easter-eggs

[unborn pilot]

So does 5f 137 s2 have more to it?

137 = Triangulum (which has come up a few times)

s2 = Milky Way (also came up in Kari clues)

[full token]

Goose egg is also known as zero. zero = theta in the clues. Golden theta = golden mean, in the golden ratio.

Find the mean of our password list?

Lol

[snow walrus]

5f¹³7s² is Mendelevium orbital

i mean i think golden angle pointed to the orbital not the other way

[full token]

Yeah I mean idk. Seems probable something as significant as the golden ratio could appear more than once in the EE hunt (directly relating to a clue)… but maybe not/that’s intentional.

It certainly shows up everywhere in nature

I like this idea.

[unborn pilot]

At first I thought Ra might be sun god, but actually Ra is Right Ascension which is galactic coordinates but using time (hr min sec)

[snow walrus]

What would be m in this case

[unborn pilot]

You mean that?

Yeah might be an m. But it’s outside the box

So maybe minutes but idk for sure all a guess

[snow walrus]

Yes maybe we take the minute part

[full token]

α = Ra

[snow walrus]

👀 < i see 2eggs here not eyes anymore

[full token]

4/2

Wait

[snow walrus]

Cassiopeia is M shaped

Its Ra: 22h 57m 04.5897s–03h 41m 14.0997s

[unborn pilot]

5f is an _ in ascii

defined directily- An underscore or underline is a line

so i guess literally that could just mean 5f (a line) 137 (Triangulum) s2 (milky way)

[unborn pilot]

@sharp flame @coarse dagger was 206888 solved? if not im pretty sure i got it.

[full token]

what are you thinking? @unborn pilot

[unborn pilot]

20 (Ca) 6 (C) 8 (O) 3 times = CaCO3

trying to solve or scratch all these unsolved numbers lol. one at a time.

[brazen drift]

Carbon trioxide?

[full token]

that's what's up

[brazen drift]

20 carbon trioxide?

[unborn pilot]

Nah that was T1E so Calcium Carbonate.

[full token]

what if that's a 3, not an m? as in the 3rd clue of the 2nd set

it also reminds me of the tournament bracket 🥲

[unborn pilot]

you know when you look close its not really an m, it's more like a ^\

[full token]

I was gonna say ^ but then the line next to it

[unborn pilot]

could be by accident because from far out it does look like an m

yeah that first one looks more like a ^ every time i look now

[full token]

it's tough, there's a lot of smudges and breaks in the expo marker lines, especially once you zoom in

[unborn pilot]

i mean one of the clues on that board was in binary then turned to ascii to be a G, so i wouldn't be too surprised to see other ascii chracters on there like ? and ^ and \ lol

[full token]

how would you pronounce this "OEIS" phonetically?

[unborn pilot]

yeah, the smaller it is, the less i think it's gonna be important, but might be like a tertiary clue to point to something.

[unborn pilot]

uh. depends on the language

oy-sh

or oy-is

not sure. why?

[full token]

idk just in a rabbit hole

https://oeis.org/A000079

was looking through old things Rob said, and then looked at the whiteboard

was thinking about how it looks like a bracket amongst other things.

started thinking about how a lot of this reminds me of coding in various ways, or just what are consistent throughlines, or just... literally anything

"walk in the park" "gold egg" etc

o with the line through it, empty set/null/etc.

then started look at number sequences and the power of 2, aka bracket pairings.. and then finally to Pisot sequences

Laughed to myself a bit about the coincidences, started pronouncing it. Open your OEIS?

then I went back to

haha

[full token]

I appreciate that

[unborn pilot]

that's good thinking for a new connection.

[full token]

still thinking about the Ra and stuff do, i'm just like... pretty tapped

[unborn pilot]

its weird. i get tapped, but then i get untapped a couple hours later

[full token]

Advent of coding just started, so been looking at this under a new light since then.

Yeah me too, but feels like everyones been stuckstuck for a while

just re-reading everything and seeing if anything new clicks that makes sense (even sense-ish)

[unborn pilot]

yeah, but that's why there's plenty of stuff from this whole level that's hasn't been solved

313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232

Btw, we know this is a weird way of representing coordinates

(In the original image, it was written three times)

And I think it had morse in the middle too

[full token]

wait, weird way of expressing coordinates?

[neon stream]

@full token yeah, he eyed that message

[neon stream]

And he reacted with Moolah to this one #easter-eggs message

[neon stream]

And please, don't ask the obvious question: "WTF does a Moolah reaction mean?", because I have no clue 😂

[full token]

oh, thank you, I missed that

3rd times the charm

[full token]

I think it means

"you're on the money"

[neon stream]

Interesting! That's exactly what @pure loom said

[unborn pilot]

I need to consider more numbers and x & y might refer to the periodic table for letters

[faint rivet]

@proud minnow Oh Saint Rob 🙏🏼 our sweet sweet Saint Rob. we need more of your miracle eyes 👀

Heheheeh

[unborn pilot]

Omg that’s amazing

Btw I’ve been looking at this. Did we ever figure out the symbol on the hat?

It looks like the Volcom logo but inverted colors

[neon stream]

It is the Volcom logo 😂

We created that image 😛

And by "we", I mean Duh 😛

[unborn pilot]

Oh that’s fire then

So he used an image yall made?

I only saw it on his desk so I never got that connection 😂

[neon stream]

That's the TL;DR of how it went 😂

[faint rivet]

Omg. The evolution. Lol

[unborn pilot]

And that’s how Easter eggs are made

I’m surprised it’s not on the side of a bus as well then

Okay back to staring at numbers until they make sense. That made me laugh too much

[faint rivet]

I’m hoping they’ll add it in the game, like on billboards. Lol

[neon stream]

We already have the Saint Rob sticker on Monaco... ._.

SR.!

But yeah, I hope they add the image too, it'd be hilarious 😂

That spray/sticker ☝🏻

[faint rivet]

@neon stream sweeeeet. It’ll be cool to have like an ad of it in-game saying something like “are you craving for a hunt for the mysteries of the unknown? Please visit the church of Saint Rob.”
Hehehe

[neon stream]

That'd be so cool 😂😂😂

[neon stream]

Btw, we need this on the Wiki

I'm on mobile now, but if someone can add it, please do so 😂

https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Church_Of_The_Holy_Hunters

Add it there ☝🏻

Here, hear

[sharp flame]

What cipher/method?

[full token]

atomic #'s - chemical composition of an eggshell, (I did not rc)

[sharp flame]

This would have solved the whole tier from the start 😭😭😭😭😭

What a crazy coincidence though.. the Fery Prism which actually connected the whole refraction side

Unless it was Refraction -> Fery Prism -> FERY -> 206888 -> CaCO3

The 206888 is much stronger than the Fery clue 👍

[hard current]

slow in here lately

[balmy fog]

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-shocked-face-ltc-love-top-chef-funny-gif-20794668

[hasty anvil]

It’s gonna be another obvious password

But we’re missing it haha

[snow walrus]

i'm going to check all the tier clues from start and connect them once im available

[unborn pilot]

Just using the periodic table. Split the numbers up and matched them to their atomic number

[jade citrus]

just added this to the wiki, nice solve!

[unborn pilot]

Thanks smash. We’re gonna team work our way to the end of this puzzle one of these centuries

[pure loom]

What’s the FERY to 206888 connection?

[hard current]

would it be a bad idea

to go back and solve every possible clue we can

per @unborn pilot spreadsheet

so we eliminate what we do/don't need

[sharp flame]

206888 becomes FERY in Base64

And under the different types of Prism Fery is one of them

[pure loom]

Hey the Tier 1F clue that has this: 313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232 repeating 3 times, should add the Morse code it has to it.

Which will need the entire sequence shown

[pure loom]

Ok, cool. It was this bit I was unsure of.

[snow walrus]

i still don't get it (: how you decode b64(FERY).toText()=206888 ?

[sharp flame]

Decimal 206888

to Base64 FERY

[snow walrus]

aaah with spaces

okay thanks 😄

[snow walrus]

We still couldn't find the clues that rob pointed did we?
#easter-eggs message

maybe we should find them

[thorn junco]

this is what i found related to မိုးကုတ် and the ruby clue these days

I hope it helps in some way

[hard current]

great work 🙂

[snow walrus]

Question image: Date taken:July 11 2015=> Sunrise Ruby=> Mogok=> Ruby gemstone=> R3C and 0.018

do you think with this 1 clue (the date) could be found all these?

[thorn junco]

including R3C is the crystal structure of ruby and corundum (Space group) and 0.018 is ruby dispersion value (optical property)

also looking at Rob's clues the "ad astra" image looks like a ruby to me from a very close perspective.

and Rob mentions dragons as well and in the mythological story of Mogok there is a dragon princess, the one who laid the 3 eggs in the story

I just saw that Calcite (CaCO3 / "cacoiii" password) also belongs to the space group R3C

and some other minerals

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Minerals_in_space_group_167

[timid solstice]

Just catching up, homages to 007 were in other things

Also, 007 = double 0
0vif0rm

And the the eyes are ovals

[hidden nacelle]

also had 007 on the number plate of the bike in the teaser

[timid solstice]

I think so, we were getting a lot of help from our eggy friend then silence

[timid solstice]

Makes me shudder

Remember as serp and rhb said further down that between those numbers is actually morse code

And you need to add the bullet strip number that was eyes, 2442 ?

And ASADISANT

[pure loom]

And this wasn't resolved - although iirc I got close with it from Rob's response

[snow walrus]

i believe one of is

[full token]

Was thinking about the whiteboards, and thought the graph could’ve maybe been the physical trajectory of the launchpad? Especially since from a programming perspective the origin point (0,0) starts in the top left of the screen due to how CRT’s used to scan… (would that account for flipping the axis?)

But what about this nvm

Taken from: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning

I’m in a circular-objects-shaped hole. So I was thinking about the golden voyager disc we shot out into space and Harmonices Mundi

in ¢, could be “in tune”

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

Per aspera ad astra is in Morse code on there.

[daring bluff]

i know this has already been confirmed to not have anything EE related but I’m only now noticing that 4/5 pics from steam are timestamped at 17:37 in their respective games and now I’m questioning things since I can’t come up with an explanation as to why they would be like that😵‍💫

oh i just figured it out nevermind. It’s definitely because they have a system that takes pics at the same time during a gameplay session and those 4 were all from the same lobby

nvm back to hunting sorry lol

[faint rivet]

Soo, I’m not too deep in the info right now, but I have an idea for the advance hunters. Have yall look into the Voyager Golden Record?

[full token]

I only saw a couple of quick mentions to specific parts really, mainly the Beethoven.

Why, what are you thinking on?

[unborn pilot]

https://soundcloud.com/nasa/sets/golden-record-greetings-to-the

Nah but that record is cool as hell man

[full token]

it really is

[unborn pilot]

Crazy to think we sent a vinyl record into space for something to maybe hear it

[faint rivet]

It just came to thought when I was reading past post about gold and space. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[unborn pilot]

If we think about what gold is there is space even?

That’s certainly one of them now

But otherwise we only got the sun having a golden color and I believe asteroids carrying gold

[full token]

I'm probably wrong but, I thought gold came from like supernovae and stuff, like the gold that's here is from the formation of our planet.

that's a 7, no?

[unborn pilot]

Nah you’re right from that too. That’s the origin. There’s gold everywhere in space most likely. I was thinking about generalizing it

Yeah that was solved

[full token]

damn bro. I keep missing stuff, I read all the way back to like january twice lmao

[unborn pilot]

71 is g in ascii

And the binary above it is 6

[full token]

that's a 1!?

damn, i'm all fked up. I thought the binary was 54 still lol

[unborn pilot]

Yep

[full token]

ty

NQ was solved too right?

did anyone figure out what this is?

[hard current]

looks like something oba? ola?

[unborn pilot]

110110 (binary) = 54 (decimal) = 6 (ascii) and 71 (decimal) = g (ascii). The confusing part there is one extra step on the top part. But that’s why it’s not a direct line

NQ was not solved completely. If it does refer to the quadrants then maybe we can figure out what the graph next to it is picturing then

If that g=6 was a clue to the last tier, then it's safe to think clues for the final password tier might be here too. There would almost be no reason to have clues for past tiers when that was added to the game

[unborn pilot]

look written backwards for some reason

[full token]

100%

[unborn pilot]

mirror/flip it maybe.

i swear someone said that graph was turned around if that's from that.

[full token]

yeah it's at the end of the graph

the x & y axis are flipped

with increment notches at 5 and 10 respectively

the ratio of 2:1 is part of what made me think of the music theory stuff

especially with the g6 chord, but the curve on the graph is way too sharp, and a lot of functions can look the same

[unborn pilot]

so what do you think it looks like?

i know one idea was

but i like anything music or space related

[full token]

yeah I was looking at that

I guess i'm still stuck on finding common threads, if everything we've guessed so far for what the gold egg is hasn't produced any new leads, I just went backwards with that in mind

there was something I was meaning to bring up, i'm trying to remember it rn

[unborn pilot]

probably because we can cross off any literal sense of a gold egg.

[full token]

yeah I suppose so

[unborn pilot]

gold is gonna relate to sun, light, riches, metal

egg is gonna relate to shape, oval/orbit, moon, life, stone

[full token]

it's combining the two in an obvious way to produce an answer to "the promise"

indeed, lol this is frustrating, I can't even remember what drew my attention to circluar objects or coins in the first place

[unborn pilot]

well Level 1 was The Commence and the answer was "geocache".

so either the title has no meaning, or it has a much deeper meaning

[full token]

at this exact moment in time, leaning towards deeper, at least personally

[unborn pilot]

if i'm being literal then "the promise" sounds like promise of riches, promise of life, promise of glory? what else do humans now or ever want

[full token]

right

all of that fades

oh

duh

that's where the circle came from maybe

like an ouroboros

[unborn pilot]

[unborn pilot]

it could have just been a normal question mark without any extra fancy embossing and work 🙂

[brazen drift]

i still think gold-egg has merit

not the passowrd literally

but the idea

[unborn pilot]

when i see those two ?s now, I see a gold bar, and I see a marble statue casting a shadow.

[brazen drift]

we looked at marble nama

did it go anywhere

#easter-eggs message

[unborn pilot]

just the fact that it came out in T1 F and the text on it said 1063 which refered back to T1 A

[brazen drift]

#easter-eggs message

t1 F and t1 A

seems like w have a place to look

i cant even remember what i said a week ago. yikes

[full token]

it's all good, time is a construct lol

[brazen drift]

i feel tha

whats the prev passowrd page?

like the link

[unborn pilot]

why would that say 1063 and not 1064 and why would Rob say 1063 was hidden not 1064. Can't tell if that's a clue to something being "off by 1" or just the number "1"

[brazen drift]

remember how we solved?

im overreacting, but we found 'harmonics' in some old numbers

So either it's a throwback joke, but more likely not as he always puts "..." when there's a clue in a message.

seems like you guys were more excited at the time with other things with the PTE img, which is understandable / trying to use it as a decoder

[unborn pilot]

you're looking at what the letters can spell out?

[full token]

well sort of, I was at first

then I noticed the underlines

they underline just the first letter and not the whole element, which I thought was interesting

so I wrote it all out and was playing around with the letters

[unborn pilot]

Yeah very clearly too

[full token]

the only thing I could come up with including all of the letters was H A R M O N I C S

at least in my own wiki delves

harmonics has come up like almost 6 different times in one form or another

[unborn pilot]

Oh interesting. I had a really hard time seeing all the underlines when I tried on my own

Now if I can throw you in a loop. I think one of these codes we have is (x,y) but coordinates are the periodic table and we use the first letter

[full token]

yeah I remember somebody pointing that to Tantalum, but it was left as ?

[unborn pilot]

There has to be a reason for x and y to be there above it. And if I recall the numbers above each column are underlined on that photo

[full token]

wait

[sharp flame]

also anchorism and omniarchs hehe

[unborn pilot]

X,y could be starting point of where to read from or something

valid point though

[unborn pilot]

Did we solve what snowflakes meant? They were in like 6 images

This was all recent during tier F. the namatama had icicles, there was a hidden iceberg, this has a Christmas card.

Winter didn’t lead to yolk?

[full token]

memory is fuzzy, but think it led to stalactites? which the trail/last pair of eyes stopped at the edited picture of the bat nama tama with the green bg

when I first saw it, I thought about symmetry and that it's a hexagonal/crystalline structure sort of

[unborn pilot]

Same when I saw snowflakes. I saw geometry and crystals

If we can tie it back directly to cacoiii or vitellum that would be ideal. But otherwise it likely points to winter or geometry

Winter could be helping us narrow down a date we’re looking for

[full token]

ngl that extra E thing just soul-crushed a whole theory I had lol

some of it still has legs, but, back to gold + egg imo

[unborn pilot]

Is “yet” some sort of clue? I saw he put it in quotes and just looked back and it’s been said 16 times with … before it, twice in caps, maybe an acronym or something similar

Hello all

[timid solstice]

I just came across a funny connection, I searched "what is gold and egg shaped"

it showed this crossword helper
https://crosswordgenius.com/clue/indicator-shows-gold-in-egg-shape

'gold in egg shape' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'shape' indicates anagramming the letters.
'egg' with letters rearranged gives 'gge'.
'au' placed within 'gge' is 'GAUGE'.

gauge in latin is metior

---

also found this golden egg shaped sauna in sweeden

gold egg space (solar)

#easter-eggs message

[ember aurora]

yo full circle lets go

[timid solstice]

hehe I just checked incase and yep you found it

[ember aurora]

i never explored deeply just suggested

there did seem to be a rabit hole there though

[coarse dagger]

And oviform is 7 letters!!!

[ember aurora]

the egg had been near multiple locations mentioned during that part of the hunt and has local connections to multiple "depositories of information" (libraries, museums and galleries), its history of use is for climate accordes, meditation and reflection. fits a lot of things previously in the hunt, and the idea of seeking knowledge and wisdom/reflection.

[jade citrus]

oooo damn never noticed that

[unborn pilot]

is that the egg that's a sauna?

[ember aurora]

it is an egg thats a sauna yes

[unborn pilot]

i saw that one of the first days i was looking into the last tier funny enough. it is up north also

solar egg now seems even more intersting though

[ember aurora]

there is only one as far as i am aware

so definetly worth a look now if it has come up MULTIPLE times

[unborn pilot]

btw. while updating the spreadsheet today I noticed 325 appears twice. in the 404 gif very clearly and then 325CC on Namatama's suit. Not sure if we found significance of it yet, but again has come up MULTIPLE times now too

302, 325, 46 11 94, 1440, 1063 have apearred twice or three times.

[ember aurora]

325 is 8 crt gold

[brazen drift]

1063 is gold melting point

302 46 11 94

1440

[hard current]

I saw it a week or so ago but couldn't make any connection at the time :/

[hard current]

isn't it 1064

[brazen drift]

oh mb

still, 1064 has also appeared with relation to pisan

so pisan as well, with the 'find psw: XXXX-XX-XX'

[pure loom]

this is clever

[unborn pilot]

hmm i think i just figured out 46 11 94

[hard current]

ooo what's up?

[unborn pilot]

HSV color values for "egg shell"

just google 46 11 94 eggshell 🙂

[hard current]

yep

that looks like it

damn yall are knocking out old clues left and right

[unborn pilot]

better than nothing haha

[pure loom]

nice work!

@unborn pilot which clue is that for?

[unborn pilot]

ty sir.

there was a bar of pixels on the bottom left of a photo.

THE_FINALS_Wallpaper_Iseult_Chill_2880x1620

[pure loom]

thanks

[unborn pilot]

and that same photo had /rival-1

which i did not know had the vinyl record chaning rotation every other day

but those rotations were also 46 11 94

@timid solstice @sharp flame check and confirm if you think that's right, but since that was Tier E it feels like it has to be.

[pure loom]

I think this is likely correct. Rob will often double up answers where he can

[hard current]

wait the rotations on the rival-1 record were also 46 11 94?

man cade you're killing it

sorry I've been MIA the last week or so, I graduate college next week and have a LOT to do between now and then

but then I have 2.5 weeks before full time start so I'll be on the hunt

[sterile obsidian]

yo rockhound

you're a legend

[pure loom]

Ha! I'd feel more like that if I could solve this puzzle! hahaha

[sterile obsidian]

legend either way

[brazen drift]

so now just 302 and 1440

[upbeat ridge]

Proud of you guys

[pure loom]

sigh.

[hard current]

felt

I've been looking at my list rob commented on every free chance I get for days now

can't seem to make heads or tails of it

[unborn pilot]

Lame gifs don’t work. Haha

[hard current]

yknow this might be stupid but has anyone tried putting everything together

rob eyed "what is gold egg"

and commented on my list

maybe we have to literally describe what a gold egg is

[pure loom]

OYE - Open Your Eggs?

[eternal zephyr]

Side note. YET translates to An from English to Swedish

[unborn pilot]

He eyed the list and what else?

[hard current]

#easter-eggs message

but that's not the only "what is" question he eyed

cause he also eyed "what is meatspace"

[unborn pilot]

Do we know all the recent eyeballs in one list somehow?

[pure loom]

geocache
1064
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (00)
cacoiii (3)
vit3llus (3)
viold (6)
evivi(66)

I suppose this is the full list from the start. What are we missing? Oh, and "burrw"

[hard current]

yeah but burrw wasn't a password right?

[unborn pilot]

Sorry idk why that was a reply to u rock I was asking in general

[pure loom]

YF292 was that the burrw clue? Maybe we need that

[unborn pilot]

/burrw is yes

[eternal zephyr]

There's no "An" on the periodic, but there is "Na" and it's element 11

[hard current]

at the time when he said I was missing something, I was missing a 6 in "evivi" but he couldve meant something else?

he pointed out specifically I was missing something in the list, I added the 6, then he reacted with a heart to my comment about it

[pure loom]

https://tenor.com/view/salt-star-wars-gif-10873400

[hard current]

so the numbers gotta be like, the end all be all then right?

or at least, the password can't be solved without those numbers

[pure loom]

yeah, we should probably push down this path a bit

[eternal zephyr]

OH MY GOD

Look at the photo!!!

GOLD SALT

Bottom left

[hard current]

hm?

[eternal zephyr]

It's the first salt I looked up

this one?

[eternal zephyr]

Yes

[unborn pilot]

i see rock salt

pure and premium

[worn badger]

vit3llus (3)
what about "vi"?

[hard current]

someone had that line of thinking the last week or so

though nothing came out as of yet

[pure loom]

Rob did dm me at the time to say it was a funny little shoutout, but maybe there was more to it?

[hard current]

yo rockhound https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-9YHpj768vA-rnGgBz1_P0GwfN9UKHLsT6TukiBS1Rw/edit?usp=drive_link

[unborn pilot]

i thought about that too actually

we should consider a version where any o g e might be the counterpart in the final password

[worn badger]

maybe vit3llus (9)

[hard current]

1064
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (5 137 2)
0vif0rm (00) or (060)
cacoiii (3) or (03)
vit3llus (3) or (63)
viold (6) or (60)
evivi(66

[unborn pilot]

0vif0rm

06f0rm

[worn badger]

yes

[unborn pilot]

evivi is 366

[pure loom]

cacoiii could also be 100 (C) and 3 (iii)

[unborn pilot]

and so on

i mean damn, viold could be vi (6) o(0) l (50) d(500)

[eternal zephyr]

455G of salt

[pure loom]

there have been hints about latin, so maybe we should just look at the Roman numerals (including any normal letters)

[hard current]

I just had the same thought

[unborn pilot]

well we've only got I V X L C D M to worry about for those

the thing i'd like to know is what number or date we're looking for

is it in the winter?

[hard current]

with that roman numeral part, it still leaves 1064 and 51372 out as those don't have any roman numerals in them

[pure loom]

add both c's in cacoiii

[hard current]

you should have edit access, I added them:) can you check if you can edit?

[pure loom]

yeah, looks like it

[hard current]

good, feel free to manipulate this whenever!

[pure loom]

ok, thanks

interesting now that burrw had numbers in it - 292 - maybe the diamond clues gives us numbers but without the hassles of deriving the Roman numerals

what we have in the numbers spreadsheet so far

[hard current]

hm I like the idea behind having to look at the literal roman numerals in the passwords

but that still doesn't help us with what to do next... hmm

[pure loom]

Assuming we have the number right (big assumption), we could relate it to something. For instance, Asteroid 3026 is called Sarastro, which would lead to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magic_Flute

[hard current]

I'm looking at rival clues @unborn pilot there's a connection between kari mannerla and the hope diamond, kari developed a game called the star of africa, which is based off one of the biggest diamonds in the world, the Star of Africa, found in south africa, and the hope diamond is itself, a diamond

[unborn pilot]

Yeah and in the game you collect gold & rubies to get to the diamond

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

[hard current]

which would tie into robs clues about diamond clues, bronze gold ruby clues point to the extremely rare diamond clues

hope diamond -> india
Star of africa -> south africa
Louis XIV -> France -> given hope diamond in 1668

Tavernier sold the diamond to King Louis XIV of France in 1668

[unborn pilot]

Yeah you know the other thing from look at all those that confuses me is when I found the WSL (White Star Line)

[hard current]

trade route

yes I was just looking for a famous trade route between those countries but didn't locate anything yet

[unborn pilot]

or a shipping company?

[hard current]

Cape of Good Hope Route - connected all three countries

why were there so many clues for Kari specifically...

[unborn pilot]

a lot

[hard current]

the diamond was cut into 9 pieces

[unborn pilot]

i can't tell if it's to point to Kari (moon / space) or to Kari Mannerla (Star of Africa / Diamond / C64) or both lol

[hard current]

the titanic was part of the white star line

[unborn pilot]

something about Kari the moon feels like the more "obvious" connection (maybe for this Level), while the diamond thing is possibly leading back to games, diamonds, etc for later on.

[hard current]

the heart of the ocean diamond depicted in the movies...

and is based off of the hope diamond

[unborn pilot]

we got diamonds in the sky, and we got stars in africa. lol

[hard current]

I feel like the hope diamond connecting to white star line connecting to titanic and then circling back to hope diamond is much too convenient

[unborn pilot]

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

that led to Titanic too btw dev

[hard current]

yeah, so why would two clues lead to titanic, and diamond in the same area?

[unborn pilot]

on the NamaTama image which in general those NamaTama images seem to have more "broad" clues rather than "tier" at the moment

The letters T, U, R, A, H, and R were found in the jewel of the crown.
The letters T, O, R, S, N, O, and R were found near Nama Tama's earring.
The two series of letters were unscrambled to the name Arthur Rostron, the captain of the RMS Carpathia.

[hard current]

looks like we may be digging into the diamond clues rn tbh

which isn't bad seeing as we're stuck on the tier

[unborn pilot]

that's fine. i think they're there to help us weed out the wrong clues too maybe

[full token]

what if you take the list, and include all of the rules (g=6, remove the o's, e's are 3's). He did say it was a "beautiful list" as in to "beautify" the code, make the list "prettier". the total sum of the answers, could need to be decoded. Use that to somehow relate to "what is gold egg". Still trying to make sense of the fact that we have "everything we need".

[unborn pilot]

i mean diamond is our end goal in the end

[hard current]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-9YHpj768vA-rnGgBz1_P0GwfN9UKHLsT6TukiBS1Rw/edit?usp=sharing

[unborn pilot]

we just don't really need it right now and it's sorta in the way of other stuff, but that's fine haha

[full token]

I have it open ❤️

something else I was thinking about looking into last night, the diamond clues .gif (the red spiral), it looks like it's a foveal optical illusion, so I was looking into an award winning japanese psychologist that specializes in optical illusions

idk if it's been mentioned or not, but

[unborn pilot]

i read "beautiful" list as in "everything there matters". Did he say anything specific about the numbers?

[hard current]

only that "something was missing" and I added the extra 6 for "evivi"

[full token]

I also interpreted "beautiful list" as in the total sum is a work of art, because imo, it is.

[unborn pilot]

i'm about to start taking screenshots of all eyeballs I find

[full token]

I can send you some lmao, I kind of started doing that.

[unborn pilot]

Please do @full token just DM me all of them. I'll combine and share.

[full token]

(the spirals move faster in your peripheral vision, and appear to slow down when you look directly at it. Could be a coincedence though or intended but not significant over what was found w/ steganographic techniques)

[hard current]

damnit it's gotta be in that list somewhere...

[unborn pilot]

i wouldn't disregard any of that. there's been 2 spiral shapes in images after "oval" was used and I say oval cause i think spiral = galaxy = orbit oval. also 4 of the recent images have backgrounds that are shifted (it's clearlly a circle, but there's a cut every 400 pixels and it's shifted up/down)

and in general a lot of the images have backgrounds you can't see normally (clouds, moire pattern, circles, etc)

[full token]

spirals are one thing i've definitely been keeping track of, any geometry, few other things

bug or lore hint/EE?

probably bug but who knows

i'm pretty well versed in the game and i don't think there's an item that produces that sound naturally

maybe he triggered an in-game EE on accident

because that sound to me sounds like noises used in previous DICE easter eggs

EE noises are always a bit "off" sounding if that makes any sense. hard to describe it

but it's to differentiate it from other in game sounds

[full token]

idk, interesting though.

[sharp flame]

Yep! The cacoiii tier

[timid solstice]

Yup sounds right! On their own it’s a dead end, but with the answer it makes sense 😅

And the 46 degrees !!

Damn he eyed degrees, tried to combine it but it never worked

#easter-eggs message

Does pp mean percentage points or something

[full token]

I was wondering what pp stood for in the file name

Keep going with this, can we get a mod to pin it please 📌

[full token]

hex color blend for gold + egg just in case, I checked it against the hex samples of the 2 ? imgs, but nothing. the cmyk values for eggshell being 0, 3, 11, 6 is a funny coincedence

[thorn junco]

Now I don't think it was a bug and I don't think it was a machine on the Skyway Stadium map, I heard that sound in one of my matches and it caught my attention because I had never heard anything like that in the game before. But I did not give it importance because I thought it would be some glitched sound and I see that no, it is exactly the same sound and it happened to me in Monaco.

[final shale]

whaaa that deep xDD

[daring bluff]

ooh, fascinating... they are similar but different. the one shroud got seems to be one continuous beep... you got 2 shorter ones

it's gotta mean something

it sounds too specific to be a bug

maybe there's a dedicated sound on seoul

if it's morse code, then we have an I (monaco) and an E (skyway)
unless the monaco one is actually A but it's hard to say

[thorn junco]

if you listen carefully in the Shroud clip there are also two as well

[daring bluff]

i thought that but after listening carefully i couldn't decide

so you might be right

i dunno it does sound kinda continuous, maybe I can measure how long each one lasts from beginning to end to see if they match up

[thorn junco]

I feel like I hear the same sound, the two beeps, only in the Shroud clip it just happens to coincide with someone from his squad talking at the same time

[daring bluff]

i felt like that too, but I feel like there isn't enough of an obvious gap for it to be different, so I'm definitely still torn.

you're probably right

[thorn junco]

I just looked at the two audios with a spectrogram and 100% they are the same sound, they have the exact same appearance, unfortunately I found nothing else apart from that the sound has a - - shape on the spectrogram

[coarse dagger]

Hmm, this raises a question... The upper left pixel in the same image was #1F6888...

Does 1F = Ca/Calcium somehow?

Got it

1F hex = 31 decimal

3rd letter of alphabet = C

1st letter of alphabet = a

[sharp flame]

😭

But what about the top left pixel was different

[coarse dagger]

It stands out

[sharp flame]

ahh

Send a screenshot pls

[coarse dagger]

We noticed it stood out at the time, but didn't figure out the meaning

[coarse dagger]

👇 to scale screenshot

👇 Blown up

It blue

[sharp flame]

Also which image? The 206888 pixel appeared in most of the images that tier iirc

[coarse dagger]

Wallpaper_CB_Up_We_Go...
The first one 😭

[coarse dagger]

The MD5 hash from Wallpaper_CB_Up_We_Go was also 206888, so I thought that was what we were starting from.
Just starting to document T1E now, so I'll see the other occurances soon enough

[pure loom]

The fact Rob 👀’d the combined word goldegg makes me think that we should be looking at how all the passwords can somehow combine to make a final answer. Like the numbers path we were working on earlier today or something similar.

Maybe goldegg is an acronym. Game Of Life Damn EZ GG

[hasty anvil]

ahh i see

[pure loom]

We already know that THE FINALS has some influence or at least similarities to THE MATRIX because it is a virtual game show. How do contestants connect? I don’t think we have any idea of that. If goldegg is related somehow we’re going to have to make some mental leap to get there.

https://tenor.com/view/fe-indiana-jones-gif-8631165

[hidden nacelle]

dont they connect via vr no?

[pure loom]

Which doesn’t really follow the stepwise methods we’ve been able to use to decipher parts of the puzzle. I would think we’d see something that hints at it already if it was a viable path.

[pure loom]

So they put on the goldegg?

[hasty anvil]

Noticed that this number '313.82.444.84.576.110.112.264.231.292.444.232' comes from the namatama concept image, in the title of the image it includes '0.1' might be relevant

0.1 in the title seems odd

[pure loom]

There is Morse between the numbers too, in case you hadn't spotted that. The set of numbers is repeated three times, but the Morse isn't - it goes right through all three sets.

this is the morse (it doesn't have any spaces which makes it very hard to decode/decipher)

[hasty anvil]

I just mean i haven't seen anyone point out the 0.1 haha

[pure loom]

close up of the Morse so you can see how Rob did it

[pure loom]

Maybe he was making the point to look at the "decimal points"?

[hasty anvil]

Gold passwords are atomic number, melting point and electron config (but for mendelevium)

sort of gold properties

Last tier all we needed was g=6, latin and gold/egg and we complicated it way too much haha

[snow walrus]

could "walk in the park" mean easy to find?
#easter-eggs message

he mentioned egg lamp as walk in the park after someone found

[hasty anvil]

never noticed walk in the park was also said in this

[snow walrus]

i use discord search all the time

[hidden nacelle]

pretty sure its just him saying that the ee back then was easier then now

[snow walrus]

yea i think so

because after that phrase he also mentions last level will be difficult
#easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

He could also be using 'walk in the park' to tell us to go back to this though #easter-eggs message

I forgot about the 8 clues that lead to the final tier of the promise

[snow walrus]

sum of all clues are 111

[hasty anvil]

latin is definitely one of the 8 clues

so we need 7 more

[hard current]

iirc those "golden clues" were more or less debunked as something useful

[hasty anvil]

yeah golden clues was, but there must be a reason as to why he said 8 clues for the final tier of Level 2

[snow walrus]

3 primary clues in Brown Eyed Girl are needed to solve

[hasty anvil]

'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.' maybe he just means 8 clues that lead to the final tier

Latin is present in all tiers, so this would be 1 of 8 clues

Gold and egg is maybe clues 2 and 3

g=6, e=3, o=0 maybe

he told us to look for themes

So I just noticed this about Mogok (မိုးကုတ်) as I read into the wiki a little more.
"90% of a certain version of the world's rubies come from Myanmar (Burma). There are many other ruby sources in the world such as Sri Lanka and various places in Africa. Only in terms of quality Mogok rubies are best. The red stones from there are prized for their purity and hue."

[snow walrus]

you mean?

[sonic mantle]

I just thought it was interesting that 90% of the worlds rubies come from Mogok.

But I don't know if it's even important to point out the details of Mogok anymore since Rob said it just points to RUBY.

[snow walrus]

mogok is still important in many ways
pigeon blood ruby and sunrise ruby are extracted from mogok
and also:
#easter-eggs message

[sonic mantle]

well, we have only seen clues related to the white and gold eggs. I haven't seen anything related to a brown egg so far.

So combining Rob's messages. he said " there are two types clues, first the clues that are linked to the password on the tier you are on Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary & Quinary clues... then the clues that are pointing to the final answer of the entire EE-hunt… Diamond, Gold, Silver and Bronze clues... there are actually some clues pointing to RUBY (for example R3C, 0.018, မိုးကုတ်)… but I don’t think anyone found any of these…"

This makes me think that the RUBY clue isn't even related to this tier's password.

We are only on the secondary tier. I'm wondering if the 'what is meatspace' 👀 is in regards to the password of the current tier we are on or if it's the other type of clue.

[hasty anvil]

'what is' questions were eyed 3 times, I think the what is is key

[snow walrus]

i doubt its absolutely anything but given the golden theme and the title "the promise" there's this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Promise, which is at least interesting. i dont follow the hunt much but genetic mutation is always interesting lol

Another idea, the space between the eggshell and yolk is called the albumen. Albus is latin for white.

Trying to figure out if the Telford Bridge coordinates/tapcode from Wallpaper_CB_Up_We_Go connects to the T1E password.
Here's the best I've got so far:

One day a youth expatiated to him in very large terms about a friend of his, who had done this and that, and made so and so, and could do all manner of wonderful things. Telford listened with great attention, and when the youth had done - he quietly asked, with a twinkle in his eye, "Pray, can your friend lay eggs?"
Source: https://electricscotland.com/history/men/telford21.htm

[sharp flame]

the Swedish Academy is at least "confirmed"

[coarse dagger]

I think I found it.
https://www.thenbs.com/PublicationIndex/documents?Pub=TT

Thomas Telford is the knowledge and publishing arm of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)

They've published Cement Chemistry: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Cement_Chemistry/1BOETtwi7mMC

So it's a tertiary clue

Telford Bridge (Tertiary) -> Thomas Telford (Secondary) -> ConcreteCement (Primary) -> Calcium Carbonate (Password)

[snow walrus]

Concrete?

[coarse dagger]

https://noahchemicals.com/blog/calcium-carbonate-caco3-in-the-concrete-industry-and-its-carbon-footprint-reduction/

[snow walrus]

Ohh its made of cacoiii alrighty

Sooo what is the answer 😂😂

[sharp flame]

I really don't think that was the main one though

ICE = ice seems more straightforward

[coarse dagger]

Actually it would be more accurate for me to say cement

[coarse dagger]

I don't follow

[sharp flame]

with the snow, ice, snowflake, iceberg, clues, it seems like that was it's own path

[coarse dagger]

Is this what you're thinking?

As water freezes, the dissolved minerals calcium and carbon solidify into tiny particles of calcium carbonate.

[sharp flame]

I'm just saying that it the "ice" part of ICE seemed like the clue

since there were so many clues relating to ice

[coarse dagger]

I think it's both TBH, Civil Engineering and cement go hand in hand.

[coarse dagger]

Honestly I think this was the connection from ice to calcium carbonate we overlooked in T1E.

[hard current]

those both make huge sense now looking back

@unborn pilot should mark these in the spreadsheet?;)

since we've been dealing with elements: elementum

[timid solstice]

That’s a good connection, and didn’t you mention concrete in the tier

#easter-eggs message

[coarse dagger]

Yeah I guess we didn't actually discuss it much during the tier, but in my mind cement/concrete -> CaCO3

For the longest time after T1E whenever cement/concrete/shell/pearl/Comet/stalagmite/stalactite/rock salt/marble/etc were mentioned I would turn to my SO wide-eyed and say "CALCIUM CARBONATE"

Really beautiful story, and the overarching theme is something i've been thinking about loosely. - I was looking at the Esse in that message. Esse = to be, or to exist in latin as a potential link to "NONDESISTASNONEXIERIS", the translation didn't make sense to me so it stuck out. I just don't know why yet

[full token]

That seems good, I vibe. Maybe there's something to do with the way bridges or constructed or their meaning? it's an introductary challenge i've seen given a lot to civil engineers in the first year, to teach you about the physics of structure, and importance of reinforcements, etc. - I was keeping my eye out for bridge references due to the Folly Bridge (.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folly_Bridge) from Alice in wonderland, and the nursery rhyme "London bridge is falling down"... I guess they used to play "bridge-related games" in the late middle ages according to (.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge_Is_Falling_Down) ? Haven't looked into it really yet, but it's on the list... {broke the embeds for chat clarity}

[unborn pilot]

randomly came across 2047 again. octal to decimal gives 1063 again.

[hasty anvil]

seems like another theme to me

[coarse dagger]

I just thought of a new potential numeric clue delivery system...
When Rob gives us image previews the coordinates of the preview could hide something.

So I made the preview image a smart object, and carefully scaled it down and positioned it to perfectly line up on the full image.

Upper left: X 1362, Y 925
Lower right: X 1530, Y 1159

Which makes the center: X 1446, Y 1042

Numbers 1530 and 1446 came up in discord search (#easter-eggs message and #easter-eggs message).

Nothing jumps out at me as clues, but just something to think about with the preview images.

[hardy surge]

You’re onto something here

[coarse dagger]

I don't think so, but it was a thought process I wanted to share

[hardy surge]

Well a big factor is all of their eggs are hidden within an image. So it makes sense to cross out X and Y on a certain pixel because that’s what they have been doing. I would look more into this

[pure loom]

Just a thought. But maybe we can only find the answer for this tier in-game.

[unborn pilot]

so is 404 gif with 325 on it really as simple as 404 - 325 = 79?

Rock you mentioned it a while back but it just clicked for me earlier. What's odd is that it appears after T1B.

[pure loom]

If you add them you get the melting point of Barium. No idea if that’s worth noting.

tbh if you watch that video and skim through the doc you'll catch yourself up pretty quick

[vapid yoke]

Ya imma watch the video im not the fastest reader in the world 😛

Ok im still super confused even after skimming through the document. Basiclly Rob drops EE for us to find and solve to figure out there meaning yes? And we are currently on the image Rob posted?

[snow walrus]

there is a tier system. Every tier has own clues that are hidden in images(mostly) and every tier leads us to the final:
https://www.reachthefinals.com/tfee-level2
Also clues have own system as well:
#easter-eggs message

for example this is Level2, we are at the last tier of Level2, we need the final answer to unlock Level3

[vapid yoke]

Cheers sorry im new to EE hunting so this is really new to me 😅

[hard current]

no worries feel free to ask as many questions as you want, I asked a ton at the start lmao

[snow walrus]

we need more help, kinda stuck

[vapid yoke]

Ill do my best to learn some of this stuff and see If I can help out

[vapid yoke]

Ah oki oki so we are looking for a password which is hidden somewhere

[snow walrus]

actual password is not hidden anywhere, there are clues hidden that points the password.
Check this page and tier subpages
https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Level_Two:_THE_PROMISE

[vapid yoke]

Ahhh I see from the last to tiers you guys did. The clues hinted towards the password being "gold" --> "6old" --> "viold" for example as its explained on the wiki

ok so now the logical step after reading most of this is that since T1A/B/C = T2ABC and T1D/E/F = T2DEF the hint for the password would be a combination of both. Which im assuming has happened

[snow walrus]

if you use = in the context of "related" yes

[vapid yoke]

O this is fun Imma have fun with this I already know it

[snow walrus]

have some time here and watch EE videos, you'll get it

[vapid yoke]

Well you can produce some pretty funky images if you overlay both of them. Thanks again for the intro!

[unique spruce]

can anyone explain why the spreadsheet has 0vif0rm with invalid numbers? why aren't we counting vi as 6 there?

[hard current]

look to the right, it should have another column that includes it I believe

[unique spruce]

ok it does. dont get why its that way but yea

might goldegg mean multiply gold (79 from 1B) * oviform (VI, M) from 1D?

[elder osprey]

might as well try it. I think since 2ABC and DEF are amalgamations of previous tiers, your selections are a little arbitrary.

[vapid yoke]

So I found 2 things while just messing around a 8 on one question mark and a face on the other. however I dont know how to add stuff on padlett xD

[hard current]

ooo, wanna send pics in here?

[snow walrus]

yea send it here first to show to people

[vapid yoke]

The first one looks like a face at the bottom and the other one seems to have a 8 in the top right. Was just messing around so far so its nothing major

First one is from the ques and the second from the tion one

[snow walrus]

@hard current u wanna answer?

[hard current]

that one on the left we found but think it’s just from compression and the lighting, the one on the right looks like jpg artifacts:)

we’ve done jpeg analysis, and these images are SUPER compressed, so we don’t think there’s anything hidden in the images this time around!

[vapid yoke]

Welp step by step learing 😄 thanks!

[hard current]

rn the current theory is it’ll be based off all of the passwords, rob keeps hinting at LATIN specifically

check this out

#easter-eggs message

[snow walrus]

it happens don't worry

i see numbers so many times

and tbh, maybe we’re all wrong and there is something hidden in those images, but it’s been analyzed to hell and back and nothing conclusive came of it

[formal moon]

https://youtube.com/shorts/7Uve21SOAPg?si=SJ7vgN_PJhwV2iF- rob been wild with the Easter egg

[river flame]

viviparous is the opposite of laying eggs

[pure loom]

Reflection has been a theme throughout much of the puzzle. What would be the opposite of gold though, if we applied the same path?

[river flame]

Silver?

I've been looking at the silver surfperch

Which is viviparous

[snow walrus]

bronze//copper

[pure loom]

To me any element or alloy would be an alternative rather than an opposite.

Maybe pyrite though - fool’s gold

There were some loose links to that in tier 1F

Yellowstone

The Latin is pyrites

[snow walrus]

i've run out of ideas -_-

[river flame]

Since it's just Tier 3 and not Tier 3abcdef, I think the answer will be inverse: a^-1

[pure loom]

I think the password actually has 3-f

Maybe we take the f answer away

No yolk?

[hasty anvil]

I also found interesting, E=3 is a reflection, g=6 is a rotation, 0=o is a compression

[pure loom]

Good thinking

[hasty anvil]

Not sure how that helps yet, but a common theme of numbers to letters tranformation

[pure loom]

The last one should be expansion though because we went from o to 0

[hasty anvil]

yeah definitely

but wasn't it like o=0=O or something? there were a few

[river flame]

3=iii translation

[hasty anvil]

i took E=3 from vit3llus

for latin theme then yeah its 3=iii

[pure loom]

Yeah, four of them altogether

[hasty anvil]

so maybe just points to compression/expansion

[formal moon]

Sulfur

[hasty anvil]

but, they're graph transformations mostly

[formal moon]

Aqua Regia

[hasty anvil]

There's 4 graph transformations. We have had reflection, rotation and expansion, the only one that's missing is translation (or in this case, numbers - latin)

[river flame]

No, we have 4: CACO3=CACOiii

Translation

[formal moon]

Eggshell ?

[ember aurora]

Anyone tried the cooking temperature of an egg?

[formal moon]

But that is suggestive Carl

There so many ways to cook a egg

[formal moon]

And transmutation ?

[elder osprey]

In alchemy, wouldn't the opposite of gold be lead? Pb 82

[hasty anvil]

Reflection (E=3), rotation (g=6), and expansion (o=0). what do you mean transmutation?

[formal moon]

Yes you can actually convert lead into gold but it requires a stupid amount of energy to achieve

[formal moon]

Just confuse

[formal moon]

But tungsten have almost the same mass and density of gold...

Cesium have also a similar color to gold.

[timid solstice]

would the area in the testing range be classed as a park...

it has trees, walkways, a bench..

[formal moon]

Or the only reason that they haven release is because we haven't finish this.... They are waiting on us
