can you post the email genus sent?? maybe he has said something we had missed...

That's fine. I don't really care about who did it. Anyways, I was just about to message you. I have something up my site. CHeck it out and try to figure it out. Yes, I already know what it is. I want to see if you can understand what it is. And yes, I did make that myself. Check back when you have figured it out.
Oh, and inform your friends about it, too. I don't have contact with them so just go ahead and share it with them. Let's just say this one's a challenge from me.

This is all I got from Genus...

I don't get this equation. It's false. Either that, or we don't understand the right-hand side correctly yet. Is it a negative sign or an A? I found nothing interesting next to the raddix point when in base 7 for 5.8013468... no repeating numbers that have any mathematical significance.
That's what I've been seeing as well. It is either a false equation or we are supposed to solve for A. Maybe the point is that the equation is incorrect? Or maybe we are just being played with.

Holy crap, they listened to me....
(I was the one who mentioned a wiki)

Ok, back to base 7. Here is an OOG email from the PM's.

Hello!
We've been stalking everyone through the forums and we've seen that you "might" need a wiki so we set one up. We don't really know how to use it, so we'll assume you already do. Don't worry, we're learning as well. We think keeping the wiki fully open to the public (yes, like completely open to anyone) will allow anyone who had a part in this ARG to have their own share. After all, an ARG is a community game and there's no better way to see the ARG then from the eyes of the community.
We do hope you do build up this wiki, and tailor it on how you see fit. Don't worry, if you don't use it, it's perfectly fine for us. We're here to provide you with what you need as we see fit. Yes, we know we should have set this up long ago, but we don't really know how to use it. Good luck!
EDIT: Check out the logo in the top left of the wiki page. A planet with 3 moons. Cool.

I got A=5.80135 if I calculated this in base 10 all the way... I suppose that would still be the answer if I calculated it in base 7... however, what bothers me is the decimal... how do you convert a decimal into base 7 "decimal"
Technically it would be such a small number it would almost be the exact same any way. It wouldn't matter too much, especially considering significant digits. Work beckons. Be back momentarily.

Simple, multiply the decimal portion by 7, writing down and removing the integer part each time, and repeating this until you have an absolute true error less than whatever you specify.

That's in base 7. Does that look right to you Zeighy? The answer is 6, but I'm having a hard time getting the left side to agree. It's been a long time since I messed with other base systems.
I think while the numbers are arranged in reverse, the operation still goes from left to right, just like the example he gave on basics... 222-1=221
I think the - was actually A since that's the letter rather a negative sign... just a thought...
so
(10106/201)+(462/33) = 24A/3 <<< base 7
24.8080 + 10 = 18A/3 <<< base 10, I don't know how to convert the decimal to base decimal... can we actually compute with decimals? I'm stuck here
Ok, still fixing my mistakes. I'll see if I can make something work. Lets see what I can come up with.

scratch that, let me redo this

Edit: Oops, I already see where I messed up. Try this...
((545+1405)/(45*3))+((13-50
6
5)/(132/3))=(-24/3)
See if that looks right now.

pssssh, so that's why I didn't get it... the numbers were written in reverse....

godder, can you post what you got from the image named "basic" first? I can't get it... it doesn't make sense to me... I know I got some of them, like the addition and subtraction part... pretty much it...
