easter-eggs

[turbid tinsel]

and the egg using the golden ratio some how as well with the spiral in the golden ratio somehow.

[neon stream]

@turbid tinsel SR reacted to this a while ago

[hidden nacelle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_angle time clue 🤔

[sharp flame]

time?

[pure loom]

Just wondering if this relates?

[hidden nacelle]

wasnt time a clue?

i was wondering maybe that had something to do with time since its an angle and it has gold in its name

[pure loom]

yeah, Rob made time-related clues - ticks could also refer to a computer's clock rate I guess

[hidden nacelle]

we have already talked about the golden angle, damn

[coarse dagger]

I'd believe that could actually be the golden angle

It's really difficult to measure angles with such wide pixel counts and jagged edges

Hmm

Alright exactly 137.5 angle set. Let me see what the others could be

[hidden nacelle]

we already had 137.5

[coarse dagger]

Right, that's golden angle. I'm trying to set the angle I had which was approximately that to it in order to try to determine the other 2

About 75° for the smaller angle?

Which leaves 147.5° for the larger angle

But like I said, everything's a bit.... fuzzy

I wonder if I should be downsampling the image to try to thin that line out before making angle measurements? Don't know if that would be theoretically sound.

Just tried it. Don't think it's the best idea

Not sure what the source of the image is. Wondering if we can find more angles of it, better shots, etc

[hidden nacelle]

the one i sent?

[coarse dagger]

No, the egg watch

Hmm. Just thinking about the golden angle and the watch... one of the hands of the golden angle is the hour hand...
Makes me think of the Golden Hour

But it's such a... vague concept that I feel like it would be difficult to hide any clues there

[hidden nacelle]

https://thatsmaths.com/2015/03/26/golden-moments/

[daring bluff]

objection: it’s rob

[hidden nacelle]

ye i also was think about that, thought maybe it had something to do with dusk or dawn

that ready image rectangle kinda looks like a printed circuit board

[coarse dagger]

I did come across dawn quite a bit a few tiers ago

but it was along a path Rob never really confirmed (although I'm still really hoping it comes up at some point)

[coral wing]

Im hoping those wolves pop up at some point with our yellowstone tie in, i know so many dang facts and statistics now about the wolves there

[turbid tinsel]

I might be on a good lead on the ready gif, I could totally be wrong but doing this from my phone discord is not behaving how I want it to, to link messages ect

[jade citrus]

Unrelated to this tier, but I found another clue for T1F in the Character and Concept Art episode of MTM.

how did we miss this

[pure loom]

This message got a Rob - I think that means almost right, maybe?

[south wyvern]

well, this time he became specific but cow? like tag numbers?

[timid solstice]

Was that at the same time as cb2

[south wyvern]

identification system?

[coarse dagger]

Maybe that's his way of saying "Moolah! Right on the money! ... but it's not relevant to the current tier so I'm not 👀ing it"

[pure loom]

I dunno. Moolah is new, ya? 😂

[coarse dagger]

First diamond clues, now cow clues.
Where will it end?

[leaden stirrup]

I'm trying to find the meaning behind Rob's messages

He's telling us something

So i tried to add a "Levels" adjustment layer on what i think is the "big picture" (THE_FINALS_CB2_Couple.png / 7.75mo) and on the "right" of the image we can see 3 strange black bars.

I checked on the other official arts posted for this tier (except Namas) by applying the same adjustment layer and they don't have those bars.

I also a noticed a strange square brackets facing up

Must be something

[leaden stirrup]

The only thing Rob eyed is
ABC: Gold
DEF: Egg
ABCDEF: Gold + Egg

[warped wagon]

faberge eggs are golden
(more they can be)
(random guess)

[leaden stirrup]

Yeah but that doesn't answer the strange route 't1-f-1'

Maybe we missed a clue or didn’t connect the dots, that’s why the tier is t-1-f-1 maybe we need to find something we already found in a clue but should connect it in an other way to the EE

Idk i'm just guessing and talking so i can get a level and post images

[warped wagon]

fair enough

[sharp flame]

https://pt.kle.cz/en_US/gold.html

[leaden stirrup]

So i found that Rob also emoted to the morse code @pure loom posted, i looked further and what i found is that not all numbers are divisible by 3 and if you remove them you have actual space for the morse code.

From what i got it translate to: KMTKMTKMT

KMT three times

And does someone noticed in almost all the official arts there's "THE FINAL" and "REACH.THE.FINALS", i don't know if i'm tripping but the F and S of "FINALS" seems spaces compared to the other letters.

Maybe kerning but i read "F INAL S"

[sharp flame]

I think it just means we haven't gotten there yet, so yeah

like the 👀 would probably come after we actually translate it into what it means

[turbid tinsel]

the ready gif, on https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t2abc-8cpusy9qx4ectl24/wish/2716758485 you can see the outline of a box around the flashing cursor, but on https://www.reachthefinals.com/t1-f its not visible

or rectangle i guess you could call it

[sharp flame]

313 - 82 - 444 - 84 - 576 . 110 . 112 - 264 . 231 - 292 - 444 - 232 .
313 . 82 . 444 - 84 . 576 - 110 - 112 - 264 . 231 . 292 . 444 . 232 .
313 - 82 . 444 . 84 . 576 - 110 - 112 . 264 - 231 . 292 . 444 . 232

[turbid tinsel]

I cant copy and paste using greenshot software to better show it in this discord server

[sharp flame]

might be compression

[sharp flame]

this is a reformatting taking the . and - and slotting them between the numbers

[turbid tinsel]

So based on #easter-eggs message, is it possible that rob was hinting to a form of painting or photography like abstract painting?

or maybe a hint to painting on gold paper

theres gold type polaroid film and polaroid cameras have the same rainbow lines as the xz spectrum

[turbid tinsel]

you were looking for a wolf reference lol?on 18/3/2023 https://tech.hindustantimes.com/tech/news/nasa-astronomy-picture-of-the-day-18-march-2023-wolf-rayet-124-star-30x-bigger-than-sun-71679130751407.html

Also there was a big heist of paintings stolen on march 18th

[turbid tinsel]

wonder if its a relation to stealing gold from others trying to cash out in game

The “Croydon Aerodrome Gold Robbery”, also known as “The Imperial Airways Gold Heist”. imperial also used in the imperial coronation Fabergé egg

[jade citrus]

Yeah this was during cb2

I meant t1e not t1f

[turbid tinsel]

imperial airplane in gold heist has "au" in it which is a gold reference. Croydon Airport Gold Robbery (1935)

also not sure if its related #easter-eggs message, rob talks about sleep and the 13-8 reference in 2022 was world sleep day

[turbid tinsel]

THE Kuomintang (KMT) was once reputed to be among the world’s richest political parties. Its leaders fled mainland China in 1949 with shiploads of loot, including an estimated 138 tonnes of gold and the finest treasures of Beijing’s Forbidden City

[coarse dagger]

We need to be precise and accurate when discussing clues. It's t1-f-1 not t-1-f-1

[leaden stirrup]

Sorry about that, i'll change it now

[coarse dagger]

After a quick look in PS I don't see what you're talking about. Can you upload an image showing it off?

[leaden stirrup]

Can't post images directly...

[coral wing]

nooo, when we had yellowstone as a confirmed path i was on a mad hunt for "the wolves of yellowstone"

20 hours of wolf research 😄

[coral wing]

you can dm me it and i will post for ya if youd like!

"the three dark bars on the top right" - @leaden stirrup

[coarse dagger]

Pretty sure those are just from the cut/trim/bleed/registration marks, proofing bars

[hidden nacelle]

they are on all the art

[jade citrus]

i don't think focusing on minute details is going to do much for us this tier, rob says we need to look at the big picture

[leaden stirrup]

I applied the same adjustment layer on all the other official art with the "cut/trim/bleed/registration marks, proofing bars" and only this one has the 3 black bars

I thought it was because of the background colors but placement seems odd

But maybe i'm looking to far

[turbid tinsel]

if we are looking at the bigger picture, in what ways are gold implemented/used in the finals itself?

[hidden nacelle]

the vaults/cashboxes are gold 😆

[turbid tinsel]

gold being used to cash out.

people dying and turning into gold coins, gold/gold coins on the inside of players

yolk being the center/inside reference

im just spitballing

or maybe its how gold is made based on hues for rgb used in the gold color in the game

[turbid tinsel]

and maybe only "exactly one" hue of gold used in the entire game

I think our main problem is that we are using t1abc and gold reference rather than examining the ready gif more

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

BUT to make sure you don't lose your sanity... you are on the right path... just need to open your eyes, see the big picture, connect the dots..

[coarse dagger]

That's because of how the levels adjustment works.

[coarse dagger]

The loading gif he told us not to spend time looking at

Don't spend time analyzing that gif... I actually have not hidden anything in there
#easter-eggs message

The ready gif he said

There are just small things hidden here and there, but like I said you are...
#easter-eggs message

So there may be a thing or two in the ready gif to help, but it seems he wants us to take a more distant view

[turbid tinsel]

good point

[coarse dagger]

Although I do wonder if "connect the dots" is to be taken literally

Perhaps here?

[turbid tinsel]

do we have to use the angle of the clock watch hands to connect the dots on here?

[coarse dagger]

on here?
You're going to have to be more specific

[turbid tinsel]

idk, im lost and looking for a new starting point

[coarse dagger]

Hmm

[coarse dagger]

What if...

[sharp flame]

go on

[turbid tinsel]

are we able to use string code from the 29a photo forensics site?

[coarse dagger]

All that is is the byte data from the image converted to strings.
You can try... but I've never seen anything there

[coarse dagger]

So the fact that the numbers are in threes and morse is binary means you always have an odd man out from the threes:

The odd man out would be:
.-.-...----
and the pairs would be the opposite (plus an additional .):
-.-.---.....

[turbid tinsel]

ok so totally irrelevant but thought it was worth sharing, in the namatama egg picture of eggs i found this in the string. "exclusively for the best ee-hunters in the universe... from embark with love.!"

[hidden nacelle]

they all had strings like that

[hidden nacelle]

🤣

[coarse dagger]

Oh yeah, Rob drops fun strings for us like that in the metadata (So naturally they come out in the strings... as strings).
The consensus is they are just for fun, as I believe Rob has told us they wouldn't contain anything vital for the EE hunt

I suppose another option for the morse would be to go down the columns...:

KDGDWWGUDDDI

[jade citrus]

[coral wing]

Breakthroughs…. please…..

[sharp flame]

sadge

we just need to rethink

[turbid tinsel]

Do we have anything where 18/3 could be like page number or paragraph 3, or column 18, word/# 3?

[turbid tinsel]

who can i send a photo to, to upload here on something i found that may or may not be helpful?

[coral wing]

from @turbid tinsel

"i found that on the code, not sure if its relevant or not"

[coarse dagger]

How'd you find this?

[turbid tinsel]

in one of the photo analizers that was recommended in the egg hunt info

i can mess around again if you want me to, to replicate it?

i was just messing around with all the settings on one

someone mentioned unicode for dice blocks when i was searching for clues on words already mentioned in EE

[coarse dagger]

Did you run it on the original or the one which already had the letters visible?

[turbid tinsel]

original

[coarse dagger]

Hmm

It almost looks like puzzle pieces to a different number?

[coral wing]

ahhh kinda like the stuff fish had done with geoffrey

"put in the correct order" and it might make something?

[coarse dagger]

This is what I'm picturing

[coral wing]

yes yes same sense

[turbid tinsel]

idk it changes depending on what the jpeg quality is set to when doing an error level analysis and using different jpeg quality

theres one where it looks like morse lines above the numbers as well

the lines above the numbers only show on jpeg quality 88 and 89

this is on 29a

89 shows more though but idk if that is a relevant number with clues we already have or not

[coarse dagger]

What photo analyzer were you using?

[turbid tinsel]

https://29a.ch/photo-forensics/#forensic-magnifier

[coarse dagger]

I can get those squares to jump around quite a bit with the error analysis, so I think it's just an artifact which results from an expected compression amount when modifying the JPEG quality setting

[turbid tinsel]

yea wasnt thinking it was anything significant but figured it was worth a share

[coarse dagger]

I think I may have mentioned this before, but I wonder if we need to consider the primary clues for each tier, not just the final password

[coarse dagger]

Trying to figure out which dots we need to connect........

[coarse dagger]

Looking through past mentions of gold egg:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiranyagarbha

In classical Purāṇic Hinduism, Hiraṇyagarbha is the term used in the Vedanta for the "creator". Hiraṇyagarbha is also Brahmā, so called because it is said he was born in a golden egg (Manu Smṛti 1.9), while the Mahābhārata calls it the Manifest.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eros

At the beginning there was only Chaos, Night, dark Erebus, and deep Tartarus. Earth, the air and heaven had no existence. Firstly, blackwinged Night laid a germless egg in the bosom of the infinite deeps of Erebus, and from this, after the revolution of long ages, sprang the graceful Eros with his glittering golden wings, swift as the whirlwinds of the tempest. He mated in deep Tartarus with dark Chaos, winged like himself, and thus hatched forth our race, which was the first to see the light.

Those were the only 2 that I see which were referenced earlier, but not discussed during T2

[coarse dagger]

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

In the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic, there is a myth of the world being created from the fragments of an egg laid by a goldeneye on the knee of Ilmatar, goddess of the air:
"One egg's lower half transformed
And became the earth below,
And its upper half transmuted
And became the sky above;
From the yolk the sun was made,
Light of day to shine upon us;
From the white the moon was formed,
Light of night to gleam above us;
All the colored brighter bits
Rose to be the stars of heaven
And the darker crumbs changed into
Clouds and cloudlets in the sky."

Lots of keywords in that epic

To quote @sick stone from back in January.........

"DAY 0" is an odd phrasing, isn't it? Since they also said we were getting closer when RHB mentioned the World Egg which is also according to wikipedia sometimes another word for the gravitational singularity that was before the big bang /("DAY 1") or 00:00:01 meaning gravitational singularity is "DAY 0" or -00:00:01.

In Orphic mythology, Ananke is a self-formed being who emerged at the dawn of creation with an incorporeal, serpentine form, her outstretched arms encompassing the cosmos. Ananke and Chronos are mates, mingling together in serpent form as a tie around the universe. Together they have crushed the primal egg of creation (i.e. World Egg) of which constituent parts became earth, heaven and sea to form the ordered universe. Ananke is the mother (or another identity) of Adrasteia, the distributor of rewards and punishments.

........

That could be why Rob keeps saying 'time'

Time = Chronos

[jade citrus]

maybe gold = sun

[coarse dagger]

Golden Sun? I love that video game

I did a lot of Alchemy research a few tiers back. Based on what I found I wouldn't be surprised if it came up again.

alchemy/occult

[jade citrus]

I looked into magnum opus/Philosopher's Stone for this tier a little bit bc of the whole lead into gold thing

[coarse dagger]

“In alchemy the egg stands for the chaos apprehended by the artifex, the prima materia containing the captive world-soul. Out of the egg — symbolized by the round cooking vessel — will rise the eagle or phoenix, the liberated soul, which is ultimately identical with the Anthropos who was imprisoned in the embrace of Physis.”
Carl Jung PSYCHOLOGY AND ALCHEMY, PAGE 202

Though of prime importance in alchemy the Egg symbol was by no means confined to that art. Of great antiquity, it probably appeared for the first time in the many creation myths of the countries in which the first great civilizations emerged¹; it occurs, for example, in several forms as a World Egg in the mythologies of Egypt, where alchemy itself was later to crystallize out of an amalgam of early technology, philosophy and Gnostic beliefs.
The similarities between many of the creation myths so intrigued mythologists that they made frequent attempts to trace their origins to a single country, though it cannot be said that these efforts were very successful. Comparative mythology is an amorphous subject, based upon racial and lingual classifications which hang together by slender threads, and Lobeck was probably near the truth when he said of a common origin for the World Egg, "quaerere ludicrum est". The racial migrations which occurred in proto-historic times are in most cases conjectural, though Guha has shown convincingly that the population of parts of India by the early Proto-Australoid race from the Mediterranean was responsible for the occurrence today of features which are not common to other areas of the sub-continent-features such as totemistic beliefs and creation myths involving the World Egg³. Thus, elements of uncertain but great antiquity (pre-4000 B.C.) eventually became distorted or transformed into the mythical forms met with today in the Sanskrit Puranas and in popular Hindu folklore. From India the Proto-Australoid race moved further east to Melanesia and Polynesia, where we find also the myths of creation from an Egg.

Egg Symbolism In Alchemy by H. J. Sheppard p. 140

"quaerere ludicrum est" ->
THE SEARCH IS FUN

That seems like a Rob quote if anything is

[proud minnow]

haha, I wish I had said that.!

GM Rob !

[coarse dagger]

Haha! I meant more like "a quote Rob would select"

[neon stream]

@coarse dagger these things you mentioned reminded me of this theory I had last year 😂

[pure loom]

Interesting that a few of these can be variations of anagrams that include TAMA - one is TAMAII = TAMAii or TAMA 2.

[pure loom]

This could also be used as a way to convey a number in Base 3.

So whichever number section the odd one out appears gives us a 0, 1 or 2.

I say the odd one out is more likely to be the key rather than the pair

This would be the base 3 conversion:

Doesn’t seem to be a number that links to anything interesting. And July 23 in any year ending with 87 doesn’t seem interesting either.

[turbid tinsel]

maybe we need to look for the gold code, or gold codes?

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

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

golden launch code

[turbid tinsel]

also, find it odd that the emoji icon listed here resembles the way the cursor kinda of looks in the ready gif for coin.

https://emojipedia.org/coin#emoji

as well as here https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2018/18310-coin-emoji.pdf the 18-3 reference maybe?

also might be unicode related to emojis for the time on the watch, i noticed on the emojipedia page there are emoji's for time as well

[coarse dagger]

Oooo

[coarse dagger]

If only we could get Rob to react! 😅

[proud minnow]

You can, you just need to write something correct...
(I'm just a simple gamemaker, so small things like for example 1779, 34.76, 5.95 would make me react...)

[sharp flame]

💀 oh wow

we can use this to eliminate all the big threads so far

the Gold Egg stuff probably hasn't been right so far

[coarse dagger]

Thanks for the nudges. Playing Stardew Valley right now but excited to look into these!

[winged marlin]

aH 1779 , a beautiful year for the European Industrail Revolution. "The Iron Bridge is erected across the River Severn in Shropshire, the world's first bridge built entirely of cast iron. It will open to traffic on January 1, 1781.

[turbid tinsel]

if were talking bridges, im just throwing out the golden gate bridge reference

[winged marlin]

And Shorpshire is known for egg production nowadays so 1779 is clearly pointing us back to eggs

I made that thing about egg production up

I'm just trying to participate becase so much of this is over my head!

[coarse dagger]

Supposed to be playing Stardew with @winged marlin but I guess she was even more eager than I was! 🤣

[winged marlin]

I really enjoy reading everyones work in here and appreciate all the Rob and other Dev involvement

just poking a little fun in jest

[coarse dagger]

Imagine she gets 👀 s

October 1 – The city of Tampere, Finland (belonging to Sweden at this time) is founded by King Gustav III of Sweden.

[turbid tinsel]

idk if its related but robs 18/3 reference everyone assumed march 18th, but what if he just gave use the year and the date? Feb 3 Twin Peaks Tunnel for streetcars begins service in San Francisco, at 11,920 feet one of world's longest, sanfran is where the GOLDEN gate bridge is, which looks orange. 34.76 in a normal google search brings up https://www.teamcodeorange.com/ on the 2nd link which is in Orange county, in california where the golden gate bridge is that looks orange. Feels odd golden gate bridge isnt somehow linked here but may just be a coincidence

something tells me the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram can help with this in someway #easter-eggs message

[turbid tinsel]

any chance we need to find the position of the sun using a sky map and we need to use the time on the clock as a reference? using the sun since it can appear gold at times

I know on hard the sun is luminosity 1 on hrd scale, is it possible we have to adjust an image based on the luminosity of maybe one of the 7 sisters or a star using luminosity blend in photo shop?

The sun is exactly 1 and rob made the comments "exactly" and "one" earlier

And on star maps, clusters are all connected on a curve so maybe we have to use the curve editor in Photoshop to match the curve on one of messiers maps?

And merope is one of the dimmest of those turned into stars

Telescopes are often a good connecting point:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_space_telescope

The Kepler Mission, a space observatory launched in March 2009 to locate Earth-like planets, monitors a section of space containing more than 200,000 stars and takes high-resolution images every 30 minutes. After the operations center gathers this data, it is pipelined to Pleiades in order to calculate the size, orbit, and location of the planets surrounding these stars.

As of February 2012, the Kepler mission has discovered 1,235 planets, 5 of which are approximately Earth-sized and orbit within the "habitable zone" where water can exist in all three forms (solid, liquid, gas).
I feel like we've had earth-like planets come up as significant quite a bit in our search

After setbacks following the failure of two of Kepler's four reaction wheels, responsible for keeping the spacecraft pointed in the correct direction, in 2013, the Kepler team moved the entire data pipeline to Pleiades, which continues to run light curve analyses from the existing Kepler data.

Astrophysics research into the formation of galaxies is run on Pleiades to create simulations of how our own Milky Way Galaxy was formed and what forces might have caused it to form in its signature disk-shape.
And that caused me to look for comparisons of the milky way to an egg:

https://hubblesite.org/contents/news-releases/2021/news-2021-061#:~:text=Our Milky Way has long,and its associated spiral arms.

Our Milky Way has long been known to be a spiral galaxy, shaped much like a fried egg with a bulbous central bulge and a thin, flat disk of stars. For decades, astronomers have struggled to map the Milky Way’s disk and its associated spiral arms.

At a distance of about 444 light years, it is among the nearest star clusters to Earth.
Have we moved on from 333 to 444?

Together with the open star cluster of the Hyades, the Pleiades form the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic.

[turbid tinsel]

maybe the stars we need are one from 1a one from 1b

[coarse dagger]

Pleiades wiki page also talks about Reflection nebulae which could explain why mirroring was so important.

Reflection nebulae around the brightest stars were once thought to be left over material from their formation, but are now considered likely to be an unrelated dust cloud in the interstellar medium through which the stars are currently passing.

It also mentions:

MUL.APIN (𒀯𒀳) is the conventional title given to a Babylonian compendium that deals with many diverse aspects of Babylonian astronomy and astrology. It is in the tradition of earlier star catalogues, the so-called Three Stars Each lists....

The Babylonian star catalogues name the Pleiades MULMUL (𒀯𒀯), meaning "stars" (literally "star star"), and they head the list of stars along the ecliptic, reflecting the fact that they were close to the point of vernal equinox around the 23rd century BC.

Galileo Galilei was the first astronomer to view the Pleiades through a telescope.

He thereby discovered that the cluster contains many stars too dim to be seen with the naked eye. He published his observations, including a sketch of the Pleiades showing 36 stars, in his treatise Sidereus Nuncius in March 1610.

[coarse dagger]

Edme-Sébastien Jeaurat then drew in 1782 a map of 64 stars of the Pleiades from his observations in 1779, which he published in 1786.

👆 Think I've found how another of our numbers connects to Pleiades

The distance to the Pleiades can be used as a key first step to calibrate the cosmic distance ladder. As the cluster is relatively close to the Earth, its distance should be relatively easy to measure and has been estimated by many methods. Accurate knowledge of the distance allows astronomers to plot a Hertzsprung–Russell diagram for the cluster, which, when compared to those plotted for clusters whose distance is not known, allows their distances to be estimated.

https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20000064064/downloads/20000064064.pdf
This coullllddddd be a source for the 34.76

It came up when I searched Pleiades 34.76, but the number isn't in reference to Pleiades itself

It's about Cluster IC348

From Stars to Super-planets: the Low-Mass IMF in the Young
We obtained HST NIC3 narrow band photometry for 50 (51" x 51") fields in the
IC348a subcluster, nominally centered at a = 3h44m3F.9, 6 = 32°09'54'._2 (J2000). The
NICMOS instrument and its on-orbit performance have been described by Thompson et al.
(1998) and Calzetti & Noll (1998). Figure 1 shows the relative positions of the fields with
respect to the 5' x 5' core of the subcluster. The NIC3 field positions were chosen to avoid
bright stars much above the saturation limit (I( _ 9) and to maximize area coverage. As a
result, the fields are largely non-overlapping, covering most of the 5' x 5' core and a total
area of 34.76 sq. arcmin.

The connection to Pleiades:

The mass function derived for the cluster
in this interval, dN/dlog M o_ M °'s, is similar to that obtained for the Pleiades,
but appears significantly more abundant in brown dwarfs than the mass function
for companions to nearby sun-like stars.

[turbid tinsel]

if we rotate this at all does it look like the gap behind the ready cursor?

or the whole image behind the ready and cursor?

[coarse dagger]

Here's what was isolated, but Rob never reacted to that so we may be off course with it

[turbid tinsel]

true

[coarse dagger]

Ohey here's a connection to Lithium in Pleiades:

Another way of estimating the age of the cluster is by looking at the lowest-mass objects. In normal main-sequence stars, lithium is rapidly destroyed in nuclear fusion reactions. Brown dwarfs can retain their lithium, however. Due to lithium's very low ignition temperature of 2.5 × 106 K, the highest-mass brown dwarfs will burn it eventually, and so determining the highest mass of brown dwarfs still containing lithium in the cluster can give an idea of its age. Applying this technique to the Pleiades gives an age of about 115 million years.

[coarse dagger]

And in this quote in Pleiades. "Interstellar medium" relates back to Buckminster Fuller:

In April 2019, scientists, working with the Hubble Space Telescope, reported the confirmed detection of the large and complex ionized molecules of buckminsterfullerene (C60) (also known as "buckyballs") in the interstellar medium spaces between the stars.

[turbid tinsel]

man if only that was a c64 in parentheses

[coarse dagger]

You inspired me to see if there's a C64 fullerene.

There does not appear to be

[turbid tinsel]

lol

[coarse dagger]

Hmm

Think it's unlikely, but f-1 in t1-f-1 could be f/1. An f-number describing the focal length of a lens.
I think its unlikely because usually they're decimialized: f/1.0

Could also be referring to a negative focal length... which is possible, but I don't think f numbers are ever used to denote them

Goldstone -> Spitzer Space Telescope -> Pleiades -> HD 23514

Hmm
Volpe -> fox
Vulpecula -> little fox
Vulpecula -> Vega

It was identified in the seventeenth century, and is located in the middle of the Summer Triangle (an asterism consisting of the bright stars Deneb, Vega, and Altair).

There are no stars brighter than 4th magnitude in this constellation. The brightest star in Vulpecula is Alpha Vulpeculae, a magnitude 4.44m
Another 444........

Perhaps I got a bit too distracted by the Amiga reference and didn't think of another clear connection to CygnusEd:

Most of what I've found just seems to be confirming Pleiades, except maybe IC 348 and Vulpecula but we'll see if anything comes of those.

I really like the Wiki delving. And I tend to just post my spitballing because I'd rather it be out there for people to build off of or Rob to acknowledge

Oh, just realized the 64 stars of the Pleiades could be the 64 in C64

Just to be clear there are actually over 1000 stars in Pleiades, but that map identified 64

"open your eyes" rob saying "see the bigger picture". opening the eye/lens of a camera lets you take a bigger shot, clues in space->space camera-->james webb--->gold plating on it

[turbid tinsel]

also to see through a camera could be related to goldeneye again. But i cant help feeling that there is a bigger picture since we keep getting linked back to previous tier clues in some sense

also not space related but the battle of stony point was on 1779

everything's connected 😂

[turbid tinsel]

Is chat gpt off limits for EE?

[neon stream]

I think we might have to look into previous tiers to find this answer

[neon stream]

Yes

(Thanks for asking btw)

[turbid tinsel]

no problem, tyring to not cheat and be legit

[remote terrace]

It might be an idea to compile a list of all the things Rob has :eyed: for this tier together, since he mentioned having everything you need and connect the dots

idk, just thinking along

[turbid tinsel]

that or since its related to abc might have to do everything eyed in those in separate lists for abc and def, to see what the "bigger picture" is.

[neon stream]

I think the bigger picture is the previous tiers, and those underlying themes that were there

We might even want to look at the things Rob said AFTER we solved the tiers... maybe he mentioned some of the things we missed, so we would be able to use them now 🤔

[turbid tinsel]

rob said 18/3, march-->3 and 18?

also know as bode fish found earlier

[leaden stirrup]

On the night of 5 April 1779, Charles Messier recorded Pallas on a star chart he used to track the path of a comet, now known as C/1779 A1 (Bode)

With an orbital inclination of 34.8°, Pallas's orbit is unusually highly inclined to the plane of the asteroid belt

"34.8" close one...

[turbid tinsel]

t is 79% the mass of Vesta, 79 and it also uses other AU orbital measurements. au 79 is gold

it's 100% connected lol

We had Poseidon, Aethusa's dad, so if Aethusa's mom is one of the 7 Pleiads then that's gotta be connected

Chrysotype (also known as a chripotype or gold print) is a photographic process invented by John Herschel in 1842. Named from the Greek for "gold", it uses colloidal gold to record images on paper. maybe a reference rob was giving us here #easter-eggs message

it means this tier is way harder than I expected

but what throws me off is in rocks video in egg hunt he mentions something that rob said its pretty obvious or something i thought

[jade citrus]

The Eta Cassiopeiae system appears in Frontier: Elite II (1993) and Frontier: First Encounters (1995), computer games written by David Braben et al. The Eta Cassiopeiae system includes three trojan planets on one orbit. The Federation has its main naval base and fleet academies in this system.

[sharp flame]

or it's too easy

and we just need to try more possibilities with what we have

it's supposed to be pretty easy to piece together

[jade citrus]

so somehow Eta Cassiopeiae points to gold, or something related to gold

also a gold coin related to george III

When William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781, he at first named it Georgium Sidus (George's Star) after the King, who later funded the construction and maintenance of Herschel's 1785 40-foot telescope, which at the time was the biggest ever built.

New to this so not sure how on the nose Robs comments are, but going back to one of the Pleiades becoming mortal...It was Merope, who married Sisyphus who cheated death twice...which makes me think of the two respawns we get in game.

#easter-eggs message

Look like there's a Greek mythology theme

Maybe we need to look into the myth of Midas and Medusa

[leaden stirrup]

Genesis 18:3 -> "He said, 'If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by.'"

[coarse dagger]

why 18:3?

[remote terrace]

Something Rob mentioned

[coarse dagger]

Ah

Sorry, I got confused due to the 18/3=6 post and had 18/6 in my head 😅

[turbid tinsel]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysus

[turbid tinsel]

guys i might be on to something. 18/3 post. rob doesn't to my knowledge make grammatical errors. "OKi, I get your point, I really do… 18/3" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oki_Electric_Industry.

OKI is a reference

printers they made

1874
Kibataro Oki enters Telegraph Bureau's School of Technology

74 being gold reference

they also made atms which may be a reference on what they use for the boxes we put the gold in, in the game

[fallen jasper]

@sharp flame Hmm

[turbid tinsel]

also made semi conductors

[sharp flame]

what

[turbid tinsel]

telecomunications

[fallen jasper]

Look at Itk here

🦙

[sharp flame]

18/3 is purposeful

so I think the / would stay

I didn't consider OKi though, seems very viable

[fallen jasper]

hmm

[turbid tinsel]

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

oki is a chapman code for: Orkney

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

[sharp flame]

nvm Rob says it normally

I take back what I said about OKi being viable

[fallen jasper]

Yeah you shouldn't look too deeply into any one thing in particular he says. He's got a few... robisms?

.! is one of them you see a lot

This is probably another one

[sharp flame]

double width code is 1f

and the casiopiea is a binary star made up of 2

[sharp flame]

Grammatical errors no, but Okie is a regular thing people say, and I've heard OKi before

actually posted above when Rob said it a lot earlier also

[turbid tinsel]

but you dont think the dot printers they made have any reference to connecting the dots?

[sharp flame]

confirmation bias

but also I do think the dots yeah are worth chasing up on

Casiopeia is a constellation

constellations are connecting the dots in a very literal way

[sharp flame]

I might not have rabbit holed this fully yet tho.. do are the dots "connected" in any way?

here is Rob's quote

"open your eyes, see the big picture, connect the dots.."

seeing the big picture + connecting the dots

seems like a constellation pointer

[fallen jasper]

Beta Cassiopeiae also goes by Caph which is Arabic for hand. Connect the dots?

[turbid tinsel]

18/3 is the reference, but tried looking at it as 18by3 (18x3) and its related to 0-rings but might be a stretch

[sharp flame]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_18/3_Chiron

[turbid tinsel]

or maybe if it used the reflect and 18/3=6. maybe we should be looking for a 6x3=18. so maybe a 6x3

[turbid tinsel]

18/3, fast car so is there anything related to 5.95?

for the speed reference?

[sharp flame]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiron_(hypothetical_moon)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2060_Chiron

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

[sharp flame]

no way

OK 🧠

[turbid tinsel]

looks like a key

OKi-Oh key

[sharp flame]

crazy coincidence

[turbid tinsel]

the o ring for saturn

[sharp flame]

18/3 Chiron
Chiron Moon = Pheobe Moon

Pheobe Moon 18/3

no way

wait that's actually a crazy coincidence

[turbid tinsel]

want another reference

i got one, one sec

i cant find it but wasnt there a reference to Mendelevium and saturn some how for the answer on tier c?

i might be wrong

[sharp flame]

5f137s2

[turbid tinsel]

i swore in my dive i yesterday something on my dive took me to saturn with a rock or crater or moon

but i thought it was irrelivant

might be a stretch but

if that was reflected wouldn't look similar to a crown?

saturns symbol

[jade citrus]

T1D

[turbid tinsel]

saturn also has a b and c rings

18/3=6 6th planet from the sun

saturn is a yellowish brown color, or in other terms gold

made up of 94% hydrogen

au94 being gold

Saturn (Latin: Sāturnus [saːˈtʊrnʊs]) was a god in ancient Roman religion, and a character in Roman mythology. He was described as a god of time, generation, dissolution, abundance, wealth, agriculture, periodic renewal and liberation. Saturn's mythological reign was depicted as a Golden Age of abundance and peace

wealth-gold and also described as a god of time

the answer has to be related to golds density

Saturn has the lowest mean density—about 70 percent that of water—of any known object in the solar system. Hypothetically, Saturn would float in an ocean large enough to hold it.

19.32 g/cm3 is golds density

or the electronic sturcture of gold

https://your-online.ru/en/electronic-formulas/Au

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini–Huygens

Cassi kinda close to the name cassiopeia

which was used on saturn

[fallen jasper]

Back to ESA

[turbid tinsel]

do the numbers in the bottom of the eggs' photo refer to the ESA somehow?

[turbid tinsel]

or maybe somehow related to the book The Reign of Saturn Transformed into an Age of Gold

[turbid tinsel]

The modern names for Saturnian moons were suggested by John Herschel in 1847.[14] He proposed to name them after mythological figures associated with the Roman god of agriculture and harvest, Saturn (equated to the Greek Cronus).[14] In particular, the then known seven satellites were named after Titans, Titanesses and Giants—brothers and sisters of Cronus.

wasnt there a 7 sisters reference earlier

[turbid tinsel]

Hermann Goldschmidt also received the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society like Herschel's sister

also a Goldschmidt classificationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldschmidt_classification

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Goldschmidt there is a diagram that appears to have the same looking time for the watch reference no?

close#easter-eggs message

or better yet #easter-eggs message

also there are saturn games for the c64

and a company called saturn that sells c64

when googling c64 saturn

hi is the tfee doc not updated anymore?

[turbid tinsel]

i think just the padlet itself

https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t2abc-8cpusy9qx4ectl24 updated yesterday

[slender lodge]

thanks ❤️

[turbid tinsel]

also maybe a connecting the dots reference

or better yet

same as the graph, or it could be an x marks the spot reference ?

[coarse dagger]

Did someone just delete a question asking why the 12 is on the left and not the top of the watch? Because of how you wear a watch and the positioning of the winding dial.

[coarse dagger]

Ehh not close enough

Had to mirror the graph to get anywhere close and it's still way too far off

[turbid tinsel]

what about the diagram above?

[coarse dagger]

The stars?

[turbid tinsel]

#easter-eggs message

[slender lodge]

wheres that watch from

[turbid tinsel]

nvm

i see what your saying

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, I can't line up the stars, the diagram, or the watch with eachother at all

[random snow]

good find

the connect the dots reference 👀

[turbid tinsel]

not sure what ones are needed to be connected and maybe there is a different reference connecting all of them

if the image is flipped it maybe resembles an observatory/telescope?

but that is a stretch

[coarse dagger]

I think it's from THE FINALS

[slender lodge]

ohh, is it related to ee?

[coarse dagger]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slender lodge]

im rlly out of touch ;-; last one i tried with was like tier 1f

[coarse dagger]

That was the last tier prior to now!

[slender lodge]

o.o okay!

just started t2abc right

[hidden nacelle]

its from one of the art images

[slender lodge]

Ahh okok

[turbid tinsel]

keep coming along horse references

[timid solstice]

no sorry I stopped in March

[sharp flame]

I support that decision

🙏

[timid solstice]

wiki will replace it so all is good

[slender lodge]

Its a great 400 page journey thanks for keeping it updated :3

[coarse dagger]

Really? Am I blind?

Just looked through #official-art twice... the only watch I see is in [SHHH](#official-art message) and all you can see is the strap

[hidden nacelle]

hmm i thought it was, not sure where its from then 🤔

😆

[turbid tinsel]

yea not sure how its related at all to this tier now lol

[sharp flame]

the wiki has the ability to easily split it up into sections as well

as well as congrue it with in-game EEs when they happen

can't wait

[turbid tinsel]

@sharp flame you know how the watch is related at all in anyway? we not finding any official art with it. was it supposed to be an in game clue or something?

[sharp flame]

only cause rob said "time is ticking"

[sharp flame]

the watch is just a pre-release cosmetic in the shape of an egg

so it was just possibly related

not worth following up on at this point, since I feel like the answer is probably a bit easier than that thread

[jade citrus]

The watch was mentioned in this channel on March 18th (18/3), that's why we thought it was relevant.

#easter-eggs message

[turbid tinsel]

are we sure that abc is going to correlate to gold somehow for the def password of egg in some way?

becuase im feeling its going to correlate abc for something being square related in some way for us putting in the gold cube into the center (def) of the gold atm in game

if that makes sense

[turbid tinsel]

because mendelevium has a crystal structure

could be something cubed(to the 3rd power) but not sure how that would be entered as a password

It was a great follow up then I spotted William Herschel's nebula discovery

[turbid tinsel]

i took me about 4 days to get where i think i needed to be and im still getting lost here and there

[turbid tinsel]

i spotted that also and wasnt sure if there was any relation

whats 18.3 for

[south wyvern]

It remind me so much of mine Eagle Nebula but was upset no Rob's eyes - #easter-eggs message

[south wyvern]

Sometimes Rob doesn't want to be TOO specific so he replaced . with /

[turbid tinsel]

trueeee

[south wyvern]

or otherwise he giving away the answer for free

[turbid tinsel]

is 75 related to gold in anyway

ive gone down to many holes to remember anymore

there has to be another number in here related to gold, we have 2 of 3 right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eta_Cassiopeiae

34.76° has to have a relation to gold

or those numbers in some way

like 19.42 light-years (5.95 parsecs) 94 being related to gold

or something like that

[south wyvern]

am not sure about '75' but noted. i have to ask, how did you end up with 34.76? i think im going partially blind here.. 😅

[turbid tinsel]

one of the 3 numbers given by rob that lead us here

trying to see if there is gold relation to all of them

[turbid tinsel]

#easter-eggs message

[south wyvern]

Aye aye thanks!

[turbid tinsel]

idk if 94 is related to gold

ive been staring at pages to long

94 is in the melting point in Fahrenheit but not sure if thats relevant

3476 are numbers in a troy ounce of gold (1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams)

maybe that was a play on rob saying "exactly"and "one".

2nd time ive come across 1 troy

ima take a break and wait and see if anything gets eyes lol

[coarse dagger]

This + Rob's mentions of time made us fixate on it

[coarse dagger]

That's the only way to make progress

[coarse dagger]

Look in #egg-hunt-onboarding if you're interested

[coarse dagger]

18/3

[coarse dagger]

I looked at this earlier but it was before rob gave us the numbers... I was just working with "exactly one"

[proud minnow]

If you really like numbers, here is another interesting number if you ask me:
6000666

[leaden stirrup]

Does someone ever noticed the translucent white rectangles behind TIER 1C and TIER 1D on https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2 ?

[timid solstice]

Yup and they are different sizes

[nimble iron]

Brooooooo

We need to get on this shit

Fast

[leaden stirrup]

There's 7 numbers

[tulip matrix]

I get a bus stop in Washington D.C. from searching that number

Also a part number for flux welding wire

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saucer_Attack!?wprov=sfla1

[turbid tinsel]

Pretty sure I saw the number rob referenced yesterday, I'll check when I get to my computer

[coral wing]

From @leaden stirrup

Found this while playing with levels in the NamaTama concept image and found this. On the Wikipedia page of Protoporphyrin IX (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protoporphyrin_IX), which is the compound that give egg their color, there's a quote saying :

When UV light is shone on the compound, it fluoresces with a bright red color.

[turbid tinsel]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate-Demate_Device?wprov=srpw1_0

MD reference which i swear points back to mendelevium

or 28°36′02″N being another reference to 28.600666

98% sure i found the number reference

on the list of minor planets

74 gold reference

[leaden stirrup]

I think the number was 6000666

[turbid tinsel]

oh

well there is my 2 percent

dang that would of been on the right track using a telescope

well the number itself is bringing up on google pincodes

maybe its a code

which funny enough leads to https://dwr.state.co.us/Tools/Structures/6000666

[sharp flame]

74?

[turbid tinsel]

i dont think i was right

but i did find https://www.deezer.com/us/album/6000666

[coarse dagger]

What did you do to this image to isolate that Nama?

[coarse dagger]

Maybe should look into facts about the 7 sisters and see if we can pair these numbers to them in any way

[leaden stirrup]

Didn't one of them become a mortal, does that still count..?
#easter-eggs message

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

In Japan, the cluster is mentioned under the name Mutsuraboshi ("six stars") in the 8th-century Kojiki. The cluster is now known in Japan as Subaru.

“SUBARU” signifies “unity" in Japanese

[coarse dagger]

Yeah, was reading about that the other day

The car company named itself that when a sixth joined their organization

[turbid tinsel]

i was also able to do this

heres another view

[leaden stirrup]

I used a "Levels" adjustment layer

[timid solstice]

I've updated this pin to include eyed and cryptic messages
#easter-eggs message

still editing to add a few more

[coarse dagger]

I see, was hoping it was an isolation of the violet end of the spectrum, but doesn't look like it

Actually wait

Need to research the levels adjustment layer a bit

Left is blacks and right is whites... right?

If you do a levels adjustment layer

And squash the reds and greens al the way to the right

And leave blue untouched

You get this

[turbid tinsel]

roman numeral for 6000 is MMMMMM and 666 leads to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/666_Desdemona

[coarse dagger]

I'm looking at it because of the 7 sisters, but I think we're just looking at anything we can think of ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[coarse dagger]

Can't think of any way to get red by filtering out blues or vice versa

[leaden stirrup]

Why there's a double space between future and maps ?

r: 5 Clues hinting on future maps

[turbid tinsel]

also found https://www.shazam.com/track/6000666/catch-the-rainbow rainbox reference to the commodore maybe

which would lead to the rainbow island game

might be a stretch though

[coarse dagger]

The highest number that can be expressed in Roman numerals is actually 3,999. This is written as MMMCMXCIX. This is because the number 4,000 would have to be written as MMMM, which goes against the principle of not having four consecutive letters of the same type together.

[turbid tinsel]

also found this relating to rainbow if its even a trail https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20211020-the-rainbow-island-most-travellers-dont-know

Hormuz Island is kind of tear shaped in a way

maybe a referenc to the golden tear on namatama?

or if you interpret it as 6thousand 6hundred 66

[leaden stirrup]

I think it's yolk

[turbid tinsel]

or just repeating 6's

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

also are the clues being given specifically for tabc just to make sure we arent getting mixed up on gold egg reference for both abc and def?

[leaden stirrup]

I think last thing posted is on https://www.reachthefinals.com/t1-f

But i could be for both T2_ABC and T2_DEF

[turbid tinsel]

also for the ready gif, what are the odds of the apple 1 circut board being related to the cut out behind the cursor?

with that little cut out on the right side?

[coarse dagger]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Rob hasn't really acknowledged out outline AFAIK, so could be nothing

[timid solstice]

or we need to find the right connection for it

[coarse dagger]

true

[neon stream]

Did anyone try with the GIF any of that PS magic that revealed the Pisa Griffin? 🤔

[turbid tinsel]

is there any relating to the gif going from loading and then switching to ready at all?

other than c64?

[coarse dagger]

This is how it was done

Here's a difference of the ready frames

Let me take a look at the levels

I do see some repeating patterns when I adjust the levels... but I think that may just be how gradients work?

So here I fully squashed all the whites

And on the right of that is

but like I said. I think that's just how gradients work

[coarse dagger]

But the long vertical rectangle on the left and the short small horizontal rectangle aren't really visible until you squash the whites

And the curved bit is interesting here:

I was looking at the diffrence, but both that curve and the two rectangles are artifacts present only in the second frame (the frame with the cursor)

Same with the repeating pattern

[turbid tinsel]

that purple looks like the tiny image that rob posted awhile back or reacted with

i would go search for it but discord is bugging out for me

it where rock said he recognized it from comodore

[coarse dagger]

The cursor has dark blue... outlines? ... registration marks? ... something... around the highlights

Welp hunt over. No sign of Rob

[leaden stirrup]

Sometimes i can't see him when i search also, try to find one of his message in channel and search again.

[turbid tinsel]

#easter-eggs message

and also the galaga references below it

pulled a reference to this for galaxy quest

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

It won the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and the Nebula Award for Best Script.

[coarse dagger]

Discord's API shit the bed for me right after I posted this, we back now

[turbid tinsel]

same, was offline for a hot minute

[turbid tinsel]

you see what i replied to you with?

[coarse dagger]

Rob's ready gif? Yeah, that's the link I was gonna post

[pure loom]

Yeah, that was the difference blend mode. I think I’ve gone through all of those options.

[coarse dagger]

Colors are similar, but different:

Maybe if we adjust levels to match the commodore pallet we'll see something?

[pure loom]

While it looks a little like that, usually when we find a match for something like this it will be pretty obvious that it’s a match.

[turbid tinsel]

ok so for a b and c we got, boiling point, gold, and mendelevium, mendelevium on a google search picture shows the cube shape. how to all 3 of these in some way give us the answer to abc.

[coarse dagger]

Ain't that the question

We've struggled to connect the GIFs, the numbers SR's given us, and the clues from previous tiers

Just gotta connect the dots.... easy, right?

[turbid tinsel]

https://news.artnet.com/art-world/solid-gold-cube-central-park-2067281

[pure loom]

I think these are the strongest elements for possible clues (aside from the direct C64 and ZX Spectrum elements), but there’s been no solid connection of them to something else.

[turbid tinsel]

cold cube placed in central park last year

block or cube could be related to the block cursor being used

the gold block was in the park for only 1 day

[coarse dagger]

Too modern IMO

[neon stream]

I don't think Mendelevium is relevant outside of that tier tbh. I think we should mainly focus on gold

[turbid tinsel]

Orrr if we are referring to blocks/cubes i went down a hold that lead me here

gallileo reference

[pure loom]

A, B and C originally didn’t have a direct link to gold. 1064 was the asteroid, mendelevium was just an element and 79 was 79BC (the year Vesuvius erupted). But together they relate to gold. DEF were more directly related to eggs. It’s possible DEF have a secondary meaning we haven’t realised yet.

Rob did 👀 “GOLD EGG” so maybe we should consider that combo more.

This is the message he 👀’d: #easter-eggs message

[turbid tinsel]

maybe liquid numbers of gold relating to the yolk/golden center/ of an egg

[neon stream]

Just to clarify, Mendelevium gave us 137 (golden angle) as part of the answer, because of how the last part of the electron config was formated

[turbid tinsel]

so based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eta_Cassiopeiae there has to be something gold numbers related right?

[pure loom]

Yes, sorry, I omitted that.

“GOLD EGG” forms only one anagram: GOGGLED.

[neon stream]

Not necessarily

[turbid tinsel]

I thought the 3 numbers he gave us that lead us there were from numbers related to gold itself. would find it odd if there aren't more numbers in it some how combined lead to something else gold related

[neon stream]

Hmmm maybe I'm not understanding the question 🤔

The gold relation to Eta Cassiopeiae could be the discovery

But there might not be more gold connections

[pure loom]

Where did Eta Cassiopeiae come from?

(The path I mean)

[turbid tinsel]

the 3 numbers rob gave us #easter-eggs message

[pure loom]

Oh, I hadn’t seen that. Thanks.

[neon stream]

Oh, I think I understand what you mean now @turbid tinsel

[turbid tinsel]

all those numbers are within numbers of a reference within gold

[neon stream]

You mean that, the other two numbers he mentioned could be related to gold as well, right?

1779 is related to gold, not sure about the other two

Can't spell today

[pure loom]

It could also be the start of a new path

So not gold related

[turbid tinsel]

idk about the lastest number but 94 is in the center of Fahrenheit melting point, atomic number 79, and 3476 is numbers inside a troy ounce of gold (1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams).

all of those numbers are within gold's wiki page.

[neon stream]

Tbh, I think that we only need to figure out the format of the answer. The answer I'm quite sure will end up being "gold" written in some strange way 😂

[turbid tinsel]

im 98%confident the latest numbers given in some way related to numbers in gold

where its a cubed reference or electron reference

[neon stream]

This tier "doesn't have" a puzzle behind, because we already found the connection to gold before, so I think we only need to find the format

But if we would've gotten here without making that gold connection before, that would be our current state...:figuring out there IS a gold connection. But since we know there is, we probably just need to figure out the format

[pure loom]

Except we do have unsolved clues

[neon stream]

But... we do have unsolved clues for the other tiers too, and we still found the answer 😂

[pure loom]

C64, ZX Spectrum and the lines are shown for some reason.

[neon stream]

I'm not saying we shouldn't work on those, but I think we just need to find the right format for the answer, and the answer will be Gold related

[pure loom]

Yes, but we solved some clues to get there.

[neon stream]

Yeah, but we didn't know what the answer was about in those tiers, and I think we do on this one (gold)

[pure loom]

Rob used the word “bit” - maybe it’s “gold” in binary.

[neon stream]

Hmmm

[pure loom]

But what’s the time element? (No obscure pun intended 😂)

[turbid tinsel]

the density of gold is also related to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eta_Cassiopeiae

and we were not given gold density as a reference

[pure loom]

Can you show how? It’s good to always document detail like this because if others read your message later they won’t know what the connection was that you made. And, to be fair, I don’t now 😂

[pure loom]

Good find! 👍

[turbid tinsel]

im telling yall the answer is in the link without a doubt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eta_Cassiopeiae

or a lead to the answer

[sharp flame]

I mean it's also likely the other way round right

what if Eta Cassiopeiae points to gold

like all the other hints Rob's been posting

[turbid tinsel]

agreed

[sharp flame]

Cause we were supposed to find the answer from the start

and looking back on it, the only way we could've reached Eta_Cassiopeiae is if we made the connection of Density (19.32) ---> Light Years away (19.32)

[turbid tinsel]

and now the question is where does 6000666 come from

[sharp flame]

oh no clue

tried dividing it by 3 like the other clue, nothing much came of it

[turbid tinsel]

is it like how many days/years it would take to travel there?

[sharp flame]

travel where, Eta?

[turbid tinsel]

possibly in normal years or something

idk
