easter-eggs

[fresh quiver]

a pixel isnt a image

but it seems to be up to date atleast with the eyes

[hasty anvil]

I didn’t know a pixel could share different colours lol

[velvet narwhal]

its 2x2 so its 4 pixel

[wanton horizon]

I was supposed to be asleep 5 hours ago.... this server will be the end of me

[quaint stream]

Gamma Ray Skys look like an egg?

[velvet narwhal]

left is 0,0,255 right is 255,0,0

[fresh quiver]

anyone ever tried to just simple mirror latin? to nital?

Nital is a solution of nitric acid and alcohol commonly used for etching of metals.

[eternal violet]

maybe rob is telling us to do something with blue or red bit planes?

[quaint stream]

Isn't red and blue heat death of things in space also

[hasty anvil]

Magnet maybe? But definitely mirror

[crystal salmon]

This was related to the white rabbits, was it not?

[fresh quiver]

north and south

[earnest wagon]

Interesting idea, I'll have to check but I don't beleive it was used to etch the Nobel prizes. There's a video out there showing the process.

[velvet narwhal]

yeah he replied to a message about WRs

[fresh quiver]

didnt rob mentioned east and west?
what if he means the directions

[hasty anvil]

Where was this?

[crystal salmon]

link pls

[fresh quiver]

dont ever think it was "just" connected to the WRs. It can also be connected to the main Easter Egg hunt.

"there are no concidences"

[earnest wagon]

I think I know what this is!

[fresh quiver]

he mentioned it 2 times on the same date.

I also want to repost this #easter-eggs message

The location is the childhood home of Samuel Barber.

Rob answered to a question about his current location.

[shadow vapor]

I see you cookin' @earnest wagon

[pulsar mason]

The talk about mirrors has me considering Orphism, often associated with gold eggs mirror beliefs and Latin mythology

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphism_(religion)

[earnest wagon]

I have a whole thread on navigation - both celestial and at sea. His earlier clues pointed towards it a lot and I linked it with Urania's Mirror: https://padlet.com/suitablyodd/tfee-tier-3-ywpaq697vit7rc6s/wish/2863798786
Look to the top right of that post and you'll see some of his comments have a very nautical/navigation theme to them.

• Boats have lights on the bow (like aircraft) with two colours, often green and red - allowing other vessels to see which way the boat is facing.
• The lights are red and green (port and starboard), but they used to be red and blue (before 1960).
• Annoyingly I thought the colours were the right way around, but they could just be mirrored.

[ancient mist]

HAARP=High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program

[shadow vapor]

There's a passage about Phanes being the creator of daylight that stood out to me in the orphic egg.

[crystal salmon]

Think that's just a scandinavian thing, honestly. That's one of the ways we refer to each others countries.

Denmark = South, Norway = West, Finland = East

[quaint stream]

Is the date stuff related to shuttle launches maybe? The Voyager specifically

[earnest wagon]

Good spot, and the HARP clue in the NYT Crossword is one of two answers that would directly link to the timestap of the clues given in QUES+TION

[earnest wagon]

The other is '25 - Gold rush town once called Anvil City : NOME'

[fresh quiver]

That color mirroring just gave me an idea.
Do we need to invert ques and tion that in the end both of the questionmarks need to be white to be overlayed?

[shadow vapor]

Nome Alaska?

The aurora borealis is prominent there, right?

[earnest wagon]

The movie 'The Fourth Kind' was made about a series of (true) close encounters / alien abduction stories that happened in Nome, Alaska. The film was produced by Gold Circle Films.

[shadow vapor]

Good catch!
And good flick.

And that definitely ties into aliens with the battle pass.

[wanton horizon]

References Hexameter... possibly this instead of Hexadecimal?

[alpine whale]

what information can we get from this towards the main easter egg?

[earnest wagon]

I suspect little, just calling out any links as I see them - I looked into NOME because of the potential timestamp reference once before, but that was a while ago and new info seems to relate a little more now.

[alpine whale]

best to wait for eyes

[fresh quiver]

what do you get out of any of those over 300 clues that were found 😄

[earnest wagon]

Nome being a gold rush town is pretty compelling too.

[shadow vapor]

Nome intrigued me.
One, because of the northern lights.

Now I'm threading towards the alien encounters.

Eggs bringing life,maybe a creator or designer.

I don't have any particular extra terrestrial mythology to draw from though.

But "gold circles films" really got me.

[earnest wagon]

It's Spanish for 'Name' if that helps too.

[solar glade]

mmm, no it isn't. "nombre" is name in Spanish

[shadow vapor]

Damn, Spear's right.
Been a minute since Spanish class.

[wanton horizon]

Portuguese

[earnest wagon]

Ah, my bad - Portugese.

[shadow vapor]

But "Nomen" is latin for name!

[fresh quiver]

had 3 years latin until i switched schools..
now im having latin classes again in easter egg

but can we move all that offtopic to #1201288968562552863
but depends if you can write there

[sharp glacier]

No
That's Nombre

[earnest wagon]

Again, applying some meta-analysis to this - I would supect that if Nome plays a more integral part to the puzzle there would be more clues pointing to it. When I first saw it in the puzzle I thought of Pratchett's Nome trilogy, but there's been no links to that or the film.

At best, it's a stepping stone to the bigger answer.

[fresh quiver]

too much maths for me ._.

[earnest wagon]

Wait... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nome_(mathematics)

Elliptics? Now we're on firmer ground.

[wanton horizon]

It all circles back to Egg...

[civic hornet]

Nomen mirrored Emon. EDIT: Never mind EMON means event monitoring

[fresh quiver]

non-elementary functions.

[earnest wagon]

This might also be worth a read: https://www.nomelab.com/#about

[quaint stream]

Rob is making my search history look very schizophrenic loool

[civic hornet]

really hope my work doesnt monitor search history

[trail violet]

I’m definitely on a list now

[sharp glacier]

They'll just think that you like space,math and latin

[wanton horizon]

Astrophysics, ancient Greek writing styles, and faberge eggs for me💀💀

[earnest wagon]

👉 #1201288968562552863

[civic hornet]

and eggs

[sharp glacier]

You can justify that one by saying that you were hungry

[wanton horizon]

I still feel strongly about the strong connection concerning Castor and Pollux

Even more so after @earnest wagon mentioned navigation. They were the patrons of sailors

[shadow vapor]

Plus them also, later being called the Gemini.

Which ties around to a few other threads we've all been pulling.

[wanton horizon]

Absolutely

[earnest wagon]

What's the Castor and Pollux line of thought?

[wanton horizon]

Twins (mirror) from Greek mythology. Said to be born from an Egg from Leda and Zeus, who was guised as a Swan. They also helped Jason and the Argonauts retrieve the Golden fleece

[shadow vapor]

Reading into this now.

https://www.fbrt.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/The_Shakespeare_Gemini_Headpieces.pdf

[wanton horizon]

They also are the two characters that make up the constellation of Gemini

There are so many direct references I feel like it can't be coincidence. It hits everything

[earnest wagon]

There's some wooliness about which of Leda's four children came from either of the two eggs as far as I understand, but that's a good link.

[shadow vapor]

This part stood out to me specifically.

"Each of these three Gemini headpieces not only portrays the mortal and immortal twins,
Castor and Pollux, otherwise known as the Gemini (‘heavenly twins’), but their different (yet
in many ways similar) designs provide a key to Shakespeare and the Shakespeare works. The
three headpieces not only relate to the Gemini myth, but also reveal the underlying design,
meaning and purpose of the Shakespeare works, including their authorship."

A Shakespeare thread?

[fresh quiver]

we talked about Pollux & Castor a month ago. was never eyed :c

[wanton horizon]

Insane coincidences then. Hoping Rob just overlooked them

[shadow vapor]

Damn, I was definitely catching some interesting ties in that link too.

Reference to the face of the Gemini representing truth.

Crazy coincidence, indeed.

[wanton horizon]

Especially with the hacker group trying to uncover truth for the players.... damn I wish this was a hit

[shadow vapor]

Same, felt like we were heading in a strong direction.

[quaint stream]

So I was looking at old Rob posts and saw he mentioned Nascar Heat and again things shift from blue to red in space. Anyways, I saw he commented ♥️DICE♥️ so I of course Google love dice and forgot that's a 👌👈 thing LMFAO. BUT...there's Greeks or Romans who had a dice game called Aphrodites Throw and that's where you throw four dice. And also apparently Zeus, Hades, Poseidon would play dice games to see who would rule the realm of the universe.

[hard current]

Dice is the old company many of embark used to work for:) also, we don’t have any clues about greek gods or anything hehe..

[balmy fog]

Long time ago DICE made Bad Conmpagny 2

[opaque thistle]

Uhhhhhhhh okay so perfect you mentioned this, I actually have a trail of clues I've been working on putting together that lead all the way up from Midas and King arthur and tristan and iseult and then all the way through the constellations going up to specfically Zeus Hades and Posideon all from Aphrodite 😅

[quaint stream]

Well just valentines day and Greek/Roman stuff but yeah just a good laugh and such. Still wondering how JWST isn't it but as long as we keep probing around and have more aliens I'm happy

[quaint stream]

Ohp, just spooked myself looking into ancient astronauts and reading about Heavens Gate stuff. AUUUGGGH I just want aliens in the finals

[stuck basalt]

I don't have sufficient permissions to post in the official-art-hack thread. But I wonder if anyone has looked into the clue that Rob gave with the 2x2 image of red and blue that might suggest an image to be stereoscopic/anaglyph 3d? That follows another clue he mentioned of looking deep into the image.

[earnest wagon]

I don't think I've seen that mentioned yet. If you've got ideas as to what images it could be used with, or some examples of trying that method out, that would be great!

[civic hornet]

I acc quite like this suggestion

[alpine junco]

could you send it to me

[stuck basalt]

I don't have anything to send sadly. I haven't looked into it that much myself yet. I just did not want to clutter the main thread.

[alpine junco]

i found the photo

[upbeat ridge]

AYO WHAT @hard current WHAT HAPPENED

[fresh quiver]

?

[civic hornet]

what about overlaying ques and tion then applying the 3d effect

[hard forge]

Are we in the orbit again?

[fresh quiver]

idk where we are again.

[civic hornet]

hmmm, well it certainly looks cool

[alpine junco]

thats at 90% opacity so idk if different opacity makes a difference

[velvet narwhal]

Now put on 3d goggles and see what happens

[alpine junco]

rob sent this

Just budding in here, is there an progress with the five rosses?

[acoustic canyon]

i like the rob is scotty and dusty is june theory

[gloomy anvil]

Alrighty let's solve this password before tomorrow

[ionic orbit]

We decided to put it on the back burner since it’s not part of the main EE

[alpine junco]

Gather ye Rose-buds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying:
And this same flower that smiles to day,
To morrow will be dying.

The glorious Lamp of Heaven, the Sun,
The higher he's a getting;
The sooner will his Race be run,
And neerer he's to Setting.

That Age is best, which is the first,
When Youth and Blood are warmer;
But being spent, the worse, and worst
Times, still succeed the former.

Then be not coy, but use your time;
And while ye may, go marry:
For having lost but once your prime,
You may forever tarry.[1]

[alpine whale]

this has weird connection to in game "such as race be run", "youth and blood are warmer", "go marrry for having lost but once your prime"

could this be connections to the game show of the finals?

maybe how scotty was overtaken cause hes out of the show

[ionic orbit]

Put if you want a little bit more about it, they likely have something to do with the bride skin and a broken heart. They likely have something to do with the mannequin the container we just don’t know yet though

That was my thoughts to.

UNLESS YOU FOCUS ON PADLETS

[hasty anvil]

Time to revisit?

[alpine junco]

thats a flow chart in business statistics

[hasty anvil]

Look at padlet…

[fresh quiver]

1. read the pins
2. if you didnt read the pins. read the pins.
3. if you didnt read the pins yet. read #egg-hunt-onboarding

[alpine junco]

what about it

[hasty anvil]

There’s a lot of information, I understand that, but without looking at our past findings, stuff will just be repeated forever

[alpine junco]

i went thru the 333 page google drive sheet too

[hasty anvil]

Tier 3 padlet, that image is on it and got eyes. It comes from the whiteboards in game, and links to this tier

[fresh quiver]

FINALLY.
someone who read the google docs documentation ._.

[alpine whale]

i shall leave

[hasty anvil]

I think we need to put our clues together in a way where we can place our truths on that flow chart. The obvious flow chart config is gold and egg together, but it doesn’t lead to anything

[fresh quiver]

why?

[alpine whale]

i am not helping with anything at all

[alpine junco]

what is this form?

[fresh quiver]

just give it some time.
Im mostly just spitting in ideas myself too.

give it 1-2 days and you will be in your first rabbit holes.

[acoustic canyon]

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

[acoustic canyon]

one of the winners, George Ellis, made an early model of the big bang based off the cosmic egg

[gloomy anvil]

Kip Thorne was a winner too, he was also awarded the 2017 Nobel in Physics for LIGO

[fresh quiver]

Interesting connection

[civic hornet]

I've searched for and havent seen a mention of the Big Bounce yet nor loop quantum gravity. I know the Big Bang has been a point of interest previously and this still obviously relates to begins and births. I will rabbit hole this for conenctions to elsewhere

Wait have we not looked into the Higgs Boson?

[split scaffold]

Have anyone looked into MultiCo? They started the OS for the finals in 1982, as found in the credit screen

[civic hornet]

The so called god particle?

[alpine junco]

wheres the channel with the deciphering links

[civic hornet]

I dont even see a single mention of the Higgs Boson anywhere

[split scaffold]

SPEAR put out a video 2 days bringing some interesting theories to the page

Highly recommend

Also just noticed that MultiCo is referenced in the bottom left of the floor plan spray

[civic hornet]

Higgs Boson, nicknamed the God particle is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics produced by the quantum excitation of the Higgs field, one of the fields in particle physics theory.

Nobel Prize:

François Englert and Peter W. Higgs finally received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013 after they proposed their theories independently in 1964

Big Bang:

Particles interacted with the Higgs field just 10-12 seconds after the Big Bang

Gold:

The Higgs Boson is very closely linked to the Goldstone Boson

Pulsars:

Pulsars apparently missing from the Galactic center could have been destroyed by asymmetric fermionic dark matter (mX=1 - 100 GeV ) coupled to a light scalar (mϕ=5 - 20 MeV ), which mixes with the Higgs boson.

Im sure there must be more connections out there, I saw there was some discussion surrounding CERN and its logo but can’t see the connection to the EE hunt.
I think the very fact that no one has mentioned the Higgs Boson could be important, could mean I know nothing about science and am practicaly just saying “no ones mentioned electrons” but I digress.
Time to dive deep down the rabbit hole.

Would appreciate some help from the more experienced EE hunters to go down this hole with me.

[sharp flame]

OOOOOoooo I missed all this

[sleek stratus]

https://tenor.com/view/higgs-death-stranding-gif-15562948

[sharp flame]

did anyone save the original files? with the metadata? (the ones that were posted yesterday and deleted)

[neon obsidian]

"This next song is about ingesting gold." Anybody picked that up ?

[earnest wagon]

I think SPEAR had them.

[hard current]

check with smashel

also fish everything new yesterday including robs messages are all in #1204573219894468648

[fallen jasper]

[hard forge]

back on clock eh?

[fallen jasper]

Yes

No rest for the wicked, or the EE hunters.

[solar sparrow]

are there any guides as to altering images to reveal clues?

[hard current]

I can’t figure out how space fits into all of this… we know binary pulsars and all that, and now we’re confident in the latinizing/mirroring of words, but what specifically…

[hard current]

#egg-hunt-onboarding and one of the first videos rock hound black put out 🙂

[solar sparrow]

sweet i thought so just couldn't remember

[hasty anvil]

Space combined with 1-2 other truths I reckon

[marble tree]

good morning/afternoon yall is there anything besides higgs that i missed from yesterday

[lofty temple]

I almost feel like space is just meant to reiterate mirrors. Alot of the instruments rob has cited use mirrors as their main way of visualizing into deep space. But idk.

[turbid tinsel]

Isnt there a saying thats along the lines like "avi vi dolche" or something like that in latin? i have no idea how to spell if or pronounce it

i could be onto something, maybe, i just need the proper phrase

[marble tree]

this as well as hints of other words like Gold and some latin being somewhat related

cause did we ever get anything out of the james webb telescope, because i remember alot of things connecting there

[civic hornet]

Higgs could be unrelated, but with the amount of talk of physics and nobel prizes I find it weird it hasnt been brought up yet

[unborn pilot]

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

[earnest wagon]

Connections: #easter-eggs message
Reservations: #easter-eggs message

Not had chance to add anything from yesterday to my working padlet so far.

[gloomy anvil]

The thing that bugs me about this is the talk page

[marble tree]

ok im happy redshift had some play cause i noticed that yesterday, however I do agree with both connections and reservations, However, we did get to the telescope in a logical sense, and considering how much matches with our current clues, I believe that it might lead to something once one or two more details arise from other clues

[solar sparrow]

so no one has found anything in tfee_tion.jpg?

[unborn pilot]

Interesting. Though if you google it you’ll see a bunch of articles referring to Golden Binary on this same topic

[crisp glen]

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

[unborn pilot]

Ab Ovo (egg) also led me to Ab Doradus (golden). A binary star.

[crisp glen]

used by Leonardo da Vinci in his personal notes

[unborn pilot]

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

[crisp glen]

and and old form of a cipher

[marble tree]

the jump from the "hack art" from last night to james webb telescope though is a bit rough in the padlet

[earnest wagon]

I came across this while chasing GW150914. It was discovered by Russell Alan Hulse and Joseph Hooton Taylor Jr. Both were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1993, and worked at Arecibo Observatory.

[turbid tinsel]

Doesnt literally everything refer back to the Periodic table? like the one thing all of these have in common? not sure on mirror but space, latin, numbers, ect. all of the clues have pretty much lead us to it?

[drowsy pilot]

anyone know if the writing on this sleeve means anything?

[alpine junco]

sponsor

[marble tree]

could be, especially since we may be able to use atomic numbers as clues with some of the number based clues we were left on

[turbid tinsel]

it reference latin, cas number which every star in space is categorized as, roman numerals, like is this not the one thing?

which all would link back to Dmitri Mendeleev

[marble tree]

im a bit lost on what from that point though

unless we have a branch from dmitri

[turbid tinsel]

mendelvium was used for one of the passwords

[marble tree]

ah.

[hasty anvil]

Did this lead to anywhere?

[hard forge]

yes

[acoustic canyon]

color is called carpe diem

[marble tree]

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

[hasty anvil]

Great ty!

Wait… sundial??

Gold sundial?? That links gold space time Latin

We had a Rob clue before, we were close with ‘gold watch’

Gold disc, the base of a sundial maybe

Gives compass bearings, north, south, west, etc

[marble tree]

true, but also its just a statement meaning seize the day, however the wiki page does have that sundial and theres more related to it, such as the flower painting (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gather_Ye_Rosebuds_While_Ye_May_(Waterhouse_painting_1909))

[hasty anvil]

Yeah, it just reminded me of a path we had before

Hmm, I wonder if the shadow of Tion can link to a sundial

[alpine junco]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_astrology
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_(god)

[marble tree]

big if true possibly

[worn flame]

Seize the spotlight

Carpe Lux

[opaque thistle]

yall breakin my brain fr

[hasty anvil]

The sundial of Tion won’t be able to be read unless we know a location

But I think that’s stretching too far, rip

[opaque thistle]

this almost looks like a sundial in STS vegas on a dumpster

[marble tree]

the times of the images hack art images maybe though i do think we are stretching

[opaque thistle]

(if u go to the side a lil more)

[earnest wagon]

Hmm... got another link here, but my hands are seizing up and typing is getting difficult. I'll try and map it out visually.

[marble tree]

buying you a 500$ drawing tablet and one of those cheesy ergonomic keyboards

[hasty anvil]

Maybe the +7 gives location from the time, but I think we need north/south hemisphere too

[marble tree]

i'd say the location of the maps we use could be it but thats also a major stretch

[valid lichen]

Any new 👀

[hasty anvil]

Yeah, maybe if sundial gets eyes we can pursue it

[marble tree]

that means we gotta wait tho

[alpine junco]

#1204573219894468648

also rob posted this

[marble tree]

is that the 2 pixel red

[valid lichen]

Oh wow thats good

[restive compass]

Yessss i was saying the other day if we are relating things to the mayan calendar and stars the sun dial has to be intertwined somehow

[marble tree]

yea i just couldnt see the little pixels lol

[restive compass]

Okay so if its like a gold watch it has to be sun dial. and we already had twilight as a clue, or shades of twilight. Do you think we should look into the position of a sun dial when it is each level of twilight.

[marble tree]

im not sure about the sundial thing though, it feels like a stretch to go from a color, to the wiki page, then to an image of a sundial on the wiki page with the text carpe diem on it

i could be wrong tho lmao

[restive compass]

I had my thoughts of carpe diem previously. is that from the shakespearean era?

[marble tree]

Carpe diem is a Latin aphorism, usually translated "seize the day", taken from book 1 of the Roman poet Horace's work Odes (23 BC).[1]

[restive compass]

I still think if we are finding clues in-game it would be for level 3 no?

[acoustic canyon]

most likely no ingame clues unless specifically hinted at by rob like the namatama that he hid

[marble tree]

yea, and only 2 of our leads thats been confirmed somewhat have been game things

[opaque thistle]

yoke lute... yolk?

apollo is the god of the sun which alchemically is gold

[marble tree]

Egg (yolk) gold (Apollo) space (constellation) Latin (this obvious) and mirror (?)

If I’m interpreting you correctly?

[restive compass]

https://mymemory.translated.net/en/Latin/English/bonum-noctis

Did we look into this?

[opaque thistle]

there's actually also a series of mirrored things that leads up tho this starting from hamlet 😅

[acoustic canyon]

he was just saying good night in a hint kinda way

[opaque thistle]

and I finished the connections off with the constellations

[marble tree]

Ok cause I didn’t see the process I just saw the info leading to it

bonum noctis means curae in english. ALSO can be rearranged to make combustion with an extra n not used.

I'm trying to find out how to stick all the information in a nice format so it's a bit clearer but I figured I'd drop that rq for the time being to see what people thought because it seemed pretty interesting

theres lots more tho

[restive compass]

I think mirror is more of a final clue than a 5 truth clue

[marble tree]

Nah cause rob said “5 truths”

#easter-eggs message

[fierce token]

nice

[restive compass]

i would think this refers to g=vi, o=0 being two truths, etc

[fierce token]

maybe

[velvet narwhal]

I think Latin, Space, Mirror, g=6 and o=0 are the 5 truths

[marble tree]

ok i see

yea i think thats it

[hard forge]

you got my attention

[fierce token]

uhghh

[acoustic canyon]

and egg and gold are the 2 threads?

[turbid tinsel]

man i wish i could just spit fire questions at rob, for a quick yes or no lol. my latest hole took me down to freddy mercury and Bohemian Rhapsody.

[velvet narwhal]

yep

[turbid tinsel]

maybe Galileo

[velvet narwhal]

I don't think e=3 is important since it isn't used in T2DEF

[fierce token]

eh

[fallen jasper]

Just remember T3 is the combination of every other tier. So whatever the answer is is going to be related to something from a previous tier.

[velvet narwhal]

BUT I still have no idea how to apply Space

[gloomy anvil]

Space is what's tripping me up too

[velvet narwhal]

we could make a _ between the words

[latent pasture]

Insert Portal 2 Space core here

[umbral shell]

60lden

[velvet narwhal]

or maybe remove the n
because n = null
and space is also nothing

but thats a far reach

[gloomy anvil]

I just don't think Rob would've eyed binary star systems and such specifically, and not eyed our constellation and other space-related theories, if Space was only used for an underscore

You'd think just space itself would be eyed then

[velvet narwhal]

and we still have to split the 5 truths into 2 and 3

[velvet narwhal]

can someone show a image of the whiteboard clue. I can't find it

what if he uses a palindrome again and may meant that with mirroring.

[earnest wagon]

SPACE - A (SIMPLIFIED) TIMELINE OF INTERESTING THINGS

Einstein:

• Predicts the existence of gravitational waves, a'la the theory of general relativity
• Won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922 (it was the 1921 prize)

Jocelyn Bell Burnell:

• Discovers the first pulsar, PSR B1919+21
• Was snubbed the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974 (given to her thesis supervisor instead)

Robert Alan Hulse:

• Worked at the Areceibo Observatory
• • Depicted in the Voyager Golden Record (big gold disk sent into space with pulsars used as mapping co-ordinates)
• • Starred in Goldeneye (James Bond - prior theme)
• Discovered the first binary pulsar, PSR B1913+16 in 1974
• • Binary pulsars supported Einstein's theory of general relativity and inferred the existence of gravitational waves, but did not observe them directly
• Won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1993
• Went on to join the Aurora Imaging Technology advisory board

George Smoot:

• Worked with the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE) satelite AKA Explorer 66 (E66=Egg?)
• • Worked with John C. Mather
• • Discoveries were the 'starting point for cosmology as a precision science' (cosmology = the nature of the universe, it's age, size, how it began etc.)
• Wrote** Wrinkles in Time**
• Won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2006
• Gave a TEDx lecture on how aspects of physics support the idea that we are all living in virtual reality

LIGO:

• Directly observed gravitational waves for the first time in GW150914
• • GW150914 is two black holes colliding, also known as a Golden Binary
• Won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2017

James Webb Space Telescope:

• Early development managed by John C. Mather
• Uses gold hexagonal mirrors
• Mission in part is to search for evidence related to the Big Bang (cosmology)
• Generates pictures by stacking multiple images and rearranging (suggested techniques to resolve VVV image)

[gloomy anvil]

14! we're at the 2 week mark, so let's solve it in 2 days

[tranquil minnow]

No mention of Lucky star 357 then?

[earnest wagon]

I missed quite a lot of stars out I reckon.

[fossil valley]

If they don't answer it usually means it's old new or been checked.

[velvet narwhal]

It could be notable for the next level but right now we don't need ingame stuff.

[hard current]

haha that gold record goes way back to the beginning of this tier lol

[turbid tinsel]

Vitellus was the only latin reference right?

[fresh quiver]

@fallen jasper 🙂

[earnest wagon]

Going through the older stuff definitely made me look at parts of it in a new light.

[fallen jasper]

[umbral shell]

Rip

Am I tripping or was there a clue that was named “why wasn’t I saved” or something like that?

[earnest wagon]

#1198659083587297350 The title of the image included "Why did nobody find me?" or words to that effect.

[umbral shell]

Maybe that’s a question we have to answer as well? ( if it hasn’t been discussed already)

[earnest wagon]

People have been looking for a way to find the original path to it. It's supposedly on the Vegas map.

[velvet narwhal]

It's not the titel it's in the url.
We were supposed to find a hidden namatama but we took so long that rob gave us another way to find it.

[earnest wagon]

Yup, that was it, thanks for the correction!

[velvet narwhal]

https://www.reachthefinals.com/whydidntanyonefindme-aminotimportant

[earnest wagon]

The 'Am I Not Important' is a clue to it's location I think, but I've not actually spent enough time ingame to put that theory into practice.

[umbral shell]

Okay copy that, I can check somethings out on Vegas if it’ll help advance the password search

[velvet narwhal]

Keep an eye out for a golden namatama (except those in the slot machine) and something which could look like a constellation

[gloomy anvil]

I just remembered that Ab Ovo originates from Horace. Since Rob hinted Horace again yesterday, is there something deeper he connects to?

[umbral shell]

Got you 🫡 also what was the “other way” to find the namatama. Was it the 11 steps rob was talking about?

[velvet narwhal]

We still have not found it. We think its a golden namatama in Vegas

[snow walrus]

is telescope in latin telescopia or tēlescopium

[umbral shell]

Okay just wanted to double check

[dull marsh]

In Steal The Spotlight we play at night, maybe we should check the constellations in the sky?

[umbral shell]

Also, have we tried substituting G & O for 6 & 0 in the most recent password attempts ?

[gloomy anvil]

wherever possible I try to

[snow walrus]

What if egg symbolizes the universe/space. Golden mirror telescope is james webb and made for observing/Opens Your Eyes to space

[turbid tinsel]

is mirror supposed to refer to spelling backwards? or is it like the text itself has to be backwards because "mirrors" would actually flip the text itself no?

[dull marsh]

I've mentionned the other day the Fabergé Constellation Egg which is made with gold, might be an interesting thing to look into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constellation_(Fabergé_egg)

[gloomy anvil]

I'm basing my assumptions about this on Rob's final message last night

"sitcon munob"

This is "good night", first translated into Latin, then entirely mirrored (message reversed). I suspect that's how we get the password.

[snow walrus]

Faberge is out of scope,never been eyed many times mentioned

[cloud wyvern]

i did a quick search and it seems like it hasn't been mentioned yet that a goose is in the new image from yesterday

[umbral shell]

Bruh lol

[snow walrus]

We look to outer space bcs ARC RAIDERS there :p

[cloud wyvern]

i found a lot of stuff in https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1204573219894468648 last night. some of it is def actionable, some of it is iffy, some of it is just goofin'.

[waxen osprey]

hey guys has anyone tried to look on internet the names of the in-game sponsors and add.com at the end

[turbid tinsel]

golden question would be a golden anser

[valid lichen]

Funny enough I don't think we have any real proof of it being in vegas

[snow walrus]

#1185727960980922488

[merry ocean]

Has anyone considered the discussion around binary stars being a clue more for utilizing binary in the password? Or binary in some other fashion other than just relating to space?

[umbral shell]

NIN could also mean national identification number (in reference to the recent picks in the hack chat)

[jade cradle]

I had a dream they "reworked" recon senses to be able to spot the easter egg ingame. Because nerfing the range doesnt feel like a "rework"

[earnest wagon]

Hmm, now you mention it, I can't recall why I thought it was there, just that people were searching there. Would be worth looking back to see if Rob confirmed/hinted one way or another.

[gloomy anvil]

I believe it started with the Caesar Palace, and that it's been in-game "since launch" - when Vegas was added

[cloud wyvern]

yeah the NIN is in the "iffy" category.

1. if its actually a clue and
2. what it actually stands for

Nine Inch Nails was just the first thought that came to mind, where are we on how significant the new image is to the current tier? i feel like the goose is a pretty big giveaway.

[turbid tinsel]

we had everything we needed before vegas was announced as we were supposed to solve it before last summer

[snow walrus]

Agnus Dei 🤔

[gloomy anvil]

Yeah, we don't need the Caesar Nama, but it was a bonus clue hidden somehow in-game

[cloud wyvern]

roughly what % of in game stuff has led to solving answers previously? EDIT: in reference to the current tier on the website.

[earnest wagon]

Yeah, that sounds right - but then the other maps were there at launch too. Did we ever get eyes on Caesar's Palace being a connection?

[gloomy anvil]

No, just speculation. T3 started before launch but after the Open Beta, so "since launch" could mean it's on any map.

[waxen osprey]

hey guys i just foud this webside idk if this will be used for something

[cloud wyvern]

the wiki link in here https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1100745453206786078 has a breakdown for the passwords

the google doc in there also has some good insight into seeing patterns/echoes from previous tiers.

[unkempt dune]

quick question, why is this level called "the promise"?

[waxen osprey]

btw guys can someone explain me how to help to fins easter eggs bc this realy interest me but itk where to start

[cloud wyvern]

because its a great song

note the name of the artist of the song

[gloomy anvil]

we don't know yet 🤔

[iron wedge]

I guess because on the tutorial and the training match they call us a promise, the next Best thing in the finals

[cloud wyvern]

I PROMISE, I PROMISE YOU I WILL

[velvet narwhal]

Thats interesting. It would be crazy if he worked on ligo

[dull marsh]

Is it weird that the sky on Las Vegas map doesn't seem to match at all what we should see from actual Las Vegas? It seems to be the real sky but from the southern hemisphere, maybe that could be a hint to some physical location in the lore?

[pearl hamlet]

has anyone found anything that can explain the leaked cutscene that some of us got in game?

[long plaza]

someone was talking about finding a constellation on Vegas but I don’t remember exactly what they were saying

[dull marsh]

Have we looked at constellations from other cultures? We seem to be focused on western constellations but there are many more

[acoustic canyon]

thats more of a thing for #📕┇lore

[umbral shell]

It’s also the year of the dragon

[dull marsh]

I tried to look for the Vulpecula constellation (which is a fox holding a goose, and seem to be hinted), it should be visible from irl Las Vegas's sky, but here it's over the horizon in a way that doesn't match

[cloud wyvern]

are you matching it to the date that the map takes place in

[dull marsh]

True, I should change the time of the year to see if I can make it match

[unkempt dune]

The Commence makes sense

[snow walrus]

ivive nedloiv

or
muerua muvo

[zealous folio]

We are so close I can feel it

[dull marsh]

I'm seeing that there are four celestial objects which have Egg in their name:

• Faberge Egg Galaxy (probably not as Faberge doesn't seem like a hint)
• Robin's Egg Nebula (NGC 1360, fornax constellation, discovered by german astronomer Friedrich August Theodor Winnecke in 1868)
• The Egg Galaxy (NGC 2937, hydra constellation)
• Fried Egg Galaxy (NGC 7742, pegasus constellation, O. K. Sil'chenko and A. V. Moiseev found that it was two galaxy that merged)

There are a few more that have Gold in their name, will need more time to summarize those

[wanton horizon]

Also Fried Egg galaxy (NGC 7742)

[dull marsh]

Weird, I didn't see it in my app, thanks I'll add it

[waxen osprey]

guys how big do you think the egg hunt is?

[wanton horizon]

Also, not a celestial body but, Evaporating Gas Globules (EGG) :a region of hydrogen gas in outer space approximately 100 astronomical units in size

[valid lichen]

I think it was a domino effect. All I remember was mentioning the fact that Caesar namatama could mean Caesars Palace and I started searching in Vegas and the rest was history.

[queen hornet]

about this big 🫸 🫷

[dull marsh]

Wait could a "gold medal" be a galaxy related to "gold"? Galaxy kinda looks like a medal

[wanton horizon]

Dense areas of EGGs can lead to the birth of stars

[waxen osprey]

noiceee, personally I think it could lead to easter eggs in the real world

[dull marsh]

I'll try to look into that after

[wanton horizon]

Not sure if it at all connects to the bigger picture, but I won't rule anything out

[waxen osprey]

guy can anyone summarize what we found and what we are searching for?

[wanton horizon]

second or third reference back to jason and argonauts i think?

[dull marsh]

I found 10 celestial bodies related to "gold" in their name:

• Golden-Eye Cluster / King Cobra Cluster (Messier 67 or NGC 2682, cancer constellation, discovered by Johann Gottfried Koehler in 1779)
• Fool's Gold Galaxy / Spindle Galaxy (Messier 102, draco constellation, discovered by Pierre Méchain)
• Golden Earring Cluster (NGC 2547, vela constellation, discovered by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in 1751)
• Copeland's Golder Worm (NGC 2301, monoceros constellation, discovered by William Herschel in 1786)
• Golden Harp Cluster (NGC 1502, camelopardalis constellation, discovered by William Herschel on nov 3 1787)
• Goldschmidt (minor planet, hydra constellation)
• Goldstone (minor planet, taurus constellation)
• Gold (minor planet, aquarius constellation)
• Goldreich (minor planet, gemini constellation)
• Golden (minor planet, libra constellation)

Note that the minor planets might change constellation depending on the year and time of the year

The Fool's Gold galaxy could be an interesting thing, as it both references alchemy, is in the Draco constellation and could be a "gold medalion" 🤔

[hard current]

this the type of stuff that we need:))

[fallen jasper]

Oh lawd i need to read alot of chat lmao

[merry ocean]

5 things have been true, when looking at all the previous passwords. I think we need to look at 5 things that were true when solving all the other passwords. Take what we know about the clues for this password, then apply 5 methods employed in the previous passwords

• o=0
• numbers are expressed in roman numerals
• english > latin
  etc.

[dull marsh]

Hehe idk, I'm just nerding out on it 😄

[hard current]

mirrors, space, gold, egg, latin

rob all but outright confirmed that last night

[waxen osprey]

hey guys do you think using and ai tuned for the finals lore and easter eggs could help us out?

[hard current]

you guys are thinking in the right direction for the most part, but new “theories” aren’t likely going to solve this, we have to take what we have now 🙂

[dull marsh]

I don't think we do that here, the goal is to use our collective brainpower

[fallen jasper]

[waxen osprey]

yeah thats what I thought it makes it more rewarding

[hard current]

nah we stay away from ai, it 99% of the time generates random nonsense hehe

[sweet owl]

i swear to god if the password is something related to another particular nexon game i'll actually lose my mind

[hard current]

my plan after work is to take all the latin variations of “golden egg” and reverse them, specifically ones with “au” in them as it ties to the northern lights (space) but I think the big piece we’re likely missing is space

[wanton horizon]

would Speculum Astronomiae be worth a dive? Latin for The Mirror of Astronomy.

[unkempt dune]

people do talk about "the promise" of gravitational waves, which might be where the level's name comes from

[wanton horizon]

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

[hard current]

unless you can find ties to gold/egg/space then I wouldn’t

[acoustic canyon]

its written by albertus magnus

[wanton horizon]

understood. ill do some research

[hard current]

and remember “ab ovo” egg may not be what we’re looking for, instead it may be “from the egg” or “from the beginning” those lines of thought

[unkempt dune]

this would be a good example that relates to LIGO https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2018.0105

[dull marsh]

For the Draco constellation:

The dragon; in Greek mythology, Ladon, guard of the tree on which golden apples grew, slain by Hercules.
Golden apples huh?

[merry ocean]

Looking at the previous passwords, they seem so simplistic at the end. The equation for the area of a hexogon seems as though it could be used, solving for A. Otherwise it currently just links to JWST. Like entering a specific number for "a" would give us A="#", which could convert to roman numerals? Just some thoughts

[waxen osprey]

hey how to you find the variations of "golden egg" in latin?

[hard current]

my current thought is it’s either pointing to Jwst, or that’s actually for lore/cns related stuff

[hard current]

type it into google translate, and look below, there are a lot of variations for the word “golden” in latin

[waxen osprey]

ohh ok nice

[latent pasture]

Have we solved Tier 3 yet?

[wanton horizon]

oh man Albertus Magnus is the guy who is said to have discovered the alchemists stone. creating gold with transmutation. could "Gold Egg" be the stone itself?

[gloomy anvil]

It's a crime that DeepL doesn't have a Latin option

[waxen osprey]

1. Ovum Aureum - Muera Muo

3. Ovum Aereum - Muera Mueo
4. Ovum Auriferum - Murefira Muo

latin is not a rabbit hole, but a common theme

[lucid tiger]

suggested something similar today.
what if AB ovo means search in Level 2 - t1A / t1B, and ovo ofc looks like mirrored
and Rob said this on T1A "There are actually some clues you missed in the images released for Level 2 - T1A... some of the clues have multiple levels so they can actually help you in the future"
main theme is from beginning

[solar sparrow]

no spaces

[latent pasture]

Btw, We have something going on in Skyway right?

On a Clear Night there, the moon is 1. MASSIVE 2. Blood Red. Think theirs anything to do with that or just a detail that shouldn't be taken into the hunt?

check it out:))

[waxen osprey]

okay im on it

[wanton horizon]

i noticed this playing last night i cant believe i forgot

[hard current]

there is something hidden in skyway akin to the white rabbits of seoul and the monkey in monaco, tho nobody knows what it is yet

[dull marsh]

From the following article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_egg

Later, as the concept of a true singularity came under increasing criticism, alternative nonsingular "cosmic egg" (emergent Universe) scenarios started being developed.

• In 1913, Vesto Slipher published his observations that light from remote galaxies was redshifted,[20][21] which was gradually accepted as meaning that all galaxies (except Andromeda) receding from the Earth.
• Alexander Friedmann predicted the same consequence in 1922 from Einstein's equations of general relativity, once the previous ad-hoc cosmological constant was removed from it (which had been inserted to conform to the preconceived eternal, static universe).
• Georges Lemaître proposed in 1927 that the cosmos originated from what he called the primeval atom.
• Edwin Hubble observationally confirmed Lemaître's findings two years later, in 1929.[22]
• In the late 1940s, George Gamow's assistant cosmological researcher Ralph Alpher, proposed the name ylem for the primordial substance that existed between the Big Crunch of the previous universe and the Big Bang of our own universe.[23] Ylem is closely related to the concept of supersymmetry.[24]

Lemaître is mentionned here.

Then we go to Ylem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ylem

The word means something along the lines of "primordial substance from which all matter is formed" (that in ancient mythology of many different cultures was called the cosmic egg[6]) and ultimately derives from the hūlē (Ancient Greek: ὕλη, romanized: matter), probably through an accusative singular form in Latin hylen, hylem.[7]

Meaning "cosmic egg", possibly comes from Latin "hylen" or "hylem"

[waxen osprey]

and do I keep capital letters?

[latent pasture]

Hm, I'm thinking the moon may be a guide then. Its not towards the moon at night, but during the day it could be?

[waxen osprey]

of course man I am not a barbarian

[latent pasture]

Fair! Just making sure

[iron wedge]

unless you try one of the many teories we are working on and one of them work, then come to tell us asap

[latent pasture]

Or- Hm. I'm thinking that in Skyway, Clear Night. There could be something on the moon

[iron wedge]

triangles

[merry ocean]

Rob said "sitcon munob". Found this for SitCon: We introduce SitCon (SITe CONservation), a program designed to explore conservation of functionally important sites in a series of hypothetically homologous candidate protein structures, given amino acid sequence as an input. This can especially be useful when looking for an unknown function of a protein.

And munob in latin = "function"

Not sure how @gloomy anvil got this to translate to "Goodnight"

[dull marsh]

I feel like if we talk about JWST, Lemaitre, Big Bang and gravitational waves, then we should also talk about Hubble Telescope and Hubble's constant (and Mr Hubble himself)

[latent pasture]

Well, thats a given xD

[hearty meteor]

its bonum noctis mirrored, which is good night

that happens alot

[waxen osprey]

yes but I am shure we will figure it out soon

That probably calls out that that is what the theme of mirror means regarding the password. Whatever the base of the PW ends up being, likely needs to be entered mirrored in that way.

Wait, So we're looking for a golden egg, right? Is that what we're doing?

[hearty meteor]

read the pins, wiki and #egg-hunt-onboarding

[hard current]

I would highly recommend you read the wiki and take some time to look at the padlet in #egg-hunt-onboarding :)) also read the pins

[snow walrus]

Lol

ca0nt send pictures

[latent pasture]

I mean, I saw people talking about it

[hearty meteor]

lmao

[hard current]

yes… but you won’t understand quite what we’re looking for until you look at those;)

[restive compass]

@hard current Nice pin at 5pm yesterday btw

[indigo pike]

anyway in negated color its yellow, im trying some different hue and shit

[restive compass]

literally what I have been needing is just like an actual present update

send them to someone who can post them in chat in dms

i can send them rn, you can dm me

[gloomy anvil]

Yes

[latent pasture]

I've read them all... :/

I thought I was onto something since I saw a golden egg in promotional material, but I assume you already found that. Also the themes of "Gold" and "Egg" made my brain put them together.

[hard current]

yes we have seen that:))

"Shakespeare covers the Wars of the Roses in the tail end of Henry V, and in more depth in the Henry VI plays and Richard III. Romeo and Juliet, on the other hand, focuses on the Montagues and Capulets of Verona, Italy, and a family feud that is not centered on gaining a throne." Found this online

[hearty meteor]

[hearty meteor]

and roses

[hard current]

remember guys we have to combine

gold
egg
space
latin
mirror

don’t look for something that only encompasses one of those ideas (remember, latin and mirror are literal, so it’s really about gold space and egg)

someone jokingly said "time to break out the 3D glasses" but i genuinely think that may help. and possibly why rob posted this:

[indigo pike]

this actually makes sense

[junior jackal]

Same

[merry ocean]

Been playing with this image. The missing green hex is: 00ff00. When you take that green and add it to the red and blue you get:
green added to red = ffff00
green added to blue = 00ffff
Those are also the RGB hex for C and Y in CMYK
The missing M in CMYK = ff00ff
The missing K in CMYK = 000000

So more mirroring there. Feel like this is just another nudge to mirroring the password, but may be more layers to it

[junior jackal]

Wow u smart

[cloud wyvern]

interesting

another point for the anagram password

er, palindrome*

[junior jackal]

U r confusing me with big words dude

[merry ocean]

Also what if we mirrored what was done in the previous passwords. Instead of "o" = "0", it's the other way around. Instead of "6" being "vi", for this password it'd be "6"

[junior jackal]

👍

[brisk hearth]

that removes the latin connection to it no?

[merry ocean]

Not necessarily, it'd be taking a latin word or number, then swapping it out, so technically still involves latin. If we get a latin word with "vi" in it, we could substitute the "vi" in that word with "6", while also mirroring that word. Just a thought

[elfin atlas]

Im sorry i couldnt follow today. Has rob send a new message? Can someone get me to the newest point of view?

Hmm, earlier @wanton horizon mentioned Evaporating Gas Globules (EGG), which are large regions of gas in space.
One of the most famous is the Pillars Of Creation, which is one of the first and most emblematic pictures from JWST, a space telescope with golden mirrors 🤔
Might be onto something here

Plus the cloud does appear kinda golden, and is kind of an "egg" for new stars to be born

https://www.nasa.gov/universe/nasas-webb-takes-star-filled-portrait-of-pillars-of-creation/

These big clouds of gas are created by supernovas

[merry ocean]

Good connections there. Remember seeing that comment, but was missing some of the correlations.

[timber spindle]

even the name is EGG (Evaporating Gas Globules)

[dull marsh]

The name "The Pillars of Creation" is a reference to the pillars of classical temples of Greece or Rome also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillars_of_Creation

[timber spindle]

Evaporating Gas Globules (EGG)

[merry ocean]

The crystal structure of hydrogen, which is what those clouds are composed of, what forms stars, is shaped like a hexagon as well... https://www.britannica.com/science/hydrogen

"The primordial gas clouds were found to contain only the lightest elements — hydrogen and helium — that were created in the Big Bang."

We may want to shift more focus to Hydrogen

[hard current]

I’ve tried everything you guys have said with latin mirrored in #1175206999802249307

[dull marsh]

Also, gold is created through supernovas, the same thing that creates those EGG clouds

And a supernova can leave a black hole or a neutron star behind, and a neutron star can be a pulsar

[true iris]

While we are on the topic, ill share these links i found: https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/objects/heapow/archive/compact_objects/kilonova_progenitor.html#:~:text=Gold and other complex%2C neutron,is somewhat of a mystery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW170817

[unreal cove]

What's the prize anyway?

[merry ocean]

Can’t add the ones I’ve tried to the thread unfortunately. Been making sure to test the ones I try in the thread search to make sure they haven’t already been tested

[hard current]

probably nothing we do this for fun

[gloomy anvil]

the prize is solving T3

[unborn ledge]

sense of pride and accomplishment

[unreal cove]

hope it's woth it tho

[unkempt dune]

so for T1A, the beginning of level 2, the marble egg in the pisan cathedral was supposed to hint towards focusing on a date. Maybe we're supposed to do that with this one because of dates being used a lot as hints for this tier.

[timber spindle]

the friends we made along the way

... remember, gold space egg latin mirror

CE2029 might be the colour of object ingame indicating rabbit location

[whole cedar]

hey I found a big easter egg hunter in the game while I was playing and forgot to tell him something that could help you guys a lot. The holtow fine print skin for the m11 (light's starting weapon) comes with a stick that has a QR code. I scanned the code and its a real one that takes you to a website with a single blinking light

[acoustic canyon]

#1185727960980922488

[whole cedar]

idk if you guys needed this at all but I found it pretty cool so just thought I would share

[hard current]

actually CE2029 was originally the color of the blinking red dot on the holtow page... likely more tied to that than wr's but

[hard current]

#1185727960980922488 🙂

[whole cedar]

damn you guys already covered it months ago

[iron wedge]

it is related to the WR, I asked rob about which color was the rabbits favourite and he told me that rbg code

[unreal cove]

ey my man bıohazard ıs on ıt agaın keep ıt up bro

[dull marsh]

CE2029 is called Fire Engine Red

Fer is iron in french :3

[queen hornet]

oh cool i missed that when seeing the color originally… so not really for t2?

[iron wedge]

not at all, maybe indirectly lore wise but it wont help us at all with the code

[dull marsh]

WAIT, isn't Iron the point where fusion stops creating energy but absorbs it, and thus leads the star to go supernova?!

[timber spindle]

yes?

[hard current]

ah, but he also responded to a lot of random things with a lot of random things, I would not guess that meant it's directly related, it could be more because you said color and less because you said WR

[dull marsh]

I think I'm stretching a bit too far lol, Fire Engine Red => FER => Iron (from french)

[unreal cove]

coordınates maybe?

[iron wedge]

he said specifically that the rabbit would choose that color if given the chance, and when i asked shortly after if it was only for the WR he pretty much said yes

[unreal cove]

the code for that colour ıs 4901

that’s not a glitch

yeah top

[fossil valley]

[dull marsh]

ah shit, that is indeed big misinformation, is it confirmed not a glitch or do we just not know?

[hard current]

I mean, if you look at it it’s clearly not a glitch, but also there has never been any confirmation that it was a glitch I have no idea where that came from

[true iris]

binary?

[dull marsh]

I don't know honestly, I saw it the other day and I concluded that it was probably just an effect caused by a lightsource positioned toward the moon, as the same effect can be seen on the arena spotlights 🤔
But yeah we just don't know then

[true iris]

weird that its 7 bit. also it could be 2^6

[unreal cove]

where did you get this from?

[odd crater]

its look like a QR

[iron wedge]

wait really?,i keep being thrown back and forth with it being either a glitch or not

[turbid tinsel]

does that look like 7 = Y in black ?

[iron wedge]

I kinda see 1 77

[coarse dagger]

The text Rob has hidden in images is basically always a digital font (unless it's from a signature or graph).
So I'm gonna go with

[iron wedge]

you are right on that, the only one that hasnt been a digital font was the signature (which either way was still easy to tell appart from the rest of the image)

[pallid sorrel]

Could space be a literal space between 2 words

[solar sparrow]

no spaces are in the passwords so possibly an underscore

[hard current]

unfortunately no, no spaces in the passwords

[pallid sorrel]

There's also a unicode for space

[hard current]

I mean

[solar sparrow]

U+0020

[hard current]

that's always a chance, try taking any of my recent passwords in #1175206999802249307 and put 0020 between the words, that's all I can think of for now

[solar sparrow]

and also 0200 because of the mirror clue lmao 😭

[pallid sorrel]

Yea an ASCII for space is 32

[solar sparrow]

oh shit that's the format anyways

scratch unicode

[pallid sorrel]

If this is the case we only have only 2 words related to gold and egg in mirrored latin with 32 in between

[eternal violet]

32 is space, and wiki says passwords are without spaces, unless you literally type in '32' lol, but _ or + seems logical

[dull marsh]

Guys, since it's about Latin and Space, shouldn't we look into planets? I mean most of them (if not all?) are named after roman gods 🤔

[pallid sorrel]

Just speculating here but one of the truths is space and any chance of that being a literal space between using ascii or anyother format could be possible

it could be, but I'd be surprised given the clues to northern lights, and binary stars and pulsars that we've seen

We’ve had solid speculation for all 4 others but space we’ve been stuck on

binary pulsars.. neutron stars.. northern lights.. something in there

So it makes sense of it being a literal space or as in other forms 32 / 0020

just a basic answer i think

There is a ‘+/+x=‘ in that order too (only 1 x in message so I assume multiply)

decode each block using base64 and perform the calculation using those operators

before the / you have a 0 that should be a D in your 0tcQ

[merry ocean]

They are the same

[pure loom]

ok

[wind olive]

THIS IS DIFFRENT FROM R.CADE'S

[hearty meteor]

wait why is the equal sign inbetween two numbers

[unborn pilot]

Yeah i need to double check the lietters on the image

[umbral shell]

Maybe gg instead of “qg” at the end

[unborn pilot]

QjtofWEjcmI9MhKBubGc4kBvpV should be 2399
81 106 116 111 102 87 69 106 99 109 108 57 77 104 75 66 117 98 71 99 52 107 66 118 112 86 (Sum: 2399)

[gloomy anvil]

good catch

[hearty meteor]

did you calculate that by hand

[wind olive]

Q AND 0 TOO

[raven orchid]

i determined the roullete wheel on the heavy gun adds up to 622 instead because 6 and 22 are West and East and the 0 points North west- hope this helps maybe lead to writing on the wall

[hearty meteor]

already known, wall writings have been found too, good catch tho

[raven orchid]

its already known to be a compass?

[hasty anvil]

I don’t think direction was pointed out yet, so good idea

[hearty meteor]

oh yeah direction is new

[hard forge]

this is not correct

[raven orchid]

How do we find North

[hearty meteor]

although we already have the writings

[solar glade]

curiously enough, this new image doesn't have the official footer

[hasty anvil]

Let’s focus on new image for now

[hearty meteor]

we just found the writings lmfao

[raven orchid]

you guys are beasts

[unkempt dune]

what about it is wrong

[pure loom]

glitch

[hard forge]

you used an image to text program

[raven orchid]

i commented the compass theory on rockhoundblacks video what a coincidence

[marble tree]

CNS will pay for this

[unkempt dune]

I did not. And that does not answer my question.

[hard forge]

explain your J

[unkempt dune]

I've already made changes a while back

[unkempt dune]

btw, that 0 is incorrect, it's a Q

[hard forge]

we won't tho

[coarse dagger]

Better to actually quote Rob and link his message in my opinion:

Message he was replying to:
#easter-eggs message

It's also Latin. Here we go down a rabbit hole again.

Rob's reply:
#easter-eggs message

Well Latin has been part of EVERY password…

[hearty meteor]

why does it matter what method the string was discovered with? if its wrong just correct it

[median silo]

Oh dear. Math.

[hearty meteor]

has anyone gotten anything with this

[gloomy anvil]

#easter-eggs message

[hearty meteor]

why is the equal sign between two numbers

[unborn pilot]

new attempt -> QjtofWEjcml9MhKBubGc4kBvpV + bZzENOIukEMcpglwgbq6ubU944Y8L0mibTU2JhDtcQ / MNGAugCOXL5VOEQICMjPqZ6q0LYWPC2QCqYr0dONuhErv + 5cAmOp01uqWWI0VG0Zv5K4Ru9P8aEAMsPxe82pCyh6TosRTlEtyqgTg =

[acoustic canyon]

i think the u in Aug should be a y. only looks that way really close up

[timid solstice]

cool new art!

a + b / c + d = ??

[gloomy anvil]

agreed

[dull marsh]

Maybe we need to switch some G to 6 in there?

[hearty meteor]

no, prob not

[hasty anvil]

Both of @unborn pilot images are correct, we should collectively use those

It’s clear and as far as I see doesn’t have mistakes

[crisp glen]

Agree

[cunning kernel]

i think the equals is just showing that the right side of the equals is the result of doing (a+b) and (c+d)

[rain comet]

Its ayg

[hearty meteor]

oh me smol brain

[civic hornet]

Oh damn new picture. Rob gotten bored waiting for us to figure it out?

[pallid sorrel]

Bruh start decoding

[hearty meteor]

0,717867231638418 is the answer to that

[hasty anvil]

Okay aug or ayg we can swap if we need to, the rest is correct

[unkempt dune]

I'm actually thinking the p is actually n at the start of 5cAm0p01

[hasty anvil]

We might not need each specific letter, maybe we just take numbers. If decoding comes to errors then we can check specific letters imo

[pallid sorrel]

Bruh

[hearty meteor]

ok i will turn on my pc just for this

[dull marsh]

Looks like base64 tho, if that's the case we need each character perfect

[median silo]

This is so confusing.

[hearty meteor]

after i brush my teeth etc brb

[hasty anvil]

It might be better to focus on the part before the + and figure out the technique we need

[unkempt dune]

the letter doesn't go below the baseline, meaning it's probably n instead of p

[civic hornet]

Sure that's a u and not a y?

[pallid sorrel]

I have to sleep 😫

[dull marsh]

Wait, each section might be a different encoding tho, beginning looks like base64 but I feel like the rest isn't

[coarse dagger]

Red bit plane 0

Quite a few '0's and 'o's:

[unkempt dune]

it's a y if you zoom in

[pallid sorrel]

Bruh whats that

[civic hornet]

Yeah that's what I'm saying. Sorry if it's been pointed out

[median silo]

So it says...Gay?

[coarse dagger]

@pure loom, background is reminiscent of what you were seeing here.

[pure loom]

yes

[marble tree]

No literally cause I’m in my bed and as soon as I’m comfy rob decides to post

[coarse dagger]

Different version of the string in Red channel bit plane 1:

[timid solstice]

reminds me of burrw.gif

[unkempt dune]

here's the letters more bold: https://i.imgur.com/v9EYfWH.png

this is also what a diffraction image for a telescope mirror looks like

Euler’s riddle: Two traders went to a market to sell eggs. Each of them had her own eggs and they had 100 eggs altogether. After selling all their eggs they earned the same amount of money. One of them says to the other: If I had as many eggs as you had, I would have earned 15 Kreuzers. Then the other replies: If I had as many eggs as you had, then I would have earned [tex]6\frac{2}{3}[/tex] Kreuzers. How many eggs did each of them bring?
