1337 = LEET
with regards to time, D could be decade
601?
601D 366
601d 366
The fact rob talked a lot about ''time'' is suspicious too
Is there anythind L or D related to time?
day also starts with D too π
oh yeah hahaha
Nah i dont think it's that, I just wonder why he talked about time a lot
on C64 keyboard 601d could be shifted to &_!d
Worth a try Duh!
I don't know if the 0 is supposed to be a blank space or _ or just doesn't do anything
don't think goldegg is the exact password
What about the Eta Cassiopeia parralax
or we would've gotten some confirmation when we were talking about ciphers
Eta Cassiopeia was just a gold pointer
pretty sure its just gold for this password
What if ABC is the answer for DEF, and vice-versa
possible
I do still wonder why it's t1-f-1
so far we have G=6, E=3 and O=0. i feel like we need L and D confirmed
Nahnah, guys, you are digging in the wrong place. G6 is a memento to the "Like a G6" song from 2010
https://youtu.be/w4s6H4ku6ZY
yeah me too
its confirmed
Yep
"And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain?" π΅
T1ABC
Gold
And the cipher for T1ABC
UNLESSS
we are missing another aspect which ties 1064, 79 etc.
just like gold but not gold
Catastrophic events?
Rockhound talked about it
no eyes from that when i went down it
π§
Nice catch
m0n60lia
stop π lets connect things first
DEF has a secondary meaning perhaps
Yo mongolia is next to Kazakhstan, where those coordinates they used earlier were to that weird monument with no name
on maps
but maybe ABC tiers has a secondary meaning
Well I've talked about it but no eyes from Rob, asteroid was a catastrophic event, mendelevium was discovered~~ with bombs~~ by bombarding Einsteinium with Alpha particles and 79 was big eruption (deadliest known in europe)
Im seeing 4 related to D. T1D first clue was 404, D in hexa is 44
we have 44444 clue
trying to find connections lol
I think we're trying to focus on T1A, T1B, and T1C right now
for T2ABC
yeah i mean im only looking in T1D for an inidcation of D=?
cause we have G E and O for GOLD EGG
just my theory im exploring lol
'multiple connections between tiers and levels'
he leaves out 'd' in adventure, but he edited the message too lol
lol
What if we take the tier passwords and translate them from leet
1064 loga
79 tp
5f137s2 sfletsz
potential anagram
1231 Auricula (prov. designation: 1931 TE2) is a carbonaceous background asteroid from the central regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 20 kilometers (12 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 10 October 1931, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at the Heidelberg Observatory. The likely elongated C-type asteroid has a rotation period of ...
I miss Pulvisy :(
i wonder how often rob checks this discord lol
Wait did I miss something? Where did we get the E from?
E=3 as past clue
O=0 too
T1F
from T1F vit3llus
Ahh okay
T1-F could mean past tiers
Also idk if we still need this or not but I found this german website to "encode" and "decode" C64 PETSCII https://kryptografie.de/kryptografie/chiffre/c-64-symbole.htm
like t1a-f
T1-F-1 is this wich is kinda funny, tell me if you see it lol
is this loss?
lmao looks like a face that is just as tired as me
actually rob says -_- a lot
._.
... ._.
.! ... ._.
connect the dots
It is random, just tought it was funny
do a codeblock
you can use the \ before the underscores too
______
how did you get this? haha


press tilde key three times
no i mean work out that was morse for gold? or did you do gold into morse lol
you can also use the \ to do this: @tulip matrix
oh i thought you meant t1-f-1 was morse for gold somehow nevermind
In theory, that should be equal to doing: @tulip matrix
man I don't even know where to start anymore. It does sound like we need to find D and L
@sharp flame Any hit on that Auricula?
A good pun was made that day

(I would react with NamateTama but @rapid mango hasn't added it yet... π)
Kiwii's probably waiting for @cedar owl to give the green light... right...? π
gets banned for @ing staff for no reason
sticker status 
It's went from "pretty obvious" to "I've went down 32 rabbit holes today alone. I have no RAM left from the amount of tabs I have open, and I've learned so much about gold I'm basically Goldmember from Austin Powers"
So I was just looking at the wikipedia article of L https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L and noticed the signal flag. It does kind of look like some of the PETSCII
maybe try 60191d
Negative
maybe if we find a number for d
Dont forget
Remember that the passwords you're trying will be lower case.
We supposedly had everything to solve it a long time ago
btw we've had 2 christmas hints, one recently and one in T1e
and t1e on the periodic table picture gold(au) is crossed out
and i dont think it led to a clue they needed then
I hope we solve it before launch because the activity will definitely slow down in here once the release is there, might be the ref of Rob when he says time is ticking
You have me until I have the Finals and Tarkov Arena, lol
now i know theres EE's ill always be looking lol
I'm not nearly as useful as the others here, but I can retain quite a bit of information
I'm honestly just waiting for someone to figure something out at this point. I'm all out of ideas
I'm trying to build on the things that were sent. The C64 chart sent last night looked great, but no eyes π¦
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_time_zone#D man idk these got numbers assigned to them
interesting is that almost all letters from goldegg would be negatives though
I wonder if the "obvious" part of this tier was just the G=6. Because looking back there is a lot of places where that showed up
robs clue of not 'gold watch' but 'gold something' still puzzles me
I wonder how close to "gold watch" the answer is π€
yeah theres so many G=6 clues
hahaha
We were thinking the same thing π
i only say cause i had the idea 00.00.00 looks like a vault/safe dial
gold is kept in a vault
youve done it haha
wich is why Gold Watch would've been laughable
stocks fr
Password Requirements:
- All passwords are lower case.
- There are no spaces in the passwords.
- Can't be any longer than 30 characters.
I just want to post this so people keep these in mind when trying passwords.
That might not be applicable now though, he said it might change
the lack of π feels like we're getting no closer
I'm thinking maybe Eta Cassiopeia hint only meant that both tier answers revolve around a common subject or maybe set of rules.
It could make sens since both of them are on the same row on the Tfee-level2 website.
'' Eta Cassiopeiae's two components are orbiting around each other ''
I see it in the other way, the lack of π means we are super close
Ahh, if the password requirements changed, hopefully we get an update on that.
maybe this is about passwords too
Golden hour too was mentionned in the past but no eyes
In photography, the golden hour is the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the sun is higher in the sky.
The golden hour is also sometimes called the "magic hour," especially by cinematographers and photographers. During these times, the brightness of the sky matches the ...
I think it might still apply (now with the right image π€¦π»ββοΈ )
But that doesn't mean the G is part of the password
That could literally just mean we're swapping a letter out for the number.
but G=6 so it's not uppercase π
yeah we think G is a message
Did we get GOLDEGG before or after that comment?
I know it's not.
AHHAHAH
We've bounced around on topics quite a bit though in the checks watch... nearly 4 days since we've had comms from him. Β―_(γ)_/Β―
I'm hoping he's just taking a nice Discord-free vacation
to be fair things have gone really fast in here during that time
so reading through all of it might be kinda tough
I keep getting confused with this, I swear there was a message he said about the tiers and levels..
The one where everything in a level could be solved with the same picture? Although difficult, possible. I think that was the quote.
It was this message
Right now, things are easy, when the game comes out, they're going to be hard. That's my interpretation
So we're still good, no spaces πͺπ»
π
So yeah all this plus 4. Standard ASCII only
Wow, that was before my time, so I never saw it, but that's awesome! I'm so excited!
define "this ee-hunt" π
the pre-launch ee-hunt for THE FINALS⦠the future ee-hunts when the game is live is a VERY different story..!
Now we know that could be TEH
Maybe this could have a link with an astrolabe? It was used in the Persian Golden Age, it's also a astronomical instrument that gives time. Kinda tick all the boxes
Golden Age / Golden Time hmm
Here's my understanding of the password requirements from 1 month ago.
this isnt bad
the only box it doesn't tick is the C64
and the guitar chords
π₯²
tbh, the guitar cords I think were just pointing to "G = 6"
hmmm interesting, could be π€
wait guys
did we ever taught
to measure time with the golden angle
on a watch
2 needles
you can create 137.5 angle
hmmm
And it has roman numerals like B
that would explain the angle on the whiteboard and 'gold watch'
You guys are cool but it feels like coming in on rambling schizophrenics whenever I check here
Keep it up though
The astrolabe is a great place to add the golden angle, the question is...where do you set the angle?
What in the fever dream is that?
Do we know what is connected to the C64 other than the keyboard?
Stereographic projection of the north-south meridian and a meridian 40Β° E on the tympanum of an astrolabe
Rob eye'd something like it was only a matter of how to spell it I think
Good morning @coarse dagger
Just thinking more about our G=6, F=6.
What if C64 is C=6...4?
6666?
Or possibly C = six fours
444444
Or just C444444
Honestly I feel like finding the 1064 and 56136 on the C64 character and color memory address screens couldn't have been a coincidence, but Β―_(γ)_/Β―
No same
but
What next tho
I tried to keep going what you had done, but basically nothing else to do
That's basically how I managed to get to sleep. "Welp, no more to do there... time to go to bed!"
People who know the answer are 100% facepalming everytime they open this chat.
Only Rob knows it
I feel like we've managed to gather all the clues, we've found everything related to C64 but, reality is, we don't know shit about time
why is it obvious
And yes...he's facepalming, but I think he's already used to it π
why couldn't eye Gold Watch?
was it too close to the actual answer
Normally Rob eyes everything that are finished clues/or links
if we're gonna laugh about Gold Watch later, then it clearly means its a link or something
but why couldn't he eye it
Might just be on a little vacation. Taking a break from bashing his head against the wall when we'd go down holes.
Probably, fish usually gets really close to the answers, and last time he was one of the people who solved it
A watch tells time, so it might be close since we need to find something else that tells time.
Like a sundial.
got no eyes from this when i posted about it before
An egg timer
@quaint wing I just checked, and Rob didn't eye that back then, so it might not be some other thing that tells time
With an 18-carat gold case, the world's first all-electronic digital watch was also the first to use a digital display created with light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
he didn't eye this either
The Pulsar
Hourglass?
Pulsar
The Banc Tynddol sun-disc (Welsh: Disc Haul Banc Tynddol) is a small, decorated, gold ornament discovered at Cwmystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales. It most likely was part of a funerary garment and is dated to 2450-2150 BCE, which makes it the earliest gold artifact found in Wales. It was discovered on 16 October 2002 by a team of archaeologists who wer...
Pulsar was the world's first electronic digital watch
with an 18k gold case
Gold Watch is funny
Why
Has we actually looked over the images for anything hidden other than the stuff at the bottom of the one image?
So, pulsar is actually short for pulsating quasi-stellar object. It's a small, very, very dense object called a neutron star that is spinning very quickly.
A pulsar (from pulsating radio source) is a highly magnetized rotating neutron star that emits beams of electromagnetic radiation out of its magnetic poles. This radiation can be observed only when a beam of emission is pointing toward Earth (similar to the way a lighthouse can be seen only when the light is pointed in the direction of an observ...
Are you bringing it up because of my connection?
Yes
Why would we laugh about Gold Watch
nono about the First Pulsar discovered
Yeah
Why couldn't he eye it tho
Were you too close to the answer, eyeing it would've gave it right away?
Just found this which doesn't seem to have been mentioned before:
https://www.mobygames.com/game/34152/thrill-time-gold/
I think it might be a coincidence
also I don't think pulsar is the password
because it's not gold
also I feel like searching for C64 + Gold might be deadending us in that regard, I feel like it won't be the password if we kept going like this
But how would it connect to G=6 and F=6
I was trying to add time into that process, but yeah, not something I want to focus on, just thought it was worth a look.
We haven't got C64 stuff in a while, that's all
I think C64 was supposed to point us directly at something else
Could be, but how do we find that something else without looking?
At least no confirmed things
Must have been something on the keyboard
if that was eyed
Are you talking about Rob's keyboard picture, or the C64 one?
C64
On the C64 keys, 6=green
(canβt eye that fish, but you will laugh at this in the future, haha)
We might not be to the right future yet @balmy fog, I wouldn't get too hung up about it
Okaydookie
feel like there is more to the weird pattern on here
@pure loom Thanks! Yeah Lulz showed me
Because we will later figure out how close that is to the actual thing
even if it's not really the same thing at all
maybe it's a golden bracelet or necklace
or a golden ring
Lotr vibe
haha
Lol
Time is precious
Time is money
therefore money is precious
Yep
Time is money meaning basically is time is precious
So we should be getting paid for this
Imagine
Well technically I have worked all day
All I want is a character skin.
Are you not?? 
Just want to note. I'm looking over T1B in this channel and there's lots of DEAD ON HITS which weren't π. Don't know if Rob's gotten more consistent with it since then.

Truthfully I was on discord all day looking for clues on a c64 emulator
So I guess I was paid
Yeah, Rob's eyes were different back then, not sure why π
I think he didn't plan to use them, but after he saw how stuck we got, he started to π
Would they be referring to the watch from Golden eye?
Possible
400ms
The C64 is faster
Der Commodore 64 (auch C64 oder wegen der Form der ersten Version Brotkasten genannt) erschien 1983. Der 8-Bit Computer hatte das Basic-System direkt im ROM: Nach dem Einschalten war der Rechner direkt einsatzfΓ€hig. Software konnte man dann etwa von der Diskette starten: LOAD "$",8 lΓ€dt das Verzeichnis ein, mit LIST lΓ€sst es sich dann anzeigen.
How about the one in C64 style?
was there a gif? I thought Rob only posted a pic
good afternoon egg peeps

I donβt know if it was mentioned before, but maybe C64+Gold is the date of the Commodore 64 Gold Edition release, which was presented on December 5th, 1986. Therefore, it is possible that the premiere of the finals will be on this date :/
#easter-eggs message
Yep itβs a gif
My phone didnβt show it animated
does file name mean anything?
never give up never surrender
Wig why delete you are right too
You had the direct translation
oh haha didnt want to clog
60 bpm i think
our gif
'don't stop you won't get out' for reference
also I know that the 2 urls have been mentioned a lot of times before already but I guess it never stood out to me that 2ABC is t1-f-1 and 2DEF is t1-def. Why is it t1-def?π€
why not 2-def
also t1f is "t1-f" so "t1-f-1" kinda sounds like when you have a duplicate and it saves it like "file(1).txt"
also it would make sense that t1-f-1 is the continuation of t1-f. So basically the C64 booted up and does the ready thing and now we type in something into the c64
not that this is new but it might justify the t1-f-1 and also might hint at the password not just being c64 related but an actual c64 input or something like that
anyone happen to know what the french intercom says in the monaco map?
not sure, there's a Korean intercom too on Seoul
i see
If you have the audio I can translate im French
I know π
i dont

My brain is fried
I tried the inverse of whatever was posted in the list before things went to hell
Someone had a great connection earlier, but unsure if people tried any bit of it
#easter-eggs message - This one
Not sure if its relevant but in steam the finals changed from The Finals to THE FINALS. in all caps now
never used in the hunt rip
another G6 class star
was eyed for previous tier
here
Eta Cass co-ords include time and angle
Coordinates: Sky map 00h 49m 06.29070s, +57Β° 48β² 54.6758β³
I donβt know how I feel about it being all caps
All Caps is the Lore-Appropriate way to write THE FINALS
How are there so many different confirmed things yet they seem so unrelated
this whole channel is the phantom program all over again π₯²
where did 356 come from here?
not sure if this is relevant but The intervals of the G6 chord are the root (G), major third (B), perfect fifth (D) and major sixth (E). so i searched up 356 in wiki and this was the first thing i noticed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3568_ASCII
3568 ASCII, provisional designation 1936 UB, is a dark background asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 24 kilometers (15 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 17 October 1936, by French astronomer Marguerite Laugier at the Nice Observatory in southwestern France. In 1988, the D-type asteroid was named after both...

Where's the link between the two?
oh
I don't think games can delete themselves
Xbox had both beta and full release
Sooo just another stretch here. I was looking at the padlet and it talks about TIME a few times and lurking in the shadows and the pic of the skeleton rubber duck. Could it mean Death? Always been around since the beginning of time and always lurking in the shadows. π€·π»ββοΈ
Also the purple eye girl face appearance as the reaper
Maybe. A gold tomb. Like the Egyptians
π
Man these Easter egg searches are confusing
Yup. They are. There was even a powder bleach product that was a clue. lol
Currently working on this for the tournament gamemode, I tought about making easy videos about the EE-Hunt by chapters, (levels) this could be an easy way for newcomers to approach then they could watch @pure loom complete video!
wth did I just watched. Lol
EPIC! 
why is it taking discord 10 minutes to load a 10 second video
pretty cool, you could do a tutorial on how to reveal hidden clues in images for the new hunters
True!
any map eggs?
what if im the map egg
Its the nama tutorial! π
Hellz yea
Omg yes I was constantly thinking about FabergΓ© eggs because of the "Gold" and "Egg" hints
We've basically listed every single Faberge egg in this chat
I expected as much, just started looking at the EE hunt a week ago so I'm not up to date on anything that's not in the padlet π«£
Do you think it's important to play FPS with mouse sensors?
???.???.????.???.??.????
THE SENSOR ON THE RAZER VIPER V2 PRO IS CALLED PAW 3950
I didn't see it that's why I put it there.
Constellation egg matches a lot though
the name matches the stars we've been hinted at
unfinished like the binary in the images
it's meant to be a clock
Things have really slowed down here huh
good to take a breather
Leo has appeared again: engraved on constellation egg
True at least I'm not staring at pixels 12h a day anymore π
Although I'm still wondering what those are meant to sayπ
I don't, Hate em
so what is this in the trailer can someone explain "good evening this broadcast has been hacked by CNS i seek the truth beyond the walls"
Do you have a clip?
or time?
ill send screen shot
gimme a second
@balmy fog ill dm you because i cant send it here
guessing its for lore of the game
we have already noticed it when it came out
welp i havent
i mightve in the past but i dont remember at all so thats why im asking now
btw heres that time stamp
from the trailer im talking about
It is lore for the game
CNS is a character/group related to THE FINALS lore.. we don't know much about them yet though - @jade citrus talked about it in August
I think this is pretty much everything we know so far π
lol
And I think we can also say that they are against the people that organize THE FINALS tournaments, that's why we get those messages like the one in the trailer or the "S Lies"
lore? in this game? nah
@spark whale βπ»
omg spear
Every time Lore is mentioned, SPEAR appears πͺπ»
you are the main man for lore that ive been watching lately
@solar glade did you bring some
infusions for us?
π«‘
at least its nice to know we are getting a new map for when the full release is happening
imma be watching you for all about the lore cuz
i always have sponsored
cafecito and mate for hunters
I'll take π§
i've been lurking, don't mind me
think we'll ever see interuptions mid game with that whole CNS character or group?
That'd be really cool
i mean they hacked the broadcast whats to say they wont hack the actual virtual game
yessir
as long as lore-related events don't deter gameplay. so it could be like during a loading screen or something
true true
Imagine that you're about to join the match, but instead of you and your teammates jumping into the arena, you jump into some weird place π€
that be sick
or CNS speaks to you or tries to speak to you
damn getting lore for this game is much more harder than the game called GTFO
Fucking Fish is on an other galaxy tbh
The things he do is, I must say, impressive
To be honest, I've never played a minute of Fortnite, but I think Fortnite Battlepass events we're pretty cool, I guess The Finals could do stuff like this in-game. Like it or not, Fortnite kind of set the bar high during those days, I remember the Travis Scott concert, the 2 mega-robots fighting eachothers in the map and some of the others, never even wanted to play a second, but, I have to say, just watching it was pretty insane. I guess TF could do Lore things related like this and implement easter-eggs with it, it would definitely create a hype around the game!
Yeah, he's really good at making connections
I could imagine connect into a game, and out of nowhere there's a K-POP concert in the map and no cashboxes lmao
lmao
burp
I think the image for the Xs for those two tiers have a different background transparency π€
(Also, the Tier 1B X is bigger, but we knew that already)
Maybe we could look at those images for clues? π€
or what if you just need 3 clues for the answer and 1 clue from each tier is in all 3 maybe.
aww you didn't have to β€οΈ
also thanks :)
but yeah not much connections being made recently
we're missing vital connections
or perhaps we have all the vital connections and just need to assemble it properly
Wich, if, that's the case, is worse
Having everything is a good/bad scenario imo, if we become stale, then it's harder to find the actual passwords, while finding new clues and stuff brings up new ideas and paths, having everything is good because we know what to study but it's also frustrating
Rob talking about how this is not a channel for quitters might be a hint to that, maybe he's saying look, y'all have everything but be aware it's going to be tough to find it
I truly don't know, neither have got any idea of where to look, at this point, I feel like each of us kind re-watched a lot of paths we once had discovered, but then again, it lead to nothing (passwords)
also
just noticed the url of T1F is /t1-f. the url of T2ABC is /t1-f-1
T2ABC is a continuation of T1F
For Tier 1D we had the password (oviform) for months, but we couldn't figure out the modifier π
I think this is the case again, we have the password (gold), but can't figure out the modifier
Or not, we're not sure what that means yet
It could be a clue to the modifier π
true, but this must have a reason. otherwise T2ABC would be called t1-abc, like T2DEF url is t1-def
Yeah, but we don't know what the reason is π
Also, it would make more sense for the url for Tier2DEF to be t2-def
true as well
The whole Pulsar scheme wasn't bad, I'll look into it again, I wouldn't recommend going into that rabbit hole, I'll do it, but im just putting this out there for future references;
Pulsar Watch = a 19k gold watch that was the first ever to use LED (maybe C64 link?) + time is ticking, take your time, basically the whole time theme from Rob etc etc etc. (also we're going to laugh about this in the future ''Gold Watch'' from Rob)
Pulsar = First discovered Pulsar, resolved the signals as a series of pulses, evenly spaced every 1.337 seconds. The coincidence of 1.337 seconds (golden angle)
Pulsar Clock = time is ticking, the whole time theme also, reach but ''The pulsar clock consists of a radiotelescope with 16 antennas, which receive signals from six designated pulsars.''
Pulsar(again) = Thomas Gold involved in the pulsed radiation after first discovery of Pulsar
Pulsar(again) = in 1974, ...discovered for the first time a pulsar in a binary system...
**Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) = ** Unit of measurements, just like Au is being used to distance the stars, PTA is being used also as a measurement?
Pulsar link with Eta Cassiopeia = Same universe/theme
Pulsar links with Jocelyn Bell Burnell = She's the one who discovered it, also had a sister, this is a reach but ''The great Giana Sisters'' from Rob?
Weird links https://www.mobygames.com/game/29399/escape-from-pulsar-7/ (C64 GAME)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life (Period 3 is named Pulsar)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS The first mass-produced CMOS consumer electronic product was the Hamilton Pulsar "Wrist Computer" digital watch, released in 1970
I love how you go "don't go down that road. I'm gonna do it for you" π
1337 and 137 I think are technically different clues, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were basically "one clue" under Rob's board
Yeah that's what I think, anyways, this is more of a dump than actual links/findings, its more of a CTRL+F reference if we ever get a lead/new paths
But, I do think everybody should take a break today, enjoy yourselves, we've been going at it for a few days now, maybe some rest will clear our minds! π
βOr somethingβ seems super important.
Gold ore?
Quartz vein
Quartz watch
Isnβt Vein a sponsor?
Gold _____
ilocks 
InB4 Namatama with Flavor Flav giant gold clock neck chain
Maybe βor somethingβ is funny because a keyword starts with βorβ
Like ore
Or something 
Don't ask @balmy fog what "or" means...
I think he was making a joke, answering my joke, I don't know if that's important tbh
Unless Rob knows French... in that case... "or" might be important...
I remember rob eyed this and I feel like this is way closer to a T2DEF answer rather than T2ABC, perhaps since we are working on 2 answers at the same time, stuff that we think might apply to Gold is maybe only a clue for Egg? Do we know if our clues are valid for both at the same time? #easter-eggs message
he said abc and def would be solved around the same time, so maybe
Have we had any other French clues though?

Fine, meet me in Ottawa.
Ohhhhh
Wait did we find any links leading to Canada?
I didnβt read sorry
Or something
Or is actually an acronym for Ovarian release. Which we know leads to chicken eggs, obviously.
It wouldnβt be a dumb theory tho
Thereβs a lot of or something
Probably a lot of astrological stuff too
Like Une RΓ¨gle dβor
So many golden things in this world, but which one is our password!
we're close
Me and Annette can read C64, and all of this Wikipedia can be read in French
or at least we were close
We're definately close, it's just a matter of how we're supposed to put it together, or encode it.
Ore is Ore.
Golden Ore
Yeah
Nah. Personally, I would lean towards Italian since that was pretty common in those tiers
Oro
I also feel like we're looking super hard into obsqure shit because we think it has something to do with something or something.
ron ron
Itβs in french, lβΓ’ge dβor is basically a Greek myth, itβs following the creation of the man while Kronos leads the sky
Γge dβor = Gold age
Γge d'or = B0kb after solving this tier
Lol va chier
I really want to see where this obvious bit is.
Wym
I mean Rob said these should be pretty obvious, and from what I can see, everyone's been working on this for quite some time.
Itβs obvious once we get the answer I bet
If pretty obvious is a month or two of people scratching their head and contemplating life, I want to see what constitutes obvious.
Rob's "obvious" 
Obvious when you have the answer in front of you lol
RN we're oblivious
If I say 0000-000-0000 itβs obvious for me but not for you
But have you discovered anything interesting? It's been days since you found anything
Meaning we probably have everything we need to solve the password
Just a matter of how to type it
I mean, we've learned A LOT about the Commodore 64, gold in general, time, space.
you forgot patience haha
Not sure if this is spam, or R0b is sending clues via email now π
Honestly, after all of this we're going to be the life of the party. People walk up and we hit em with the "You ever hear about Pulsar?"
"That's messed up, right?"
hac horΔ
Damn you Dr Brown!!
Translating to the wrong language now
In case anyone is wondering, Dr Michael E. Brown was responsible for killing Pluto.
Something this ee hunt taught me
Maybe the password we are looking for is Golden and not Gold. Maybe G=6 only means that the gold related password has 6 letters/(characters).
or G plus 6 letters - which GOLDEGG is
old egg
One password is gold related the other is egg related
I do think G=6 is just a cipher
Rob approved that
because at this point Rob wouldn't point us at anything other than the direct answer
if we get G=6
Again, I don't think we should be worrying about "egg" for this Tier
now I don't know if the password is literally the word "gold" or some other version of it
with the cipher applied
if we just start logicing through some more answer possibilities we can push through
cipher wise we already had o=0 and e=3 so it's not crazy to assume g=6
These are also all leets tho :/
I think it is just "gold", it makes sense, and it also explains why he thinks it's obvious
Maybe a Caesar cipher?
Padlet has been updated by lulz
yep
looking now
is amazing work, so thankful it's there @coarse dagger
we know the answer is gold
Rob has made it blindingly obvious by now
but he hasn't mentioned anything else apart from "time"
well.. 79 was a year, so was 1064
5f137s2, can we turn that into time?
The time clue was "Any hour, day, month, year"
I find Rob reminding us about this strange, so maybe you're right
pisan calendar relates to time
Pisan Calendar.. maybe we need to consider that
What if it was the other way around
Hmmm
answer is 78 confirmed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
f=6
Is this confirmed tho?
I thought it was
Yes
Damn
@sharp flame Where did the F=6 thing come from?
Ask fish ha
simple numbers to letters cipher, brought it up as a joke, Rob reacted
F = 6. Here ;
s lies
I wonder if he reacted because the method was correct
I think what that was just supposed to say that we were on the right track with the cipher stuff
yeah
I just tried with numbers for gold/golden, no luck
Hmm GAME
What is all this about? I wanna help. Can someone make a Quick recap over the big things?
Padlet and #egg-hunt-onboarding
Check the pin of this channel.
Thx mate
You have @pure loom 's video that gives an intro to how the hunt works
I recommend it
@worldly shore in here: #egg-hunt-onboarding
why are 6s so important now
6 is the new 1, so hot right now.
rob said "6000666"
which was mentioned if you turn it into 1000111 becomes "G" in ASCII
while also 6=G
weve found G=6 through binary and chr$ mostly
goooggg
And the key swap on the numpad
That was an amazing find tbh
Rob's like a magician, using misdirection to point us to the Rabbit, while hiding the G=6 clue
we're waiting for them
Yeah we simply got a 
I think this requires that algorithm to find pixel-patterns that Rob talked about a while ago, otherwise, I don't know how he expects us to find something out of so much noise π
Something that would "unite" those clouds of pixels into something readable
I know b0kb spent the better part of 3 days putting those pixels together to get something, but it might've been tainted and off by a bit
He ended up with the OB2-mk+2player. I need to verify that
Yeah, it needs to be cut up and assembled
Is it the sun?
should we take the color pallete into account?
Did we try to do that...effect?... that we used in a bullet a while ago to get some word?
(The word was stretched in a circular way, and we had to shrink it to make it readable)
the artefacts the new images have when zooming in are annoying me so much π
these always remind me of this
Have we tried to...unsmear it? I really wish I could explain this better, but what if we twisted the picture so that everything's merging together. It looks like it was pushed away from itself, or smeared across.
This image reminds me of something kinda dark
If I understand what you're saying, that's what I mean we did back then
To me, it reallyyy just looks like the background light they set up to light the characters in the engine. There's a similar halo in both pictures
The word was stretched in a circular way, and we had to shrink it
Circular Stretch Effect
Ofc that's the name for it π
Lmfao. That's what google says for something similar in Photoshop. I'm gonna try just...mooshing it together in gimp while I have a little downtime
Very descriptive name π
I legit cannot think of a way to do this.
fits the Gold theme, no?
015/019 - Treasure
I'm looking for more cards like that.
Troll and toad lets you search by numbers like that. Shows you every set of cards with that number scheme
That's the only one with treasure or gold
Kepler-452b (sometimes quoted to be an Earth 2.0 or Earth's Cousin based on its characteristics; also known by its Kepler Object of Interest designation KOI-7016.01) is a super-Earth exoplanet orbiting within the inner edge of the habitable zone of the sun-like star Kepler-452 and is the only planet in the system discovered by Kepler.

019 015
wait
that's actually
I saw that and thought nothing of it
didn't even realise the G
I talked about the G type of stars
ROB give us π somewhere before I cry more
and now we have one, hmmmmm
''There's a lot of connections in Eta Cassiopeiae;
The Au (Gold) used to measure the average distance
Eta cassiopeia is 101% (Mendelevium) of the Sun's radius
Eta Cassiopeia two-components (2 passwords)

oh π€£ π
Eta Cassiopeia is classed has a stellar classification of G-type main sequence
Also ''Based upon parallax measurements. Eta Cassiopeia distance to this system is 19.42 light-years (5.95 parsecs) The retail of the C64 was 595$US''
5.95 parsecs, 595$US for the C64
iTk also covered it a bit
we know this right
Even better I think
better to just have 1 letter for 1 number
Hold up
holding
This hold music sucks.
yep!
ok ill try to see what fits in terms of patterns
first we should try figuring out the word that needs ciphering
True that
because actually we might just need to swap out the G
since that's all we've been "given" or even mentioned this tier
just G
0 and 3 ciphered were DEF remember
so yknow we should be thinking along the lines of 6old, 6olden, etc.
All ABC passwords are numbers too
so maybe (im saying dumb shit) but if the password is GOLD maybe its 60xx
it would be too simple
But
Rob mentioned "time" a few time(s)
Yep
Wich lead you first to ''Gold Watch or something''
Rob said, I cant eye that
''Or something''
so not a watch
Not a watch
and not a clock
golden hour seems to have been covered already
without being a watch, nor a clock
Are you Easter egg hunters doing okay
sun dial
No. We're sprialing.
Basically, something gold, that could make us think of time
hourglass
related to the C64, the stars and 6's
Good luck guys, stay strong
I thought hourglass the other day, but I don't think it went anywhere.
Then we got the other thing. The ancient one where we were trying to plot the golden angle
Carbon
technically we alr have the golden angle
''Astronomers explained that, beyond the destruction of the stars and the ripples in space, such events also create all the heavy elements we know in the blink of an eye. But what did the media key into? That gold comes from outer space.''
137 was in answer 3
big bang?
'' but more recently it has been suggested that gold and other elements heavier than iron may also be produced in quantity by the r-process in the collision of neutron stars.''
created most things
No, wasnt big bang for the earth
universe
Gold came on earth before our actual solar system formed
?
and if it did, it would take 8 minutes for us to notice
b0kb's keyboard: π₯
My mans typing a dissertation.
you know how everything was cataclysmic related in ABC @sharp flame , the actual creation of gold was a cataclysm too, it was made out of an Supernovae. Stars are made out of Hydrogen mostly, the enormous gravitational pressure of so much materials compresses and triggers nuclear fusions in the stars core, this process releases energy from the Hydrogen making the star shine (that we know from the sun). Over many millions of years, fusions transformed Hydrogen into Heavier elements, Helium, Carbon and Oxygen, they then reached Iron and Nickel. However at that point, Nuclear Fusion doesn't release enough energy and the pressure from the core pierces out. The outer layers collapsed into the center, bouncing back from the sun-injection energy, the stars explodes, forming what we know of a Supernova. The pressure is so high, proton and electron are forced together they then form neutron, with no electric charges, they are easily captured by the Iron, a lot of those captures created Heavier Elements, wich then proceeded to create Gold, etc.
How high are you right now?
It propelled the gold to what we know of Earth
Gold was made out of cataclysm
Just like 1064 was the asteroid (Cataclysm), 79 was the eruption (Cataclysm) and Mendelevium was created by bombarding atoms together
First I've heard of this. Can anyone help dig up this reference???
I've been wondering if we convert any of the pictures or videos to the C64 color space if we'd see anything. Idk how to do that though, or if the algorithms would work well with such a limited pallette.
@coarse dagger βπ»
I kinda doubt Rob would've eyed that if that were the case. It has the potential to realllllyyyy derail us
Gosh, good to know.
This is going to take some fairly technical research... Exciting!
A Gold universe is a cosmological model of the universe. In these models, the universe starts with a Big Bang and expands for some time, with increasing entropy and a thermodynamic arrow of time pointing in the direction of the expansion. After the universe reaches a low-density state, it recontracts, but entropy now decreases, pointing the t...
guys pls I can't catch up
It's honestly a lot of spiraling and us really getting know our solar system much more intimately than we would've ever thought. I'm convinced there is no password and Rob just wants us to learn about space.
Never tought I'd knew how gold was created tbh
All I know is that, like @pure loom said, all the actualy passwords are kinda related in a Cataclysmic event
Or well, correllated in some sort of ways
We know password is GOLD related
This image haunts me
how? jk leet
Perhaps itβs just a basic background. π€·π»ββοΈ
Also maybe, since weβre talking about astronomy, the center can be the center of the universe or the sun. Our galaxy. Our birth. Our gold planet. Our β¦β¦egg. (que astronomical music)
if e=3 and g=6
egg = 366
A year is the time taken for astronomical objects to complete one orbit. For example, a year on Earth is the time taken for Earth to revolve around the Sun. Generally, a year is taken to mean a calendar year, but the word is also used for periods loosely associated with the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal yea...
Dang. Look at mercury go!
1064 was a year, 79 was a year..
and Mendelevium?
1955
It was the first element to be synthesized and discovered a few atoms at a time. Not occurring in nature, mendelevium (as the isotope mendelevium-256) was discovered (1955) by American chemists Albert Ghiorso, Bernard G. Harvey, Gregory R.
the missing year
Mendelevium/Electron configuration
[Rn] 5fΒΉΒ³ 7sΒ²
Most of the research I'm finding on this is on feature extraction and compression. Lots of machine learning techniques too...
In addition, using chat programs such as Chat-GPT or Bard to figure out connections, passwords, decoding, etc. is not allowed.
Is the use of machine learning for image extraction allowed? I kind of subconsciously extrapolated the above rule to mean "No machine learning", but I guess it's not explicitly as such.
if A and B were Gold values, 1064 and 79, then what if C is pointing towards the Electron configuration in general?
oh it is .5 !! the s is the .5
5fΒΉΒ³ 7sΒ²
137.5
I think Rob might just be taking a break. I havent seen him online in a hot minute.
Yeah we knew that @coarse dagger discovered that few days ago
where?
I extrapolated the "s" to be "separator" aka "comma" in the context of the screen color memory map codes
IIRC "s" as separator has been done somewhere else in the hunt
But don't remember where
Thats also why I was saying F is 6, but we still not sure/eyed
I guess we could try template matching 1s and 0s over those pixels. It's not machine learning and more of an automated way of what we were doing anyway.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_matching
The feature-based approach to template matching relies on the extraction of image features, such as shapes, textures, and colors, that match the target image or frame. This approach is usually achieved using neural networks and deep-learning classifiers such as VGG, AlexNet, and ResNet.Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which many modern classifiers are based on, process an image by passing it through different hidden layers, producing a vector at each layer with classification information about the image.
Looks like that's typically done via machine learning
The standard way isn't. You basically just take a small picture of your template and go pixel by pixel to see where it fits the best
6old
I feel like that's kinda what @balmy fog was trying, and it wasn't enough
yUP
Yeah it basically is exactly that. Just that a program does it with math
Yeah that's the only thing
Anyways
Rob said ''almost had it'' before that actual pattern was discovered
I don't even know if we actually need it to solve the password
Also it's more used to locate the template in the image instead of classifying it
Yeah we probably don't need it
I mean it could just lead to another G=6 at this point π
Learning proper techniques will likely help us going forward though; a sort of EE hunter generational wealth.
I was basically trying to say the same thing as Rob in my message here, without even knowing he had said it the past.

The hiding of data in other data is Steganography, and we need to learn Steganalysis
