I think the idea is to watch pietro, and see if the advisor did anything. I'm gonna do it and then report back!

also floors 150-159 can be accessed, maybe if we use the logs to try and identify which dot is the advisor. To watch all the dots on each level for 26 days is going to take a loooooooonnnnnng time....... Shocked

The Advisors Movements

To find out which room the advisor lives in we can guess that she lives in a big room, if not the biggest because she earns a lot of money (the comprendo transfer) and we can deduce which room she lives in and therefore which blob she is by matching up the movements of one of the blobs with the movements of the advisor.

How kind of you to ask. Very gallant. I am well. Have just taken a quick jaunt up to the bakery to buy some coriander-lime buns in fact. The view from up there is so peaceful one might believe that nothing ever went wrong in this city.

I'm sick of safe. I'm sitting in the atrium right now. Come and find me. Let's have coffee. Like regular people.

I realised how long it's been since I last spent time in the forest. So I'm going. I'll be away for 24 hours. I'll be in touch when I get back.

I have just returned home. I was at our agreed meeting place. I told you to come unaccompanied. Did you think I wouldn't spot your minder?

The advisor says that she has access to the few floors around her room, so it stands to reason that she would be in the middle of 150-159 (no?) so i'm taking a look at 155. Also, it goes faster if you pause it, and manually select minutes and hold right (at least on a mac)

I just did a quick scan (carpal tunnel here I come), and note the following..

Right,
S00-99, R00-99 (except R14),
SR0-9 (except SR4),
SS0-9,
RS0-9,
RR0-9,
SSS,
SSR,
SRS,
SRR,
RSS,
RSR,
RRS,
RRR

don't allow access to anything.. So it's just numbers 150-159 are known and SR4 and R14 that have data.

I've not checked 000-149 or 160-999...

if i was going to monitor the floors around me i would monitor the floors below, because they would have to come up in order to get me. so i checked 159 and i think rm 14 *MIGHT* be the advisor, she leaves and arrives at all the right times.

I think we'll find quite a few "solid suspects" oddly enough on floor #156, room #14 seems to tally too.. Can I suggest a collaborative effort here?

Each person take a floor and a room set (say 1-11, 12-23 or 24-35, as far as I can tell, there are 35 rooms per floor), and monitor for the following events..


Must be alone in their own room, or with someone (eg, not sharing a room)
Arriving in room on day 20 somewhere between 20:59 and 21:26.
Leaving room that day (or next), and being away for a significant time.
Arriving in room shortly before 17:38 on day #1. (say half an hour)..

If someone matches that pattern, post it here, if you can exclude a room, post it here (format #floor:room) yeah?

I'll take #156:1-11 for now.

According to the "Song" log file (sweetserenity), the advisor leaves their room exactly 1 day, 15 hours and 43 minutes before 6:13pm on the 10th of June.

(Which, according to my calculations, is June 9th, 2:30am)

June 9th is day 16 in the java program
Also is leaving and returning to their room on day 26 between 4:41 and 4:59 am


Edit: corrected time... It's early morning, we can all make mistakes.

And it's a lot easier to go through rooms than I'd thought..

I'm up to room #23 on foor 156, the only suspect (which I've eliminated because it didn't leave for 24 hrs on or after the 14th of june)...

Crashed twice so far....

OK, after another crash or two, done #156. Only vague suspect is in room #14 if someone wants to cross check. I couldn't actually locate room #35, I'm sure it's tehre somewhere..

Moving onto #154 now.. (will check back to room #35 when I find it on another floor!)
