Final Thoughts

Ok, we have seriously little time left, so i think we should all pool together. After thinking about everything we have learnt, i have made these conclusions:
1)Butterfly IS 17. I didnt buy it at first, but the fact that there were 17 butterflies in the picture made me realise something:
2)I was told the solution was staring me in the face by Marlowe digital. I figure this means the pictures, as expecting us to have a grasp of some VERY complex mathematics is a bit insane, and seems too "out-of-game". So i reckon that the answers are in the pictures on the in-game sites.

I reckon we should start a mass pixel hunt, noting down how many of the signs are in in-game sites. (Not as a huge total, but as in 17 butterflies were on hornchurch star etc)

EDIT:Some people have said that not all the signs are present, but after some searching, i have to say that they are indeed all there.

Tridents:1 in Picture 3, by the right.
Raven:1 in same pic, on line.

EDIT:
I also swear there was one with a dog in it, and i thought it was in the one of the air hanger, but i cant find one. Still, if there isnt one, remember 0 is also a number.

you've been looking more carefully than i have!

i am not sure about the snake though. the only thing that looks like a snake on the crossroads picture is the man in black's tail.
and why is there nothing on the hangar photo?

That isnt his tail is it? It isnt present in any other picture. Im sure i remember seeing a version of the hanger pic with a dog on it. Was i imagining that? I was so sure there was one. The hanger picture is worrying me a little.

because other pictures are taken from other angles. same reason why you can only see his hooves on one picture.

did you manage to find a plan b then?

watching the 24 finale, and for some reason i dont think ill have any illumination regarding this puzzle during that.

Plan B was to cry. Didnt work. Ive decided to pretend his tail is a snake. Makes me happy anyway. Btw, my count is now on:
Butterfly:17
Flame:6
Crow:3
Trident:2
Snake:1
Dog:0

I have decided it is good enough. If it doesnt work, then oh well, i tried my best, and whoever wins it truely deserves it.

where's the 3 crows?
where's the 2 tridents?

here's my final thought (in the last 2 hours)

tonight (infact now) there's a STELLA ARTOIS film on channel 4 called From Hell.... i was gonna watch it anyway... but i'll be making extra notes if there's any clues.
it's my last hope!!!!

I counted repetitions of a photo but that had ome slight changes, so the was a reoccurance. But mostly they are in my head. :S Anyway, they didnt work.

ah well, the 24 season finale was far more exciting than the last 4 months in this ARG.

As an aside, the HWAU site reminds us that the MIB is the serpent incarnate...maybe something to do with this?
