I just think the way its arranged, especially with the second one being a different arrangement

Hmmm.. the spectrometer on the Rosetta spacecraft is called ALICE

"The ASA (American Standards Association) scale is an arbitrary rating of film speed; that is, the sensitivity of the film to light. If everything else is kept constant, the required exposure time is inversely proportional to the ASA rating." - but I think you're right - "distant" doesn't really fit with that at all

Have you guys check this before?

no, I don't think it's been looked at yet - it could be a shoutout clue

Rosetta is a dynamic binary translator developed by Apple Inc. for macOS, an application compatibility layer between different instruction set architectures. It enables a transition to newer hardware, by automatically translating software. The name is a reference to the Rosetta Stone, the artifact which enabled translation of Egyptian hieroglyph...

I really think if we pile on this with more possible connections we can get some progress!

There are plenty of loose ends rn

Did we get any 👀 during this tier? 🤔

With the multiple COMET clues and now the Rosetta mission, perhaps we should be looking into that a bit

I’ve been working my way through the Rosetta Stone Wikipedia page. I also read a bit on steles

It was discovered in 1799

There’s 79 again leoPoint

I swear I saw someone, couple days ago, shared an example ambigram: halley. I can't find it but Halley's Comet?

The comet itself is kinda a double with 2 ends

or two parts

(two lobes)

Super interesting that the comet itself fits with the doubles theme

Interestingly enough that Comet 46 P/Wirtanen is not mentioned in 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko wiki. This is next to look into

i have 49>79< ya or na? @pure loom

Both could just be coincidences - eventually we'll see numbers that match up even if they have nothing to do with the EE

@sharp flame have you found any scientist who was part of the Rosetta project?

The Rosetta lander was named Philae after this obelisk which was used just like Rosetta

south wyvern
#

Are we booking Egypt? SCplane

pure loom
#

One thing I like about the Philae lander path (if you can call it that yet), is that the first image (Up We Go) has a lot of debris flying around in it - which would fit well with that idea of a lander disturbing the surface of a comet or asteroid.... oh!... OSIRIS-REX

#

🦖

south wyvern
#

Yes. Yes. "A landslide on a comet has been documented by astronomers, known as 'Aswan', cliff around the “wing” area of the duck-shaped comet 67P." Aswan is also in the picture.

Could the 46 11 94 represent hue rotations?

#

Are you able to go from a hue to another by applying the rotations to another color? like #206888, with those rotations applied?

sharp flame
#

I was thinking maybe it was just RGB values

#

but that brought us nowhere yet

#

Do you think the Titanic clues are meant to point that way, or they are secondary or tertiary clues? 🤔

#

Hmmm

How did we arrive to "Kari"? could it be "Karl"? 🤔

All of which are confirmed and confirm each other

just wanted to save you from the rabbit hole 😭🙏

I keep seeing blue (the color) and the Hope Diamond

and I thought maybe it could be "Karl" instead of "Kari", because of this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–Strunz_classification

Nickel–Strunz classification is a scheme for categorizing minerals based upon their chemical composition, introduced by German mineralogist Karl Hugo Strunz (24 February 1910 – 19 April 2006) in his Mineralogische Tabellen (1941). The 4th and the 5th edition was also edited by Christel Tennyson (1966). It was followed by A.S. Povarennykh with a ...

Oh. I figured it could be a reference to "similar but different", because of the Titanic's sister ships. And also the Heart of the Ocean being based on the Hope Diamond

I'm glad you did because I don't have the attention span to sift thru all that haha

I wish this would be in English, it would fit with many things from this level. I don't understand much French, but there are some great connections. But yeah, not in English, so I doubt it's actually connected 😅

https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Météores_(Descartes)

Les Météores sont l'un des trois essais publiés en 1637 par René Descartes conjointement au Discours de la Méthode.
Les corpus de La Dioptrique, Les Météores et La Géométrie étaient destinés à montrer les résultats obtenus en suivant les préceptes de raison et de recherche de vérité dans les sciences énoncés dans la première partie de l'ouvrage...

This is an odd object - it seems to be a diamond-shaped piece of glass. It doesn't seem to fit the image as there's no other debris in the image.

#

A lozenge ( LOZ-inj; symbol: ◊), often referred to as a diamond, is a form of rhombus. The definition of lozenge is not strictly fixed, and the word is sometimes used simply as a synonym (from Old French losenge) for rhombus. Most often, though, lozenge refers to a thin rhombus—a rhombus with two acute and two obtuse angles, especially one with...

Yeah, I expect there'll be hundreds of things it could be. Maybe it's a very specific image of something.

Smoked diamonds came to my mind. However, the churches windows have various shapes so is lozenge, known as coloured/stained glass.

so that image was after Tier 1D and before the start of this tier

Ok, how’s this for a freakish coincidence - as well as the Philae lander touching down on November 12, 2014, the day was also when actor Warren Clark passed away. One of his film roles was in the movie S.O.S. Titanic. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Clarke

Warren Clarke (born Alan James Clarke; 26 April 1947 – 12 November 2014) was an English actor. He appeared in many films after a significant role as Dim in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. His television appearances included Dalziel and Pascoe (as Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel), The Manageress and Sleepers.

It’s the years the three sister ships including titanic were put to sea 1911, 1912 and 1914 and November 12, 2014 is when the Philae lander touched down (which has that link to the ASADISTANT book Flex found).

The wings kinda look like perspective lines - parallel lines meeting at infinity

nimble iron
#

like a warp filter

nimble iron
quiet silo
#

It's a paradox known in art. Perspective lines on a 2d plane look to extend into infinity while also look like they are going to collide somewhere down the line. "Meeting at infinity." is an impossible concept anyway.

pure loom
# nimble iron paralel lines do not meet at infinity

In geometry and topology, the line at infinity is a projective line that is added to the real (affine) plane in order to give closure to, and remove the exceptional cases from, the incidence properties of the resulting projective plane. The line at infinity is also called the ideal line.

Linear or point-projection perspective (from Latin: perspicere 'to see through') is one of two types of graphical projection perspective in the graphic arts; the other is parallel projection. Linear perspective is an approximate representation, generally on a flat surface, of an image as it is seen by the eye. Perspective drawing is useful for r...

A phase diagram in physical chemistry, engineering, mineralogy, and materials science is a type of chart used to show conditions (pressure, temperature, volume, etc.) at which thermodynamically distinct phases (such as solid, liquid or gaseous states) occur and coexist at equilibrium.

We use other websites to reveal info - is it any different?

so say if it can solve it then it would ruin the fun of figuering it out

I'd argue that the sites also ruin a tiny part of it

if we get an AI clue-recognition tool up in here

that would also feel wrong

You could argue that using Photoshop ruins it, I suppose - but we'd be lost without it

Humpty Dumpty is a character in an English nursery rhyme, probably originally a riddle and one of the best known in the English-speaking world. He is typically portrayed as an anthropomorphic egg, though he is not explicitly described as such. The first recorded versions of the rhyme date from late eighteenth-century England and the tune from 18...

Rob has confirmed he is not in anymore

Correct!

what?

yeah because of the Gene named after Sonic 😭 which can do some pretty bad things to early development in children

the images are not pretty at all

I honestly disagree. With other websites it takes effort, and a bit of judgement, and research. With ChatGPT you skip all that and just get the answer. If we do it like that, we might as well ask Rob to just give us the clues in plain text, and we just combine them. Setting limits to how to use it sounds reasonable, but someone could just say "I didn't know we couldn't use it for THAT", and just spoil the puzzle. But yeah, that's just my opinion...🤷🏻‍♂️

So guys.. I was thinking right..

#

I downloaded a geocaching app for an activity for my students a while back and it just sent me a random notification about a geocache nearby

#

And it reminded me that one of the first things yall found was “geocache”

#

Did anyone ever check all these coordinates we found for geocaches?

unkempt crypt
#

Why not?

#

I’m not gonna be home till after the weekend and I have to go straight to work, but y’all should probably consider that some of these clues are geocaches

#

Maybe I’m too simpleminded but come on kekw

quiet silo
#

I think rob confirmed for us that there would be no physical easter egg clues YET

unkempt crypt
#

But who said geocaches have to be physical?

#

They can also be virtual tokens on maps?

#

Back in the day I used to win all kinds of prizes that were geocaches but not to physical objects

#

If you checked that location you could claim the prize

quiet silo
#

Ahhhh I've always known geocaches to be physical, but that makes sense.

sharp flame

Well in that case it was a gps location and when the app saw you were within range it allowed you to claim a prize and you filled out your address and they would send it to ya

indigo chasm
# timid solstice was Dusty speaking Brainfuck? > Excerpt from the Dusty Sea Scrolls: > > "0++åp...

So apparently åp means the word open in Norwegian. What Dusty has posted kinda does look like the Brainfuck (programming) language? There, + is defined as the increment (+1) of the current value referenced to. The value being referenced could be the 0? So 0++ would result in => number 2. We got 0++åp, right? This could then translate to 2open.
So the following:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++0+,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
could then maybe be the password or something?

#

An idea that came to my mind at 4am KEKW

jade citrus
#

So increment to 165, then a zero, then increment again, then store a value 58 times in the same cell.

#

165 0 1 58 ?

indigo chasm
#

yeah I'm also tryna figure it out currently

jade citrus
#

It seems promising

indigo chasm
#

maybe what Flex4d has posted is a valid Brainfuck program

#

this here

#

i'm tryna structure it and run it

jade citrus
#

I think that's just an example script to show what brainfuck looks like

#

it prints "Hello world"

indigo chasm
#

lmao yeah I was wondering because it outputted a simple Hello world!

#

yeah

indigo chasm
jade citrus
#

It looks like brainfuck code won't display any numbers in the output window unless they're ASCII encoded

#

So to display 7 you would add 48, and then output.

#

On an unrelated note, I've noticed a recurring year from one of the clues, 1668. The Hope Diamond was gifted to King Louis XIV in 1668, relating to the one image in the Chill clue. Also in 1668, Isaac Newton produced the first reflecting telescope, leading back to reflection/refraction, and also astronomy in general.

#

Also there's a painting by Vermeer called The Astronomer that was made in 1668.

we have plenty of clues which need unclueing

we'd need to split it across different types of media apart from images for it to really count I think

and maybe also have a narrative...

We also have a few clues about Ice and Snow! Snowflakes seem to fit there..

#

One theory we have, connecting the Ice and the Doubles/Pairs,
is the two Poles of the Earth, North and South Pole.

#

but I won't get any deep into that unless you ask :)

mortal ivy
#

I just noticed that the ice looks like this... Have we made sure that there isn't a QR code hidden somewhere

sharp flame
#

Interesting that you think of it as Ice and not like cave formations for the Bat

mortal ivy
#

Aah, haha. I did say "ice or stalactites" the first time I found them

#

But I guess ice was just easier

sharp flame
#

I mean ice caves exist and so do icicles. It could totally be a double!

jade citrus
#

has anyone tried overlaying the right side and the left side of these icicles? i think they are mirrored

#

it could reveal something in the noise maybe

mortal ivy
#

yeah they are mirrored, you are correct

#

I'll test it and see what happens 🙂

#

the whiter part on the right is actually just a section off the middle cut out and pasted there

Oh, do you mean parts of it aren’t linear, in other words overhang, in which case I agree.

#

Ah yes. I’m on mobile so it was a bit hard to see that.

#

Or the black is stalagmites

hmm , refresh me. What the Amazon lead to?

or connect with

#

They do look quite icicle-y

sharp flame
nimble olive

binary?

#

really could be either

mortal ivy
#

stalactites are abit more ring shapes, as the grow little by little

#

icicles are more smooth

sharp flame
nimble iron
nimble olive
#

each pixel is either black or white and so if you take each pixel it would be a very long code but it could be a paragraph

it seems more like icicles to me, mostly because they are kinda fused together at the top

mortal ivy
#

But ice is a much more common theme through this tier though 🤔
