[brazen drift]

doesnt really make anything

[unborn pilot]

haha

yeah, i posted that number cause it repeats 3 times.

313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232 (3 times)

i don't think adding them up is gonna lead to much.

[junior swallow]

18 d d 3 9 18 in hex I believe

[junior swallow]

Probably right

[unborn pilot]

and then it forgot the rest of all time haha

[brazen drift]

wops

anyways

[junior swallow]

lol llll

[brazen drift]

i have no clue what to do with those number

[junior swallow]

So uh, gold and eggs, right?

[brazen drift]

.

[junior swallow]

Me neither

[brazen drift]

we stuck again

maybe ill call it a night and look back in the morning

I’ll come back to this tomorrow. I should probably get some sleep.

[quaint wing]

Right click the message > Copy Message Link

[junior swallow]

Good night lol

[brazen drift]

?

[quaint wing]

It saves you from pinging someone with a reply, and it lets you post the post itself.

#easter-eggs message - Now when you click it, it goes to that message.

[brazen drift]

oh i turn ping off

[quaint wing]

Instead of pinging the person you replied to. Helps keep things a bit more organized.

[brazen drift]

like so

[quaint wing]

You might've, but the person you're eplying to might not have.

[brazen drift]

you can make the reply non ping

[quaint wing]

Ahhhhhh, I gotcha.

[brazen drift]

anyways, we've made ZERO progress

[quaint wing]

Still helps when there's a lot of information to throw in a message!

It's not so much zero progress as it's crossing things off the list.

[brazen drift]

[junior swallow]

Good night, guys.

[coarse dagger]

@pure loom did we ever figure out the significance of these two marks back in T1B?

[brazen drift]

could there be a numerical value related to each previous password?

#easter-eggs message

[pure loom]

I don’t think so. Rob confirmed it as something to too

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message
What's with this message from Dusty?

Compose yourselves, my friends! We fixed the whole passcode/password snafu for this tier, right Rob? Though our methods may leave people feeling a little "angebatur"...

Thanks for answering about these clues so our beloved deteggtives don't spend another week in the circles of hell!

Dante's circles of hell was lightly discussed about a week before this post, but she brought it back up...
And did we ever figure out the significance of "angebatur"?

I'm also not really grasping what the "passcode/password snafu" she mentioned was...

[brazen drift]

Make a thread

So I remember tmrw

Angebatur is Latin apparently

[coarse dagger]

Eh, this is a year old post, and I don't want to clog up the threads with every little question.

[brazen drift]

Annoyed

Angebatur=annoyed

Probably was hinting at latins use during earlier parts

[unborn pilot]

password/passcode = there was some posts before that any ASCII main symbol could be in the password right?

i belive it points to that something like ? could be in an a password

or maybe even the - in the date format

[coarse dagger]

#easter-eggs message

[unborn pilot]

our methods leave them annoyed in latin reinforces that the dates are possibly all in roman numeral (which isn't anything new, but consistent)

[brazen drift]

Hm

[unborn pilot]

#easter-eggs message 3x s (clue?) & 3x ! (points to easter egg)

#easter-eggs message 3x old (clue?) & ee in cute (points to easter egg)

back to back not thaaat long ago.

[brazen drift]

Egg again

Egg and symmetry?

[unborn pilot]

i skimmed Dusty's messages before, but might have to all over again in deep

i see S as a clue, and "old" as a clue.

[brazen drift]

Good idea

[unborn pilot]

Fibonacci Day
Fibonacci Day is celebrated on 23rd of November every year. It is celebrated to honour Italian mathematician Leonardo Bonacci, the most talented Western Mathematician of the Middle Ages.
He is also known as Leonardo of Pisa and Leonardo Fibonacci. He introduced Europe to the Hindu-Arabic numeral system to ease the calculations with numbers unlike Roman numerals.
He introduced one of the most influential sequence of numbers called as Fibonacci Numbers, which further derives a unique ratio in mathematics, called as “Golden Ratio”. Surprisingly, Golden ratio can describe many phenomenon of nature to financial markets.
Fibonacci day is celebrated on 23rd November every year and the date 11/23 is selected because the digits in 11/23 makes the part of Fibonacci sequence i.e. 1, 1, 2, 3.

At least we can celebrate this today.

[brazen drift]

Hm

Could Fibonacci day have significance

[unborn pilot]

I’ll let you know after I go through 1064 more clues

[pure loom]

Definitely the wrong channel for that

We need one that says “this is taking forever”

[quaint wing]

One year we'll figure this out.

Another r.cade will show up and be like "Y'all are idiots, it's speghettios" or some shit. and BOOM. Done.

[coarse dagger]

How about this?
Edit: image fixed see: #easter-eggs message

[pure loom]

Perfect.

Ooohhh boy it gets hard to follow how things may or may not connect to that tier's password once you get to T1C.

[coarse dagger]

Tried visiting the following:

canyoureachthefinals.com
reachthefinals.com/canyou
canyou.reachthefinals.com

Nothing

[drifting chasm]

We got any eyes yet?

[brazen drift]

Eyes?

I mean I got two in my skull but if your looking for smth else let me know

[drifting chasm]

One of the embark staff running the Easter egg hunt puts the eye emoji if someone gets something correct and isn't speculating about it

[brazen drift]

No eyes afaik

Also, no hints this time

So maybe not

We’re finding stuff tho

[drifting chasm]

Do you know about ques.jpg and tion JPG?

[brazen drift]

Ya

[drifting chasm]

Isn't that a clue though

Or are you saying there hasn't been anymore clues

[brazen drift]

The guys (idfk what they did) have pulled some pattern thing out of it

[brazen drift]

Nothing more confirmed

Ques and tion are still good

Those came from previous web answers

[drifting chasm]

Cool, wonder how long it'll take the egg hunters to crack this tiers password

[brazen drift]

Maybe a while

[drifting chasm]

I give it a week

[brazen drift]

The struggle is real

[brazen drift]

I appreciate your confidence

[drifting chasm]

I mean I think last tier was solved pretty quickly

[brazen drift]

Couple things I’ve been seen thrown around: diamond, bias wrecker, Pisan calendar, and a walk in the park connected to the matchstick men

[hard current]

diamond likely means diamond clue(s) which are known about:)

pisan calendar relates to the answer for a previous question in a tier, the answer being 1064 (melting point of gold as well)

walk in the park might just genuinely mean this part is easy, not sure

matchstick men we’re still not sure if that was just an observation by Rob or an actual hint

[brazen drift]

Matchstick men seems promising to me, and a connection to walk in the park

For Pisan:

If you look hard you’ll see it

[hard current]

where did you see Bias Wrecker? I found it in an old image tier, but it turns out that’s just a slogan for one of the “companies” ingame

[brazen drift]

Nvm then that’s my sources as well

[hard current]

yeah this was from a previous tier that was never used, so our current guess is it’s relevant to this tier, or a diamond clue for the further future, but I’d agree that seems important for this tier

Ty

[pure loom]

Try making a video about it! Haha. You end up going “I just won’t mention that bit because I have no idea how it connects.”

Maybe “a walk in the park” means wandering back through all the previous clues

[brazen drift]

Oooo

Doing that anyways

[hasty anvil]

#1177282752660385843 message already ahead of you haha

[pure loom]

Or… maybe it means the answers are in the park in Monaco and we can only solve it in-game

[hasty anvil]

would we be limited to waiting for game release though?

[pure loom]

It’s possible Rob might have thought we’d solve 2F-1 by the time the Open Beta was up and we could have done it then. So maybe we will have to wait. I’m starting to lean towards that because there doesn’t seem to be any clues in the images at all.

[brazen drift]

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1177282752660385843

Who can decipher noise?

Anyone here?

Have some interesting stuff I’d like looked at

[pure loom]

I have a question - by “Golden Clues” do you guys actually mean Diamond Clues?

[brazen drift]

Are these diamond clues? I’m getting mixed messages from people

[hasty anvil]

golden clues and diamond are different

[hasty anvil]

we only have 1 confirmed diamond clue from a url, that was very hard to get

i dont think golden clues are as hard as diamond

[pure loom]

We haven’t had any proper mention of golden clues throughout the entire EE hunt, so I’m not sure where that’s come from.

I think, once, Rob mistakenly called Diamond clues Golden early on because he might have still been deciding on the name for them then. But I’m pretty sure there aren’t separate Golden Clues

Generally it’s just been tier clues (from primary through to quaternary+) and diamond clues.

[brazen drift]

This is from the image linked bottom part (img1)

Let me know if this might be anything

Will do with the others later

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message

'Ohh, and then there are there are 8 “golden clues” so far in total that leads directly to the final tier of Level 2 - The Promise.'

Diamond clues lead to level 3, golden clues lead to the final tier of level 2

I would guess all tiers tie to the finale tbh

#easter-eggs message

'Diamond Clues contains the solution to the FINAL level... they are extremely hard and complex... ._.'

[hard current]

^^ I was just about to tag

[pure loom]

I am 99% certain that was a mistake by Rob because I DM’d him about it at the time seeing as this mention of “Golden Clues” suddenly came up for the first time out of nowhere. This is what he replied with: “Ahh, that’s probably just a typo… I called clues Diamond, Gold, Silver, Bronze in previous EE-hunts…” and “No, the diamond clues are the ones that is pointing towards the final answer of the entire puzzle and the last level.” @proud minnow if you have any time can you please confirm that?

[hard current]

damn if this is true then I’m gonna cry

[hasty anvil]

that would've been nice info for all of us lol

[hard current]

but to be fair he even details they point to the final tier

[pure loom]

Yeah, we might have discussed it at the time, but sorry for you guys that are probably just looking at Rob’s messages. It would be good if Rob can confirm though, because I don’t want to put you wrong if he meant something else in the DM.

[unborn pilot]

He said leads to “final tier of level 2 the promise”

So if he made a mistake then all diamonds are wrong

And they all point to this level

[hasty anvil]

fish kind of questioned it too and rob confirmed

[pure loom]

Yeah, I know. I’m just saying I think he might have made a mistake in explaining it because he was essentially saying that there are only diamond clues.

[hard current]

which makes me think that even if he mispoke there ARE clues pointing to the final tier…

[unborn pilot]

Yeah at first. Then the golden thing came up in that one message

[hasty anvil]

If that's the case, does the /burrw url clue lead to this tier?

[unborn pilot]

So now it appears there may be “golden” and “dimaond” and then for norma tiers primary, Secondary, etc. hopefully we get a confirmation but I’m not sure we will as that might be too obvious then

[pure loom]

Yeah, I do think we need clarification because it isn’t crystal clear.

[hasty anvil]

'crystal' haha

[unborn pilot]

What’s interesting is if you search he didn’t even announce diamond clues until one was found

But months before that he said there were golden clues in the post explaining everything

8 golden clues at that point

And only 1 diamond

[hasty anvil]

If there were 8 diamond clues A-D tiers, that doesnt sound extremely difficult

[unborn pilot]

Then a few months later it jumps to 3 diamond

He never mentions golden ones again

[pure loom]

Because by “final answer to the entire puzzle and the last level” he meant that they lead us into the final level, but not answer the whole thing.

[hasty anvil]

@proud minnow Please Saint Rob, what's the difference between golden and diamond clues

my brain will melt

[pure loom]

And at that time Level 3 would have been the final level.

So, they should have answered this level - hence why I think diamond is correct and golden was a typo from Rob meaning diamond

Hopefully he has a minute to confirm, but he may not

[sharp flame]

Rob did say he wouldn't be saying a thing when it came to this level haha

maybe even to correct old misspeaks

[sharp flame]

Diamond clues are the last Level, Golden clues are the last tier of Level 2

He very specifically mentions "the final tier of Level 2, The Promise"

[hasty anvil]

we need clarification

[sharp flame]

Not really lol

[hasty anvil]

cause if he said that here, and said something else in dm, i dont know what to think

[sharp flame]

he's never contradicted himself with this stuff 💀

[hasty anvil]

that's what i think

[sharp flame]

And Rockhound I think I can link the relevant messages for this

[hasty anvil]

he's acknowledged before he can't afford to misspeak cause he knows it will spiral us into the wrong rabbit hole

[sharp flame]

Which prove that wrong I think

[unborn pilot]

He went detailed there and explained there “directly to final tier of level 2 the promise” which seems like a clue that makes sense only now

I could be wrong but did you guys know there were diamond clues at all when you found burrw?

[sharp flame]

Rob literally confirmed that Diamond clues don't relate to Level 2 as well

[unborn pilot]

Good find fish

[hasty anvil]

they didn't know about them until they found 1

[sharp flame]

Searching for when Rob said Diamond Clues was something any of us could've done though 🤣

[hasty anvil]

i linked this already...

[sharp flame]

Not sure how we're more confused about this tier than yesterday 😭

There are Diamond Clues for Level 4 and there are Golden Clues for Level 2

this is confirmed

We have found 1 diamond clue that was confirmed, and we may or may not have found any Golden clues. Rob has not confirmed either way whether a clue we found was golden.

[quaint wing]

I swear to Rob. Every time I open this chat, things are more confusing than when I left.

[sharp flame]

Idk I'm trying to spread my crystal clear view on this

[quaint wing]

You're doing great boo

[sharp flame]

I need to make an EE FAQ or something lmfao

[quaint wing]

Throw it in the egghunt command

[hard current]

edit: pee pee poo poo fish is correct

[sharp flame]

That's really not something that should be shared

[quaint wing]

Yeah, he copied and pasted the relative information.

[hard current]

ah ok I didn’t see if it was copy pasted or not

[quaint wing]

Rocks not out here to confuse us, just provide us what they can!

[sharp flame]

I'm iffy about even copy pasting the other side of a DM

without checking first if you can share it lol

you never know, maybe the Direct Message is intended to be direct

[hasty anvil]

important info about the ee shouldnt be shared in dm, it should be shared here tbh

[jade citrus]

Not sure why there was so much confusion on this, golden and diamond clues are clearly different.

[sharp flame]

It is shared here tho so what's your point haha

[hasty anvil]

it's this where diamond and golden might have been wrong though from this dm

rock said he dmed rob and gold/diamond might be a typo

[sharp flame]

idk if Rock checked with Rob if he could post that

[hasty anvil]

right but i dont want to be wasting my time looking for a typo lol

[sharp flame]

Look we KNOW that Diamond and Golden clues are different

Because they refer to different parts of the hunt

[hasty anvil]

100%

[sharp flame]

Rock is asking Rob to clear up what he said in a DM, by asking in a public chat though 😭

I'll assume Rob's okay with it though

[hasty anvil]

I think this EE's been in the making for years, so golden and diamond clues would've been clear way before where we are now lol

so they're definitely different

[sharp flame]

since he's insinuated he wouldn't give any hunter extra info

[sharp flame]

I think when Rob was replying to that DM he was assuming he mightve mixed up the terms which got Rockhound confused

Since he felt the need to reiterate to Rockhound what a Diamond Clue was

Which was clearly different from the description of a Golden Clue

So I don't think there should be any further confusion on this

Especially if Rob is keeping is "promise" about not speaking this tier

[hasty anvil]

so we need golden clues from past tiers for this one, that's all

i like Rock's idea that 'walk in the park' means going back through what we have though

[sharp flame]

My only point of "confusion" is that Rob never mentions golden clues again

Even in his recap of later tiers

He says "2 clues for Diamond Clues" but never Golden

[pure loom]

There are no “golden clues” that’s why I DM’d Rob.

Lemme see if I can get direct clarification

[sharp flame]

What statement are you making when you say "There are no golden clues"

[pure loom]

I’m saying there are tier clues and there are diamond clues only

[sharp flame]

And also why does he mention "Golden clues = the final tier of Level 2: THE PROMISE"

And "Diamond Clues = the final Level"

[pure loom]

It was a typo. But let me get confirmation because there are mixed messages

[naive mulch]

is there like a thread or somewhere that shows all the biggest discoveries in one place? or do i gotta dig

oh dope thanks

[quaint wing]

Padlet is the best place to see things we've come up with and tried to connect for different tiers. The pins in this channel and the egg hunt channel are great resources too.

[sharp flame]

The only evidence for it being a Typo is that damn DM you brought up 😭😭😭😭😭

[sharp flame]

now I'm starting to doubtttt

[quaint wing]

We'll get there fish. It's okay

[sharp flame]

I thought I'd come back with MORE understanding

[hasty anvil]

I really don't understand why if it was clarified in a DM, it wasn't mentioned in here until now

[unborn pilot]

Haha. The DM sounds like it’s meant to clarify what diamond is now. Not to go back on his own words saying golden is not for this tier and that it never existed

[quaint wing]

Language barriers maybe?

[sharp flame]

Rob also puts "golden clues" in speechmarks like that

[naive mulch]

hell yeah

[sharp flame]

And Diamond Clues capitalised like this

[quaint wing]

I know we're from a bunch of different places and have different ways of saying things. Could be easy to confuse words/terms.

[brazen drift]

?

[sharp flame]

so what if he never calls them "golden clues"

but that's just a hint-y name

for them

it does make sense that there have been Gold clues since the beginning

and we know that Gold is a part of our T3F answer

so if there were clues back then for THIS answer they were probably "golden"

right?

[hasty anvil]

Like this for example has been there since T1A, but now we have the '?' information, we have access to knowing this could be a golden clue

without the '?' from this tier, this image has no meaning

[sharp flame]

Saw this yesterday! Amazing find!

Man that's crazy

Rob is literally the Riddler

[hasty anvil]

If we saw this image at the beginning of the easter egg, it has no value

[brazen drift]

That should be an emote

[pure loom]

Honestly, there’s no point in arguing over the golden clues thing in here. Rob told me it was a typo and I thought the mistake just got overlooked at the time. I’ve sent a message to Dusty to see if we can have clarification.

[sharp flame]

How did you phrase your question lol

[unborn pilot]

Exactly. That’s just brilliant puzzle making

[sharp flame]

Cause what Rob said was pretty straightforward

[quaint wing]

Well, lets collect all the ? we can find in shit and see what happens.

[hasty anvil]

I'm gonna keep going that gold and diamond clues are different until there's clarification

[quaint wing]

Something might jump out or overlap in some of the images.

@hasty anvil made a great find with that from T1A, what else might be lurking in the shadows

[hasty anvil]

For past tiers to have clues to the final tier, that we wouldn't understand until now, I think is an amazing puzzle strategy

[brazen drift]

I’m working on some stuff from 1B

Sounds from imgs

[hard current]

so far 1A and 1B have been looked at deeper

[hasty anvil]

it'd be great if someone people could start a thread on a new tier, but i will get there eventually

Dusty save us

[hard current]

oh dusty is here!

[cedar owl]

Let me get some clarification as soon as I can 🙏

[hasty anvil]

I hope they are different, I think it's an amazing idea

[quaint wing]

This whole group also has a tendency to go on tangents the moment we see something. Theorycrafting something to come up with what we thought the answer was when we first saw it

We read super hard into some things.

[sharp flame]

Saint Dede

[pure loom]

Thanks!

[sharp flame]

I think Rob is just taking a little break from us while he works on making THE FINALS as good as it can be

Okay dusty is about to get possessed by the spirit of Rob and start speaking in his voice

give it a sec

[tough vault]

what juicy new things have yall found

[cedar owl]

I called SR but he's a busy busy bee right now. Soon as I can chat with him, I will let you know. My initial thought is that this doesn't really matter so much for your current mission -- but let's get that from the mastermind himself

[quaint wing]

thank you!

[tulip swan]

thanks dude

[sharp flame]

Dusty we have noo clues and we are asking if there are any at all in tiers before this 😭😭

a bunch of desperate eggs we are..

[quaint wing]

I can hear the panic in that message. All panic, no disco

[unborn pilot]

I guess it’s just to know if what Rob said in that message last year is still true

If so then we good. If what he said to Rock on DM is accurate then we should not be looking further as not to waste time 🙂

[cedar owl]

Let's see what dear Rob says. If I had to guess, he'd say "you have all the clues you need" but I am not in the business of guessing.

[sharp flame]

I can hear him saying it already ❤️

[cedar owl]

Might be a while before I can get ahold of him. Don't feel hung up on this year-old question in the meantime

[sharp flame]

Anyways if we truly have all we need with the two images we have and the passwords of previous tiers... Let's get cracking 😃👍

[brazen drift]

Does this look like a word to anyone else? Originating from the 1a question mark image

[quaint wing]

Look for some more "?" lurking in the shadows of other images and see if we can connect something.

[sharp flame]

Dusty ily

now go rest from this chat, or you'll get brain damage (or worse, brain growth)

[hidden sand]

Daily egg post for egg

[hasty anvil]

If the answer isn't to look for gold clues then im at a loss lol

[sharp flame]

We have 2 images and plenty of themes to use for a password

What I think we should do is combine Gold, Egg, and then use a single cipher on that phrase

now thats just how I think it'll go

what we need is the cipher, and what we have is the phrase

Not sure if goldegg is it

or some sort of golden egg

or a word which somehow combines the two?

either way, we also have the ?, which I actually speculate is for the cipher, not the phrase!

if we go back to ? = 3F....

G6 : G = 6

3F : 3 = F

?

f = iii (possibly)

[brazen drift]

I have something

I analyzed the 1A image with the question mark here using ‘sound analysis’https://29a.ch/photo-forensics/#noise-analysis

[still smelt]

What in the CSI is going on over here

[brazen drift]

Does anyone else see a word in the image?

[brazen drift]

We are breaking the code

[still smelt]

Are you sure there is a code? Looks like rando gibberish to me

[brazen drift]

Welp, non believers can saw what they want

[still smelt]

Listen, if this has something to do with the release date I'm going full hopium on this one

[hasty anvil]

can you draw over it?

[brazen drift]

I’ll try

I don’t even know what it says

[jade tulip]

let them cook

[sharp flame]

I was just about to say it looked like scribbles, cause it was 😭🤣

I think there is room for a word there

but if you can't find the word in the regular scribbles then idk

[hasty anvil]

from orginal image, all i can see is a yellow U bottom left

and then the image is maybe a graph idk

[hard current]

I don’t see anything immediate in that image

[hasty anvil]

also i haven't got the this tier yet, but 1E has 'Top left corner pixel: hex colour #1F6888 / #206888 ❓' that was unused

it's like light blue

but seems significant

[brazen drift]

The Blue text is meant to say ‘smth’ indicating I think there’s something in the circle

(I changed to greyscale for better visibility

The question mark is the question mark

It might be gibberish

But, it stuck out to me

Y’all let me know what you think

[hasty anvil]

maybe try it with this

I think the ? is the clearest "clue" there, which was a good one

[brazen drift]

More zoomed on target area:

[hasty anvil]

i dont think anything will come of this tbh

[brazen drift]

Probably not

But it really stuck out to me

I saw some letters popping up

I’ll give it up for now

Not sure what else to look at in the image

[silver ruin]

E?yijt!!

[brazen drift]

Thank you

[silver ruin]

taht right?

[brazen drift]

I have no clue

no pic perm but its the not solved one

[pallid hull]

what is this channel? what yall looking for

[pure loom]

#egg-hunt-onboarding

[pallid hull]

welp time to get some Adderall to decipher this shit 🫡

[fallen jasper]

no drugs needed!

(also, no drug talk pls)

[pallid hull]

doctor approved!! :3

[pallid hull]

(also sorry, won't happen again)

[fallen jasper]

then all gucci, pls take your meds!

[brazen drift]

We do really need the help

[pallid hull]

ok so essentially the clues are hidden in the images right?

[brazen drift]

That’s the way I understand it

Go look through some threads

[coarse dagger]

He did?

Thought I had last night:
xxxx-xx-xx also has the same number of characters as "question"

[pure loom]

? = ..--.. in morse code, so I tried splitting it into ..- -.. which gives "UD", but no luck as a password. Maybe this is the sort of thing we should try though - various ways of representing "?"

[turbid tinsel]

Has anyone looked into the golden question yet?

[quaint wing]

It's been a thought, but I don't know if we elaborated on it yet. Since it does match up with something Rob said originally.

#easter-eggs message

[turbid tinsel]

Yea but does rob actually give direct hints to clues or hints that need to be thought about?

[quaint wing]

He's the riddler.

Everything said could be a hint, could be a clue, or he could just be saying hi to everyone. lol

[turbid tinsel]

And if we are going based off of that then we would need something containing all of that like a calendar

[quaint wing]

The pisan calendar has been brought up

Lulz talking about it on the 12th: #easter-eggs message
There's a bunch of other mentions of it, and a possible link to the xxxx-xx-xx found in one of the other images.

[pure loom]

where did this xxxx-xx-xx clue come from? Can you post the message link please?

[quaint wing]

Let me see if I can find it.

[pure loom]

thanks

[quaint wing]

Here's the picture itself of the hint, I'm trying to see where it came from.

[hasty anvil]

the blue ospuze drink image

[quaint wing]

Was that related to the EE vacation you guys had? That pictures was originally posted February 22.

[hasty anvil]

this image

[pure loom]

thanks!

[pallid hull]

can someone clarify to me

is tier 3 the only one remaining?

cause the rest got a red cross

[quaint wing]

For now, yes.

[pallid hull]

i can't find which image is for tier 3

[quaint wing]

The two questionmarks from ABC and DEF are what we have to start with, but we also think everything ties together to finish this level off.

#easter-eggs message - These pictures.

[pure loom]

We know there will be a Level 3, but know nothing about it

[pallid hull]

so now i need to investigate the question marks? correct?

the white and the golden ones

[pure loom]

yeah

[pallid hull]

gotcha

[pure loom]

And see if we can come up with a password based on them

[pallid hull]

how certain are you that the rest of the clues will be taken into account for the next ones? Has this been the case for previous puzzles before?

[quaint wing]

A, B, and C were related to Gold, which is what got us to the ABC password. D, E, and F were related to egg, which is what got us the DEF password. The questions mark pictures we got were gold and white, or gold and egg, so we think everything's still meant to tie together to finish it off.

[lofty grail]

the "find psw: XXXX-XX-XX
isn't that a date form? like YYYY-MM-DD ? maybe the game's release date? or smthing related?
#1177112955939192923 message

[pure loom]

personally, I think it's highly unlikely the EEs will lead to the game release date - it's too risky a path for Embark to take on marketing the game

[wet lodge]

i feel so dumb lookin at these lmao. Good job to yall though for being so abled !

[pure loom]

we spend most of our time feeling this way but do it anyways haha

[pallid hull]

do we have any high quality images of the question marks?

[quaint wing]

Just what's on the site.

[wet lodge]

Are the originals the one you pointed to ?

[quaint wing]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2

[pure loom]

We have talked about how their low quality may mean there aren't any visible clues in them, and they are instead a hint to a path in themselves

[lofty grail]

Perhaps a reference of the "poule aux oeufs d'or" (the hen of golden eggs) which is a fable from La Fontaine. maybe the date of birth or death of the writer? could it be something like this?

If the password form is XXXX-XX-XX it reaaaally looks like a date

[pure loom]

"find psw: XXXX-XX-XX" could also be interpreted as "Find something with initials PSW and a date YEAR-MONTH-DAY associated with it".

[pallid hull]

usually people will overanalyze, this specific puzzle's answer might be staring right at us tbh

it's too simple, just a ?

[quaint wing]

This is supposed to be a walk in the park, but we tend to go overboard, often.

[pallid hull]

that's what im trying to say

[quaint wing]

You're fresh eyes/brain. Take that and see what you come up with!

[pure loom]

For instance - and here's an example path I just came up with - PSW could stand for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_Society_of_Washington which was founded on March 13, 1871.

If you search that date: "On 13 March 1781 while making observations he made note of a new object in the constellation of Gemini. This would, after several weeks of verification and consultation with other astronomers, be confirmed to be a new planet, eventually given the name of Uranus. This was the first planet to be discovered since antiquity, and Herschel became famous overnight."

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

oh dang - the date is wrong lol

1781, not 1871

nvm

[pallid hull]

maybe it has to do with the invention of the ?

theorized that alcuin made it

[brazen drift]

Psw is likely password

[pure loom]

also possible

[lofty grail]

should'nt we search for something related to the Gold & Egg words?

[quaint wing]

We're all in the same boat taking turns trying to patch the holes we make. We try different passwords and see if anything sticks.

[brazen drift]

And the question marks

[quaint wing]

#1175206999802249307 Here's the list of passwords we've tried so far.

[pure loom]

that's the most obvious, but it also seems a little too obvious

[lofty grail]

then the question is "golden egg ?"

[brazen drift]

Which makes it less obvious

[brazen drift]

There is no specific question atm afaik

[unborn pilot]

It’s interesting that the date in the metadata is in xxxx-xx-xx format

The one in 2015 that was clearly added in I mean

[lofty grail]

yup but what if?

[spring tusk]

Could it be something based on question and periodic table elements?

[unborn pilot]

As Rob said they didn’t start working on the Easter egg until a little over a year ago

[brazen drift]

Dude smart

[lofty grail]

I mean, two T2 giving QUes-tion

[pure loom]

great idea

[brazen drift]

Make thread?

[pallid hull]

smart

[lofty grail]

so gold egg

[pallid hull]

URANIUM MENTIONED RAHHHHHHH

[pure loom]

titanium readily dissolves both nitrogen and oxygen

[spring tusk]

There's technically nothing for the letter q though.

[pallid hull]

Q could be for question mark

so

[lofty grail]

but there's the right ammount of atomic numbers to fit in the 8 Xs

[pallid hull]

q92992287

[lofty grail]

9299-22-87

[spring tusk]

Perhaps

[pallid hull]

hmm

[pure loom]

Top search result for all of these terms together: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_periodic_table

[lofty grail]

i'm really bad at this but just trying to find some dumb clues that smart people like you might have missed haha

[quaint wing]

You're not dumb, none of that talk.

Everyone has a different perspective which helps lead to different thought processes and conclusions. Something one person misses, another picks up on

[brazen drift]

We’re all geniuses

[spring tusk]

It's a lot of trial and error. A lot more of burning brain cells than making some. You're fine

[pallid hull]

you guys checked LSB for both ? right?

I found an "A" for the white question mark, right side

[lofty grail]

I can't add reactions, but thanks haha

[wet lodge]

There is just so much details on the white question mark

[brazen drift]

What’s the password attempted link again?

[quaint wing]

#1175206999802249307

[wet lodge]

the golden one doesnt have much though

[pallid hull]

LSB imaging for the white question mark has a lot of man made shapes that do not seem to belong on the image's noise

[brazen drift]

Like the website

[quaint wing]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/t3-f

[brazen drift]

Thx

[pure loom]

do you reckon? We looked at this a lot, but when I compared the results to a random jpg I used for comparison, many of the shapes and symbols appeared in both

[pallid hull]

i can dm you what i see

it's a literall letter

[pure loom]

post it here

[pallid hull]

no image perms ):

[brazen drift]

Maybe a mix of elements and numbers

[quaint wing]

Use imgur if you don't have post permissions

[pure loom]

oh dm then

[pallid hull]

https://imgur.com/a/N1pqwsk

idk if you guys found this yet

[lofty grail]

Definitely, I found so much weird things while playing with the two images yesterday : https://imgur.com/a/YWgmljp
shapes that doesnt look like normal noise at all

it looks like the weird shapes are mostly if not exclusively on the right side

[brazen drift]

Do you know what, sometime, we need to grid this and go through it part by part

If someone sends me a gridded img I will go through it and note every design and letter/number

[lofty grail]

GUYS,

[brazen drift]

WHAT

[pallid hull]

SHOOT

[lofty grail]

Ok i think I got something about the question marks which corroborate my idea about the question beeing "golden egg?"

[brazen drift]

HIT ME

[lofty grail]

the first image is a golden question mark, the second is a white question mark, like an egg

[brazen drift]

mhm

Look in the images

[lofty grail]

ques: golden ?
tion: egg?

[brazen drift]

Hmm

[pallid hull]

https://imgur.com/a/ZPKsijD

THIS IS FROM A FUCKING VIDEO GAME

I REMEMBER THIS

had to do with car racing

same exact layout

[pure loom]

I'm not so certain - like here's what could be interpreted as an H shape - but this is from the random jpg I used for comparison. It's not too hard to imagine that an A could form the same way

[quaint wing]

That's what we've thought about, but haven't found anything more outside of that.

[lofty grail]

so once again, Jean de la Fontaine wrote a fable about a Goose that lays the golden eggs

[brazen drift]

I think it’s a good starting point

[lofty grail]

which talks about the greedy ones that really want to get a desired thing

[brazen drift]

Or maybe the next step is in the other img

[brazen drift]

Relatable lol

[wet lodge]

I dont have perms to send anything here. If you want I can dm you the question grids

[lofty grail]

Translated from french:

Avarice loses everything while trying to gain everything.
I do not want to testify to this,
Than he whose Hen, as the Fable says,
Laid a golden egg every day.
He believed that she had a treasure in her body.
He killed it, opened it, and found it like it
To those whose eggs brought him nothing,
Having robbed himself of the most beautiful of his possessions.
Nice lesson for the little ones:
In recent times, how many have we seen
Who from evening to morning are poor
For wanting to be rich too soon?

[lofty grail]

remember the game?

[pallid hull]

checking

[wet lodge]

maybe the The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs publishing date ?

[pallid hull]

the whole fucking thing could literally be something like the question about the egg and the chicken

since we got so many fucking eggs

and the question mark symbolizes the enternal question

did the egg bring the chicken or the chicken first

or should i take my meds?

[pure loom]

the egg brought the chicken

[pallid hull]

or the chcicken brought the egg

thus, ?

[pure loom]

egg was around a lot longer than the chook

https://tenor.com/view/hatch-wake-up-im-awake-born-baby-gif-16077632

made in 1974

[lofty grail]

We know it's from the XIXth century but not much

[lofty grail]

le't me guess, comodor?

[pallid hull]

wdym?

[wet lodge]

Got it, so the goose with golden egg wouldnt work as its 1919

[lone wave]

game that was on comodor 64 ?

[pallid hull]

ahh no

it was on a cabinet

[wet lodge]

What about white gold ? The metal ?

[pure loom]

platinum

[wet lodge]

White gold was invented in the 19th century when manufacturers alloyed gold with palladium.

[lofty grail]

1668 my bad for the goose

[brazen drift]

Ok, I have this now

(Thank you vaje)

[pure loom]

oh no, I'm wrong - "White gold is an alloy of gold and at least one white metal (usually nickel, silver, or palladium)." - made to look like platinum

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

[brazen drift]

Where does this come from?

[lofty grail]

how did you managed to get that?

[brazen drift]

Ask vahe, he’s doing even more now

I’ll summarize; it’s a 9x9 pixel each grid with glowing edges applied

He’s writing a script to get the grid squares by themselves

[lone wave]

The fact that we have a dark pic with a golden "?" and THEN an all white one, makes me think about an event that could be the end of something, and then the next day could be a new beginning with a blank paper. OR... autumn golden leaves, then winter, snow

[lofty grail]

oooh ok!

[brazen drift]

So I can sift through them individually and mark ones of interest

[lone wave]

Winter starts on the 22nd of december

[pure loom]

It's from a random jpg I downloaded to compare to the bit plane details/symbols we see in the "tion" ? image. I wanted to try and work out if those symbols etc were just normal artifacts.

My conclusion was that what we see in "tion" is just normal jpg artifacts

[wet lodge]

You can remove the jpg artifacts and it removes from being square. It takes the grid away

[hard current]

?

[wet lodge]

I wish I could send a picture. I can dm you what i mean though

Alright i got them separated into 9x9 grids. Also removed duplicates by doing md5s of images

[lofty grail]

what about layering the two images in photoshop with ques at the top and Tion at the bottom, then exporting and analyzing the result?

[wet lodge]

#easter-eggs message This one has that.

[lofty grail]

any ideas why I can't chat on sub threads?

@hasty anvil the bullets, It looks like the letters L O G D = GOLD

[lone wave]

I have trouble finding how we came to the conclusion that T3 password is going to be XXXX-XX-XX since it comes from an old pic

[quaint wing]

I think it was less consluion, more guesstimate since I don't think they found a use for it before.

[quaint wing]

Unless they did, and no one really knew it at the time.

[hasty anvil]

can anyone with ps skills look at this as well haha im struggling

Tier last tier of level 2. We know there will be four levels.

[quaint wing]

Good morning, welcome to the shitshow that is us today. lol

[brazen drift]

#easter-eggs message

Should we look more into this

[hard current]

might not be a bad way to go

[brazen drift]

I think we should put more into it in the context of ques = gold tion = egg

As well as periodic

Latin

Just any previous themes

[quaint wing]

Put your effort into the things you believe to be right. Everyone will focus on their leads and help out with others as they cross theirs off the list.

Since we have no way of knowing what's right, everyone doing their own thing in most cases will at least help cross things off. Especially when they start throwing passwords at the login page!

[hidden nacelle]

wtf is quark

😆

[quaint wing]

Google says soft cheese

Also a type of particle.

[hidden nacelle]

there is no Q on the table

[quaint wing]

I think someone mentioned the extended periodic table.

[brazen drift]

I’m going to do the thing that Vahe made when I’m on pc, when I’m on mobile I will investigate the periodic table

I’m going to make a thread for organization

Queston and the Periodic Table

[brazen drift]

I think it’s a bust, or maybe I’m not looking the right way

[quaint wing]

It's still worth looking into. See if anything can be pulled off with it. If all ends come up dead, they can finish their line of thinking.

[brazen drift]

My brain doesn’t like it idk

Someone else should look

[wet lodge]

white gold is maybe worth looking into as well with periodic tables

[quaint wing]

Always worth a shot. See if you can find a connection to it in one way or another and post your findings. If someone else can build on it, perfect! If not, a bunch of minds coming together may get something to click

[brazen drift]

Has nickel, silver, or palladium been brought up before?

#easter-eggs message

[quaint wing]

Looks like b0kb had a ton of revelations with it, and Rockhound did earlier.

[brazen drift]

Hmm

#easter-eggs message

What can we do with this

Big! ‘All I know is that, like @pure loom said, all the actualy passwords are kinda related in a Cataclysmic event’

More like a beginning of something…

A date…

It all makes sense…

The beginning of something as a date written year, month, day(XXXX-XX-XX)

[formal moon]

arc references ?

[unborn pilot]

did we ever figure out 13.0.10.3.3?

i think it's a mayan calendar date for Jan 1 2023.

it's on the same image as the find psw

[coarse dagger]

Wow, you're so original! We definitely don't get someone making this joke once a week!

[unborn pilot]

It's funny how the level limits made me want to post less, but for some it just means spam until you reach it

[brazen drift]

Go read where I linked

[coarse dagger]

Please keep discussion to easter-eggs only

[brazen drift]

#easter-eggs message

[hard current]

hmm potentially

[brazen drift]

It makes sense

If this answer follows that pattern I would say it’s pretty strong

It’s also something we can look for, a lens

[unborn pilot]

it makes sense but since before the start of the Julian Calendar it's hard to find anything with an actual month and day

[brazen drift]

Not Julian calendar necessarily

Just a calendar that goes y m d

[unborn pilot]

true

[brazen drift]

Like a lot of Asian calenders

[unborn pilot]

but if you search most major astrological or mathematical events there's like nothing with a Day & Month.

[brazen drift]

Weren’t we talking about zodiac earlier?

[brazen drift]

So it’s not a astrological or mathematical events, just the beginning of something

[unborn pilot]

so one theory is it's another transation

maybe a date in the Mayan Calendar we put into XXXX-XX-XX

(just thinking out loud)

[brazen drift]

That’s my only point, gold at the BEGINNING of life, eggs are the BEGINNINGS of life

[unborn pilot]

cause you're right, days were kept track of, just not in our traditional way today

[brazen drift]

Beginning, date, gestures with hands

Idk man

It seems so right

[unborn pilot]

i don't deny it at all. we just gotta figure out how it connects and to what

in a sensical way

[brazen drift]

I’m going to scour the question mark images soon

[unborn pilot]

cause there's patterns to all the clues

[brazen drift]

(Thank you Vahe) and if anything connects to previous topics, I will note it

He applied glowing edges

And cut the image up

And I’m going to look at each thing

Will mark importance

[coarse dagger]

T1C: THE_FINALS_Promo_ISEULT_Candy_
#official-art message
I suspect there is a separate unfound meaning to "AAИ". Cyrillic was the clue. See below.
We interpreted it as indexes to the alphabet -> 118 -> number of elements in the periodic table... but 118 is already plainly visible on the M11.

[sharp flame]

clues appearing multiple times also happens abundantly

for that one however I think the script it was written in was an early Dmitri reference

[coarse dagger]

Right, but we also know clues can/should often be used multiple ways... Probably more than we have been thusfar

[coarse dagger]

Good call, 100%

[brazen drift]

How deep have we looked into the question mark images?

[turbid tinsel]

theres really not alot to see besides outside of the golden mark and the background of the white

but nothing conrete from any of them

[brazen drift]

it seems theres more to it

[turbid tinsel]

for sure

[brazen drift]

ive done some fooling with the images

using https://29a.ch/photo-forensics/#strings

[turbid tinsel]

but nothing ive mentioned has gained any attention

[brazen drift]

i have a couple things ill post in a thread or dm

i have like 8 versions

prefrence?

[turbid tinsel]

theres stuff all along the outer rim of the gold one

numbers and words

markings reminisiant of the edge of a quarter or something

[brazen drift]

really

hm

i posted my tomfoolery in #1176963788797386912

big marking on right of question mark

[turbid tinsel]

next to the bottom mark of the question mark i found what seemed to be a 2

in another box kinda

[brazen drift]

show what u did?

[turbid tinsel]

in a game atm

if you search my chats you can find it

[brazen drift]

dude i can already tell your gonna go crazy here, the golden question is related to something the dev said, ill make an acutal thing for it later

[brazen drift]

i see.

#easter-eggs message

does anyone else see this?

[jade citrus]

this is a good connection

[pure loom]

These was some mention of alchemy earlier. One connection on that front is this and the black and white backgrounds of the question marks.

[brazen drift]

maybe, i dont understand the connection fully though

[jade citrus]

hmmm maybe not, I can't seem to find a lot of info on this

[brazen drift]

me neither

im looking rn

im goin back to source

I just mean the black and white opposites thing. Not really sure if Alchemy is a good path though.

probably unrelated but Euclid, Pisa, and Kepler mentioned in the golden ratio page

[hard current]

wasn’t euclid part of another tier

[jade citrus]

yes T1D 0vif0rm

[sharp flame]

so was kepler, pisa

[brazen drift]

Hm

[sharp flame]

golden ratio might be specifically something to look at

[hard current]

ratio of gold to egg

[jade citrus]

so GR relates T1A (Pisa), T1C (Kepler), and T1D (Euclid)

there could be more connections

[turbid tinsel]

Yea I shared that earlier

Does the bottom mark in the question mark look like a key cap or something? I swear I've seen a similar shape somewhere

Maybe that's why we kept getting eyes on keys/keyboards

[brazen drift]

Wdym

[turbid tinsel]

And it was for a different tier

[brazen drift]

Where

[turbid tinsel]

The bottom dot in the question mark itself, the gold one

The shape itself reminds me of something but I can't specify what atm

[brazen drift]

It does huh

[turbid tinsel]

And something else to note is I'm 90% sure there is something on all 4 sides. I just can't bring it out enough to make it worth sharing

And it's divided into sections as well

[brazen drift]

Idk either

[hard current]

looks like half of “62” at the bottom of that image

[jade citrus]

GR also relates to nacre (calcium carbonate) [T1E]

[hard current]

can you send me this pic?

[spark whale]

whats this

[turbid tinsel]

I did all of this from my phone but pointing out what I noticed but could be nothing. Outlines of the background seem to stand out along after some tweaks all across the top and bottom. As well as go the outer rim of the question mark itself to stand out more. What the compression will make look worse I have no clue lol

[spark whale]

oh

[drifting chasm]

looks like a guy holding a stick

[hard current]

I miss rob

wonder how he doin

For any veterans (or newcomers who would like to help with historical EE hunt research!), I would appreciate some help making sure I'm not overlooking things from time to time in the above thread. THANKS!

[lofty grail]

I really think this is not related to Alchemy. I'm struggling with that since yesterday but I believe the Gold and egg question mark are supposed to be layered in some way to get the full question.

Regarding the colors used I think it's just relative to the T2ABC (gold) and T2DEF (egg) A visual way to stay in line with the t2 while giving us a clue to the T3.

The naming "ques" and "tion" seems to be an indication on how we're supposed to layer the two images. One on top of the other, or one beside the other. I'm really trying to find something here that could lead to some direction for the next parts

[pallid hull]

im i tripping or does this look like a maze?

[lofty grail]

seen how ther's a spike on the golden question mark levels?

[lofty grail]

might be helpfull in some ways:

The "cosmic egg" or "world egg" is a mythological motif found on cosmogonies of many cultures. [..]The Rig Veda (RV 10.121) uses a similar name for the source of the universe: Hiranyagarbha (हिरण्यगर्भ) which literally means "golden fetus" or "golden womb" and is associated with the universal[...]

We have a whole thread on this

Read the other thread linked

[languid plinth]

I was sent here to play some mind puzzles.
Haven’t written anything useful in here yet cause of just getting an understanding of where you are at the moment and where to start digging for t3.

[brazen drift]

Ok

[languid plinth]

Okay from where have you found the question mark?

[brazen drift]

Read up, and then I will try to answer what I can when ur done

[brazen drift]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2

[pure loom]

Yeah, I agree re the alchemy. I spent a lot of time on the layering option already with no progress.

[brazen drift]

Wait a second

[brazen drift]

I’ve been looking at that too. Idk though

[hasty anvil]

can anyone good with PS try to give me a hand with this please haha

symbols in the circles

this is a very wip rough idea

from T1C, wasn't solved

[brazen drift]

@tough vault

[tough vault]

yo

[brazen drift]

Start here, you can ask me anything afterwards

https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1100745453206786078

[tough vault]

alright let me put on some tunes and read up

[brazen drift]

-egghunt

Y no work?

#easter-eggs message eh it’s fine

Look there for the bot info

[wet lodge]

Hey hey hey!

[brazen drift]

Hey hey

[brazen drift]

Found nothing

Unfortunately

[wet lodge]

Yeah that one is just rough. Too much to look through

[brazen drift]

No I looked through everything

[wet lodge]

I might have an idea though with it ill try

[tough vault]

am currently watching the YT vid

[brazen drift]

What is it? Also I threw it through other image forensic stuff

[tough vault]

ROB the GOAT

[wet lodge]

My idea is this. We divided it by 9x9 grid. How about we remove the duplicates and out it back together. If a pattern js duplicates then it could draw us a pattern put together

Put*

[brazen drift]

Mmmm

[wet lodge]

Sorry typos lol i just woke up im still seeing a blur

[brazen drift]

I’m not sure how we’d go about that, but if you have a method, sounds plausible

[wet lodge]

Im not sure how the ones i sent will fit in other forensic tools. They more then likely lose the embeddings when i exported them. So a lot of details are lost.

[brazen drift]

No I mean I used the whole base images

[wet lodge]

At first i was working with not the original pic and thus wasnt able to find anything

[brazen drift]

And did things similar to your edge enhancement

[wet lodge]

Gotcha

[tough vault]

is the tier website still relevent or no

[brazen drift]

Yes

[wet lodge]

I think i can make a python script that overlays it

[tough vault]

oke gotcha

[brazen drift]

Cool

[wet lodge]

Do you have any ideas for stuff that might require programming hit me up ill try to make it work

[brazen drift]

Nothing except this kind of algorithmic stuff

And your producing much better ideas then I am

[wet lodge]

Nah man we a team. We work together so all ideas are valid

[tough vault]

oke lad

so

[brazen drift]

Mhm

[tough vault]

what images are we working on at the momment

[brazen drift]

See threads and pins

Us in particular are looking at the top pin

[wet lodge]

Ill try to make some image enhancing for that

Does anyone by any chance have the original for #easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

1 sec

[wet lodge]

Thanks

[hasty anvil]

#official-art message

this'll be best quality

[wet lodge]

oooo thats so neat

Thanks

[brazen drift]

Have we used astronomer egg image for anything?

Might be something in there

[hard current]

was tied into galileo for that tier

[brazen drift]

Cool

Any egg pics we haven’t used yet

?

[hidden sand]

Egg

[brazen drift]

But seriously though any of those that are currently unused in clues?

[tough vault]

no idea am so lost

im having fun using PS and forensically tho

un tools

fun*

[turbid tinsel]

so something i noticed, when opening the "tion" image in notepad, it is way different than every other image. its in like Korean or Chinese, where all of the other ones are opened are different

the others will give like photoshop references ect

[hard current]

interesting but would that be constituted as meta data?

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message

[turbid tinsel]

ahh

ty

[wet lodge]

isnt that also the hexadecimals from the image translated to human legible characters. I see youre using UTF-16

[hard current]

you can change this in notepad I think

https://superuser.com/questions/1199004/change-the-default-of-encoding-in-notepad

oh that’s encoding

[wet lodge]

Yeah utf 16 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16

[brazen drift]

Someone mentioned this earlier. Edit: I read the rest of logs

[hard current]

lot of lines.. are there any upside down crosses by chance? remember those crosses that were found?

[wet lodge]

No upside down crosses and no greek crosses

[brazen drift]

I saw crosses though

[wet lodge]

Yeah the encoding puts the latin crosses

[brazen drift]

Still something interesting

[wet lodge]

†††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††ਠ††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††  like this

[brazen drift]

Latin again

Hmm

Where did we find the upside down crosses again

[wet lodge]

Inside the panda image

[brazen drift]

Have we tried flipping that image over?

So the crosses match

Maybe something will be revealed

[wet lodge]

It contains two lines, second line has both upside down and latin way

Ive tried. I can send you a picture of it if youd like

[brazen drift]

Sure

[brazen drift]

Gotcha

How many of each right side up and upside down?

Like 20 and 11 for right side up or smth

[wet lodge]

Its from https://padlet.com/Kyne/the-promise-t1e-ohsl9b4w3ncqnvqe/wish/2542503142

6 greek, 6 latin, 6 saint peter

https://padlet.com/devefs/potential-golden-clues-zujcce8pfgge6ajm

using this to organize potential golden clues... I really hope Rob doesn't come back eventually and tell us he misspoke lmao @pure loom

[brazen drift]

Nothing on 666?

Deviled eggs?

[hasty anvil]

have we had an update about that conversation yet?

[hard current]

not yet, hence why I'm saying to add stuff here 😉

[brazen drift]

So much

[hard current]

nope.. it seems like dusty and rob are incredibly busy right now
