#easter-eggs message

[unkempt dune]

also interesting X shape on the gold mask at one point

[bronze wolf]

that gold mask really does look like the goldegg sauna thing now that i think of it

mask description is kinda sus with our focus on geocache lately

[hazy fable]

Hows the lore going?

[gloomy anvil]

#📕┇lore

[unkempt dune]

the trailer also has inflatables on Seoul, which I've never seen before

[hazy fable]

It might off been scrapped

[plucky kettle]

damn that trailer looks like it was made in miniture scale or something

[verbal minnow]

You can hear what I'm referencing at the end of this video at the red screen https://youtu.be/uxloMQgfoYI?si=lX4GFApuImtZ8JyZ

[quick yacht]

I haven't been on here that often. Notice people talking about the moon. Has anyone else seen yellow moon?

[dawn coral]

like clicking almost, with a tweeting sorta noise too 🤔

[verbal minnow]

I know it's probably just me but could it be related to the blinking on the moon on vegas?

[dawn coral]

🤷‍♂️ as with most things people bring up in here, it's just a matter of investigating, it seems people have connected so many things to the EE.

[verbal minnow]

I can check when I get back from work

i'd like to

[quick yacht]

I got pic of it

[verbal minnow]

of what

[quick yacht]

Of a yellow moon

On map

[verbal minnow]

how does this happen?

[plucky kettle]

ive not heard of that

[quick yacht]

Don't know that why I was curious about people talking about the moon

[dawn coral]

we've seen the regular moon, and the 'blood' moon as people have called it.

not yet seen a yellow one. have you got pics?

[quick yacht]

Yeah I can't post pic if someone can add me to send the pic

[verbal minnow]

3 dawns is what CNS says right?

[quick yacht]

Right

[verbal minnow]

you can upload to imgur then send that

[verbal minnow]

3 colored moons

red yellow and white, what can we find thats like that

[unkempt dune]

let's just say I tested some stuff, and that statue in monaco is definitely indestructible

[verbal minnow]

what color are the trails from the fighter jets

[quick yacht]

I got the picture on my playstation just not that tech savvy

[verbal minnow]

dw about it

[quick yacht]

If you're on playstation I uploaded to the app? The yellow moon

[verbal minnow]

naw man I got an Xbox

sorry

[quick yacht]

Don't know how to actually share the photo from my ps5 lol

[verbal minnow]

I know it sounds kinda dumb but like take a picture of your monitor/tv

with your phone

[quick yacht]

I know just wanted to upload the actual photos lol I got it now what do I do lol

[solid jay]

send it to me i'll post it if it's legit

[verbal minnow]

do that

[bronze wolf]

@solid jay ooo, rocking the red now

[solid jay]

you don't have any colourblind settings on that might change the colour of the moon from blood red to yellow by chance?

[quick yacht]

I don't have anything the actual affects the TV like that on

Sent @solid jay the pictures

[solid jay]

Doesn't look like anything tbh just weird colour settings on the monitor?

[quick yacht]

It's up to you'll i didn't alter anything with my settings that could change the moon it stay white, red and yellow... make the moon yellow if you can then? Cause idk lol

[eternal violet]

so has anyone managed to destroy that indestructible statue?

i would like to try but i dont know where it is

[plucky kettle]

if its indestructable...

you sorta

cant

break it?

[eternal violet]

well people say the wrecking ball can break some indestructable structures

[plucky kettle]

then get the wreaking ball and try the ones in the park in monaco maybe

[sand crest]

you probably need a full team of heavies in a quick match to do this.. and a lot of lobby skipping

[plucky kettle]

lol true

+all the explosives you can get

[sand crest]

i mean the ball detaches easily iirc

[unkempt dune]

can't

already tried

[plucky kettle]

yep

[sand crest]

tried destroying the statue with the ball?

[rotund charm]

https://youtu.be/xIdhPmPMUXE?si=INzuHYiMvBfmkhJK seems significant. Almost looks like an elephant maybe?

[velvet narwhal]

We already saw that video. Haven't really got to anything with it. Could also be nothing

[rotund charm]

Okay

[quaint wing]

You upset me 😦

[snow walrus]

iirc that "i" was coming from here: stinging

@quaint wing

[quaint wing]

If it was updated though so it was all just goldenegg, then my theory has no merit anymore 😢 Dream me was so much better

[brisk hearth]

guys, i think my dog just found the easter egg....

[stable blade]

Your dog is so adorable lol.

[brisk hearth]

shes a riot 😆

[unkempt dune]

one thing I've been wondering.. when we talk about eggs in this ee-hunt

what kind of egg is it?

what's the difference between a goose egg and a chicken egg?

[minor tinsel]

You Know what for Eggs I want?

Fried egg!

[brisk hearth]

the yolk

[minor tinsel]

The Difference is also I think the yolk

[wanton ember]

Has the knocking sound effect and voiceline been discovered on vegas yet? I was playing a round on vegas last night and when i was near a vent I could hear knocking and a voice talking. Should I investigate or do we already know about this?

[unkempt dune]

depends on where you heard this

[velvet narwhal]

is it near those posters?

[wanton ember]

yeee exactly then some music played

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah we already found that. It's a swedish band https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/In-Game_Easter_Eggs#Death_By_Rhodent

[wanton ember]

bet bet 🤝

[minor tinsel]

Guys, Just A Question The Music which we can Hear At the small stand, Which Band is that ? I Like the Music 👍

[unkempt dune]

funny thing, apparently goose egg is "a zero score in a game"

[bronze wolf]

The description from the gold mask leading me to this term: Geomorph

this is a deep rabbit hole that doesn't seem like an accident, and anybody who knows a bit about comp sci might be ale to understand some of it, cause i don't

• Geomorph is also a software package containing a number of functions

[unkempt dune]

geomorph in this context is probably referring to LODs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popping_(computer_graphics)

the mask has a low poly asthetic

the mask is a mesh, which has geometry

geometry class is probably just referring to the LOD-kind of geometry

[vital oar]

Roses EE:

https://youtu.be/fvc46GRInfA

Someone posted this already once but upon inspection, the white square seems to be visible from three locations (all where the coffee place is): both umbrellas and the sun shade at the door. In the middle of the white square there seems to be a much clearer white dot which seems to be flashing. looks like morse code?

[unkempt dune]

A narrative work beginning in medias res (Classical Latin: [ɪn ˈmɛdɪ.aːs ˈreːs], lit. "into the middle of things") opens in the midst of the plot (cf. ab ovo, ab initio).[1] Often, exposition is bypassed and filled in gradually, through dialogue, flashbacks or description of past events. For example, Hamlet begins after the death of Hamlet's father...

not sure if Hamlet is considered medias res or ab ovo, but I'm thinking it'd be medias res

[vital oar]

damn the quality is pretty bad i just noticed sorry for that

[bronze wolf]

#easter-eggs message
Geomorph also goes down the more expected route of geomorphology and goes hand in hand with how they prospect for gold

I Just searched a Bit in the Website of the Finals and saw this.... What If sc means Scotty? We already know he was a Great Contestant.... Probalby He was a Sword Fighter/Light class?

[unkempt dune]

In 2008, spaceflight participant Richard Garriott placed a geocache aboard the ISS during his flight.[277] This is currently the only non-terrestrial geocache in existence.[278] At the same time, the Immortality Drive, an electronic record of eight digitised human DNA sequences, was placed aboard the ISS.[279]

space geocache (this quote came from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Space_Station)

In that regard yeah, just we do know why the 'CS' is there

ayo????

[unkempt dune]

NCsoft has announced Operation Immortality, where gamers and fans of space exploration can have the chance to get their DNA digitized and launched into space with Richard Garriott when he visits the International Space Station in October.

don't tell me the players in THE FINALS are digitized DNA

During the campaign, Tabula Rasa players have a chance to have their DNA sequenced, digitized and sent into space on the Immortality Drive. In addition, all players with active accounts on September 2, 2008 will have their Tabula Rasa characters uploaded to the device, giving them the opportunity to go to space virtually.

looking into the game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula_Rasa_(video_game)) and saw this:

The term tabula rasa means "clean slate" in Latin, which refers to a fresh start, or starting over.

[neon stream]

I think the password is in Latin and Mirrored

Probably said already, but it's literally what this Nama would represent in Rob's "clue language"

Also..."miraculum" is "mirror" in Vulgar Latin

[minor tinsel]

What?

[hearty meteor]

i tried asaralubat

[velvet narwhal]

He also literally mirrored latin #easter-eggs message

[minor tinsel]

Okay but still thanks 🙂

[brisk hearth]

the mirror truth does seem solid. weve got:

• nama holding a mirror in vvv
• rob mirroring bonum noctis
• LIGO uses mirrors for detection
• Bell's pulsars which can be viewed as a mirror of itself if split down the middle. also binary systems can be looked at as mirror

Latin has also been prevalent throughout the clues along with some sort of numeric conversions. And gold/egg are pretty much a given at this point.

I think its some form of goldegg/goldenegg/gold&egg using the clues above

im going to assume both the mirroring and latin will be applied across the entire PW phrase

however, what is the phrase, and is there any numerical substitutions applied anywhere

were close...i can feel it!

[hearty meteor]

since november 2023

[cursive star]

GOLD + EGG + LATIN + MIRROR ✅ But i don't know for SPACE....

[brisk hearth]

i think space could be a nod to gold

space does seem to be the weakest modifier of the bunch

[cursive star]

what confirmed the truth "space" ? Rob did ?

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

#easter-eggs message

[brisk hearth]

but does it mean that everything is true within that sentence?

[hard current]

rob only eyes correct things

if one of those things wasn’t correct he probably wouldn’t have eyed it

[snow walrus]

Lets combine these 2 imgs

[solid jay]

is it the clue being correct though or the statement? because we do know a lot about those things lol

[hard current]

correct content and thought wise

[snow walrus]

do you have better option than space

is my guess

[solid jay]

Just a quick thought. If S LIES then perhaps one of our truths is a lie

[brisk hearth]

if we were to mirror goldegg would it be dloggge or ggedlog?

[cursive star]

I know it's a bit general but space even more so.. But Rob said : #easter-eggs message
"in omni scientia"

[snow walrus]

I don't know that but there is a excluded 6th piece on the white board

And we have been talked through this like which one would be

[solid jay]

So which piece of our Gold Egg isn't a truth

[snow walrus]

I'll stick these 5 truths unless someone with a better proof comes

[brisk hearth]

Some questions:

• is it gold egg, golden egg, gold & egg?
• changing it to latin do we use aurum ovo, aurum ovum, aurum et ovum?
• when mirroring to we just mirror the order of letters or also the order of the words?
• which letters, if any, get subbed for numbers or taken out completely?

[snow walrus]

Passwords are gold and egg which that means golden egg 😄

[snow walrus]

3 X for ?Question?

Maybe one is gold for ques and one is egg for tion

But what is the last one

Not sure what you mean, probably a bug, sloppy devs, muahaha…!

[shrewd fog]

Rob said there will be hints in upcoming new assets in S1 and also in new assets in S2, so we have that to look forward too #1204475718747029535 message

[brisk hearth]

im leaning towards either gold egg or golden egg which in turn has its 2 respective translation in latin (aurum ovum, aureum
ovum). i think both the letters and the words should be mirrored to reflect how rob wrote good night, as far as the letters into numbers.. probably trying stuff with the e's and o's

[bronze wolf]

stumbled onto something that seems MEGA fishy:

Hamlet's line is the basis of the title of Kurt Vonnegut's 1962 short story "2 B R 0 2 B" (the zero is pronounced "nought").

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_B_R_0_2_B

[shrewd fog]

now that's a great find ^

[brisk hearth]

how does that help us modify gold egg?

[bronze wolf]

in this case 0 = naught

but i have no idea what that actually means

[brisk hearth]

so gold = g0ld = gld?

[coarse dagger]

[solid jay]

I'm just wondering if it's something to do with Lagrange points?

Initially discovered by Euler

They would form a shell of sorts while orbiting

[coarse dagger]

Captain Saucerian is still my bet

[bronze wolf]

In the story, the title 2 B R 0 2 B refers to the telephone number that one dials to schedule an assisted suicide with the Federal Bureau of Termination. Vonnegut's 1965 novel God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater

kinda grim, holy smokes

[minor tinsel]

Good Idea

047 in Austria I Think

I live in Vienna

That should be the Number

Or 147

Its in Europe

I actually noticed this as well, it seems like only certain things are mirrored in-game, but I don't know enough (anything really) about photogrammetry enough to know if that's intentional though, but it's definitely been in the back of my head. (ex. would be, the lightning bolt @unborn pilot pointed out that's the generators, while I was working on E-ELT stuff as Electrical Engineering & Technology theories, amongst others)

I was still cooking, trying to really flesh out the whiteboards as fully as I could do, but might as well post what I have already even though it's a WIP still.

KCL could be something to look at with passwords? I never finished my idea yet but... it's similar enough.

(TL;DR of that is: Current in = Current out) (Rob does love his electronics, and also knows Physics, so 🤷‍♂️ )

[cursive star]

it remind me of that : #easter-eggs message

[sand crest]

i went back to check all messages from the past 3-4 days. No eyes from Rob yet, so no progress / nothing new 😢

[full token]

Yeah it reminded me of that, but moreso this

It's technically a circuit. Opening your I's; You need to have continuity to have a flow of current. I's being the Current tier. (I like puns)

[solid jay]

Well gold is an excellent conductor

[full token]

Funny you should mention that

Went back to look at the 1.2 patch notes again, to see the exact order of golden egg. I noticed G and L are in caps, and started to think on/toy with ideas on why.
I also noticed "ng" is together, and felt like if I were to treat L and G in a particular manner, it wouldn't make sense to freely manipulate "ng" and should be kept together, but couldn't see how.

Interestingly, and idk if this was the case, but I thought I remembered Ng being on the PTE like back in HS Chem or who knows... Come to find out that it was, but is no longer.
The claim for Ng (72) "Norwegium" was disputed and retracted, and Hf (72) Hafnium [Hafnia, Latin name for Copenhagen].
It's a transition metal, apart of the same [Xe] electron configuration family as a lot of our other PE right now.

g=6=f ?

[snow walrus]

f comes from where?

[full token]

Hafnium was used to great effect on the mirrors of LIGO and won an award for it's implementation due to the better thermal resistivity (By a factor of 25x). It's a superconductor and used in a TON of electronics and aeronautics. (semi-conductors, rocketry, etc.)

[fresh quiver]

i think in the past sometime he eyed f=6.

but not sure rn

[sand crest]

could it also mean we need to look into Series?

S = ( n * (n+1) ) / 2

A divergent series.

Could do, a handful of people have to varying degrees.

[snow walrus]

Ah yes, but F=G may mislead

The closest thing that I could see in terms of a real connection would be that plotting a particular series mentioned earlier, is the same visual representation as a Discrete Cosine Transformation (a zig-zag, if you like) which is a Steganographic technique.

This EE hunt as a whole is technically a mirror (for the individual/rob/those who made it), and structure of reality itself relies on Mirror Symmetry. So, how deep do you really want to go? You have to stay within the bounds of context.

[sand crest]

this was mentioned on 23/02 and it hasn't been eyed, so prolly irrelevant.

[full token]

But... that's also apart of what makes it so fun (the rabbit holes), you never know what you end up finding or learning about. The important part is making sure we find Rob's clues, and form tangible and actionable connections so we can keep furthering down the path. 😄

Some things that've been on my mind that I can't seem to figure out are (and these are paraphrased rob quotes): "Nobel // Noble" and "Nobel Price" instead of Nobel Prize.

#easter-eggs message

[unkempt dune]

Elias James Corey seems to carry some relation to Nobel Prize and CaCO3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elias_James_Corey

In 1990, he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his development of the theory and methodology of organic synthesis",[3] specifically retrosynthetic analysis.[4][5]

Synthesis of Longifolene include CaCO3: https://employees.csbsju.edu/cschaller/Reactivity/orgsyn/LongifoleneCorey1961.pdf
Wikipedia page about Longifolene: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longifolene#:~:text=Longifolene

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.199104553

Elias James Corey expresses this opinion in his Nobel Lecture, in which he discusses the origin and development of his contributions leading to the award of the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1990. His concept of retrosynthetic analysis revolutionized both the practice and teaching of organic chemistry.

Rob spoke in the past about potentially adding or removing some such function. That's a main reason why I went back to the ~~drawing ~~ white board.

I thought maybe with some of the various maths, we actually needed to solve for something. And between looking at the generators and transformer nameplates, and seeing the electrostatic discharge jump onto the roses briefly, it just got me thinking.

Also, the whiteboards is another prime example of things being flipped (or potentially changing, depending on the map variant. see thread)

[marsh marsh]

Electrostatic discharge jumping to the roses?

[pure loom]

@hard current I came back to this because of Rob noting it when you wrote it and mentioning you missed something. It made me think "why would Rob even note this if it wasn't really important?"

1064
lxxix (79)
5f137s2 (51372)
0vif0rm (00) a vi in here so another 6
cacoiii (3)
vit3llus (3) and a vi in here so another 6
viold (6)
evivi(66)

[hard current]

that could be what he's pointing out

I think we pursue that, see what numbers it leads us to

[hard forge]

Yes, it’s a piece of art… but looks like you are missing something… ._.

[pure loom]

yeah, like if it wasn't actually important for the current password, why would he even mention you missed something?

[hard current]

I've said this same exact thing before hehe, originally I was missing a 6 at the end for evivi but maybe it was something more

[hard forge]

"piece of art" - do we have to arrange the numbers like 🧩 ?

[pure loom]

or the answer actually relates to a piece of art

[sand crest]

😅

[dull marsh]

To quote rob

It's not that complicated
😄

[unkempt dune]

Pisa Cathedral (where 1064 came from) does have a lot of art inside

[pure loom]

"T3-f" <-- if this is a clue, then it could mean "T3 without yolk" (with 1F being vit3llus = yolk)

[unkempt dune]

It's a list, maybe you narrow down one by one

so the first thing would be Pisa Cathedral

and from there, you'd find something related to it that includes 79

[sand crest]

so just shell?

[pure loom]

well, egg white too

[pure loom]

Rob did talk about us seeing another link through all the answers, iirc

[gloomy anvil]

[gloomy anvil]

Throwing anything at the wall rn, but on the theme of "we're not done with GEO yet", here's every 6, 3, and 0 from the lvl 2 passwords
0 6

6 3

I've tried finding a meaning to these but I couldn't for now

[full token]

If you look, very carefully when you blow up the generator (in the prac range), at the roses on the floor, (sometimes, not every - might have been something I did) you can see the electricity "jump"/ arc to a rose on the floor, surround it for a second and then it disappears.

[gloomy anvil]

It gets me thinking more about GEO600 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEO600 but this wasn't eyed last time

[gloomy anvil]

This also makes me wonder if the question marks should be interpreted as '63' or '6, 3' specifically (ascii value)

[turbid tinsel]

vi mirrored is iv, 64 and we had c64 already

curtesy of @unborn pilot

and rob has mentioned before that Every password uses latin

[pure loom]

Yeah, I think the password either has to be Latin words or numbers, probably mirrored

I think those two things are the modifier, and the gold, egg, space bit is the substance of the pw

[turbid tinsel]

wonder if part of the password needs civvi, he did give us CCLXIX which makes me thinks this has to be mirrored vertically more than horizontally

or maybe needs both.

XIX would be viv vertically

and makes "X" marks the spot feel more relevant.

[gloomy anvil]

• T1F = vit3llus -> 6, 3
• T3 URL = t3-f
• T3 theme = Question mark
• Ascii for question mark = 63 -> 6, 3

I reckon that's just a coincidence though

of course not to mention that 3f = question mark, which seems more intentional

[pure loom]

This was something @neon stream noted:

"Not sure if it was mentioned before, but:

T1A: 1064 -> 6
T1B: lxxix -> 3 Xs
T1C: 5f137s2 -> 3
T1D: 0vif0rm -> vi = 6
T1E: cacoiii -> iii = 3
T1F: vit3llus -> vi = 6 and 3
T2ABC: viold -> vi = 6
T2DEF: evivi -> vivi = 66"

This would give: 6336363666 -> viiiiiiiviiiiviiiivivivi -> xiiiiiiixiiiixiiiixixixi (vertical mirror)

The thing I like about it, is that it kind of includes the Xs from the password page

And 6 of them is = to the ABC and DEF Xs

[gloomy anvil]

quick theory: T1B not having an obvious 6, 3, or 0 might be why the whiteboard diagram splits into 3 and 2 branches.

and we use the 6s, 3s, and 0s from the rest, combine them into the two threads, and combine those two into a password.

(or just the 6s and 3s, because question mark = 63)

[turbid tinsel]

6336363666 this binary for anything by chance?

[pure loom]

like 1001010111?

[turbid tinsel]

yea, just tossing out ideas

[pure loom]

it says it = W

w is not the pw haha

[hard current]

reverse, it, then we get w

[turbid tinsel]

nah but only w reference i can make is ETA Cassiopiea, and the cassiopiea constellation itself forming a W

[hard current]

[turbid tinsel]

but probably unrelated

[pure loom]

xiiiiiiixiiiixiiiixixixi has 24 characters in it - that could be 3 x 8 binary

[unborn pilot]

T3-F (3f hex = ?)
3-f (3-15)
March 15 - Ides Of March (Caesar)
Feb 15 - Galileo
April 15 - Euler

[pure loom]

xiiiiiii xiiiixii iixixixi = 10000000 10000100 00101010 or 01111111 01111011 11010101 - neither of these work

[unborn pilot]

The other one is the A4 notebook paper mirrored and he has an A4 notebook on the desk.

A4 is 164

[turbid tinsel]

we did get what we thought was a march 16th hint awhile ago but was that supposed to be a -1 reference to 3-15?

[unborn pilot]

Yeah lots of “off by one”

Dancing around the date/number we actually need

[hard current]

C64 ^ 😉

[unborn pilot]

Right

[turbid tinsel]

ok so it wasnt 16/3 it was 18/3 #easter-eggs message

but im not sure if we actually got eyes for anything related to it back then

also did we ever decipher this? #easter-eggs message

[turbid tinsel]

would the lines on that snippet be 2 small for the spacing of the notebook paper?

[unborn pilot]

Haven’t measured but might try

[turbid tinsel]

that was the only reason i always assumed it was something else

[dull marsh]

Something a bit interesting, is that each t1 step was related to one concept

• [t1-a] 1064 -> SPACE

• [t1-b] lxxix -> LATIN

• [t1-c] 5f1372 -> PHYSICS or ELECTRON?

• [t1-d] 0vif0rm -> MATHS or SHAPE?

• [t1-e] cacoiii -> CHEMISTRY or MINERALS?

• [t1-f] vit3llus -> MIRROR? (E -> 3)

Steps A+B are directly related to GOLD (step C is less directly related to it)

Steps D+E+F are directly related to EGG

A+B & D+E+F, or AB & OVO?

This could related to this diagram, the two first combining into GOLD, and the three others into EGG.

If that's the case we might need to find the two remaining truths.

63 = 6+3 = G+E = GOLD+EGG = ?

[unique spruce]

The egg eye is called the chalaza

[hard current]

would it be far fetched to say this is all pointing towards geospace ?

[dull marsh]

I highly suspect that the geocache part is not for this level

He said we just need to enter the right password

[bronze wolf]

regardless of whether it's connected or not, this Vonnegut rabbit hole is really neat (and makes me wanna read Slaughterhouse Five again)

• Kilgore Trout; a fictional writer in Vonnegut's books largely viewed as the author's alter-ego (mirrored?)

• With Vonnegut's permission Philip Jose Farmer wrote a book called Venus on the Half-Shell writing pseudonymously as "Kilgore Trout"

• The plot, in which Earth is destroyed by cosmic bureaucrats doing routine maintenance and the sole human survivor goes on a quest to find the "Definitive Answer to the Ultimate Question", was an inspiration for the plot of the later Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.

• Character name that makes me raise my eyebrow:

Gviirl > Virgil > anagram

[silver rock]

Something I've been thinking about as I've looked back on the past tiers, specifically 1A, 1B, and 1C, is that, while all of their passwords have been related to Gold in one way or another, all three of them are also displayed on the notation of the periodic table:

1064: Melting point
lxxix: atomic number
5f137s2: electron configuration

Yet another hint towards this final tier, with three smaller parts being brought together to make a bigger whole

[unkempt dune]

you know, I need myself some 10644601 (in knock code that's ayua)

[solid jay]

This would solidify my theory about April 4th meaning A4 or A=4 on RHB youtube comment clue

[unborn pilot]

And I’m writing the left password this whole time

[mystic storm]

did you try putting it in the freezer? or maybe a bag of rice?

[hard forge]

remember yolks, 99% of people stop before finding the right password.

[turbid tinsel]

is it possible there may be more references to commodore? we have 6 and 4 (vi,iv) there is a Commodore 17 yacht. and we have had a few 17 clues, commodore rank is based on stars, yatch club officers can have more than 1 star related to their rank as well and can be gold embroidered

[unkempt dune]

we've tried "password" already, right?

someone has to have

what about "admin" ?

not going to lie, I'm not really sure what lead to take right now

the thing I'm most curious about is the name of the level

I really want to know what the promise is

[hard current]

i missed this where was a=4 on youtube?

[gloomy anvil]

The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that Nobel Prize is a Latin + Egg + Mirror clue with line 663 of the Aeneid. Never got eyes I know, but I'm too attached to it.

[solid jay]

without copying it for verbatim it was like "enjoying a xylophone concert on april 4th"

[dull marsh]

Angstrom unit

Or X-unit

interesting terms

[solid jay]

Kind of silly but maybe we just need the right side (egg) not the left side (gold)

[bronze wolf]

ok, this seems promising; yoke as a verb instead of a noun: "cause (two people or things) to be joined in a close relationship."

• Old English geoc (noun), geocian (verb), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch juk, German Joch, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin jugum and Greek zugon, also by Latin jungere ‘to join’.

geocache connection seems pretty solid right here

• Noun. ġēoc‎ (fem.) (chiefly, poetic) help, rescue
• As in Rob, please send ġēoc!!

[unkempt dune]

very similar to 10644601 (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ayua)

[bronze wolf]

Finding even more goodies now:

• GEOC + ACHE

• Aach (variants Ach, Ache; Aa) is a widespread Upper German hydronym, from an Old High Germanaha (Proto-Germanic *ahwō) 'running water'

• Related is the German Aue (variant Au) with a meaning 'river island, wetland, floodplain, riparian woodland',

• AU = gold here?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aach_(toponymy)

and this term is sitting in the middle of all of this really nicely:

syzygy - the nearly straight-line configuration of three celestial bodies
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/syzygy

• Syzygy can be traced to the Greek syzygos ("yoked together"), a combination of syn- ("with, together with") and zygon ("yoke"). Zygon is also the source of zygote ("a cell formed by the union of two gametes - EGG?)

• Zygon is also related to the Old English geoc—the source of the Modern English yoke—and the Latin jungere, from which the English words join and junction are derived

Idk, I think this is a bit myopic. Most of those concepts are tied into multiple tiers. While those are in the tiers you listed, they don't stand out enough to identify as the "one" concept for the tier.

[lapis moat]

Finally able to post images, Rob definitely was very enthused by us looking into Psalm 46 in the thread, but nobody ever really did any further investigating. I can finally post pictures so here's the subject of the psalm, the jewel of masquerade. I don't really think I've seen it posted in here.

Never got a second opinion but the damn rabbit looks crazy

[full token]

Was thinking about this again. What about Aqua Regia? “Royal Water”

[full token]

Can you elaborate more on the connection(s)? It’s a powerful psalm indeed, I just feel like I’m missing a lot here.

[unkempt dune]

anybody ever run into this?

[turbid tinsel]

idk what im looking for

[lapis moat]

Earnestly the thread is all we've got, it's a wall of text like no other but it rings true mostly. The connections are loose and there's a bunch of them but the rabbit necklace was a big part I just wanted to make sure people saw

[latent peak]

Was researching this one too. Considering the connection with gold and geochace. Loosely connected to egg if it's an Easter rabbit

[unkempt dune]

the light

[turbid tinsel]

nah i havent

maybe knock down the other boards

[lapis moat]

Honestly bro you're kinda right that's a weird light

doesn't look bugged

[turbid tinsel]

does alien invasion happen on that map?

[unkempt dune]

nah, the match just started

[turbid tinsel]

ahh

[lapis moat]

That's what I thought but the beam is way greener

Psalm 46, imo, is connected in a bunch of literal ways, as listed on that big quote full of possible passwords in the psalm thread, but I actually think it's more thematically related. it's a screed on the nature of solving puzzles and enlisting groups of people to attempt to find a solution none could find on their own. the ethics of creating and solving easter eggs, almost. I think it's more important in that way, that it identifies the overall shape of the mystery

[unkempt dune]

the screen may just use a spotlight and this one was more close to the wall than the others

looks like that's the case

[minor tinsel]

On which ?

Encountered a new noise when playing twice in the last week. There's what sounds like a watch alarm or timer going off:
https://youtu.be/__VgDVPI2vA

Looks like 2 and 4 combined

[coarse dagger]

@unreal cosmos I know this was like 3 months ago, but is this the sound you were asking about?
#⚡┇the-finals-chat message

anyone hear this random alarm sound that happens throughout a match?

[coarse dagger]

My contestant does not have a watch equipped.

I'm certain it's coming from the game, as I have my game audio on a separate channel.

[prime oak]

Thats from the tracking dart, tells you that your being tracked. Not surprised you haven't encountered it before, no one uses it lol

[full token]

yeah it's pretty tough to make out..

idk if that helps

[prime oak]

Also I assume we can't use anything we get from getting out of bounds?

[quaint stream]

So with the new lore video, did they elude that Easter Eggs can only be found in the big final matches where it's just 3v3?

[unreal cosmos]

thats from the motion sensor gadget or maybe the tracking dart, I forget which. either way the alarm sound I was talking about was some map wide global noise. someone told me before it was an easter egg but I still dont know

[coarse dagger]

Good call. I know I've been darted in the past but I must've forgotten about the noise because it happens to me so infrequently. (I only recently started playing non-ranked)

[coarse dagger]

Oh yeah, this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU4vJoMCiak

[quaint stream]

And anything through the looking glass or jabberwock stuff

Yeah that noise is weird as hell

[unreal cosmos]

yeah. what causes that?

[coarse dagger]

Unknown, suspected EE related. There's suspicion that it's related to an easter-egg involving the generators. #1191559098420969542

Haven't heard it recently to be honest. In the past I had heard it while running between 2 generators after I had broken the first one.

[unreal cosmos]

ahhh yeah lol thats cool though

[turbid tinsel]

doesnt that kina look like it says euler? also looks like june

also i think it was mentioned but not sure, but this is definitley a top down view of probably a new map

or a side view looking straight, you can see led lettering on the left side

[quaint stream]

So geocaches and x marks the spot

I'm just having trouble tying the recent eyed stuff to previous talks Especially with lipogram talk going on.

And with mirrors Ive wondered before if it meant opposites or actual reflection.
Gold=Silver?
Gold=dloG?
Gold=Lead?

It's just such a puzzle logic step, like just having the right puzzle piece but you need to still rotate it just right

[turbid tinsel]

theres also something behind and around the finals logo in the back spinning all video long

[quaint stream]

And Rob or someone did a lot of work for that Ab Ovo insert and I still just don't understand why that was so important besides playing more into latin being a truth?

[turbid tinsel]

also look like the word lie in the middle here, and what looks like the word "to" in the blue underneath in on the right

[quaint stream]

And why are the X's different sizes on tfee level 2. Bothers me

[pure loom]

Yes, definitely a top-down view. I screwed this part up in my vid on it.

[pure loom]

It related to the X^X clue

[pure loom]

This is interesting

[velvet narwhal]

Yep I think that it's a library.

[turbid tinsel]

also more on this logo, deep in the center with this filter i cant help but find this odd. ive flipped it every which way but can make out if its spelling something legible or not

isn't the band also technically rhodium white or something. White rats at least?

Okay, first the zx spectrum and now Amiga have the rainbow aesthetic

Hey @pure loom (sorry 4 ping), are your dm's open?

[velvet narwhal]

With this filter the cyber stuff looks like clouds

[velvet narwhal]

Yeah this has alread been mentioned.But still a good find Maybe theres a horse easter egg somewhere on the map

[fresh quiver]

a horse and a three-headed monkey?

[velvet narwhal]

yeah... would have made more sense if 2014 was the year of the monkey

[turbid tinsel]

yea davinci resolve you can change filters over videos

its free as well should anyone wanna give it a go

also personal opinion but i dont think cns is messing with anyones games

other than the death glitch carrying over to post game screen i think it might just be lore build up

that shit looks beautiful, what camo is this?

is that in the store

[alpine junco]

the ARG in the finals

[hollow eagle]

its one of the old maps…

[alpine junco]

alleyway between park and cathedral

[hollow eagle]

Its monaco

[turbid tinsel]

assuming they altered the map, because that entrance doesnt exist on it

for that building

because the cathedral has steps on both sides

[velvet narwhal]

thats just the back of the cathedral isn't it?

[turbid tinsel]

cant be, theres an entrance

[velvet narwhal]

It's in the residential district about where the blue dot is

[turbid tinsel]

but isnt there stairs/steps on both sides?

[velvet narwhal]

theres an entrance at the back of the cathedral

[turbid tinsel]

they both have stairs no?

[velvet narwhal]

not as big as the main entrance

in the image you can also see stairs into the cathedral

[turbid tinsel]

they dont exist in that image though

idk i thought they were steep on both sides

maybe im tripping

[alpine junco]

the generator is bewhind that wall in the SS

[velvet narwhal]

I am unsure now about the stairs but this is 100% the back of the cathedral

[turbid tinsel]

yea i thought that was the cathedral but not seeing steep steps has me wondering when i have ever seen it with no steps

i played every test i thought and it doesnt strike familiar

odd to show a alpha screenshot if thats the case though

[vital oar]

Hey all

Some experiments and thoughts regarding the Practice Range Roses:
While picking them up and letting them fall i noticed that sometimes they appear in red and sometimes in blue, through other objects (you need to be holding another object to see them)
While trying some different pick orders, i managed to get three of the roses in blue. Also there's one rose which clipps through the ground when trying to pick one of the roses on the ground. Is that really a mistake or is that a hint by Rob which tells us, we startet with the wrong rose? If that wasnt intentional, they might have removed the clipping through the ground by now?

Also: There are 5 lamps in the park. Do we maybe need to pick the roses in the correct order and place them under the lights in the park and then turn off the electricity?

Also another hint which tells me the pick up order of the roses might be the right direction: you can let a rose stand on the ground. It keeps standing UNTILL you pick up another rose

Cant post pictures to show you visually what i mean with the colours red and blue

Okaaay one thing i just discovered: if you start with the rose on the bench, the see through colour of the rose is blue, if you start with the rose on the ground (the one which clipps through the ground) the see through colour is blue

[sharp flame]

That is Monaco, and the back of the cathedral has no steps.

I am about 100% on my memory of that part

but will grab a screenshot later

[vital oar]

Okay scratch this. There seems to be another reason why they are blue or red. Managed to get a mix of both colours but no idea what triggers which colour

The thing I'm currently doubting the most is if Gold and Egg are part of the 5 truths, or if they're just the results of combining 2 and 3 truths together, which lead to two main threads being Gold and Egg... 🤔

[eternal violet]

i've been thinking the same. looking at the past tiers, some dont have mention of eggs at all, if you dont count the namatama images. for example i don't even think t1-a has gold clues, besides the fact that we retroactively now know that the answer leads to gold.

[unkempt dune]

melting point of gold

1,064°C

that's the t1-a gold clue

[turbid tinsel]

t1-b is 79, gold element is au79

[hasty anvil]

are there geocaches in space maybe

[turbid tinsel]

i feel like majority of the password is roman numerals

[minor tinsel]

Roman Numbers?

[solid jay]

Ya something with Roman numerals and then mirrored.

[minor tinsel]

Where are these "Roman Numbers"?

[solid jay]

You need to go get caught up on stuff. Please read the wiki.

[minor tinsel]

Okay 👍

[eternal violet]

thats not a clue, thats the answer to the puzzle. im talking clues FOR the answer.

[hasty anvil]

people keep saying this but we've tried so many variations. If the password was just roman numerals and mirrors, why would we need LIGO, JBB, Nobel, Klee, etc.

[solid jay]

They could just be pointing to the word and numerals and mirror are the decryption key.

[turbid tinsel]

[velvet narwhal]

Rob also mentioned that the amiga logos are really relevant for the ee hunt #easter-eggs message

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message this amiga message too

[hasty anvil]

tier2 clue i think

[velvet narwhal]

Amiga is a commodore computer iirc

[dull marsh]

It might relate to the quote "in omni scientia" said by rob

[hasty anvil]

So is there an amiga / commodore game we need to find? or something about the company?

[dull marsh]

Commodore might relate to Roman emperor Commodus?

He was the son of Marcus Aurelius

And came to power when his father died on March 17

[velvet narwhal]

Poor dude has to rule after one of the best emperors in existence

[dull marsh]

And he was a very bad one, he rejected a lot of his dad's stuff

And he maintained a divine cult of personality, associating himself with Hercules

[hasty anvil]

Yeah I remember him saying that too

[dull marsh]

I didn't see that originally, but I totally agree with it
1064 -> asteroid -> astronomy + gold
lxxix -> 79 -> physics + gold
5f137s2 -> Mendelevium -> physics + gold?
0vif0rm -> shape -> not sure for this one + egg
cacoiii -> mineral -> geology + egg
vit3llus -> yold -> biology + egg

Some of them might fit into chemistry too, maybe the mendelevium one
0vif0rm might be maths?

[hasty anvil]

#easter-eggs message
This message is interesting again, he mentions Galaxians and Adventure A. Adventure is interesting for obvious reasons, but Galaxians idk if it was looked at

#easter-eggs message he says promise here as prmise in 2022, before o=0=null existed lol

[solid jay]

Geometry ya

[bronze wolf]

is that maybe a hint to brrw? not sure of the timing of everything as I wasn't around then

[hasty anvil]

I think burrw was found later on, it might just be a really early clue of -O

[dull marsh]

Good catch, that seems to fit with Euler 🤔

[bronze wolf]

i checked the wiki about the brrw timing, and the first dates listed where they noticed stuff was Dec 19th 2022, so this lines up

[dull marsh]

Guys guys

Do we need to encode the message in morse? ._.

[bronze wolf]

are those ascii characters?

[dull marsh]

Yeah

[bronze wolf]

is there anything else that points to morse tho besides those cheeky lil smiles?

[dull marsh]

I'm thinking either classic morse with .-, Rob's morse with ._ or even with a custom alphabet like iv

._. in morse is r (for rob)

so, whose "Brown Eyed Girl"?

I wasn't around for that

ohhh, is that the one picture with The Finals projected on a girl's face?

[snow walrus]

go to wiki > T1D

[unkempt dune]

already found out

[hasty anvil]

maybe he didnt click link

[snow walrus]

event if that, he would eye afterwards images sent here

[hasty anvil]

Or also, he doesn't usually eye the actual image clue, but he eyes what the clue leads to.

when we dissected images before he doesnt usually eye each discovery

[unkempt dune]

you know, right before we got brown eyed girl, rob said:

Wow, I just found this "404 errors may be momentary glitches that you can resolve by refreshing your web browser on a page."... that could be useful, I will keep that in mind... ._.

did people have to refresh the page or something to get her?

I can't tell from reading the messages afterwards

so nobody ever figured out what the 325 on the 404 gif meant? It seems odd that was included in the 404 gif that was only active for 1 day

does anyone have a copy of the gif still?

because the squarespace link doesn't work anymore

I'm thinking rock was right about 325 pointing to Commander (CBE)

which would be a Commodore 64 reference

Finite Linear Groups, The Commodore 64, Euler and Sylvester: https://www.jstor.org/stable/2322289

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

Sylvester invented a great number of mathematical terms such as "matrix" (in 1850)...

The Matrix has been a part of this hunt

euler is used for angles

[dull marsh]

Matrices and Euler are directly linked via quaternions

[unkempt dune]

was about to say that

[dull marsh]

Quaternions are the bane of game developers

Egg Matrix 🤔 https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-whole-egg-matrix-is-rich-in-high-quality-dietary-protein-lipids-vitamins-and_fig2_330828806

https://tenor.com/view/akira-leave-me-alone-tiktok-meme-reaction-gif-9595462199354763206

"quaternions"

[dull marsh]

To be honest, quaternions are the bane of anyone that has to know what a quaternion is

[unkempt dune]

rotation matrices are also related to euler and matrices

might have found something in #1204573219894468648 message

definitely a coincidence that is the case

[plucky kettle]

does this mean anything, it was in the lastest video from the finals yt

or what does it translate to

The recording studio is shown off of the platform in the video. Don't think it's a map teaser.

[dusk crescent]

hello guys

lots of time i didnt check this

how is going?

[dull marsh]

It's going somewhere. How is it going? Not sure what the answer is...

[radiant meteor]

One of the billboards showed a QR code but I didn’t saved a replay or recording

[frigid sun]

Maybe that’s the next map

[dusk crescent]

well

i mean

[pallid rock]

likely just takes you to the sponsors page

[dusk crescent]

something is something

[plucky kettle]

Or the finals website

[jade cradle]

has anyone noticed that in the new the finals video Carl speaks about the music for the gameshow as if there will be another part of the game not in the gameshow? my english isnt super great so maybe i'm not understanding correctly

[fallen jasper]

He was saying it's not just the theme for the game, but part of the in universe gameshow aswell.

Least that's how I understood it

[jade cradle]

ah okay. the way i understood is he was saying the music for the gameshow is different then the music for the rest of the game. and i got confused lol

[coarse dagger]

diegetic:
(of sound in a movie, television program, etc.) occurring within the context of the story and able to be heard by the characters.

not the first clue telling us to go back

[dry ginkgo]

can someone fill me in - was the new found red light discussed?

[velvet narwhal]

Those are aviation lights

[bronze wolf]

trying to understand what's going on in that thread with rob's new eyes is making my head spin

did make me curious if there was a c64 or amiga link we can thread through everything though, it does keep popping up

[hard current]

this look familiar to anyone?

I remember seeing a lot of these symbols in the background of tion.jpg

[gloomy anvil]

not to me, what are they?

[proven jewel]

Its the name of an area in Stockholm.

[hard current]

petscii

[coarse dagger]

Lol, is that why you 👀'd these C64 keys?
#easter-eggs message

No that is a "very obvious" clue on that image... ._.

#1201288968562552863 message

6 GRN??!?!?

G6 / 6G -> 6 GRN

[hard current]

@coarse dagger I think it’s petscii on that keyboard

[snow walrus]

I remember we were looking C64 command LOAD 8* something. Some graphics letters were those letters

The one command that loads the first file

[gloomy anvil]

That command (partially) is in the new holtow.com gif, either as a direct C64 reference or MuCoDOS lore

[hard current]

it’s definitely petscii.. is there petscii hidden somewhere we missed

hehe hey @balmy fog you remember finding all those weird symbols in the background of tion.jpg?

[coarse dagger]

I guess that does appear to predate the first mention of PETSCII in the channel:
#easter-eggs message

[dull marsh]

Is there a way to write OYE in petskii?

[coarse dagger]

Noooo not againnnnnn

[hard current]

[opaque thistle]

goddamn theres some interesting stuff out here

[dull marsh]

PET -> PTE -> Periodic Table of Elements

[hard current]

@coarse dagger do you recall why that keyboard was brought up? or anything looked like petscii at that time?

[snow walrus]

We got heart symbol from CNS?

[hard current]

wait do you guys remember those weird lines hidden in namabatama

[snow walrus]

#easter-eggs message

Oh you already sent

[hard current]

ah thought maybe it could be petscii but, would be impossible to narrow down positioning

[coarse dagger]

I think @timid solstice just searched something along the lines of "Gold C64" and had that Ebay listing for the keycaps.

[hard current]

my current thinking is the “obvious clue” on there is petscii, but can’t say for certain unless we can apply it to something somewhere and get results

[coarse dagger]

We've found a lot of "noise" in images which looks like PETSCII, but never anything clear enough to extract/compare against.

[unkempt dune]

here's another interesting tid bit, the c64 used ? as a shortcut for PRINT https://youtu.be/VXi4e_Q_YeI?si=e0TNByTV7sZeo9-Y&t=472

we do have ourselves some question marks from the first two images

[coarse dagger]

I've thought about writing a program to look for single color pixels in images or bitplanes which match PETSCII characters... but idk... we've never gotten clear enough matches to make me think that's a necessary effort.

[pure loom]

we had tried to interpret these as analogue clock hands when they were found - but I don't think we ever got a confirmation from Rob for anything

[gloomy anvil]

Not seen it linked before so, just for reference https://www.ebay.com/itm/165721389939

[snow walrus]

Idk why but PI and ⬆️ got my attention

[unkempt dune]

you know, I was looking at a code-to-key conversion table for the c64, and I found it interesting that there's:

63   Dec
Hex  $3F
Key  Run/Stop

[snow walrus]

Is a COMMAND the T3 answer 🤔

[hasty anvil]

did we figure out the dimensions of these boxes maybe?

[snow walrus]

Btw another C64 egg game:
The lost eggs of gertie goose
https://archive.org/details/d64_Lost_Eggs_of_Gertie_Goose_The_1985_Anton_Hinxman

"Fireman Sam" also

[sharp flame]

I'd say try it, but we'd be ignoring literally every other clue we'd been given

[snow walrus]

But what command may be

Agent X
https://retrovania-vgjunk.blogspot.com/2017/06/agent-x-zx-spectrum.html?m=1

We had James Bond Nama

[unkempt dune]

Thinking about it, we have the C64, Nobel, and electromagnetic waves. With those, I'm led to Maser (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maser):

A maser is a device that produces coherent electromagnetic waves (microwaves), through amplification by stimulated emission.

Townes, Nikolay Basov and Alexander Prokhorov were awarded the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics for theoretical work leading to the maser.

[timid solstice]

@hard current @coarse dagger
I looked for a gold commodore

then searched commodore keycaps

yep that was the post @gloomy anvil
they arent gold just weathered and old

[unkempt dune]

LIGO's Laser (https://www.ligo.caltech.edu/page/laser)

The laser beam that enters LIGO's interferometers begins inside a laser diode, which uses electricity to generate a 4-watt (W) 808 nm beam of near-infrared laser light. While laser diodes are the kind of devices that one finds in everyday laser pointers, at 4 watts, LIGO's is 800 times more powerful than most off-the-shelf laser pointers. This 4 W beam is first sent into a fingernail-sized crystal of man-made garnet, within which it circulates and stimulates the emission of a 2 watt beam with a wavelength of 1064 nanometers (nm). This crystal lasing device is called a Non-Planar Ring Oscillator (NPRO) and the resulting 2 W beam is called a “seed” beam because it will eventually grow into a much more powerful laser.

1064 pops up again

[bronze wolf]

I went down a maser rabbit hole and Charles Townes is genuinely intriguing, especially when I found out about the golden goose awards
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_H._Townes

[dull marsh]

PETSCII does give a whole new meaning to many things as now we have another alphabet than ASCII to encode/decode to and from

[unkempt dune]

this looks like a hexagon and it's related to this 1064

[bronze wolf]

Charles Townes' Nobel Prize for the Maser - 1964

[dull marsh]

A whole lot of lasers emit 1064nm light tho

[hearty meteor]

1064nm laser is the most common wavelength for Nd:YVO4 lasers if im not mistaken

[unkempt dune]

You know, thinking about it, / was a hint for level 1, right?

and that was hinting towards using a url if I'm not mistaken

It seems like ? is being used as a hint for level 2 as well

and both of them share the same key

seems like a neat coincidence

You pinged the wrong Lulz 😭

[timid solstice]

wth! I clicked your pfp

[coarse dagger]

they arent gold just weathered and old
Unlikely, but perhaps this is why it was eyed?

We've talked a lot about various molecular/atomic configurations of Oxygen. Oxidation is what causes the yellowing in old ABS plastics:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retrobright

Yellowing in ABS plastic occurs when it is exposed to UV light or excessive heat, which causes photo-oxidation of polymers that breaks polymer chains and causes the plastic to yellow and become brittle.

[timid solstice]

ooo good idea

[bronze wolf]

with all the 64 connections, im just browsing major events from 1964 and it was quite the busy year for space related activities

[quasi spire]

is there an Amiga thread?

ok well has anyone looked into that old amiga game thats called easter egg

seems like it might be a little on the nose but idk

[gloomy anvil]

you added that extra layer, right?...

[unkempt dune]

I think I may have stumbled on something, give me a second to see if it's potentially correct

[hard current]

what yo uthinkin

[unkempt dune]

so when I saw this bit plane from this image a while back, I thought it was weird

and then I was looking into some PETSCII stuff

https://github.com/EgonOlsen71/petsciiator?tab=readme-ov-file

which has this example:

which reminds me of this

[hard current]

yes that's the petscii stuff I was talkin about hehe

[turbid tinsel]

your about to wake b0kb from the dead

[hard current]

I tagged him for it earlier lmao

[timid solstice]

[unkempt dune]

since people have mentioned it in the past, makes me think this was an original hint related to the Commodore and/or PETSCII

[turbid tinsel]

what if we need to take a word, or start from zeros and do eulers +1-1+2-2 to spell something? the whole formula itself reminds of the the number rotating padlocks that would be used on bike locks or briefcases

and maybe when rob was trying to tell us how to get klee's signature out of the VVV image of nama, saying that you needed to do something and then go back and make some changes and eventually we would notice a pattern was more or less related to eulers formula in some aspect

just a thought

[twilit forge]

Spitballing random thoughts, not quite linking the truths but trying to find the "encryption" method we think was used in the password

• We have links to NYT puzzles
• Trying to think of "another layer of complexity for them to decipher" #easter-eggs message
• If you google "golden clue" you get links to an NYT crossword from September 10 2023 (around the time rob could have been thinking to add complexity?) with the answer AUREATE and that puzzle has some "added complexity"
• Some things were highlighted in yellow and you had to do some word association / jumbling (good pic if you scroll down a bit here: https://crosswordfiend.com/2023/09/09/sunday-september-10-2023/)
• One of the highlighted answers had a commonality of "uegg", so I tried a few variations of mirroring different parts of goldegg to things like "gedlogg" (mirroring all but the g's), "golgged" (mirroring the "degg" similar to "uegg" above?)
• Possible links to ques tion? just based on the segmentation of words

[shrewd fog]

running them through the PETSCII converter looks... cool

[gloomy anvil]

A little off the current topic, but something I just noticed and that (afaik) only one other person has pointed out: Hexameter

'Ab ovo' was coined by Horace is his poem Ars Poetica. This poem was originally written in Hexameter, a metrical line of verses consisting of six 'feet'. It was standard for other works such as the Aenied and Metamorphoses.

If I recall we've had two clues towards Horace, Ab ovo was specifically eyed, line 663 of the Aeneid is inscribed onto the Nobel Physics medal, and of course the multiple clues at 6 and hex.

Is this just a rabbit hole or something to look into?

[neon stream]

It has many connecitons with the hunt, might be worth looking at

[pure loom]

Links to Xenon as well

[shrewd fog]

Raid that is definitely on the right track, Hexameter being another reference we have to convert something to hex code

[gaunt kiln]

Just a question, since I can’t find the answer, was the constellation clue ever figured out?

[hard current]

no, we know it’s somewhere in vegas but nobody has been able to pin where, rob himself said it’s very very very hard to find

[gaunt kiln]

I wanted to input that Vegas itself has quite a few decorations that are stars/ related to stars. Perhaps trying to use the sky is misguided and what should actually be looked at are the placement of these assets?

I’ve yet to truly sit down and mess around in a match long enough myself but after reading through everything last night, it felt appropriate to mention at least.

[worn flame]

Do you have the link to when he said this?

[gaunt kiln]

[gloomy anvil]

are those symbols really all over tion.jpg?

[hard forge]

doesn't the question mark have a similar pattern?

[turbid tinsel]

red and blue, maybe you have to tweak one before merging it with another

[hard current]

that is the pattern on part of tion

the problem is the “petscii” (still not confident it’s that unless someone can find blatant matches) in tion seems to be all mashed up

[gaunt kiln]

Could definitely use some color filtering.

[gloomy anvil]

if we can pull up a screenshot that would be helpful I'm on mobile atm

[gaunt kiln]

[bronze wolf]

couple interesting things I've run into that are worth noting

• ** Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART)** they smashed a spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos, and I remember watching this live
• Dimorphos was described as egg-shaped before impact
• DART uses the NASA Evolutionary Xenon Thruster (NEXT)
• Dart immediately reminded me of the Dartmoor clues from geocache

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

[gaunt kiln]

So... I cracked open the tion.jpg after basically combing the image. I don't know how often y'all pop one of these bad boys in notepad.

but the results were interesting to say the least.

I can't post images, so you'll just have to crack this egg open yourself.

[bronze wolf]

• The XENON dark matter research project, is a deep underground detector facility featuring increasingly ambitious experiments aiming to detect hypothetical dark matter particles.

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

[worn flame]

Like just drag it into notepad?

[gaunt kiln]

First time I've ever gotten simplified chinese when popping open a jpg, even weirder is the fact that some of this is translating.

Right click, open with, notepad.

Turn word wrapping on

keep a default or tighter window size.

It's either because of where the file is hosted or it's on purpose but there's a lot of actual raw information in here. Even tells me that Rob is using Adobe Photoshop 2023, lol.

what do you mean by blue?

if you place them in a certain position, through walls they turn either red or blue

Try bringing them somewhere

Or throwing them in the holes where u can throw cash out afterwards

yess

I don't get how this works tho

It's just the reflection

[gaunt kiln]

It isn't though, I think it's just a visual bug. BUT it's funny it happens on the roses.

[dull gorge]

yea but some turn red, seemingly to indicate the placement or position is wrong, because once i set them in an order they all turned blue

[gaunt kiln]

Domino you're actually insane

I'm testing this and you're 100% right

Just made a clip, one second

[hard forge]

i think this might be it

oh wait,

[dull gorge]

nah i see what they meant by that but its when you set them down and look behind the wall

[gaunt kiln]

I'm uploading a clip right now

just a minute

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYs2yRNejjM

It's still processing but shows the basic principle

[quasi spire]

holy shit dude

domino how tf did u even find that dawg

[gaunt kiln]

Like, that's actually a really really keen eye. Fantastic work domino!

[twilit forge]

Dang, if that's actually something the reactions to the first image are even more hilarious

[quasi spire]

it works better with red barrels

and in the house

u can see a full outline of the rose

[hard forge]

Thank you for uploading this.

Bell Character, unicode U+237 (just like uranium isotope hmm) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_character

[bronze wolf]

so i can replicate this behind basically any wall, pretty sure it's the light on the mesh when you're carrying something

[quasi spire]

that would make sense if they werent changing colors when in a certain order

[gaunt kiln]

Yeah, that's what is the puzzling part.

[dull gorge]

yeah just switched it around now three are red

[gaunt kiln]

So getting all blue has gotta be the Start of the easter egg.

[hard forge]

I think it is about picking/dropping them in a specific order. It activates something. But what and how?

[quasi spire]

https://youtu.be/RVLgE9T7bvY better outline in this spot

[dull gorge]

all 5 are blue now, i honestly think its how they are positioned

[bronze wolf]

it's if they're closer to the wall, so the game puts a red mesh on it

i can replicate this on basically any wall

try it in the house, should be able to see what im saying

[dull gorge]

idk bc even when i place them further it shows the same blue/red patterns

https://imgur.com/a/qeTMFqZ

[bronze wolf]

just go put some roses in the house and look through the wall, same stuff happens

[gaunt kiln]
