Cube 2/3
What does it mean ?

Congrats to Random well done !

As I'm sure we're all aware by now the cube has 2/3 on the front of it, so what do people think it means ? Is it two thirds of something, is it the second cube of 3 and if so where are the others ??

What does everyone think and will this have anything to do with season 2 ??

I read that, then i l00ked at the pic on the cube (same logo as the acadamy) ....yeah, it's totaly 3 cubes. I hope Sente (or whoever) made 2 more, and didn't tell anyone. (this only works if Perplexicans can't read english....do'h.)

Yeah, I am guessing that there are 2 more Cubes that we are unaware about...

Well, "Receda Sphere" anagrams to "deep research". Maybe that was the prototype, the Cube is the first production model and there's a Receda Dodecahedron for the annoying hyper-competitive girl...

Or maybe I've been following this a bit too much lately...

Also, what is 2/3 as a percentage .666

Coincidence??

Well, actually it's .667. But that means that what we're missing is .333. That's where I'd start looking!

Yeah but only if you round it up, if you keep going its .66666666 etc to infinity then you get the 7 (or don't if it goes to infinity?)

Maybe its something to do with the cubists and a reference to them and nothing to do with being the 2nd out of 3 cubes??

I'm guessing that the cube we have known and been searching for is the 2nd out of 3 cubes total....I don't recall anyone asking anyone in Perplex City if there were multiple cubes....maybe a good question to ask.

Sounds like three Cubes, I suppose. Either they are the same entity, produced 3 times, or each part serves a specific function of the overall machine (kind of like transformers Razz or they stack/overlap to form the 3P symbol when this happens.)

If there were three Cubes, could be that Perplex City retained two, and Viehattle acquired one when they took Viendenbourg. That one was used against Perplex City, and the other two PXC used against Anjsbourg and Viehattle to end the war (since it seems the Cube(s) have to move physically to transport things...I think).

Was hoping that this was finally all about Zeller - that he was the one who took the original Cube, found out what it did, and tried to duplicate it or to split its powers (Tri-force!) so you'd need all three pieces to operate its uber-abilities. (Hence the Nihil obstat quote, which we saw as a quote from Zeller on Firebox.) But the Academy states that: "Some of its faces are inscribed with markings that appear to be man-made in nature, although they were documented from the moment the Cube was discovered in 7 AC. The significance of these markings has been the subject of scholarly and religious debate for centuries." Assuming this is the truth.

Out of the available objectives, I pick "world domination" or "capturing a criminal" for Season 2.

I reckon we might have to find V. We still don't even know who he is, and it would serve as a good continuation to the story. Especially since the Sentinel's been harping on about how safe the city is now there's no 3P, you just know something's gonna happen.

For those that forgot what Zeller's quote meant, it translates roughly too "Nothing shall withstand knowledge."

I suppose that's rather fitting, now that we know what the Cube can do.

(SPEC) Cube 2 of 3 suggests there are two other cubes.
According to the brotherhood of the six, this year, 270AC, there will be a syzygy.

Quote:
In 270AC, we will be celebrating the SYZYGY, the mystical alignement of the planets which occurs less than once every hundred years. Watch this space for more information about our plans!

Three cubes in a line comes to mind with receda cube (number 2) in the middle. (/SPEC)

Yippee my 100th post! Very Happy

I can confirm that "cube 2/3" actually means an arrangement in three rows of one cube and five cows. Very Happy

Dude, stop that. I don't think you realize how much power you have in a simple phrase like "I can confirm..." Very Happy
