this is interesting

#

maybe it means t1-f minus 1

#

or not, maybe it's just a continuation

#

I've already tried vit2llus šŸ˜­

coral wing
#

not sure if any importance

sharp flame
#

That's not the full version

coral wing
#

so i thought but i couldnt seem to find it on just the image, if that makes any sense

#

i opened the image in new page and tried to inspect but couldnt find a classification for it...

sharp flame
coral wing
#

it being the image

#

long story short i inspected element trying to get to console to scrub for websites hidden on page using a codeline

#

inbetween doing this i decided to check out the image on source page to see if it had any relevance

coral wing
#

i then went to the fullsize version by right clicking and > open image in new tab, and couldnt not find what i found before on inspect element

#

so thats why i only posted these dimensions versus the "fullsize" ones we have...

jade citrus
#

maybe "ready" means that we already have everything we need and it's ready for the password

sharp flame
#

it's t1-f-1

#

and "GLHF" means there's stuff to be solving already

#

t1-f-1 seems like an extension of t1-f

#

in that final Namatama image, we had Nama dressed up as Buckminster Fuller

#

maybe that's for this

jade citrus
#

aurum is gold in latin

#

hmmmmm

coral wing
#

t1-f webp has a hidden link blocked somewhere supposedly

#

maybe video needs to be scrubbed?

#

yeah 100% that video link is imbedded in the page

#

but where...

#

and why...?

sharp flame
#

88 * 228 = 20064

#

1032 + 432 (gif dimensions) is 1464

#

both end in 64..

also.. why ABC..

like 2ABC (which is hexadecimal for 10940 by the way)

are we thinking the answer could have something to do with how/why the tiers are structured the way they are

timid solstice
#

is the cursor like the zx spectrum?

#

the diagonal artefacts behind "READY" is like the zx spectrum logo

sharp flame
#

the width of these diagonals vary

#

the one containing the E is about 250 long

#

and the one with the D about 219

#

then there is the darkest blue which is about 260

and etc.

not sure if that means something

those 4 diagonals remind me of the zx spectrum logo...

The Trap Door is a British animated television series, originally shown in the United Kingdom in 1986.

"Commodore took the source code of the flat-fee BASIC and further developed it internally for all their other 8-bit home computers. It was not until the Commodore 128 (with V7.0) that a Microsoft copyright notice was displayed. However, Microsoft had built an easter egg into the version 2 or "upgrade" Commodore Basic that proved its provenance: typing the (obscure) command WAIT 6502, 1 would result in Microsoft! appearing on the screen. (The easter egg was well-obfuscatedā€”the message did not show up in any disassembly of the interpreter.)[2]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_white Albumen could fit the theme and be a part of the egg not covered in D,E,F

Egg white

Egg white is the clear liquid (also called the albumen or the glair/glaire) contained within an egg. In chickens it is formed from the layers of secretions of the anterior section of the hen's oviduct during the passage of the egg. It forms around fertilized or unfertilized egg yolks. The primary natural purpose of egg white is to protect the yo...

ALBUMEN.

The most common and familiar form of -Albumen is the white of egg (Albumen Ovi), which is freshly obtained from hen's eggs, or may be had in the market dried in scales or granulated. Another variety is obtained from blood and other animal fluids, and still another is found in the juices and seeds of plants.

White of Egg is the only form of albumen used in pharmacy. It is also considerably used in the arts for various purposes, as calico printing, making photographic paper etc. In pharmaceutical preparations the natural white of egg, which contains about 12y 2 percent, of albumen, is generally used, but dried-egg albumen is sometimes employed.

The chemical composition of albumen has not yet been definitely ascertained. It is the Sphinx of the chemist, and its formula is still written with an interrogation point (?).. It has been found however, to contain sodium, sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen and (white of egg) about 85 percent, of water. Gerhard has given its approximate formula as :

OVUM. Egg. Hen's Egg. 

The fresh egg of the domestic fowl, Gallus Bankiva, var. domestica, Tern- 
mink (Fam. Gallinae). Native of Java and Cochin-China, but now domesticated 
in all countries. 

Testa Ovi. Egg shell. This consists chiefly of calcium carbonate, calcium 
phosphate and magnesium carbonate, together with gelatinous material which 
serves as an adhesive. It may be powdered and used as an antacid, but is of 
doubful medicinal value. 

Albumen Ovi. White of Egg. Consisting chiefly of proteids, used in making 
some pharmaceutical preparations, and dried, forming albumin Ovi Siccum, 
which is extensively used in calico printing and photography, and for many 
other industrial purposes. 

Vitellum Ovi. Yolk of Egg. Used in making emulsions and some med- 
icinal compounds. 

The entire contents of the egg, either together or separate, are used as food.

Thought about this more, think albumin is unlikely because we've never seen it as part of Nama (afaik)

fallen jasper
#

Albumin is a family of globular proteins, the most common of which are the serum albumins. All of the proteins of the albumin family are water-soluble, moderately soluble in concentrated salt solutions
I can't tell if it's just the reflections but it does look like there's a small amount of liquid at the bottom of the tube.

That may just be defraction of the bottom of Nama's hand. Hard to tell

pure loom
# frigid hornet What's the role of egg whites in gestation, again?

ā€œThe primary natural purpose of egg white is to protect the yolk and provide additional nutrition for the growth of the embryo (when fertilized). Egg white consists primarily of about 90% water into which about 10% proteins (including albumins, mucoproteins, and globulins) are dissolved. Unlike the yolk, which is high in lipids (fats), egg white contains almost no fat, and carbohydrate content is less than 1%. Egg whites contain about 56% of the protein in the egg.ā€

I think the test tube is empty, yeah. You could say that it's clear (as in albumen) and there's a glare, buuut that's probably just circumstance. Still, might as well bring it up lol

Is there any hidden messages found in the test tube?
Just getting into this so i gotta catchup-

Probably

#

Could be pointing toward something more general like a scientific thing

We've gotten chemical compounds as a password so

The most recent image in #official-art doesn't even have egg whites

tbf most of the Nama images don't have egg whites

Just full yolk

#

True, but you'd think a blueprint would have all components šŸ¤”

wind mantle
#

Unless Nama is 10% shell 85% yolk, and 5% YOKED

frigid hornet
#

So the formula for albumin is C6H8N2O4
If we have any unresolved codes maybe we can use that as a means to try and decipher it?

Slide rule

It is not typically designed for addition or subtraction,...

7152 Euneus

7152 Euneus is a Jupiter trojan from the Greek camp, approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) in diameter. It was discovered during the second Palomarā€“Leiden Trojan survey in 1973, and later named after Euneus from Greek mythology. The dark Jovian asteroid has a rotation period of 9.7 hours and is likely spherical in shape.

Not an anagram for DEF, but this seemed similar to Per Aspera Ad Astera:

macte virtute sic itur ad astra

leaden stirrup

A question i'm asking is if the orginial LOADING and READY gifs were just to direct us to the C64 or is there something else

#

Since Rob posted the C64 READY gif after we got lost on where it could come from

leaden stirrup
#

He just posted a C64 READY gif but why ?

coarse dagger
#

Are you referring to the GIF I just linked?

#

I see now, it's basically confirmed

leaden stirrup
#

Yes the GIF you linked

#

Peoples were guessing where the cursor could come from

#

Idk how to link message but "ZX Spectrum" and "Apple II" were proposed as possible origin of the commands

coarse dagger
sharp flame
leaden stirrup
#

From what i gathered :

  • The passwords for previous tiers were related to themes of eggs and gold.
  • Tier 2ABC redirects to a route that extends from Tier 1f (/t1-f-1), potentially indicating a continuation of the gold theme. And since the Tier 2def redrirect to a route using a different pattern (/t1-def) it could mean something.
  • Rob stated that "...T2ABC & T2DEF are actually pretty obvious,..." suggesting that the solution may be straightforward. But since the available routes don't match the Tier 2 i don't know.
  • A gif was uploaded on the Tier 1F page with the word "LOADING" along with a blinking cursor (And stated he didn't hide anything the gif) which was then replaced by another gif with the word "READY" also along with a blinking cursor (This one seems to have things hidden inside).
  • Rob posted a message mentioning a "strange cursor" and wondered why it is strange.
  • People tried to identify the origin of the commands and cursor. "Sinclair Zx Spectrum" and "Apple II" were mentioned.
  • Rob then posted a new gif with the "READY." but this time it was quickly recognized as a C64 BASIC command. The name of the gif file is "Nonexistasnonexieris". The gif was posted after some peoples struggle to figure out where the command along the cursor could come from but i could be a coincidence.
#
  • Rob also responded to two users messages :
    • our work here is done... for now -> For ONE second I thought you had solved itā€¦
    • wrong channel -> EXACTLY, this is not a channel for quitters, this is a channel for curious adventurers who always seek the truth, that never stop until they struck gold.!
      Those messages contains the words "EXACTLY" and "ONE" in capital letters and strange words like "curious adventurer", "seek the truth", "never stop" and "struck gold" possibly indicating their importance in the context of the puzzle or having hidden meaning.
  • Rob also stated that "you are ready" after Fish posted a message trying to look deep in Rob's previous messages. Fish message mentionned "curious adventurers = CA", "'struck gold' is pretty on the nose here tho", Fish also linked the wikipedia page of gold and a screenshot of it's electron configuration. Maybe it's a coincidence he said "you are ready" after this message.
  • Rob emoted with happy_friend to Fish message : "we have all we need, is basically what he's saying (maybe)" which was a response to Rob's "You are ready" message.
  • Rob edited the "Never give up" aka Digging for Diamonds meme posted by Flex4d, replacing the diamonds by gold nuggets. (Never give up = Non desistas.)

hastags are for directing straight to headers

hidden nacelle
#

oh

coarse dagger
#

So that's trying to bring you to the header FF0000

#

But it doesn't exist

#

So it brings you to the top

#

Correct me if I'm wrong. Never done web dev, but taken a class a while back in college

#

For example

i was trying the hexadecimal number for red

#

if you send me the image you need i can grab it for ya

coarse dagger
#

Well yeah, but then how do you easily isolate those colors? I've tried select -> color range but that doesn't seem to work how I would expect; and I've tried a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer which also doesn't give me the right result. Magic wand seems to work great

frigid hornet
#

ohhhhhh

coarse dagger
frigid hornet
#

so basically what lulz is asking is how to isolate say only ffeeee so the rest of it is gone except for that color, if that makes sense

#

I'm looking rn but I only have pixlr, not photoshop, so i might not be able to do it šŸ«”

coarse dagger
#

Yes, this works great

#

But none of the pixels are #887ecb or #50459b from the color palette

frigid hornet
#

what image are we looking at and what are we looking for?

hidden nacelle
frigid hornet
#

okie, so are we getting rid of everything that isn't the ZX spectrum logo looking thing so we can just look at that?
You gotta explain things to me pretty directly rn, i'm still feeling the anesthesia KEKW

im rlly surprised how they manage to hide url

hidden nacelle
#

we dont even know if there is a url or not

sharp flame
#

honestly I've been trying a few URLS

#

but honestly it seems like we should be shooting straight for the password box

coarse dagger
#

We're not supposed to use scrapers
Nonetheless I'm sure Rob is careful enough no-one would be able to ruin the game that way. Password box is my bet too

#

Scrapers? Trawlers? Whatever the correct term is

hidden nacelle
#

you mean brute forcing?

coarse dagger
#

I mean utilizing tools to extract info from the website without getting their through EE approved methods

potent fractal
#

i mean

#

i used a crawler for my personnal use

#

and even with dns it cant find unlinked pages

hidden nacelle
#

yeah were not allowed to do that, friend

potent fractal
#

i think i have been pretty explicit, its for my personnal use

sharp flame
#

kk just we like to throw in prewarnings cause usually people just post their URL findings without knowing that we shouldn't exactly be finding them that way šŸ¤£

#

and at that point it's too late cause now we already know the hidden URL šŸ˜­

coarse dagger
#

Personal use gets pretty muddled when you're participating in the EE channel ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

in any way

sharp flame
#

there's always more

potent fractal
#

anyways i didnt manage to find anything since its not linked page and its maybe better like that

sharp flame
#

the point is we find them by solving EEs and clues and stuff

coarse dagger
#

Anyways, back to talking about the hunt and not how not to hunt

potent fractal
sharp flame
#

we're all curious what the password is

potent fractal
#

yeah bc your "in the game"

#

i just want to see the result

#

what it will lead to

coarse dagger
#

This channel is for discussing the easter egg hunt. If you're not here to discuss the hunt, only to discuss methods we're not supposed to be using you might want step away

sharp flame
#

don't worry, we'll solve it eventually

#

and then everyone gets to see the ending as intended

potent fractal
#

love to see this

#

what if we only get a new playtest by solving the hunt

#

šŸ§ 

hidden nacelle
#

maybe, maybe not

#

anyone have the link to the password page

sharp flame
hidden nacelle
#

thanks

#

i dont even know where to look šŸ˜©

#

i have been just putting random words into the pw box/url

sharp flame
hidden nacelle
#

maybe cashbox/vault related

timid solstice
hidden nacelle
#

interestingly enough that the meaning for moolah is ''for money''

sharp flame
daring bluff
#

thatā€™s unfortunately going to be a bigger problem when the finals gets really popular and the EE hunt also gets lots more popular

thereā€™s just not going to be a good way of knowing who is breaking the rules or not

hidden nacelle
#

im guessing this password is for moolah since the last one was for namatama

sharp flame
timid solstice

but instead as maybe in-game stuff

#

maybe we'd have to type the password into a console IN the game

#

Should we be poking around with URLs ??

coarse dagger
#

No

hidden nacelle
#

nah

coarse dagger
#

Well let me clarify

hidden nacelle
#

stick with the pw

timid solstice
#

So why are we taking about URLs

coral wing
timid solstice
#

Just wondering if there was a URL hint

coarse dagger
timid solstice
#

I found a page

sharp flame
timid solstice
#

Thatā€™s not 404

coarse dagger
#

I mean if you think something you've found in the EE hunt is pointing you to a URL then sure

sharp flame
timid solstice
#

I think itā€™s hunt related

coral wing
#

Oh snap

timid solstice
#

But itā€™s empty

coarse dagger
#

How'd you find it?

sharp flame
#

šŸ˜­

#

Flex we've been over that one already

coral wing
#

Realnamatama ? ;-;

coarse dagger

#
