Apparently it's a very active volcano on Io. Meh.


It's also one of Saturn's rings

Some interesting tidbits...But flying blind it's hard to tell if this will even be used any more.

Indeed, but equally I don't want to be told where to look so could do without the Twitter updates. The game should be difficult but not involve prompting.

That, and complexity of how far people are digging into this thing does not match the level of the answers to previous puzzles. The answers should be clever, not exercises in tedious statistical analysis

If so has anyone tried a comination of the differences?

For example, the difference between the two Tridium numbers is/was 6

I would recommend trying to first list them all and then try that as a url and then if no luck try adding the numbers up.


I tried all of those numbers on both sites Wednesday night, so if that turns out to be the case, then it is rigged.

It's secure until you happen to mouse over or click on one of the outside links(Twitter, Facebook) bottom right.

If you sort the resources into the number of years left order, you can see there are a few pairs, and one tripple -

discrepencies

Just a thought but do all these discrepencies involve numbers??

If so has anyone tried a comination of the differences?

For example, the difference between the two Tridium numbers is/was 6

I would recommend trying to first list them all and then try that as a url and then if no luck try adding the numbers up.

I'd do it myself but i have no idea what are discrepencies and what are mistakes (using the fixed pages)

Rocket Rob
M31

I was wondering...dangerous, I know!

If we are to take the mistaken letter and number variations, and combine them for the purpose of maybe locating a galaxy?

Like galaxy M31 or M33 or M31/NGC589.

Any thoughts on that fellow forum members?
