[balmy fog]

doesn't look like a bad clue to me

thats why he won a nobel prize

the proof of reversing time

sounds to me like the path is really narrow, maybe y'all should focus more on that reversing egg man, he does have everything y'all looking for.

whats his name?

[hard forge]

who is this guy?

[rain comet]

he won ignobel prize

[balmy fog]

me?

[hard forge]

not you man. Ik you are a legend.

[balmy fog]

im far from it my brother!

[hard current]

well hang on yeah, it’s ignoble prize, it’s a parody of the nobel prize

[balmy fog]

what's his name

[rain comet]

Callum ormonde?

[civic hornet]

They didnt win a Nobel Prize, they won an Ig Nobel Prize

[balmy fog]

Hunters, Callum in latin is representative of : purity, peace, and the holy spirit.

Or = Gold in french

Monde = world in french

[velvet narwhal]

But we never got a real connection to the Ig Noble Prize, right?

[earnest wagon]

Hehe, I pop to the shop and come back to find Raston's egg feat is back on the menu - I feel truly sorry for ever bringing him up.

[hard forge]

we have LIGO too!!

[hard current]

???

[hard forge]

gravitational waves were eyed

[hard current]

oh yes

[hard forge]

binary systems

[balmy fog]

sometimes the answer is right in front of our eyes

[velvet narwhal]

thats probably why rob tells us to OYE Open your eyes

[hard forge]

this time, I know it is definitely in front of our eyes.

[balmy fog]

its a rince and repeat cycle, always been like that, the human brain loves to dig deep down, but the answer is probably extremely easy

i'd look into Callum Ormonde

He does have a latin name with gold and world in it.

[hard forge]

Rob also said something about geocache being relevant to this tier. iirc

[severe zealot]

mayby a golden egg in rome somewhere?

[weary gyro]

[hard forge]

why Rome?

what clues to back it up?

[balmy fog]

too deep

[hard current]

we have to draw on what we know fellas

[weary gyro]

isn't it funny that there is a roman namatama emoji?

[balmy fog]

its Byzantine Empire emoji

[hard forge]

'what you knew before the game launched'

[weary gyro]

that's what the emoji is called

[hard current]

yes and combine that with what would have become more obvious in #1198659083587297350

[balmy fog]

not roman

[acoustic canyon]

Be careful when looking into Callum ormonde. There's a character in a book named Callum ormond who takes up a lot of the Google search results

[hard forge]

this ✅

[severe zealot]

the civic crown on the VVV image with all the gold and previus anwers tieing in with romeral numerals

[restive compass]

have we looked into the World Egg?

[severe zealot]

sorry for bad english

[civic hornet]

Byzantine Empire is a given name some 200 hundred years after its collapse. In its time the Byzantine empire was known as the Eastern Roman Empire

[hard forge]

yes...search up with discord search and see what we have discovered

[balmy fog]

yes i personally did

[civic hornet]

so yes it is Roman

[lament juniper]

What about Aesop? Didn’t he write the story about the golden egg? could that just be an EE?

[hard forge]

discussed heavily

[restive compass]

Check out the Padlet for T3 its an early link on the tree

[eternal violet]

im in the anser (goose) camp, literally ties everything together

[hard current]

hey I’ve been thinking about it too, like what @balmy fog said, with everything leading to a bang (see dynamite from alfred nobel, the collisions of neutron stars) and the inclusion of ab ovo that was seen in #1185727960980922488 but we also know it appears in #1198659083587297350

ab ovo = the beginning, the origin, the egg, so I think investigation into the big bang might hold weight

@hard forge @earnest wagon

[lament juniper]

thanks, still new

[hard forge]

again, mentioned already more than 50 times.

[hard forge]

wiki and padlet and Rockhhoundblack's videos

[eternal violet]

i know, i just think we need to bring things back

[restive compass]

if you want to get caught up pretty good watch some updates from RockHoundBlack on youtube mainly the 1F, 2ABC/DEF and 1E vids for a good grasp

[gloomy anvil]

I was so committed to this theory haha then Rob said it wasn't eye-worthy

still, "a lot of good work" apparently

god damnit, rip my hours wasted typing different goose + gold + eggs combinations

[hard forge]

we have a list of tried passwords in the threads

Guys, the password is obviously password123

[civic hornet]

"Ab ovo usque ad mala." That phrase translates as "from the egg to the apples," and it was penned by the Roman poet Horace. Has anyone researched Horace or interrogated the other half of the sentence? "usque ad mala"

[hard current]

remember what we have so far.. I don’t believe it would go that far, especially because we have nothing linking to apples

I could be wrong, but that’s my current thinking:))

[opaque thistle]

I mean that could be the link to apples if there's enough support under it

[civic hornet]

maybe theres a further link that could confirm ab ovo?

[crystal salmon]

Have we found any more white rabbits?

[velvet narwhal]

Still have only found 3

[crystal salmon]

Anybody actively looking? Just got the arena now

I’ve been snowboarding for the first time 🏂 taking a little break

[rotund elbow]

I went skiing for the first time last year, this winter i'm gonna try snowboarding for the first time

[opaque thistle]

oH MY GOD

[opaque thistle]

wait... snowboarding?

[hasty anvil]

I’ll take it to off topic haha

It seems recent leads have been related to creation, beginnings, discoveries and inventions hmm

[lament juniper]

really quick (kinda on topic w/ EE) since I’m hopping on for a few hours does the walls hacks mean any map under construction?

[crystal salmon]

Currently shooting all the ceiling lights in the hospital to check for rabbits

[teal quiver]

Why it call the finals when we still at the firsts

[hasty anvil]

We’ve collectively been searching every corner in the hospital for a while now, I’m starting to think it’s in a repeated area

The Big Bang has a lot of this tiers connections, with a big bang model winning a Nobel prize in physics in 1978

Penzias (worked at bell labs) and Robert Wilson were the first to find landmark evidence of the Big Bang through cosmic microwave background (CMB) (sorry if someone’s found this, discord mobile won’t let me use search function -_-)

Also the two questions marks could be the 2 theories of the beginning of the universe. The black background and gold being the Big Bang, the white being gods creation

[hard forge]

everything came via the big bang ultimately. I looked it up, Gold on the earth crust is thought to came from an asteroid (asteroid origin Theory)

• vredefort impact structure 2.020 billion years ago

[crystal salmon]

Is there anything we know we're looking for on skyway?

[hard forge]

look up Witwatersrand gold rush

[hasty anvil]

Gold question mark in black background symbolises the Big Bang in space. White question mark symbolises egg, heaven, birth, maybe gods creation

[hasty anvil]

No leads so far

[turbid tinsel]

There's letters all around the question mark after you merge them

[severe zealot]

so what does paul klee have to do with all this?

[hasty anvil]

Ohhh recent discovery?

[hard forge]

you tell me.

[severe zealot]

so no connection has been found yet

[sharp flame]

Only that he made paintings of Egg and Chicken

which was 👀'd by Rob

[hasty anvil]

Unanswerable questions maybe? What came first the chicken or the egg? The Big Bang?

[sharp flame]

cubism.. maybe we get a cube nama next??

[turbid tinsel]

yea, you gotta use the same method rob did for the nama image. its still a work in progress, but im almost certain that theres more in the nama image as well other than what rob gave us

[hasty anvil]

Just goes to the finals webpage I think

[civic hornet]

From Hindu scripture

Hiranyagarbha, हिरण्यगर्भः, literally translates to the Golden Egg, which is poetically translated as the Universal Egg. It was first mentioned in the Rig Veda explaining the origins of the universe from the cosmic egg. It is the manifested cosmos in Vedic Philosophy.

[silk bolt]

saw it before but yeay that's what's going on😂😂

[hard forge]

same thing copy pasted before

[civic hornet]

ahhh nvm then

[gloomy anvil]

Ab Ovo - Latin for "from the beginning, the origin, the egg"

[silk bolt]

they all link to the finals webpage

[crystal salmon]

Ah ok

[pallid rock]

hello contestants

whats cracking today

[hard forge]

[silk bolt]

so the egg came first

[sharp flame]

I think I may have found a few things

[gloomy anvil]

Rob wouldn't link us to Paul Klee just for an egg reference. Its whole meaning might be more important, "from the beginning, the origin, the egg" - I'm thinking we need to put Gold within this context

[hearty meteor]

the flower pattern on the trash bins in the PR and the candle holders in the cathedral are similar (from @hot rock )

some schizo copper connections: copper is a metal that both appears in eggs and in nobel medals AND is a noble metal. copper's atomic number is 29 (link to 2029), and lunar eclipses are often described as copper colored (june 2029 lunar eclipse link). coppers atomic weight is 63.5 (ques/tion.jpg image height is 635px)

[lapis moat]

isn't the mf supposed to be uncooked. there should be goo going everywhere right

[pallid rock]

i mean isnt copper in a lot of things? i may be wrong

[trim estuary]

omg that's an egg

[eternal violet]

sure, but theres more connections

[trim estuary]

in sexual angle?

[pallid rock]

nama tama translates to raw egg

[lapis moat]

he looks cooked and whiteless there

[sharp flame]

3 dawns could refer to a lot of things. One theory is this location in Las Vegas

[gloomy anvil]

nobel medal - noble metal - nobel medal - noble metal

[austere palm]

It's on vegas

[lapis moat]

Rutile's one of the CEOs

[sharp flame]

probably on different maps.. probably on shudders Vegas

[acoustic canyon]

copper gold alloy is rose gold im going insane with the amount of different ee's

[pallid rock]

i mean beyond the walls could mean that concert

[sharp flame]

I wouldn't consider Rose a main thread in the Hunt/Password

[pallid rock]

rose gold , white gold everything is discussed already. you are welcomed to connect the dots. And I feel ya

[silk bolt]

vegas is just the most ass map there's no where to go behind it or buildings like seoul

[austere palm]

I agree roses might lead to something different they don't seem to apply to unlocking t3

[hard current]

we can’t confirm this at all, it’s not safe to assume

[velvet narwhal]

rob has confirmed that the roses arent part of the main hunt

[hard current]

hehe.. the easter eggs are probably all connected in some way but we won’t figure that out yet, for now it’d likely be best to focus efforts on the tier

[hard forge]

I am surprised that someone else noticed this.

roses are definitely important just not to this tier

Big Bang = Fragor Magnus

[balmy fog]

i dont think its big bang in latin

everything links up to space, other than the egg part of it, but, the question is what came from, the egg or the chicken, but actually, if there's no big bang, there's none of them. Big bang ''created'' life as we know, hence creating eggs, chickens, etc.

it gave us gold too

The Big Bang is a physical theory that describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of high density and temperature.[1] It was first proposed in 1927 by Roman Catholic priest and physicist Georges Lemaître → wiich oddly links to catholics again but meh

Go Padlet.com/kyne they’re all there

[nocturne sphinx]

A lot of things are pointing to the elixir of life which was considered the Magnum Opus of Alchemists (philosopher's stone, hermes' egg, etc). eggs symbolize creation of life “the fertilized egg… lives indefinitely, in as much as it gives rise, not only to a new individual, but, theoretically at least, to an endless series of generations”-physiologist Jacques Loeb (1913)-- gold plays a huge part in alchemy and creation and symbolized the sun in many ways---stellar nucleosynthesis is cosmic transmutations and plays into the idea that we are all created from the stars

[balmy fog]

''In either case, "the Big Bang" as an event is also colloquially referred to as the "birth" of our universe''

[balmy fog]

he Big Bang models developed from observations of the structure of the universe and from theoretical considerations. In 1912, Vesto Slipher measured the first Doppler shift of a "spiral nebula" (spiral nebula is the obsolete term for spiral galaxies)

[opaque thistle]

Lemaître also proposed the "Big Bang theory" of the origin of the universe, calling it the "hypothesis of the primeval atom",[9] and later calling it "the beginning of the world".[10]

Big text wall incoming

English astronomer Fred Hoyle is credited with coining the term "Big Bang" during a talk for a March 1949 BBC Radio broadcast
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang#Etymology

Hoyle was also at the centre of two unrelated controversies involving the politics for selecting the winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics. The first came when the 1974 prize went, in part, to Antony Hewish for his leading role in the discovery of pulsars. Promptly Hoyle made an off-the-cuff remark to a reporter in Montreal that "Yes, Jocelyn Bell was the actual discoverer, not Hewish, who was her supervisor, so she should have been included." This remark received widespread international coverage. Worried about being misunderstood, Hoyle carefully[48] composed a letter of explanation to The Times.[23]

The 1983 prize went in part to William Alfred Fowler "for his theoretical and experimental studies of the nuclear reactions of importance in the formation of the chemical elements in the universe." despite Hoyle having been the inventor of the theory of nucleosynthesis in the stars with two research papers[49] published shortly after WWII. So some suspicion arose that Hoyle was denied the third share of this prize because of his earlier public disagreement with the 1974 award.

[uneven nest]

just joined this can somone explae wahts going on here and what yall found

[civic hornet]

When I get a bit of time Im going to try researching the Moon flashes more but so far this is what Ive got.

So far I have determined that there is 4 levels of brightness to the flashes which include:

-No Light
-Low Light
-Medium Light
-Bright Light

Will need a video of the moon on every map from the same angle and start time in the match (preferably the entire match) in order to line up and sync up each flash correctly

If possible we will also need two videos of the moon on the same map but separate matches to determine whether the pattern is fixed.
If in two different matches on the same map the lights do not line up then we have a problem.

I thought I had determined a pattern with the length of time each flash was present for but so far no luck.

all your resources

[restive compass]

Might need to watch the EE playlist from Rockhound and look at the Tree to get a solid grasp

[kind patio]

Right, if custom games ever come out its be easier but it still could be possible to do, if really hard

[restive compass]

Someone keep us posted on the Magnus research i am at work rn, but I think that means a lot

[civic hornet]

Custom games would be a god send, so far I cant tell if the pattern repeats and if so, how long the pattern is before repeating which makes things difficult

[kind patio]

yeah, maybe it could be something to do with the moon? I saw somone point out that the craters near it are named after some sceintists, ill link the vid where he talks about it

I dont have too much time in the evenings this week else Id record the Moon and try get best line ups. Would anyone else be able to attempt it?

[kind patio]

Would increasing the contrast of an image be in violation of like the 'egg hunt ettiqute' in the egg hunt info channel, cause they said no photo manipulation and stuff

there is zero pie

[kind patio]

oh yeah

I kinda see it

[crimson herald]

if you up contrast its very visible

[hearty meteor]

or its a mirrored seven

[kind patio]

but he way it kinda curvers kinda looks more like pi, and what about the number on the left? or is thsat just a shadow? is it a 6?

[austere palm]

Looks like pi

[queen hornet]

doesn’t really look like pi

[eternal violet]

yea, thats a weird pi

[kind patio]

So its either 2 reversed 7's or pi

no not one bit, feel free to do whatever you can to an image to reveal information

[kind patio]

Alrighty thanks :)

[civic hornet]

Can anyone think of a morse code that has four inputs?

Cant find anything online

[kind patio]

Like a phrase like SOS or something?

[proper kindle]

Shot in the dark here but could the flashing be Morse code at all?

[civic hornet]

There are four inputs so no

[proper kindle]

Oh nvm lol bro just said that 💀

[civic hornet]

unless this is a limitation of the implementation of the flashes

[nocturne marten]

Has anyone looked into the Cosmic Egg stories at all?

[civic hornet]

there is low light, medium light. bright light and no light

[nocturne marten]

It would tie together mythology, gold, and astronomy

[earnest wagon]

What clue lead to Georges Lemaître?

[kind patio]

Could it be a different code then maybe? like not morse maybe a different system?

[unborn pilot]

I think you’re misunderstanding. 99% of the clues are found with image manipulation

[kind patio]

Alright, thanks for saying lol

[civic hornet]

Thats what Im trying to figure out but so far no luck

[kind patio]

The only thing thats come up for me is this but I dont think its relative https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/security/flash-encryption.html#:~:text=The flash encryption algorithm is,from the flash encryption key.

Yeah nah just read further, its not flahsing lights its like the software flash

[tough plume]

i saw that too

[civic hornet]

haha no worries, thanks for looking

[kind patio]

I might look into who came up with this Kinda on the same ideas of space and stuff, could the flashing on the moon be these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_lunar_phenomenon#:~:text=A transient lunar phenomenon (TLP,Lunar%20Events%2C%20published%20in%201968.

[civic hornet]

worth looking into

[kind patio]

It says: ''''A transient lunar phenomenon (TLP) or lunar transient phenomenon (LTP) is a short-lived change in light, color or appearance on the surface of the Moon. The term was created by Patrick Moore in his co-authorship of NASA Technical Report R-277 Chronological Catalog of Reported Lunar Events, published in 1968.'''''' the main intresting thing i see is the double 7's

[civic hornet]

Example of the different levels of light of the flashes, note that these flashes dont appear in a set order ( none, low, medium, bright, medium, low, none) and can appear in any order. This means that medium and light are not stages to a full bright if that makes sense

So if this is a code it will have to be one with 4 seperate inputs that can then be deciphered

morse code for example has three (dot, dash, none)

[unkempt dune]

So people talk about the moon flashing, but what about the building across from the moon flashing too? Tbh, seems like the flashes are just bloom (https://imgur.com/a/i0WttJz)

[hard current]

neutron star mergers can cause the r-process which is what creates the heavy metals, like gold

[slate dagger]

you can remove bloom by setting post processing quality to low in settings

or effects, i dont remember

[hard current]

"While nuclear fusion within the Sun makes many elements, the Sun cannot synthesize gold. The considerable energy required to make gold only occurs when stars explode in a supernova or when neutron stars collide. Under these extreme conditions, heavy elements form via the rapid neutron-capture process or r-process."

[severe zealot]

im learning more here than in class

[slate dagger]

so if the moon is really flashing, that setting shouldn't affect the moon flash

[hard current]

I know that alchemy and transmutation has come up before:
Japanese physicist Hantaro Nagaoka first synthesized gold by bombarding mercury with neutrons in 1924. While transmuting mercury into gold is easiest, gold can be made from other elements—even lead! Soviet scientists accidentally turned the lead shielding of a nuclear reactor into gold in 1972 and Glenn Seabord transmuted a trace of gold from lead in 1980.

you don't add protons to get to gold from lead, you add neutrons

neutron stars, neutrons are needed to transform things into gold... hm

[civic hornet]

Can someone test without bloom?

[austere palm]

Neutral, neutron, 0

[kind patio]

Have one of the devs done the 👀 emoji to any of the moon theories?

[unkempt dune]

nope

[kind patio]

Could be bloom then :/ but it seems like it lines up with the themes of space/astronomy so far

[hard current]

Sherr, Bainbridge, and Anderson created gold in 1941 by shooting neutrons at mercury. The neutrons were generated by a series of nuclear reactions that were kick-started by the Harvard cyclotron particle accelerator.

[civic hornet]

The following is 15 frames of moon flashes

None = N
Light = L
Medium = M
Bright = B

N, M, L, B, M, B, N, B, M, B, N, L, N, M, L

[hard current]

it's definitely flashing, there's a video rhb has somewhere in the discord of it

[unkempt dune]

not saying there's no flashing

[civic hornet]

Not sure howd you go about deciphering it especially without first figuring our which code its in

[kind patio]

Alright, so its probably good then. I gtg but I think maybe Ill look into codes with 4 inputs

good luck everyone :)

[silent plover]

The number 622 is the most perplexing piece here. “622” by itself does not yield any seemingly significant search results, so it seems like it needs to be broken apart or used as some sort of key to other clues.

[plush magnet]

Predicting the next EE is a nuke, also considering the recent hazmat skin and you need elements to synthesize a nuke

[nocturne marten]

Is June 22 significant 6/22?

[severe zealot]

Where does 622 come from?

[unkempt dune]

doesn't look like bloom can be disabled

[silent plover]

622 came from the roulette Lewis gun skin, and more recently from a comment on one of Rockhoundblack’s videos

[earnest wagon]

The roulette skin for the Lewis Gun has numbers that don't add up properly.

The numbers on a roulette wheel should add up to 666 but there's some missing, making it just 622 instead.

Rob has recently left a clue that points at the number 622 and the difference between that and 666 (44) as being important.

[acoustic canyon]

Please... Don't make me go back

[unkempt dune]

The flashing on the building does look different from the flashing on the moon. The most notable difference is that the moon's flashing has a resizing fade-out while the building's flashing instantly disappears. This could mean the building's flashing is bloom, but not the moon.

[earnest wagon]

Does anyone know if the number 80 come up at all, or the Roman Numerals LXXX?

I'm working on a theory.

hey @earnest wagon
On March 5, 1979, a few months after the successful dropping of Landers into the atmosphere of Venus, the two uncrewed Soviet spaceprobes Venera 11 and 12, then in heliocentric orbit, were hit by a blast of gamma radiation at approximately 10:51 EST. This contact raised the radiation readings on both the probes from a normal 100 counts per second to over 200,000 counts a second in only a fraction of a millisecond.

This seems super important almost like a "gold egg" of an era. There are so many good theories here and things to follow idk where to start lol

Does anyone know info on the first pulsar/neutron star that started the big bang ?

[hard current]

I'm kinda digging for any way forward rn... we know nobel prize ties into it to likely, but it could also be a secondary clue pointing to gravitational waves pointing to a primary clue of neutron star mergers/kilonovae, it's all related somehow...

[restive compass]

was there a nobel prize for the big bang theory?

I don't think he has a moustache, which is the only thing stopping him from twirling it.

[hard current]

I keep coming back to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW170817

the first neutron star merger recorded, that can create gold, ab ovo, the beginning of gold

but then we get into, why the need to clue for northern lights? are we looking for something in the north perhaps, a merger that occured in the northern sky? are we looking for magnetars with a strong magnetic field that results from a merger?

[earnest wagon]

I do like that link, but I haven't seen it ever get eyes (kinda disappointing).

whats the point of solving the puzzle if youre just going to brute force the password?

[earnest wagon]

I may have something else, the pieces are still falling (or being mercilessly jammed) into place - but here's my thoughts so far:

I have bunches of links to gravitational wave astronomy and cosmic microwave background

The study of those is largely linked with providing evidence for (among other things) Cosmic Inflation, the rapid expanse of the universe following the Big Bang - which is in turn linked to a bunch of other things (I have it linked to Ab Ovo for instance).

This also pulls in Redshift, something used in prior tiers.

In 2006 (the same year that George Smoot was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics) the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, helped establish the **Lambda-CDM Model **(working on possible links to this still), providing further evidence of what the universe is comprised of, how it's expanding, and what shape it is.

That is... egg-shaped.

[bitter yacht]

just brainstorming

this is a poor example and and and hard to bring out. but there is stuff in here. ive been messing around for hours, the 2nd pic there sorta more visible but there is stiff all around the edges for sure

when is SR normally online?

[merry ocean]

From the original image. When the colors get crunched

[hard current]

anytime between ~2am EST and 8-9PM EST with some irregularities

i find it interesting that for both egg and gold there was an answer involving - geometry/shape, element info, and liquid form

The 5f137s2 connection to gold seems like a stretch to me. All the other answers are very obviously related to gold/egg but that one is so obscure

[earnest wagon]

My research today has been on the shape of the universe, it's changing form and how we've (the collective human 'we' - I didn't lift a finger) has determined what we know.

Nope - It's frustrating.

[balmy fog]

you are pretty new, all we used to talk about months ago was gold

[nocturne sphinx]

There are a lot of chemistry themes here so orbital configuration isnt so far-fetched. Going back to Magnum Opus, Magnum is usually symbolized by gold and Opus is a creation of work, which can be brought back to egg.

Also ? is 00111111 in binary 77 in octal.

[pure loom]

So the 622 and 47 from Rob’s comment are both related to the Lewis

[earnest wagon]

47? I got 44.

[hard forge]

this should be on the padlet guys

Au atomic mass is 196.96657

ASCII character 197 is Å which sounds "Au" in Swedish.

[earnest wagon]

Yeah, I think he's pointing to the fact that the difference between 622 and 666 is exactly what we should be looking at.

Xenon also seems important, but possibly unrelated to that particular mystery.

This coincidence is at least a little funny. Lewis Hall, Physics 622

[nocturne sphinx]

Gilbert Newton Lewis ForMemRS[1] (October 23[2][3][4] or October 25, 1875 – March 23, 1946)[1][5][6] was an American physical chemist and a dean of the college of chemistry at University of California, Berkeley.[3][7] Lewis was best known for his discovery of the covalent bond and his concept of electron pairs; his Lewis dot structures and other contributions to valence bond theory have shaped modern theories of chemical bonding. Lewis successfully contributed to chemical thermodynamics, photochemistry, and isotope separation, and is also known for his concept of acids and bases.[8] Lewis also researched on relativity and quantum physics, and in 1926 he coined the term "photon" for the smallest unit of radiant energy.[9][10]

[alpine junco]

xenon = nexon

[opaque thistle]

aYO WHAT THE FUCK

[earnest wagon]

Ooh, that's good.

[lofty temple]

Tbh I think we need to focus on the 3 things that were incorporated into the most recent picture, and what they have in common.

Jocelyn Bell, Ligo 17, and Paul Kell.

The first two are easy. LIGO 17 utilized Jocelyn Bell's work on locating neutrons stars to witness an event where two neutron stars collided and detected gravitational waves for the first time. There's a lot in common there

LIGO won the novel prize, Bell never did.

It gets weird when we try and incorporate the painter Klee.

The only thing I have found that all 3 had in common would incorporate a quote from Klee - " Art does not reproduce the visible; rather it makes visible"

So all three had making things visible that were previously invisible, common,I n a sense. Jocelyn Bell was the first person to locate a neutron star - making it visible LIGO was the first to find gravitational waves - visualizing them when two neutron stars collided.
Paul Klee believes art's main purpose is to make invisible things visible - reveal things.

Idk might be a stretch.

[hard forge]

good job.

[pure loom]

No, I meant this: #easter-eggs message these add up to 47

[silent plover]

Yeah this seems worth recreating. Were we supposed to steal a spotlight and bring it to the X?

[earnest wagon]

Oh I see! I took the first letters of all the caps, transformed them to Roman Numerals and got 622.

[opaque thistle]

MHM

[worn flame]

we need someone on this ASAP

[pure loom]

Yes, it’s both. Rob is famous for double clues

[opaque thistle]

I still don't know what to get out of senjahopen

[rain comet]

if we substract 256(11111111 in binary) from 622, we get 366 = egg.

U+2047 ⁇ DOUBLE QUESTION MARK

[austere palm]

This is important

But idk if it's ee or lore

[gloomy anvil]

We know Klee connects to his 1917 painting "Ab Ovo" - meaning "from the beginning, the origin, the egg" since Rob eyed it.

[alpine junco]

(??) is an operator known as the nullish coalescing operator. a logical operator that returns its right-hand side operand when its left-hand side operand is null or undefined , and otherwise returns its left-hand side operand.

[worn flame]

Also rob did say we need to go back to the beginning. Maybe something int he first key art of Namatama? (Although i think weve exhausted that already)

[polar shadow]

I believe Rob said there were no previous hints hiding in the namatama pictures

[silent plover]

Is anyone here available to check out the map using a spotlight in the Steal the Spotlight event?

[worn flame]

OH great! good to know!

[alpine junco]

U+2047 ⁇ DOUBLE QUESTION MARK

(??) is an operator known as the nullish coalescing operator. a logical operator that returns its right-hand side operand when its left-hand side operand is null or undefined , and otherwise returns its left-hand side operand.

The name "Elvis operator" refers to the fact that when its common notation, ?:, is viewed sideways, it resembles an emoticon of Elvis Presley with his signature hairstyle.[1]

A similar operator is the null coalescing operator, where the boolean truth check is replaced with a check for non-null instead. This is usually written ??, and can be seen in languages like C#.[2]

[gloomy anvil]

I'm totally late to this but good spot. Just summarizing for myself: DCXXII = 622, April 4 = 44, 622 + 44 = 666, same calculation as the roulette wheel which was included in the video Rob commented on.

Xe is a noble gas
Au is a noble metal

[pure loom]

And if we add up the number of capital letters in his comment we get 47

[earnest wagon]

I thought perhaps the difference was maybe something special, but it's not an easy divisible.

[hard forge]

links to Nobel

[alpine junco]

In a language that supports the Elvis operator, something like this:

x = f() ?: g()
will set x equal to the result of f() if that result is a true value, and to the result of g() otherwise.

It is equivalent to this example, using the conditional ternary operator:

x = f() ? f() : g()
except that it does not evaluate the f() twice if it is true.

[queen hornet]

is this replicable?

[unkempt dune]

haven't been able to do it a second time

47 is the atomic number of silver

[nocturne sphinx]

Synthesis of noble metals refers to the realization of the age-old dream of alchemists—to artificially produce noble metals. The goal of this could be to achieve greater economic gain when compared to traditional methods of obtaining noble metals. Synthesis of noble metals is only possible with methods of nuclear physics, either using nuclear reactors or by particle accelerators. Particle accelerators require huge amounts of energy, while nuclear reactors produce energy, so only production methods utilizing a nuclear reactor are of economic interest.

The Finals is a VR game where contestants’ vitals are being monitored (mentioned in the skeleton skin pack) so it could make sense that this VR game is actually tapped into the players Central Nervous System, specifically reading brainwaves from the egg shaped Thalamus which controls all motor and sensory information.

I think it is reactive to what is happening in the game. I think when you shoot it does the shooting one. Or is that not the one im thinking of

[sly coral]

no i am looking in the equipment page

[vague flume]

Spectrograms/wavefroms from videos/gifs/audio files

[sly coral]

it blinks in a set sequence and always ends with "burning dead and revived"

it does this three times and after the third "burn dead revive" it keeps repeating the third sequence before that

[earnest wagon]

Ideally I think in hindsight, threads:

• Per Map (inc Practice)
• Per Cosmetic Drop
• Per official lore video
• Sponsors / Characters
• Namatamas (by date and name)

Would have been helpful.

[sly coral]

so the sequences are only unique for two "burning, dead, and revived" and then reverts to being the exact same every time

i think we need a palindrome using the password for gold and egg and maybe others, that when a line is split through them it shows the same top and bottom as well as forward and backward

[polar shadow]

Has anyone looked at the example picture in the egg-hunt-info channel? It has a lot of clues one is the universal avian egg formula, the charm on the gun is egg shaped and has an x on it. Maybe that is the link to Paul Klee and his painting ab ovo (from the beginning)?

[tender sage]

?

[timid solstice]

yep check the padlets mentioned in that channel

[kind patio]

Im just back, did we figure out the moon flashes or is that still a work in progress?

[turbid tinsel]

rob gave us CCLXIX, splitting it and mirroring it would vivi on the top and bottom but not sure what the equivelant on the opposite sides would be

[kind patio]

I assume these are like roman numerals right?

[turbid tinsel]

correct but i think the hint may have been more towards the XIXI

[kind patio]

why do we ignore the CCL? sorry just back lol

[turbid tinsel]

but LX almost forms a D if you look at it

i think the password itself will almost look like steganography

a password within a password, maybe 3 times

[kind patio]

Yeah most likley

did we ever figure out the moon flashes?

[alpine junco]

what if we did it as 10010050109

[keen reef]

mirroring something shouldn't ne to double it?

[silent plover]

I think the 269 thing was just related to the Saint Valentine thread. It seems safe to assume they have a patch scheduled for February 14th, Valentine’s Day.

[keen reef]

yup, is there the thread around?

[alpine junco]

got this from the roman numerals

[keen reef]

I read it, Flex, Midas used the satyr and Apollo got angry. Apollo gave Midas Donkey/Horse ears as punishment. There's another king witjh donkey/horse ears that killed every barber in his castle (to keep the secret): King Markus of Cornwall. Markus of Cornwall was the third lover in the Tristan and Iseult romance (the one which Shakespeare took references from to create Romeo and Juliet)

Gold has to connect to something to do with midas

[quaint stream]

Ab ovo has an opposite being Medias Res?

[umbral shell]

I put the Roman numerals in and got coordinates

[keen reef]

The whole Easter egg of this game is about Shakespeare

[quaint stream]

Hamlet is Medias Res

Back to the 👀 hints we’ve gotten.

Binary stars in the night sky that are seen as a single object to the naked eye are often resolved using a telescope as separate stars, in which case they are called visual binaries.

This description seems very pertinent to the “ques” “tion” pictures we have.

Should we be thinking of a pair of answers, or should our takeaway be more focused on the answer being specifically related to binary?

Interpretations that combine both would be a bitmask applied to a binary string, or binary masking applied to a pair of pictures.

ah alright

[turbid tinsel]

noticed some marking in a shot from @solar glade's video on the croud. Is that supposed to be part of Klee's signature?

[quaint stream]

Xenon and Xylophone being Xenophon???

[gloomy anvil]

The first time Klee was hidden was vvv.png, so no

Speaking of stars/night sky, did we ever work out the moon flashing?

[worn flame]

[inner heart]
