha

[sick stone]

As in a male counterpart to polestar

[sharp flame]

that's a nice angle

[pure loom]

"Though this image became synonymous with the male gender during the Renaissance, Volvo chose the image for its other, alchemic meaning.
The symbol was also used as a chemical symbol for iron."

[sharp flame]

WAIT

[sick stone]

Saw that earlier too

[sharp flame]

Earth's Core>!

[sick stone]

Couldn’t connect it though

[sharp flame]

cause of Magnetism?!

[sick stone]

Fish can though

[pure loom]

yeah

"fish can" lol

[sharp flame]

lmfao sorry

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-tuna-can-nightmare-gif-23813172

[sharp flame]

just saw it and had to say it

if it's about the poles and not exactly the stars

we can then ignore Polestar (for now)

[sick stone]

Maybe “counterpart” is the keyword?

[sharp flame]

because the Volvo logo is Iron, and now we have a neat Magnetism clue

[pure loom]

yeah, I think it's a tertiary or secondary clue

[pure loom]

which would work with the possible paleomagnetism path

[sharp flame]

we definitely have more Pole clues than we do Pole *star clues

so I will ignore my confirmation bias

[pure loom]

Earth's core seems like a good path to explore

[sharp flame]

but in terms of doubles tho

I think it's more the Poles

[sharp flame]

(in theory though the core should come up in a few clues)

by the way I just had another brainwave

Layers of the Earth

[sick stone]

I mean it is literally everywhere this tier. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is both a tertiary, secondary and primary clue

[sharp flame]

Image #1 had an outline around it

like a full 1 pixel outline

[sick stone]

Because we’ve found pairs pointing to twins pointing to copies and counterparts

[sharp flame]

like this could totally be a layers-of-the-earth reference

[sick stone]

I like the idea

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/anchorman-go-on-please-go-on-on-a-date-will-ferrell-gif-16513199

[pure loom]

yes

[sharp flame]

idk

but think about that 1-pixel layer

if you guys look for it it's definitely there

and only in that one image

why is there a layer surrounding the image

[pure loom]

inb4 crust clue

[sharp flame]

Also I'm not sure about William Gilbert

Rob kinda pointed us at another Gilbert

even though now magnetism+poles seems stronger

I don't know what to make of that one anymore

[pure loom]

I'm confused, which one did he point to?

[sharp flame]

@pure loom

you did the honors lol

[pure loom]

lol

[sharp flame]

also

Gilbert Lewis == Lewis Gilbert

name swippy swappy

Double Lewis Gilbert 🤯

[sharp flame]

but yeah I don't know if William Gilbert is even what he thought of when he said Gilbert

[pure loom]

wow

this looks promising

[sick stone]

If we’re looking at it as layers of the earth, maybe atmosphere representation?

[sharp flame]

Director of 3 Bond films.. but I don't think Bond personally has been drawn in

I think it's a reference imo

[pure loom]

I did refer to You Only Live Twice previously, which he directed

[sick stone]

And if Norse: Ymir’s skull?

[sharp flame]

Hank actually came in w the idea first 💪

it's so useful that people forget to shorten Wiki links

[pure loom]

I forgot about this!

[sharp flame]

it's really beautiful

cause I can search for a term and all of its mentions come up

but even the old Wiki links with it there

it's the only reason I found the connection

lol

cause Gilbert shows up in the lil wiki description that Hank posted

[sharp flame]

toooo deeeeeeep

[crude topaz]

im guessing that volvo is a volvo amazon

[sharp flame]

hmm...

[sharp flame]

that's pretty damn close

[crude topaz]

<-- almost car guy

[sharp flame]

I mean did you think of volvo amazon before or after we said volvo

[crude topaz]

I live in Sweden and work on cars as hobby

but i dont consider myself as a car guy lol

[sharp flame]

nono but like if you knew it at first sight as opposed to having the Volvo suggestion already there

it could reinforce our Volvo very strongly

[hidden nacelle]

did any of you check the image for any clues?

[crude topaz]

yeah its a volvo, check the hood front

[sharp flame]

it's definitely an image Rob took

[crude topaz]

now thers snow and the hood is on its side but you can read parts of the old volvo letters in silver

[sharp flame]

at least reverse image search yielded nothing

oh shit

the V is super visible

lmao

[crude topaz]

yeah

[sharp flame]

no doubt about it at all

it could be plenty of Volvo cars though

[hidden nacelle]

looks like the left side should be snow no? or am i just dumb

[sharp flame]

(not that it has to matter which one)

[sharp flame]

that's the rest of the car

[crude topaz]

think the double side window was an option

[hidden nacelle]

omg im stupid i thought it was like the background

[sharp flame]

😭

[hidden nacelle]

lol

[sharp flame]

nah it aint that

[crude topaz]

anyway, i dont think the model really matters right?

[sharp flame]

but yeah

you can tell by the wheel holes

arch is different

[sharp flame]

(unless it does)
