Lined paper -> the Practice range Nama is holding a clipboard
but that's pretty weak
back to the practice range 
also, interesting way to spell "mood" in rob's post. he really likes swapping d/e. also o -> d
my first thought was lined / notebook paper too, I mean, it's just so obvious
red and blue
club and 2
Why i look a P?
i need to clean noises but it's too late in here -_- tomorrow gonna work on this ques+tion
Where did everyone find the dog and the “?” ?
Is it the soundtrack
Like when you listen to it with a radiograph?
look like swan for me ahah https://imgur.com/a/B9XGY6E
check tier ABC-DEF links

I also see a ¿ in black but i think is random at this point XD
Ok, thx! And how did you make it this color?

fellas, ques and tion are super compressed, we have had many folks spend hours running ques and tion through image manipulators
Yeah. My thought was maybe it’s a clue toward A4 paper size in notebooks.
which could give us a leetspeak clue
A=4
I was thinking about a cell light
and overlaying and decompressing
This message encourages me
#easter-eggs message
what does it say?
Oye
Oye as Hey Or...?
open your eyes
Yorick's Skull evidence
André would refer to André Tchaikowsky
It's his skull used by the Royal Shakespeare Company in productions of Hamlet
tbh rob said we were close but WHEN exactly we're we
between 30 nov and 5 dec..
I do not know how to mark the message but Rob said that we have everything HERE
12th of June 2023
I was away for a bit, any progress for the past 2 days?
(long press > copy message link > paste it in chat)
Yea he says these things but he also says it's easy to find the answer BUT HERE WE ARE
was the keep it simple code ever cracked?
walk in the park...
Also Rob said this #easter-eggs message
Ofc it is. For a person that comes up with this stuff it is obvious 😄
I searched the chat several times and have 0 clue what he was trying to say there
Well, there are too many (wanna say much) possibilities, so I gave up trying figure that out
Shakespeare in the Park?
thats december 6, somethings wrong with your date/location settings
I'm from Europe, thought 12/06/23 was local date format
Makes sense, since t3 started mid-november
I would assume since Rob is also in Europe that euro date time is correct
I also thought about this. And honestly I do not think Rob wanted to give a hint here. It's just a figure of speech (I hope so)
But t3 started in November right? Or you say that he texted that message during previous tier?
Gold + Egg + Latin + Hamlet = Ophelia = 5 truths we need
From what I see he confirmed the first three but the ast two were equal to the 5 things
Correct
And novel prize?
Wasn’t that towards gold mainly
It lead to a bunch of threads surrounding space, orbit, gravitational waves etc
no nobel for bell
Hear me out: I solved a bunch of puzzles (those metal ones that you need to turn/twist/spin), and the higher was the tier, the easier was the answer. E.g. lvl needed a bunch of twisting and lvl6 needed 1 spin. Reading all the comments and researching a whole lot of info (including swampy padlet) I started to think this t3 puzzle should (must) be much simpler than we think.
Just get this: there are 10 tiers. I dare to assume that 10 tiers are divided into four group: 1-3 easy, 4-6 intermediate, 7-9 advanced, and 10th is just a sum-up of everything and a little bit more. Taking into account how easy (relatively) all t1 answers gave the clue to t3, and Rob commenting we have everything, I am eager to forget all the new info and concentrate on the t1-t2 answers and clues.
I was not here during those tiers hunt, but what hints/clues/info did you guys have at the moment? Excluding all new connection, concedences and stuff. Those 2 ques and tion picture were supposed to be just a final touch for the 1st third of the whole level. I mean, it's like a cherry on a cake. We NEED to keep it simple, it should not be that braindamagind at this point
well rob himself said that t3 suppose to be the easiest or "walk in the park"
on the "Rob's Helpful Hints" he said Hi.! Yes you CAN solve every EE (and level) with the first image, but, it’s hard… but the answer is there.! For every new image (or dusty text, hehe) we give you it becomes easier, and easier, and easier to solve each level… BTW you were actually really close already with the first image, I first thought TIER 1B was way too easy since you kind of mentioned the actual password (or is it a passcode @Giriko .?!) buuut then for some reason it went south… ._.
As I've said a few times over the last couple days, keep it simple. Finding more doesn't make it easier. Koctac, you can go through the padlets (they should be available on the wiki) to see how each tier was solved and how they got to them. The last two (ABC/DEF) I was here for, and all clues lead to G=6. Just needed to change GOLD and EGG to viold and evivi.
didn't he said he read the Padlets
Again, when you come up with a combustion engine, you see it as something simple as a 10$ Lego set. But once you try to explain it to people that were not invo into the research and development it starts to look like nothing obvious. Like teaching grandma how to use smartphone instead of brick with 2 buttons
ngl most of those padlets make my head explode, u guys are some geniuses ngl...
huh?
i just meant he's already stated that the passwords been mentioned
I watched RHB vids, then read the wiki and at last I went through the Padlets. This made it easy to understand
I am going through padlets each time before texting here, I do my homework. Just that I joined this EE (first in my life btw, except Ready Player One movie lol) one week ago does not make it simpler. But it is not so easy to jump into the middle of a discussion and become part of the hypetrain at once
Yeah i started watching his video today, i've played the finals for almost 100h without even knowing these easter-eggs existed, imagine my excitement!! 😄
You're doing great. Don't worry.
Oh sorry I just been re-reading Rob's "you can solve everything with 1 picture" message and it got me thinking. No offense
I remember you
None taken ❤️
ya but the other part of that is he said it would be very hard to do so
and i believe was referring to the easter egg as a whole
not just t3
crazy we are at
99 DAYS
you guys that were around at 1b, were there mentions of golden egg back then? thinking if that the lead he means was mentioned
couldve been 60
That actually made me thinking that l10 would be something that we already might have mentioned, even in "tried pws" thread
maybe ya
Is it possible to check which pws were entered at the moment Rob commented "I was afraid I entered the password incorrectly"?
@hard forge is there padlets for tier 1B? wanna see if i can find any leads that would connect
someone compiled them yesterday
nope, wiki and RHB vids that's all.
After seeing some of the things people are saying + the things rob says, It's looking like a palindrome password. He seems to really like symmetry.
Ah, yes, the threads. Will check it on pc on weekend
I think so too. I have been trying to convert goldenegg to a palindrome.
you mean tomorrow?
i got all entry in T3 tried passwords thread from 30 nov to 5 dec if you want.
Those were only for this final tier.
btw i and wig have tried what you are suggesting. But it doesn't hurt to do it again.
Unless there's still a google doc kicking around for the original tiers.
Maybe Sunday
Thanks!
Np! 🙂
I was not aware
thankyou 
Level 2 Tier 1A Padlet
I forgot about Duhs madness phase
Is guldägget theory closed? Cause you know, Rob is Swedish, and that is Swedish award
Im swedish too, never heard of that award tho
Is it already considered a condition if I see golden egg in the picture?
I stumbled upon it today again. Not much given in Wikipedia.
its also linked top left of T1B so we could go back from there
Quite interesting. I read a post or two, but found nothing
i mean "guldägget" literally translates to the golden egg so it could be something
idk how I missed this.
I believe Rusty mentioned it at some point, like a week ago, but I missed the part where/when the theory ended
isn't this the literal translation?
ayo who was it that found a weird 8 like just an hour ago or so? might be a reference to a taurus
I am not Swedish but Google says so
guldägg = golden egg, guldägget = the golden egg
ahh
Monaco 2014 - Year of the Horse (Horse easter egg??)
#easter-eggs message
oops mentioned already... alot
I tried finding a horse on the map today. I couldn't (yet)
I think you can drop the Guldägget award. It is strictly an ad award and I feel it is highly unlikely that it has anything to do with this EE hunt.
I'll keep an eye out
Nah it's the infinite killer from GTA v
I might have some sort of a lead, with Germanium
- I think that the LIGO, Gravity wave, etc leads us to the letter
G
- I think that the Euler stuff leads us to the letter
e
?->63->Gesymbol of Germanium, or 32Ge
- Germanene is the equivalent of Graphene but with Germanium, so a sheet of Germanium of 1 atom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germanene
- It has been created by beaming Germanium atoms upon a gold surface (a mirror?)
- It makes an almost perfect honeycomb latice (aka hexagonal)
- There is also Germanane that exists, which could be what Rob was afraid of having made a mistake
- Some paper on that topic https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0953-8984/27/44/443002
Germanium Theory
I've tried a few combinations of the different molecules I saw in there, or of the name germanene etc. without success (obviously)
But it seems like an interesting hint
is there any google docs for current tiers password attempts?
ah, i dont have permission for theards yet i guess :p
just need to talk a little bit more then, first level shouldnt take too long
Another thing I've noticed in the rob's image, there is a molecule but the N are written in reverse, that immediately makes me think of chirality, which is when a molecule is mirrored and thus behaves a bit different.
- Euler is linked to Euler's rotations and quaternions, which could link to that
- That could fulfill the
mirrortruth
Since he said (and repeated recently) that he did study chemistry, I think it's definitely an interesting thing to look at and has been part of most of the passwords for now
Can even have both Germanene nanotubes and chirality https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4585269 🤔
oh snap, were digging more into ? images 
this molecule is found tho
Even if it's found, I think it might be interesting
I believe we have to reuse and combine the logic we used for t1 and t2 passwords for this one
Maybe the password is backwards?
maybe passworddrowssap
Hmm, Germanium could also lead to #1209846680653004870 , as he was German 😭
IT FITS SO WEEEEELLLLL
you are sounding like someone
Can someone update me on this password stuff and how I can find the info to help solve?
also true
I know, and I'm aware it's probably wrong, but there are many tangible, bullet point links 😄
Thank you
someone get the holy water
Thank you 🙂
Just mash your head against your keyboard and you’ll probably get closer to the password than any of us have
huh
I might even have a clue which is when Rob posted some latitude and longitude
3.9958030 -75.604170 in letters gives EGGSBOEO LSGOAILO
Which we can get EGG, LIGO and OBOLES out of
OBOLES for romans were very small amounts of gold (0.57g)
But as I'm typing I'm realising 1 should be L and 7 should be T...
What molecule is this?
Protoporphyrin IX is an organic compound, classified as a porphyrin, that plays an important role in living organisms as a precursor to other critical compounds like heme (hemoglobin) and chlorophyll. It is a deeply colored solid that is not soluble in water. The name is often abbreviated as PPIX.
Protoporphyrin IX contains a porphine core, a te...
1337speak tho
can you link to Rob's message? is it the one that's supposedly Samuel Barber's house?
yeah that one
Yeah. Honestly all I found from that was a Latin title of a composition “Agnus Dei” aka Lamb of God
I expected that there was more to it so this is very interesting
Yeah but my transcription is more than questionable so might just be me wanting to connect stuff no matter what
399 is at the start & egg in leet is 399. That’s a good start / coincidence. I’ll look into it more
Has anyone loaded into the finals recently
The new cutscene
Is that new new or am I just real late to the party
is the coin dying animation a reference to ready player one?
it's okay, just a few days late
there's a thread for it: https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1209839696729874472
I didn't notice this before, but for some reason the cashbox here in the Open Beta trailer is black
looks yellow to me
isn't it not lit?
ah, yeah, maybe it is just poorly lit - it does look yellow just beforehand - scratch that
what sticks out to me from that screenshot of the trailer is the C4 and NO
@neon stream, solve this tier before Fish
😑
@sharp flame , solve this tier before serpenger
serpenger is too busy with work 😭
no no no...that's not how it works.
I think we must reflect on history
Is the Padlet up to date?
Did we find the 5 truths?
Gold
Egg
Latin
Space
Mirror
🤔
Hmmm could it be "Golden Egg" in latin, with a space (YES, space for the password), and in Latin? 🤔
HI SERP

I guess the "no space" part of the hunt is over now... 🤔
I hope I'm wrong
😂
Otherwise we might have many more passwords to try
noooooooo wayyy I never read that full conversation
bro
no wayyyy
LMFAO
time to start trying spaces lol
well hang on, aren't we technically still on the prelaunch EE?
But he planned for this level to be done before launch right? I don't know if I read anything official but remember seeing a lot of talk about that
Rob thought we'd solve T3 before summer last year sooo
🤷🏻♂️
I really hope there aren't any spaces 😭
Just throwing ideas out there, but I guess it's something we need to consider
SR works in mysterious ways 😂
the band is back?
I love inside jokes, I hope to be a part of one someday
just for fun! was looking at some old pics from rob
@slender lodge
I can't imagine how cruel Rob would have to be, to watch us not try spaces for 3 months, all while there's actually a space in there 😂
why are we pinging swa
It wouldn't be cruel, it would just be part of the puzzle. This tier is supposed to be easy, so if we DO need to use space (we might not need), saying that we need would make it too easy
Fair, but a scary thought nonetheless
I'm going to operate under the assumption we're still in pre-launch EE, remember this was expected to be solved long before the game arrived
I forgot swa only do LORE now.
summer 2023 
That's good, we need different ideas, so we can find the solution. If we all think the same, and go the same routes, we won't get far
you guys know what the atari, c64, and amiga and ROB all have in common?
they all are used to make Demoscenes, and we know rob was/is involved in that scene still
The demoscene is an international computer art subculture focused on producing demos: self-contained, sometimes extremely small, computer programs that produce audiovisual presentations. The purpose of a demo is to show off programming, visual art, and musical skills. Demos and other demoscene productions (graphics, music, videos, games) are sha...
he's referenced his.. I think "teams" - Team17, Insane
not only Rob but there are other 3....I am close to finding the last person.
"we" are still in the pre-launch EE-hunt 
but...?
I can ping you when we start level 3 so you can get a fresh start with the rest of us (if you want)
I would love to start now. I remember working on tier 1abc with all my time.
I'll try to read thru the padlet if thats still a thing
I've seen this pole/beam thing above Skyway Stadium in the OB trailer - any ideas what it is?
I know the document has been discontinuing
- T1ABC: average time 2 weeks, swa involved
- T1DEF - T3: average time 2 months, swa not involved
there's clearly only one solution
Those water tubes??
Space elevator? Lol
It's that optic fiber wire thats disconnected from that disconnected players pc
you know lvl 3 will start when YOU enter the password right?
It doesn't seem to be attached at the other end - it actually looks like a spacecraft
I was involved in D
that's where I gave up
anyways. Will try now 
Is it just for one frame? Does it move in other frames
it's in multiple frames
Have you guys looked at the neon night slinger video?
Maybe just some weird VR thing that projects the skybox?

But to be fair the password has been set pre-launch, so it shouldn't contain any spaces by that logic, and rob's goal is not to trick us
I never noticed this before, but when the cashout flies through the air in that trailer, it lands on a body outline spray on the ground haha
here it is before the cashout arrives
so is skyway stadium in space (or in outer earth orbit)? the moon is really big
Team17 could be related to the team that was involved with LIGO/Virgo discovery on Aug 17 2017, the hint was LIGO17 after all
yeah, that's what I thought, that it's in space (virtually)
Makes sense tho, Skyway Stadium
maybe theres some sort of space station in real life (meatspace) that it's based off of 
Or a movie?
Feels like deja vu seeing triangles in a dome from some space movie like that.
@unborn pilot I think I said it before, but thanks for the spreadsheet with the clues, it's really useful 💪🏻
that's what my thinking was too, because of the "dome" pattern you can see in the moon when you look up
Ok, we got a bit sidetracked, but do you guys agree these could be the 5 truths? 🤔
No problem. I just need to update it some more.
going back to the walk in a park stuff and checking out the different retextures of these pants
only the urban operative set has something that sticks out, which I'm sure people have noticed
it's interesting that the description was never changed for the urban operative set
a mix of the gun-runner pants and the ospuze pants were used in that one official artwork
the ospuze pants doesn't have anything shiny, everything is pretty matte
but the gun-runner pants have shiny bits and pieces, like the pants from the official artwork
Personally, yes. As for the 'two common threads', those are also Egg and Gold right? I'm still not sure how they combine, unless we follow that whiteboard diagram on Skyway.
tbh, I think the password is just "golden egg" with some weird modifier
I think Latin and Mirror are easy to figure out how to apply to a password, but not sure about Space 🤔
we got a translate to latin and mirror clue #easter-eggs message
my thinking is the password is geocache, and everything we've done this tier was teaching us what to apply to that word
or else, why would rob point out and confirm that cac shows up in geocache
If rob eyes em
the common link between the pants with identical descriptions is whatever the mag, ect. is coated with. kind of looks like silver. Only difference is that the shades of the coating are different.
Ohhh I didn't know about this. Then yeah, I'm 100% that's part of the password's modifier
Thanks for sharing
Hmmm
Then what about the space?
wait... that message has a space 😅
for me space is weird, because when we follow space clues, Rob only eyed the Nobel Prize connections, not the actual pulsar / wave leads
I was trying these:
muerua muvo
muvo murua
mu3rua muv0
muv0 murua
muiiirua muv
muv murua
he did eye the message about binary mergers
gold+egg+latin+mirrored+leet+space
Nobel Peace Prize was eye'd, "ab ovo" was eye'd, 🤔 "LIGO 17"
Hmmm what if instead of "ovum" as egg in Latin we use "ovo"? 🤔
Since I think there were clues that pointed to "ovo"
brb I've got 1000 password attempts to retry
paul klee finally comes in
That, yeah. "Ab Ovo" could just be Rob's way of saying we need to use "ovo" for egg in Latin
hmmm
ovo is a mirror 🤔
maybe Egg and mirror is ovo 🤔
and Latin
we could also try substituting aureum for geolu to tie in geocache clues weve gotten this tier
gold in latin is "aurum", so aurum ovo
#1175206999802249307 message just tried some more
there's also ovolo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovolo
is it possible that we need to use "egg latin"
for some reason "the gold standard" just came to me, but i think it's nothing, let's stick on this "ovo" train
geggoldeggeneggegg
what would it be in its latin counterparts
and are we going with golden egg or just gold?
because i feel like unless we have something pointing towards golden we should stick with gold unless yall feel golden is the way
"golden egg" was in the patchnotes
the only reason i think it might be golden is because of the patch notes clue
worth remembering that we only got the letters in the patch notes and we made goldenegg ourselves
not a 0% chance of that 'en' meaning something else
sticking on Oval's, there's Cassini oval's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassini_oval but that feels like a rabbit hole, it talks about the sun... maybe golden egg = the Sun, or a star, golden egg in space with a latin name, star in space with a latin name that can also be mirrored. just rambling a string of thoughts
i also feel like aurum might not be it because of the g = 6 clue from the 10 mil image
also has anyone run any of the audio from the the finals soundtrack in the spectrum graph or whatever its called?
Good idea ☝🏻
was just released today so wasnt sure if it had been touched or not
there's a track called "finally alive" which could have some lore implications
another thought, rob mentions "decipher" here, #easter-eggs message, we've had to use T9 cipher word for LIGO 17, so like we've all been saying, we have the password and then it's run through a cipher most likely
like the contestants are dead people who have thier brains uploaded to the VR world to entertain people
I was reading Orpheus & Eurydice 
I found a few of the track names interesting
finally alive, plugged in, you wouldn't be here without us, transcending realities

"...and the science gets done, and you make a neat VR, for the people who are...finally alive..."? 😛
AHH I LOVE P0RTAL
nice call out, 🤔
I can recall one message from Rob stating that we don't need to convert Gold to Au
Can't find it atm
I may or may not own a NECA ASHPD... 😇
au = "or" in latin
Some old scribble idea when Rob eyed 'What is gold egg?' #easter-eggs message
What is metal? What is rock? What is ovo? What is albumen?
gold or egg, au au ovo
does it actually go on your arm?
This one get cool if you notice. What is gold albumen > What is golden album?
coincidence they gave us soundtrack 
Discord doesn't like the high res, that's why I sent a screenshot 😛
thats so cool
"ovum aureum" = golden egg in Latin 🤔
🤫🧏♂️
you sure that wasn't related to the last gold answer instead of this one?
it was whenever the Gold Rush set came out, because people were talking about the sticker
rob loves to say "Here We Go" at the start of new tiers and such
I think it's actually "ovum aureum" - I tried a couple of translators
Rockdog, what do you think about these five truths? 😛
Gold
Egg
Latin
Space
Mirror
Huh, should we just be using "Au" for gold/golden in our password attempts?
No, just me sharing some extra love to all of you... that the majority of the other gamers don't even understand... ._.
au still might be relevant in some way
Good to know, thanks! 💪🏻
we also have a clue from Rob to leave the letter E out
and leaving out "o"
#easter-eggs message - Ernest Vincent Wright wrote a book (Gadsby) that didn't use the letter E
he actually used it 3 times
yeahhh but was that for this or the diamond clue?
E = 3 ?
maybe but we also have 3=iii
yes, e -> 3 -> iii
and g=6=vi
the 3 times he used it was in the word "the"
rob seems to keep hinting at things we know already, 0=o and so on
and some how latin plays in here, but is latin supposed to just be roman numeral reference?
we should probably try E removed completely (no E no 3 etc), and replaced with a 3 or iii
yeah, the Latin clue could just mean "use Roman numerals"
Hmmm
but is o=0=null mean no O based on #easter-eggs message
i also had a theory we needed to spell something using roman numerals, kinda like how "IVI" looks like M
CI kinda looks like a d
or a
its very annoying as everything we try we need to consider variations with/without an e or and o, swapping stuff into roman numerals, flipping backwards, etc. it really starts to bloat the possibilities
THE FINALS is the worlds greatest gameshow… Dragons are great, sounds like the belong in the game… ._.
-> y is missing from "they"
BTW I think I added this page a little bit over a year ago...
wefundapage-butwehavenocluedid anyone ever find that...?!
-> o is missing from "found"
No, it's actully not that hard... Hamlet = Ophelia = Five Truths... there are five things that have been true trough this entire level... combind them and you have the password...
-> a is missing from "actually"
-> e is missing from "combined"
You are correct, it’s been a common theme in clues, communication and hidden information for this entire level… but 0FC you have not found all of the clues and hidden messages (perhaps you found around 60-70% of all the clues provided)… but again you have all the information you need to crack this.!
-> 0 is used instead of O in "OFC"
Yes, so let's put all your collective knowledge together and proceed to the next level... (it's level 3 BTW, just in case you missed that... ._.
)
-> 3 has been used in the past as to replace e
Hmm... and NOW I realized that I didn't add an achivement for EE... note to self... "how do make an hidden EE'achivement that will be unique for every player, every time... that can't have been done in the history of gaming... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.!"
-> d is used instead of t in "to"
-> e is missing from "achievement"
Dusty draw that on my birthday card, I thought it was cute so I added it to the game to honor Dusty… ._.
-> a is used instead of e
yO dude.!
-> O is emphasized
rob thought this was going to be so easy, so he intentionally added a layer to decipher into this tier... I don't think we have to overthink what we've been taught
so those are some of the messages from rob and he tends to do stuff related to a and e
lego 😈
yeah, that too
basically, dont use any letters 😂
Yeah, the variations are infinite, that's why I think we need to understand the clues better instead of trying out many different passwords
I just tried hitting enter with nothing in the password box.
could be related to rob leaving out ae (#easter-eggs message):
Æ (lowercase: æ) is a character formed from the letters a and e, originally a ligature representing the Latin diphthong ae. It has been promoted to the status of a letter in some languages, including Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese. It was also used in Old Swedish before being changed to ä.
thank you
Maybe we can buy a vowel?
he keeps leaving out ae, but we were "taught" in this tier that e = 3
it seems we don't know exactly what "a" = ?
why do we need "a"? isnt the answer some form of goldegg or goldenegg?
in this tier weve been told
g = 6
e = 3
o = 0
not if we interpret robs recent eye about geocache as it being geocache
I'm trying to figure out what clues would take us back to that
the PW being geocache again feels a bit silly to me
we've also been taught "+1" due to 1064/1064
we could also interpret 5f137s2 as "to use the periodic table" ?
What was the message again? 🤔
I'm wondering if all the space clues somehow lead to GPS and that is what points back to geocache.. but can't be certain
I think it would be ok if it relates to geocache, but we haven't really had lots of clues pointing to it being geocache
true, but rob has eyed things regarding "the beginning" or "where we started"
GPS is "global" meaning the sats are pointing back at earth VS the clues we got were things pointing out to space 🤷♂️
I think this just means that we'll need that again for the final level, but not necessarily relevant for this one
true - the beginning of gold is the neutron star collisions, so those clues could point to the start of the puzzle
ah, fair, it could mean that truthfully geocache is in fact not done but it technically doesn't confirm it's important for this tier
#easter-eggs message but then why this?
Again, could be future level
It's like "gold egg", we'll probably see more of that in the future (or if we look at Level 1)
doesnt it seem like pretty much all the clues point back to egg and gold?
it is true that aesop has ae
Yeah, this seem important
It does, that's why I think that'll be the answer for this tier
miraculum and in omni scientia
i think so too. its just how do we modify it correctly
the only reference to stone (caco3) I see in there though is the philosophers stone and I do not want to go down that route again
and caeser
i would try it
anyone got the link to the overall padlet we started for this level
ok I'm going to bed
it better be solved when I wake up 
the big one kyne started the other day

but were so close!
nooo soo eepy sleepy
😂
or close... then far.. then close.. then far
apparently ae is a common hint then:
- rob leaving out a and e
- aesop
- caesar

the illusion of proximity... ._.
when rob left out a and e in the same message, he left them out in that order #easter-eggs message

maybe if we all start talking like rob we'll figure out how he's thinking...R!
Sounds good to me.!
That is brilliant!
ah, the spiral to insanity continues
i agree..._.
@unkempt dune
The pair 'ae' or the single mushed together symbol 'æ', is not pronounced as two separate vowels. It comes (almost always) from a borrowing from Latin. In the original Latin it is pronounced as /ai/ (in IPA) or to rhyme with the word 'eye'. But, for whatever reason, it is usually pronounced as '/iy/' or "ee".
been thinking... rob said "we only need the password" not acknowledging the second part about encoding
but then this line of thought would completely eliminate everything we've come to understand.. ._.
eye.. and oye
It's an EE but we don't know yet what it means.
eye sounds like aye
i
aye and oye are something someone would typically say
geold evivi
aye as in "yes"
oye as in "hey"
geold cachevivi
VI has been used 5 times in previous passwords
gonna be really cringe if its something like that
It feels like it should end up spelling something that has a meaning we relate to - like the geoCAChe thing
look for anything that stands out
if you missed it, the geoCAChe was probably not the full picture #easter-eggs message
reached aevum from aye: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aye -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aevum
isn't there an angel tama on that one official artwork?
In scholastic philosophy, the aevum (also called aeviternity) is the temporal mode of existence experienced by angels and by the saints in heaven.
it's still not lost on how me how mad we're going to be at ourselves when we finally get the password
we've gotta be over what, 3k guesses now?
viold + evivi 6+66 (6+366)
5f137s2 + vit3llus 51372+3 (51372 + 63)
lxxix + cacoiii 79+3
1064 0vif0rm 1064+0 (1064 + 6)
72 (372)
51375 (51435)
82
1064 (1070)
do we not count VI in oviform being 6/g?
I have not been no
what if thats what were missing
converting previous passwords into its key
or known key
vi is used 5 seperate times
then you'd also want to include the vi in vit3llus, the o in viold, the e in evivi, the o in cacoiii
i mean we dont have anything else better to do at this point lol
and 3 or iii is only used 3 times
x=10
you could say 6 or vi is used 6 times
L=50 right?
it'd be funny if this is why rob gives eyes
or well, not the reason, but the eyes are related to the EE
aka, rob's eyes having a double meaning
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = ???, it's tier 3, three, geoCAChe CACoiii, brain hurting, ae
If you guys solve this before I wake up tomorrow I will name my first born child whatever the answer is.
Xaea12 you aren't eating your mashed peas!
Vivienne would almost fall into the realm of being a pw haha
can we say gold as the number 79? or LXXIX
ae - latin diphthong
caesar - roman general
aesop - has story with golden egg
??? - space
??? - mirror
space and mirror can technically be together. doesn't matter either way as long as there's a word that has ae that matches all the clues previously provided and it's related to space and a mirror
alright bear with me here, rob uses smart language
#1204573219894468648 message
'yes for the next tier you do.
'
when rob responds to our questions about having everything we need, he keeps referencing the next tier
i think he refers for t3 that is the next tier so we are in T2
weve spent so long trying to solve tier 3 we accidentally found all the clues for t1 of level 3
golden egg represents fortune, like a jackpot
can be Ancient Rome?
what can?
the space and mirror is have something about Ancient Rome for use of "Latin" "Caesar" and "Aesop"
anything is possible as long as the word has ae and is somehow related to previous clues
Maybe that's why Elon named his kid that. lol
this is what I have right now:
ae - latin diphthong
caesar - roman general
aesop - has story with golden egg
alpha vulpeculae - star in space named anser
??? - mirror
I seriously think this might be it
my bad
Speculae?
oo
that could be it
it also related to latin as well
so it'd be:
ae - latin diphthong
caesar - roman general
aesop - has story with golden egg
alpha vulpeculae - star in space named anser
speculae - mirrors in latin
this is what links together all the 5 truths
gonna go check something
the ae hint came from:
No, it's actully not that hard... Hamlet = Ophelia = Five Truths... there are five things that have been true trough this entire level... combind them and you have the password...
Laertes is mentioned in Act 4, Scene 5 of Hamlet, which has Ophelia and rob has previously quoted this section of Hamlet
Laertes has been mentioned previously as a hint I believe?
"Ophelia is referred to as a rose by Laertes" #easter-eggs message only 2 messages come up when searching for laertes
Not seeing anything from Rob about this
I don't think rob would directly mention something that's close to the answer
No he wouldn't but not sure what clue you are referring to then?
let me go check what I'm thinking of
This could help solidify my Yorick Skull stuff.
just putting it out there, this seems like a time we were really close to the password: #easter-eggs message
I'm thinking of laureates, which were eyed by rob and is related to nobel prizes
Hmmm a bit of a stretch
clipeus aureus = gold medal in latin, just thinking again on the time Smashel was super close and got Nobel Prize in Physics and "which is a medal made of gold" eye'd by Rob
I'm wondering what Laertes leads to
Devx got eyes on binary systems but did not get eyes after on binary pulsars. So we can rule those out.
pretty sure there's a reason rob quoted that specific act and scene from hamlet
rosemary is mentioned in that scene
it's also the scene that mentions Saint Valentine’s day
(Ignore Me) idk how but i end up in Judaea and Vespasian XD
.. hm, more about combining binary than it is the binary stars
Ya I'm kinda trying to work backwards a bit on a few things.
Just eliminate things surrounding the things that get eyes
feel like binary is just a 2 reference but i could be wrong
I have a theory about 16 Psyche the golden egg shaped asteroid.
Could be but other clues point to binary systems and gravitational waves.
collision of binary systems... collision of gold and egg 🫠 from here #easter-eggs message
gonna go to Embark Studios and find the D64 rob is hiding that has this all stored on it
i support that idea 
Oh neat I can post gifs from mobile even though I'm not of rank yet?
ingoring hamlet for now.. let's say if you combine all of the truths, you'd get ae and that'd be the password
but maybe it's something related to ae and not directly ae
Psyche is described as a butterfly. Which undergoes a metamorphosis in a chrysalis.
File Extension OYE has zero unique file types (with the primary being the Binary Data format) and is mostly associated with Binary Data (Unknown Developer).
I'm going insane
How long ago was it created?
last updated december 15 2023
Could you convert images to that file format?
ques.oye tion.oye
doubt it I can't find legit any information online besides this thing, so my guess is it's fake
hmm alright, doesn't seem like a great lead anyway
this is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albertus_Magnus 's wikipedia page. Rob previously quoted him. #easter-eggs message
I'm pretty sure that quote from him was a hint for ae as well
Can you link the quote? Just want to have everything contained.
Ya just keep in mind we technically have everything we needs so don't dig those rabbit holes too deep
I thought I recognized this picture when I saw it
and I realized I saw it on the padlet
no digging, just connecting
reinforcing the idea that ae is a key to the password
Atsuhiro great job, we have to be on to something
it's definitely something
the question is what?
anyone have hd screenshots of the two whiteboards in skyway?
in:#easter-eggs has: image whiteboard
put that into discord search
also, there's Euler's number, which uses e
Animæ would be another name for Psyche
hold up..
an upside down A in math is:
It's called the universal quantification symbol, it's a shorthand character in symbolic logic. It's read as “for all” when written in a string of symbols when say, writing a formal proof.
rob keep saying "all"
"you have it all" #easter-eggs message
A E
∀e
the whiteboard does have an upsidedown A
this?
mhm
there's also what looks to be this symbol on the whiteboard:
The symbol ∈ indicates set membership and means “is an element of”
an empty set { } was a hint/connection previously
Common notations for the empty set include "{ }", "
∅, and "∅"
seriously, rob uses "all" a lot
apply all the ciphers to goldenegg
about ∀ some more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_quantification
For all natural numbers n, one has 2·n = n + n.
mentions natural numbers, aka e
reminds me of the addition stuff that was done earlier in this tier
turned a: ɐ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turned_A)
turned e: ǝ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ǝ)
see the capital form of a turned e? Ǝ
rob did say that passWORDS are lowercase #easter-eggs message
only words are lowercase
ae itself isn't a word per say
this led me to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantifier_(logic)
The most commonly used quantifiers are ∀ and ∃. These quantifiers are standardly defined as duals; in classical logic, they are interdefinable using negation
bit of a stretch here
mhm
could be coincidence
You also might be on some stuff that we need for later tiers
if you draw a line around the lines it makes a lowercase g
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = ???
not a huge math person, but this could be related to quantifier logic
hold up..
the empty set
interesting a truth is mentioned here as well
we believe the 5 truths to be:
Gold
Egg
Latin
Space
Mirror
you are going to find "truths" and "proofs" all over maths related articles
oh I know
not saying this is a truth
just mentioned it was interesting
aeo
O has been replaced with 0 by rob #easter-eggs message
this discord font doesn't show it, but when you write a zero, you typically use a line to make people know it's a zero and not an O
a, e, and o keep popping up
empty set was mentioned during a previous tier of this level
∅ ya like this
its derrived from the Danish and Norwegian alphabets
it's also interesting that the white board has what looks to be the A and E symbols
and they relate back to euler
There is also an Andre here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_Weil
care to explain andre?
This message from Rob mentions an Andre
#1201288968562552863 message
I have linked it to this and the skull of yorick
This began in his doctoral work leading to the Mordell–Weil theorem
which mentions A and E https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordell–Weil_theorem
a quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/André_Weil:
He also chose the symbol ∅, derived from the letter Ø in the Norwegian alphabet (which he alone among the Bourbaki group was familiar with), to represent the empty set.[28]
empty set mentioned again
not to derail this conversation but a truth is also found in my Psyche connection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VERITAS_(spacecraft)
it is the mission that follows the Psyche space mission
It's barely visible for me w/ these settings. Did you do post processing as well?
honestly, that looks like a natural e #easter-eggs message
i think a tiny bit, but i recreated it in a second with those settings
I'm also going to point out that rob put the white rabbits in the letter a
some could argue it's unrelated, but rob could have done that for fun
i used post processing after to clean up the font and reverse search it to find the exact one, but otherwise minimal work on this one
what looks like a natural e?
added a link
I kinda see it ya
we were supposed to be able to get to euler from the first two images
it'd make sense for a natural e to be in one of them
@coarse dagger interesting thing I noticed. Some of the images say PNG in the file name but when download they’re actually JPG. I can’t understand why that would be the case on a few but not others
but if it is a natural e, that'd mean there's probably an a somewhere as well
The only reasoning is he renamed the file including extension after but the file is still JPG
whats the link to original
i use this non stop (even now to find) -> from: rob_embark has: image
@turbid tinsel #easter-eggs message
taking a look at tfee_ques.jpg this looks like it could be a four leaf clover (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clover) and clovers are a part of the plantae kingdom
could also be a cross of some kind
an observation about the roses in the shooting range:
There are five red roses, four on the ground one higher up on the bench. There are also five red static enemies, four on ground level and one higher up on the roof.
I'm thinking the roses are somehow connected to these five enemies. Doing some testing now.
May have already been observed, but idk where to find that info.
lots of subjects in threads
Ya feel free to post in main thread til you level up though @grave otter
thx
Honestly tho, when I see this pic, it just reminds me of a rocket. Why is it upside down? Idk. Maybe the whole mirror thing. Don’t they use gold for Spaceships?
Also have Apollo been brought up for anything?
I’m just throwing out ideas to hopefully jumpstart some brains. lol
what's interesting is that if this is a natural e, that means it's a part of the ques / tion
Gold is used for a lot of space related things and in all sorts of technology
Hmm. Well….damn. That could be anything
question = quæstio in latin
quaestio can be related back to rome/roman https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaestio_perpetua
as well as a caesar
Ya very broad area of discussion. We really need to try and focus on what we have which is GOLD + EGG. How we can apply the 5 truths we have in order to figure out the password decryption.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_question
The Roman question (Italian: Questione romana; Latin: Quaestio Romana)[1] was a dispute regarding the temporal power of the popes as rulers of a civil territory in the context of the Italian Risorgimento. It ended with the Lateran Pacts between King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy and Pope Pius XI in 1929.
Maaaan WE been trying to figure that out in the beginning of T3.
“A walk in the park”, my ass! Lol
all high crimes
I really thought with these new art pics/clues Rob gave us was going to end all of this and finally move on to Level 3. I’m just more confused than ever. 😅😭
also, think about it, rob has mentioned Ernest Vincent Wright #easter-eggs message, who wrote Gadsby:
Gadsby is a 1939 novel by Ernest Vincent Wright which includes only four words that contain the letter E, the most common letter in English. A work that deliberately avoids certain letters is known as a lipogram.
which can further hint e
found this interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel_diagram
random thought, w1 and w2 could stand for word 1 and word 2
or wall 1 and point 1
that too
what's interesting is that a, b, c or anything of the sort isn't used
why use the same letter twice, but with different numbers?
p1 is more reasonable, although still odd
Width 1, Width 2
and maybe Pi(π)?
Those triangles look isosceles not equilateral
could stand for width 1 and width 2
can't be an equilateral one if w1 and w2 are being used
if they were the same lengths, it'd be w1 and w1
and no need for a line down the middle
i mean, you could stil have w1 = w2
dunno if it helps us with goldegg
the top one looks like p3 though so maybe its just p1
These are the questions i have:
- are we using goldegg or goldenegg? and why?
- does g = 6 or vi? or is g just g
- is o = 0 or is it removed?
- does e = 3 or iii? or stay as 3?
- are we removing the e?
- are we reversing anything? whole word or just pieces?
- if d is reversed, does it change to a b?
- can "ld" change to anything that would make sense?
- are we substituing the individual words? gold = au and egg = ovum?
I think that's something that can't be answered yet
yet? when the hell are we gonna be able to start making some decisions?
I don't think we need to worry about transformations for this one
we first need to find a word (or words) that sticks out like none other
that's the #1 priority imo
gold egg....
if those were the words that stood out like none other, then we would have solved it by now
not saying that they can't be related to the answer
I'm just saying I don't think the password is gold egg with transformations made to those letters
- ques-tion imags: one is gold color, the other egg color
- paul klee: lots of egg related paintings
- ligo/bell: gold (noble medal)
- vvv image: nama = egg, laurel crown + mirror = gold
- the two common themes within this level's previous pw's = gold/egg
🤷♂️
tell me a word that sticks out more than gold egg with the clues we have
speaking of bell, I need to get this off my clipboard:
rob has mentioned bells previously and this this includes, sets (empty set), bell(s), and triangles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_triangle
counting partitions of the same set of n + 1 items in which only the first item is a singleton. Their augmented triangle is ...
They aren't saying it isn't that for sure but that something else might provide us with a decryption method.
that's what I am looking for
like earlier, don't have an answer yet
rob told us to combine the five truths to get the password
right now I'm looking into that
found a really funny coincidence (don't think this is related at all): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hess_triangle
The plaque is an isosceles triangle, with a 25+1⁄2-inch (65 cm) base and 27+1⁄2-inch (70 cm) legs (sides).[1]
the crack is like an X and the middle is an a
By 5 truths, I think they are saying that one from gold and egg is the same based on this thing
I don't understand the context here with the picture you replied to?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_triangle_(mathematics)
A golden triangle, also called a sublime triangle,[1] is an isosceles triangle in which the duplicated side is in the golden ratio...
One of the 3 triangle has straight line not dotted line
anyway, back to ae
Still not sure what you are trying to get at here? It's bisecting the triangle to show it can be split into 2 right angle triangles
Speaking of golden triangles (and the golden ratio by extension) we would also arrive at fractals, which are infinite and brings me back to Shakespeare/Hamlet "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest." (Act V, Scene 1)
also people used to paint with egg whites
😅 I was looking at the wrong image
Maybe we are supposed to convert viold and evivi to binary and use AND operation?
What is d`id`?
431114249312 ?
Imagine that the roman numerals rob gave us were a key for the password
uh so i just got a broadcast involving something said of CNS and that it isnt blocked by volpe i dont got no recording of it but it did have a similar look to what yall been doin (idk if this had been found already but incase not it happened on startup of the finals)
🕯️ Infinite Jest is also a great book in and of itself.
#1209839696729874472 we already have a thread about it. feel free to look into it and see what have been found there 🙂
Bell -> 0b011?
Am I the only one that has realised when u shoot one of the big goo drops they all drop down and form an L
from the image with the missing cao3 keys and the dhl- pressed keys, we used cao3 for tier 1E. Where did we use dhl- ?
Solis ?
Love
we had Gold, Egg, Eggshell, Egg Yolk referenzies in the pw's, what about egg white?
I'm sure the password is so BASIC
basic you say? 😏 like the langauge
Albumen has been discussed check out this message to get up to speed 😀 #easter-eggs message
Just throwing it there to see if it sticks 😉
😩
yur
I just realized smth, if we take what I found out at face value, just like the conclusion. I wrapped the PADME connection into the birth of gold which gave us Fermium and Einsteinium which wraps into the maniac computer, which is at los alamos the site of the first nuclear bomb's creation. That gives us the last 4 elements of the Actinides here. Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, and Nobelium all side by side.
Einsteinium |1952| As a product of nuclear explosion
Fermium |1952| As a product of nuclear explosion
Mendelevium |1955| Bombarding 253Es with α-particles
Nobelium |1965| Bombarding 243Am with 15N or 238U with 22Ne
Mendelevium is made by bombarding Einsteinium
Nobelium is made by bombarding Americium with Nitrogen, or Uranium with Neon
That's called The Boing Ball (one of Amiga's logos)
This image from Amiga's Wikipedia page looks a bit like the thing overlayed on top of rob (from Error level analysis)
(it's not the same tho)
What in the realistic angel fever dream is this?
It's to demonstrate the colors of the Amiga
I vaguely remember this on advertising from when I was a kid lol
Went to holtow.com downloaded the gif. Looked at each frame and found the following that stood out of the 108 frames.
Am I on to something?
Already found my friend
Nah just how it is with the image forensics anything that's kind of obvious is grabbed very quickly.
I seeeeeeeeeeee
If you didn't have to manipulate the image with some sort of software it's probably known
No worries tho, i believe there is something hidden deeper within it
You can use discord search to check stuff like that it's pretty robust and user friendly
I'm only good at audio forensics. I didn't think it would go that deep.
Well that is a very good asset to have.
You could look at the OST for the game, might find something interesting
Il have a look when I'm home
any chance the selected gray box at the bottom has an important hex code
?
Not sure what you mean tho, this is from Wikipedia, not from Rob
nope
Okay, so If the image itself gets enough references though the image IT could have importance to where forensics like that could help get info, rob seems to often use wiki in making these so he could have used that to get us to look at the hex code, that's a lot of the type of pathing I've been going on. Like I had to go to the wiki page of RPO to get to a video and the video itself had the reference to Asaph hall and Ares' moons which I only knew to look for because of another set of clues. So he could have used a hex code in a wiki page he's referenced to link to another clue if there's something that aligns with it.
It could be unrelated also though so I was just saying
It's not a bad idea, but based on what he implied I don't think we need to go into something that intricate for this one 🤔
if it has a hex code that does relate to something yk
Mhhhhhhhh I don't know bc the entire line of thinking I had w/asaph hall kindddaa came from an Amiga/Atari game and happened to tie in neatly with my astronomy/mythology work 😅
it seems like he wanted us to figure out that the clues are now being given in a "Project Euler" style where you have to use interconnected clue strands to lead ourselves to something that will be a part of answering a mathematical/cypher related clue
walk in the park might have literally just been part of getting us to think about geese and the golden goose which is where we got golden egg on god 💀
as well as some other stuff ofc but it seems like it's not really meant to be thaaat simple.. idkk
OYE makes me think simple also... but simple could also just mean like following breadcrumb clues which is more similar to project euler stuff rather than getting all complex with following math equations and trying to relate them to a cypher instead of just looking at the clues and seeing where they trace to and what connects to them
I think it's telling us that direct clues are gonna be a little more spaced out and that we should probably be working on tracing around where clues lead us to by finding the names and numbers that relate inside of clues to find where to look for more so that you can make yourself a walkway out to new clues
which at the end will wrap up into words that we need
which would relate to the ending of a section and then give us a "word" we need to use on the cypher
like AVUM
The Amiga sphere might be refering to Euler angles, which are about 3d rotations
yeahh that could be sumnn
you know, when rob says OYE he wants you to look at something #easter-eggs message
it could be a form of "eyes"
say oye with an s at the end and it sounds very similar
eyes, but with an accent
for example, he used OYE in a response to this message: #easter-eggs message
1064
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (00)
cacoiii (3)
vit3llus (3)
viold (6)
evivi(66)gonna take this mobile and go bang my head on a wall until I think of something
I find this part really interesting even though it wasn't pointed out:
viold evievi (666)
and 6, 6, 6 did appear in the tfee_ques.jpg
but maybe he used OYE because he couldn't use eyes
Rob did mention he would stop eyeing repeat clues we bring up so I’m guessing hes pushing us to “open your eyes” cause we’ve already picked up some of those clues before no?
hmmmmmmmmmmmm'
Zaraby is the modern name for a small cemetery in the western desert near the modern village with that name. Mackay excavated 126 tombs. They belong to the end of the Old Kingdom
this is the only casino under sand
in the middle of making connections my own connections and I find it interesting that the 404 page was by rob and includes "luck" and "promise"
Is the 4 leaf clover confirmed? Seems a bit of a stretch to me
someone posted about this earlier this week iirc and i just got it as well
better angle
for now im not sure but i might have found the second Beta(?)
tried many things but mainly
#easter-eggs message
must be something
i'll share all steps if i find better and acceptable clue
did you see my rant about ae last night?
It seems to come from that spotlight and to point straight at that triangle
can you link
it's a long rant
but that's what started it
and it could related back to what you're seeing
the next part where I notice aesop has ae: #easter-eggs message
guiny points out caesar does as well: #easter-eggs message
trying to relate ae back to the five truths: #easter-eggs message
albert comes up again: #easter-eggs message
i'm waiting to Rob come tbh, then will get to work again
Monkey/Graffiti Monaco
I may have run into simultaneously the dumbest, but best idea accidentally (most likely dumb, I'm pretty sick rn)
did rob ever use anything scrabble related in the past?
Some stuff was weakly related to Wordle
i can't help but shake the idea that a scrabble tile looks an awful lot like scientific notation, and i believe a crossword was one of the first major clues this tier
i was looking up anagrams for geocache and this looked super sus tbh
G2E1O1C3A1C3H4E1 (but with lil tiny sub script letters i dunno how to put in)
16 points, dunno if 16 means anything to anybody
101 could refer to IOI from ready player one
Based on how many "binary stars" there are in the clues I highly suspect we might have to do a few binary things
Maybe we just need a password that is in binary
Just in case there's anything to the scrabble thing, this should stand out to Rob
Here's something I kind of uncovered: with the CNS hacks and their message "one night, three dawns" I realized that there are three goddesses of dawn in various culture's mythos:
There's Aurora, the goddess of dawn in Roman mythology
There's Eos, the goddess of the dawn in Greek mythology
And there's Ushas, the Vedic goddess of dawn in Hinduism.
On top of that, all three of these goddesses are related to gold in one way or another - The Latin word for gold, aurum, literally derives from the Greek word Aurora, the goddess. Eos was described by Sappho as having "golden arms and golden sandals," and Publius Ovidius Naso (otherwise known as "Ovid") described her as "golden". Lastly, Ushas is portrayed as a beautifully adorned young woman riding in a golden chariot or a hundred chariots, drawn by golden-red horses or cows"
I haven't been keeping up with too much of the chat recently so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not
this is pretty interestingg. Aurora and Eos already have a bit of a connection which I noticed on this page talking about different OS systems and I've ran into some things with hinduism but I haven't dived deep into that yet.. 
We aren't mixing Greek and Roman though
was that rob or did someone else eye that 
I'm not sure what G2E would be, but Ready Player One has an organization called IOI in it, CACHE would be C3A1C3H4E1. C3H4 is the compound Propyne and that leaves over the hex code #C3A1E1
did rob say that greek and roman aren't being mixed?
g2e is the name for the global gaming expo
gambling based
At least with the languages yes
gotcha, I have no idea where my theory lands in that since it's mythology rather than language stuff but I guess we'll see
He said it here
It's not relevant since I choose not to confuse you with a mix of Latin and Greek... ._.
Ya I've been talking about Psyche and Cupid but no eyes, but Psyche leads to an M-type asteroid and the spacecraft being sent to explore it as well
Psyche in Latin would be Animæ and Cupid would be Cupido
Another thing to consider is that Aurora, Eos, and Ushas obviously aren't the only three Goddesses of dawn - There's the Slavic "Zorya," Japanese "Ame-no-Uzume," and the Nuristani "Disani." I was choosing the specific three that I did because all three of them branch out from this Indo-European dawn goddess, "Hausos"
Not sure we should be straying into other cultures yet. Not really had any indication to do so. Just Latin.
this was an interesting find and I don't think it's come up before:
- In geometry the n-ellipse is a generalization of the ellipse allowing more than two foci.
- Another name for this is an egglipse
curious if this might touch on the brrw stuff more, but interesting nonetheless
If we take the 5 truths first letter Mirror, Space, Latin, Gold and Egg
We convert those to numbers M -> 1000, S -> 5, L -> 50, G -> 6, E -> 3
We add it all it gives 1064 ._.
Full circle huh
there we go, there's our password lmao
that would be such a troll from rob if that was the password
What do we say when it looks like a coincidence?
If that was intentional, we have to determine whether
- the five truths lead us to 1064
- 1064 leads us to the five truths
Psyche and Cupid seems like it was a gold egg connection to Project discovery which involves Psyche and Lucy... I've mainly been going from naming conventions and threads in this style where one thing will be discovered and usable as a connection for something else.
Pschye seems to be our lead to Project discovery which is our connection to Phobos and Deimos through Asaph hall who we found through the Discovery video mentioned in ready player one.
Giving us the Einsteinium to our Fermium in the connection with the "Birth of Gold" through R-processes which is where Yellow supergiants and such create their heavy metals
Asaph halls contemporary who created the Monte Carlo Method (named after a casino in Monaco), Stanislaw Ulma, was apart of the "Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem"
Which is where we get our connection to Fermi. Fermi and that entire team worked on creating the MANIAC computer in Los Alamos
Los alamos is where they worked on creating the atomic bomb as well as those two elements which were the results of the explosion.
Stanislaw Ulma also was linked with Art3mis, the mythological figure and love interest in ready player one, through his "Project Orion" (Artemis was the one who set orion in the stars mythologically) which then became the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem
I don’t think the t3 password is going to incorporate anything new. I would think it would borrow a little from each tier before it
Rob thought we would solve it almost immediately
We probably have found the password, just missing that last step of encryption
wait oh my god
Gold Egg
is meant to be the fucking easter egg
the thing the hunt is for
he's just referencing us to the stage of the birth of it
and then it's gonna have us continue from there on how to actually find the golden egg
rob you sneaky bastard
wait thinking about it, this theme of circling back to the start appears all over this mythology stuff I've been doing and it could be the method to solve T3
if we find what circles back to each individual password
and climb up them
we might be able to find the link to the next password
Also one thing that I got before is the hercules-corona borealis wall which is a map of Gamma ray burts and tied with what I was looking into in mythology which may have been referenced in the name for something that looked very similar to the pulsing of the brrw gif. Also the brrw gif leads directly to the Sega Titan's chip as referenced on the padlet for it and Titan's are a large figure in mythology and it seems like they may be coming up in some future references linked to the Amiga
facts, it could reference the lines of thinking necessary to get to some of these conclusions and to be tied back to new ones we find for more information tbh

Am I missing anything?
Background color of the white question mark is egg shell colored iirc
It's a gradient, there are too many colors to single out any, but the whole texture resembles egg shell
geocache brainstorm;
geo gives us order number we need for 630.
630CaChe includes tier 2 (g=6), tier 1F (e=3), tier 1E (Cac.o3), tier 1D (o=0). What's left is 'he', or geocache is egg related only, due to egg related tier passwords.
I feel as 'he' is the unknown part, that's the thing we need to work out to help us here
Ca.C.He can be broken down to numbers via periodic table. 20, 6, 2
Or Cac03 - Cache means h=0 e=3
h0 is called the null hypothesis
Ooo
ok, found something VERY interesting: Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz
- He invented Calculus independently of Newton, and we use Leibniz's notation, which uses dx and dy to represent infinitely small (or infinitesimal) incerements of x and y.
- An an infinitesimal number is a quantity that is closer to 0 than any standard real number, but that is not 0. (our null/0 connections and rob's tiny comment)
#easter-eggs message
- The best part of all: in 1666 he wrote his first book called De Arte Combinatoria
Okay so basically
- inspired by Ramon Llull's Ars Magna, it contained **a proof of the existence of God, cast in geometrical form, **and based on the argument from motion.
is the question, does God exist?
I dunno why exactly, but this dude seems mega important
Which would explain all the mythology... and the question of why AVUM.. the grandfather could be god and now the next question is who is the Son of God just like the son of hermes and son of posideon, son of ares references in the way we got to get to 2ABC and 2DEF so now we need to look at Jesus maybe??
rat, what the hell does this mean
the entire text, not just that one message
I'm not sure where this relates to our T3 clues
Bro for every fucking thing I think of?
yes
It was one thread to explain the shit I was doing in mythology not everything Jesus
💀
I still need to talk to you guys lmao
bro you have written at least 10,000 words in the past week
and half of it is from wikipedia
Okay bro im still not completely hijacking main chat rn or anything tho im just talking dog 💀you're deadass acting like you're kicking me out of ee chat
um no im not im just saying articulate your paragraphs better
Wiki is a huge part of what we look through and a good chunk of it is how stuff connect between pages
I am trying
this
I was literally asked to do that
To separate points
I've gtg rn ive got my sisters bday party ttyl
ok 🙂
Have we gotten any closer?
ask rat
I feel working out the geocache connection is the main lead rn
go ahead, anything is useful
To me, geocache points to egg. All substitutes possible for geocache (g6 e3 o0 cac03) come from egg passwords
We broke through in some interesting ground for sure
Definitely
Is the padlet updated? Or has a TLDR version? Anywhere I can look into today?
best place is google doc for most recent eyes
@opaque thistle can you answer my question when your back, you missed it and I can not tell what you are saying
Im trying to think of how to tbh
so even you dont know
somewhere it is a tradition that there will be hidden 2 kinds of easter eggs on eastern. normal eggs. and golden eggs which would have money in them
Its just a little much to try to think abt and its like 90% speculative but seems very interesting with how we're following the birth of gold and the goose laid the golden egg and in RPO and in cultures aparently the easter egg can be represented as gold
Right. Is that doc for the curretn tier or for all EEs?
Makes more sense to be following something like the birth of gold and the questioning of who is God honestly. Still could be meta referencing an ee hunt tho
the doc just has every message rob ever eyed
its used for all messages rob eyed

Rob eyes mean someone is 100% about an EE, not any specific one.
Sorry. Yes! Where are we at with the main hunt? Any thread we are currently following?
