Just a thought

Is there anyway someone can think of to completely accurately trace the imitation portion of the assessment?

You should be able to discover more in my updated journal. Be advised, ibidem is not sufficient, for it leads to as much error as truth (although mistakes can be extremely revealing).


The new cache password should be easy for any of my old friends and Lepidoptera protectors to work out.


Mutatis mutandis


We've solved this little puzzle.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Go to www.friendsreunited.com.
Log in and search for Jon Harker
Read his profile.
Write down the numbers.
Do the crossword at the Hornchurch star.
Match the numbers to the positions in the crossword.
You get a password.
Use that password to enter the cache in http://www.thehidingroom.com
You get a new entry in December to read.


The 'changes' he refers to.... this simply means he's changed the password.

You can search on this forum before posting old clues.

How to??

How exactly do you get to the site that determines your soul worth? I started this game late, I think around Jan. 1 or so, and registered at the S&S website. They sent me an e-mail, saying that they would e-mail me again at midnight that night, but never did. Is the link supposed to be in that email?, because I can't find it anywhere else.
Thanks!

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

You need to log in to Sable + Shuck website to take the test.

So... First you need a password from Sable + Shuck.
It comes in an e-mail.

I got my password-mail at midnight the same day as I got the first e-mail, so I don't understand why you didn't get the second one yet?

Maybe you accidently unsubscribed?

Another interesting lead......

One of the questions is:
Are you familiar with the Music of Spheres and the Golden Ratio?

The Music of Spheres has not yet been mentioned.
Basically, the Music of Spheres is a perfect chord, resonant from the movement of the seven planets as they orbit the sun.

The notes run in this order...


Earth - Moon a tone
Moon - Mercury a semi tone
Mercury - Venus a semi tone
Venus - Sun a minor third
Sun - Mars a tone
Mars - Jupiter a semi tone
Jupiter - Saturn a semi tone
Saturn - the fixed stars a minor third

What is interesting is that this chord, or sequence has been used to mathematically calculate lengths of strings etc for musical instruments.
When a string is plucked, it moves in a spiral similar to that of the one made by the fibonacci sequence. (the same spiral we see on the weather map, and the secret webcam photo from the hornchurch star)

This music is supposed to be the PUREST form of music... the perfect chord.

Obviously, seeing as we are trying to gain a PURE soul worth, we should have heard of this phenomenon, and understand it.

BUT... I can't help thinking that this perfect chord could be used somehow to use against Cerberus who guards the websites we are trying to get into.

Cerberus, mythologically, will fall asleep if played the right, the perfect, music! Maybe the password/code is something to do with this perfect music of spheres?

Am I going mad, or is there some deeper meaning behind all the maths we keep finding?

interesting, but that would make a very strange scale.....

c-d-dsharp-e-g-a-asharp-b-d

i will ask a professor at my school about it. perhaps he knows more.
im not so much into this stuff.. will try to find all the stuff from the internet based on this topic...

http://home22.inet.tele.dk/hightower/spheres.htm

damn interesting, but very academic.... need time to understand it

i think something has changed in taking the soulworth test....

i took it 20 times now, and i got a nice 55 lowest-70 highest everytime.

so, for me, i dont get to 15 anymore after some attempts..can somebody verify this?

perhaps they have made the soulworth pointsystem a bit less difficult.... might there be a way now, to get 100???

soul worth

I just took the test probably 7 or 8 times, and managed to work my way back down to a 15. I don't think anything has changed, although it would have been nice.....

if you follow the guide/*spoiler* on page 1 of this thread and are lucky enough to get the right questions, you'll get 80.
after taking the test for a few times you end up getting 15 all the time. you actually probably deserve a *trout* for not finding that out in this thread.
Trout
anyhow, did not manage any 80 today, did yesterday, still nothing happened.

No decrease in Soul Worth?

Keep going, grutte; you might be on to something.

grutte, that trout wasn't for you, first thing.
anyhow, you didn't try it 30 times in a row did you? i think what triggers the 15/9 is the number of times you take it in a row. please correct me if i'm wrong.
