Hershey Miniatures must have totally different wrappers in the UK than in the U.S.!

[KingCliff]

Hahaha my bad!

Under closer inspection we can definitely state these are not Hershey miniatures, nor do they look anything like them apart from the shape.

Thanks for making me look again Krystyn

Finally caught up. I'm definitely going to try to get to the Toronto event... It's within busing distance

Here are my 2p fwiw... if this is 42, at this point it seems not to be an arg on the scale of ILB or LCP, IIRC, just from the method of pre-game. But then so far the 'story' is pretty self-supporting and tinag, aside from the apparent lack of secrecy in hiding 42's connection. Perhaps it's an arg somewhere between ILB and Hex168.
correct me if I'm wrong- people knew LCP was from 42, but there wasn't any direct reference to them within, right? And ILB didn't have any reference to 42 either... whereas hex168 I believe was easily linked to 42, though much less of a curtained arg; it was quite TIAG =)

Well anyway, definitely looking forward to these countdown dates.

So, it sounds like we have January 8th, then all the dates on the countdown page to look forward to...?

okay.. i don't know if you guys have already pointed this out (i did a search and didn't find anything)... and this could be wild spec.. but i see again and again (via google and edelman's site) that edelman pr is behind the launch of many projects for microsoft and they are also the pr company behind skyhook, who happens to have a fairly new free virtual gps thing called "loki". i'm sure everyone stumbled upon it earlier but here is the link http://loki.com/

perhaps "loki" would be used at the live events?

Did we ever figure out what "THe STaNDaRD" was?

I've been looking at the sheet of maths and it looks like Special Relativity to me. There's gammas for one thing and that just screams relativity, and a graph that looks like a light cone. What would be nice would be to understand the green writing, all I can make out are the clearer symbols in black, and the bottom equation is just a jumble to me although it may well include an integral. The equation that is clearest is t' = gamma t which, when talking about increments, is a relativity equation, and I think the one at the top is a form of a metric but my brain is failing me and I can remember neither whether it is correct or how to prove it. (Anyone know if there's a way to type greek symbols on here?)

Trouble is, not much out there would actually need any relativity calculations. I need to find my special relativity notes (and I thought I wouldn't need them in my new flat) but I don't see it meaning much unless we can get a better shot of the writing. Or figure out the pictures.

Of course, if I were making a video and wanted to look mathematical and impressive, I'd probably write some fake maths that looks a lot like this. But then if I followed that thought to its conclusion, I'd have nothing to investigate as my chocolate finding skills are rusty hence I'll keep pondering the deep meaning hidden here.

The thing about special relativity may relate to the stopwatches - maybe she is testing out the clock paradox - that of the traveling clock runs slowing compared to the stationary clock?

She is a scientist by golly out to confirm Einstein for herself but doesn't that take two observers? Or at least one stationary clock and one moving clock?

Maybe this is just a plain old hint to E=mc2 (yeah the 2 is squared but I dont remember how to make the superscript atm.
