I guess step one would be turning off blue
turbid tinsel
i thought rock already found the yellow pixel earlier
coarse dagger
Oh?
turbid tinsel
yea a ways back, not sure if it was for the gif but almost positive he posted it
coarse dagger
You thinking of this?
coarse dagger
Ah
turbid tinsel
but not sure if that is yellow or if that is just empty
coarse dagger
Here I turned off the blue channel and used a levels adjustment layer to squash to the brightest pixels. I think that shows of the "yellowest" parts of the image.
There should be three colors in this image. Black (black), yellowish (gray), yellow (white). Colors in parens are denoting which is which in the levels adjustment layer (at minimum you need a black, a white, and a gray)
Although setting the midtone input level to 0.01 seems to effectively delete the gray
Hmm. I don't think I'm thinking about this correctly actually
If I turn off the blue channel, anything which was previously white is now yellow. So then after turning off the blue channel when looking for the yellowest pixels all I'm finding is what was previously the whitest pixels
because white is #FFFFFF and yellow is #FFFF00, so if I disregard blue (the last two hex values) then white and yellow look the same
So I'd ignore those last two images
I'm back to asking myself
How would one go about finding the yellowest pixels...?
timid solstice
I'm back to asking myself
> How would one go about finding the yellowest pixels...
search for pixels in the range of r127, g127, b0 perhaps ?
coarse dagger
search for pixels in the range of r127, g127, b0 perhaps ?
Don't think manual is the way to go... lets say the pixel was #FFFF01 (255, 255, 1) ; I might overlook it because I was only searching for pixels with blue==0
How do you quantify how yellow a pixel is in a digital photo? I could write a program which looks for the closest in the sense that FFFF01, FFFE00, FEFF00 are all the same amount "yellow", but I'm not sure if that would be accurate
coarse dagger
Going by that which is more yellow r255, g255, b0 or r254, g254, b1?
You've defined a potential method of identifing when something is yellow, but not on quantifying how yellow it is.
turbid tinsel
i think the yellowest may be related to Messier 52 (NGC 7654)
The cluster was discovered by Charles Messier in 1774. The brightest stars in it are two yellow giants of magnitude 7.77 and 8.22.

im clueless on photo stuff
might explain the weird cursor comment rob mentioned
coarse dagger
im clueless on photo stuff
TBH I'm going deep right now, but that's only because the only way I could think of to determine how yellow a pixel is, is to implement my own function to do so.
So here's some code I wrote.
The two outputs at the bottom are for each frame respectively
For the first frame each pixel is represented as a number
and that number is a unique identifier for looking up a color in the palette
But in the second frame the pixel is represented by four numbers
R,G,B, and A
no lookup required
turbid tinsel
is that because its 2 pictures stacked on each other?
coarse dagger
I don't think so
I think it's because the second frame has alpha
which isn't supported by palette lookup
Here I altered the program to output the pixel data for the first pixel in each frame, as an example:
I think the alpha values are all 255 though for the second frame, so there's not actually any transparency
🤔

A palette is a range of colors. It is also the board that artists use to hold and mix paint. According to vocabulary.com, palette has extended beyond actual colors to include figurative colors. For example, a musician can use a palette of tones and modes

but im leaning more towards binary being a binary star system and this text i just found here. "The standard binary output format generated by the linker for the C64 target is a machine language program with a one line BASIC stub. This means that a program can be loaded as BASIC program and started with RUN. It is of course possible to change this behaviour by using a modified startup file and linker config."

Ehhh, that's only true for color codes
you can write any number with hex
It's just a different based number system

and I would argue octal is just as common as hex
Octal is base 8
jade citrus
the clues we've had in the past have mainly been in binary, decimal, and hex
coarse dagger
Replied to the wrong comment there because I was originally going to make the octal comment
Sorry
coarse dagger
there are a total of 16 characters, but the form is written with 6
Meant to reply to this
the form is written with 6
True for RGB color codes
The reason for that is 8bit color uses 256 colors per channel
which is why you see RGB colors listed like (0,0,0) - (255,255,255)
and in base 16 you can represent numbers up to 255 with two digits. Because 16^2 is 256
So 255 (base 10) and FF (base 16) mean the same thing.
coarse dagger
Here's the palette from the first frame of the palette as RGB codes
Unfortunately the only color shared between this palette and the C64 palette is white (255,255,255)
I'll probably try looking at the colors in the second frame later

In 1902, her husband's cousin, Théodore Reinach began building a Grecian-style villa at Beaulieu-sur-Mer on what became known as the French Riviera. Visiting his Villa Kerylos, Baroness Ephrussi de Rothschild fell in love with the area and acquired a 17-acre (69,000 m2) parcel of land on Cap Ferrat where she built a luxurious Venetian style villa in the Goût Rothschild. She filled it with many of her collections and created her own private zoo with exotic birds and animals including flamingos, budgerigars, monkeys, mongooses, antelopes, and gazelles.[2]

The egg stands on a base of gold, blue and opalescent white guilloché enamel.
A serpent, set with diamonds coils around the stand connecting the base to the egg and up toward its center. The serpent's head and tongue point to the hour which is indicated in Roman numerals on a white band that runs around the egg near the top.

. On each side of the egg a sculpted gold handle arches up in a "C" shape, attached to the egg on the top near the apex and on the lower half of the egg, near the center.
etween 1922 and 1950, the egg was bought by Emanuel Snowman of Wartski, sold, and bought back by Wartski. The egg was sold again by Wartski on Christmas Eve 1972 to Stavros Niarchos for £64,103.[4]

but the question is what are they eyes for. i guess the bigger question is what does gold egg have to do with ETA Cassiopeia that also got eyes for
jade citrus
yeah I can't tell what rob is trying to give clues for
if T2ABC is just gold
or gold + egg
To me it makes more sense for T2ABC to be only gold, and then T2DEF to be only egg
and then T3 to be gold + egg

still curious on if the date format provided is how the password is entered or if its something we need to put together to go to the clue

the closest thing i got to a date that matched anything rob said that we haven't picked up on was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini–Huygens
which released the huygens probe on december 25th
and rob mentioned busting out his c64 or christmas
only thing cassiopeiae related is the name of it
and also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebe_(moon) with the march 18th reference
but nothing got eyes but might not be a small enough clue for eyes
but cassini is the only thing that has hours in the date format
but still not sure how anything relates to c64 if its even supposed to.

Guys I'm under the impression the sundial is somehow the answer to this question
Everything in the stars links to the sun

how can we use this Gold+Time with 1064, 79, 5f137s2...
Those 3 answers have golden "values" in them
sharp flame
Eta Cassiopeia had the Density of Gold in it
so it's the element Gold which is one "key"
and I think "time", or something else, is what we combine it with
recap: T1A was about asteroids+fire
T1B was about 79, Roman, Vesuvius (Vulcan?)
T1C was about Elements, Spectroscopy
Elements + Spectroscopy is covered by the Element gold
do we need to think about Roman aspect, and/or Space?
here's one thing that I found, Chrysalis, derived from Gold, is a hypothetical moon, like Vulcan (confirmed) was a hypothetical planet..

If we are looking for gold and egg, is in possible we could be looking encased in gold or some sort of gold casing? Like the shell of an egg?
Cassiopeia has the abbreviation for a "n" and cas. Couldbe like en cased or since this is something time related, there is an a anb b Cassiopei, maybe it like doomsday instructions or something like "in case something "A" happens" or in case something "B" happens?
Or maybe lift off instructions or instructions for beginint a countdown
I mean since this is related to atom number, meteorites and a volcano exploding that's all sounding like a doomsday type event
Atomic bomb, and I'm pretty sure I thought there was a golden code I thought I was somehow related, I thought I shared it but might not have
We were talking about angels earlier there in an angel egg game that is conveniently being spoken about on a website called big bomb lol... https://www.giantbomb.com/angel-egg/3030-8364/
Maybe that was the annotation rock found for Google putting gold and egg together, and rob googled and found the one and only site lol
Or since we are talking about rooms day events and the opening being similar and resembling the house hieroglyph, maybe bomb shelter isn't too far of a stretch
Bomb being equivalent to a bright light or flash like a star
Maybe eggs shaped bomb

sticking around the Gold Egg theme, Halcyon showed up as a synonym for Gold. as an adjective, its like calm or happy; halcyon days of youth = golden days. As a NOUN....a mythical bird, usually identified with the kingfisher
feels really surface level but as we might be going into unnecessarily deep holes, trying to chase connections in the bigger picture.
The greek myth of Halcyon https://www.greekmyths-greekmythology.com/the-myth-of-halcyon-the-halcyon-days/

Rob has also mentioned great 2 separate times now. Great Ee hunters and the great Gianna sisters. Might be looking for a great GS something. Maybe a gold smith
ripe cloud
Also an emphasis on time in several comments. The myth of Halcyon days includes a specific time around the winter solstice that was the only time Halcyon could lay her eggs
"But even in Greek mythology life was not always easy. Zeus ordered that Halcyon would lay her eggs only in winter. Having her nest near the shore, close by the spot where she found the body of Ceyx, the stormy waves kept sweeping away her eggs.
Crying and praying endlessly, Halcyon finally managed to touch Zeus’s heart. Encouraged by the other Gods as well, Zeus decided to give her 14 days of good and calm weather in the middle of winter.
So those two kingfisher birds, or Halcyon birds as they are also known, were able to keep their eggs safe every winter during the period that came seven days before and seven days after winter solstice. During these days Halcyon’s father would keep the winds calm on the sea.
Halcyon days are still celebrated in Greece, in memory of Halcyon and her sacrifice. Practically, Halcyon days appear in mid January and do not last for more than a week or ten days maximum." (from the same link I posted above)

So in robs comment about painting on the C64, he mentions dreams and his games being played by 1000s of people
In the myth of Halcyon, Morpheus the dream god appeared in Halcyons dream to tell her about her husband drowning.
In an excerpt from a poemMetamorphosis by the poet Ovid: "King Sleep was father of a thousand sons – indeed a tribe – and of them all, the one he chose was Morpheus, who had such skill in miming any human form at will."
https://www.greekmyths-greekmythology.com/morpheus-the-god-of-dreams/
Being the master of dreams, Morpheus had the ability to send images to the visions of people, to shape these images and give a form to the creatures that lived in dreams. Morpheus himself had a talent in mimicking any human in the dreams, and was able to take any form he wanted.
Morpheus of course also connect with the Matrix, and was featured in a book from earlier T1 EE hunting

Neil bartlett taught at berkeley

xenon's atomic number is 54
i think this may be a floppy disk realted thing
Commodore 1541
54 in the middle
floppy disc has a center ring similar to a nucleus
and a similar shape to the gif image cut out
and you would save things here to look back at things over time in a sense
nucleus would be in the center of an egg
xenon is used for obtaining the electron configuration of gold
is this the gold egg?
floppy disc's were the golden standard for saving stuff or looking back over things
or for sending/transferring images from one thing to another

I feel like my hole is pointing to the winter solstice, 22/12/2023 03:28.

ive also come accross winter solstice more than once

Ive tried a few different formats in the password to no avail though.

yeah exactly the comment that spurred me giving it a try.
03221223 3221223 322122023 03_22-12-23 etc etc
A few references to 7 numbers so the hour of 3 plus day 22 plus month 12 plus year 23 is 7 numbers (7 stars in Pleiades, 7 digits in the 6000666 number, etc)
Feels wayyyy too obvious of course but had to try.
turbid tinsel
i think the hard part as well is deciding what is for abc and then what is for def
ripe cloud
Just what I was thinking. While its gold that got me to Halcyon, it feels much more connected to eggs
Rob does say T2abc + T2def are pretty obvious

also in regards to photography
and xenon
During the 1930s, American engineer Harold Edgerton began exploring strobe light technology for high speed photography. This led him to the invention of the xenon flash lamp in which light is generated by passing brief electric current through a tube filled with xenon gas.
used for imaging
and images was included in your message that was pinned
In 1934, Edgerton was able to generate flashes as brief as one microsecond with this method.
maybe exactly one reference
xenon was also a video game for the c64
developed by the bitmap brothers
BIT reference was made by rob
game was released in 1988 and gold has a radioactive isotope - Gold-198, 198Au
atomic nucleus are measured in picometers, abbreviated as pm which is a time element
The term nucleus is from the Latin word nucleus, a diminutive of nux ('nut'), meaning 'the kernel'
kernel using in computing
idk i could be wrong but i strongly feel this is xenon related

I like that the gameplay has you shifting between two modes. Not finding the sources now, but feel like at some point through my digging through old comments and padlets and such, Ive seen the theme of something being of two natures or transmuting or whathaveyou.
turbid tinsel
convert would be another similar term, like converting an image
which was something i was just looking at but not seeing anything concrete yet
becuase if i go backing into converting and images, i get pulled right back into the koala rabbit hole
and ALeX Kazik
rob using EE makes me think of unicode also
turbid tinsel
EE together in a noun for eye

A further read on this and counterfeiting men, maybe we should be looking at fools gold. "Imitating" gold, and you would have to open your eyes when examining or spotting fake gold, which could end up a whole other hole and spotting fake photos or something
or emulation
like vice
or source code
or dna/ dna sequence

im not sure if i saw something correctly. but does \ have any reference here? because i noticed it on spookyne's message and then he edited it, and robs fishing message originally said STAY STRON until he edited his also to say strong. someone tell me it was the clue.
and that it was not a coincidence
im at work so i didnt mention it right away but i can't have been the only one who saw that right?
turbid tinsel
and my belief is nothing is coming soon. but rather sooner or later some one is going to notice it.
down i go
we've had a clue earlier that pointed to a keyboard error before i made a comment on awhile back
and that escape reference i put up before #easter-eggs message
It is sometimes called a hack, whack, escape (from C/UNIX),
Several other ISO 646 versions also replace backslash with other characters, including ₩ (Korean), Ö (German, Swedish), Ø (Danish, Norwegian), ç (French) and Ñ (Spanish), leading to similar problems, though with less lasting impact compared to the yen sign.
we got the w reference from eta cassiopiea
idk how coding plays into this, but yall who do should be able to take over on this from here.
why was watch important and gold? because there are gold hex codes under gold for Swatch
gold, watch
turbid tinsel
also after digging and the matrix being relevant
i think this is also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_multiplication
more importantly
might need to combine some elements on the table, but still not sure if this is related to ""
neat, \ is invisible inside " "
or the hint might of been missing a letter or something about backspace
and robs original word before fixing it was stron

fishing or phishing
ok so on a dive i ended up at the bank of england, and if you delete a letter you get egland
egland that contains gold
also found a familiar name there
or we need to subtract 1 letter from something
like maybe something recently that rob said

Hey, I'm in linear algebra right now! We've been doing matrix multiplication for calculating the solution to a system of linear equations

When rob mentioned Gothenburg I found a found a ship named the Gothenburg that sank in 1875 with 3,000 ounces of gold from the English, Scottish & Australian Bank Limited.
turbid tinsel
We need to subtract a letter or a -1 reference
-6 from c64 and you get c4
c4 used in mines or maybe bank hiests
turbid tinsel
Egland could refer to an eggs company egglands best
Taking the n out of england
To many rabbit holes now
Take the l out of gold and you god
Take the e out of egg you get gg or good game
Take a out of eta you get et phoning home 🏠
Or tim eg or TiMEG equations

Yeah thats why im trying so hard to stay surface level. I feel we have it all, just "gotta connect the dots" so going down more rabbit holes might be more distracting...but on the other hand might reveal HOW to connect the dots we have.

Old egg or in other words a century egg. Or 1000 year old

One of the pics have a gold like center
Thats actually kinda pretty. Also looks like the last egg in that Nama Tama picture

Not sure if it would be related, but I'm just throwing out information. Took the m out of time, which lead to tie and then the tie breaker for the c64 which is a tennis game which lead to a tennis court which could also resemble the missing space in the gif, which apparently tennis was also 1st played in England

ETA, take away the t you get ea, ea sports "it's in the game!" Lol
But maybe we subtract something from the Latin word of gold?

This made me think back to @turbid tinsel 's previous comment about fools gold, when discussing Morpheus and dreams and imitation. Fools gold is iron pyrite, a sulfide mineral. And sulfide is what makes eggs gassy and turn green around the yolk
turbid tinsel
Ok I think I know what they were referring to. Rob had to add a letter to his words but cause it was missing one, spookyne had to subtract one. It's probably a play on the + or - or ='s and the number of eta
Like the numbers aren't 100% accurate because it's within a range
But not 100% sure
