Wasn't referring to that, but rather the title of the pic (images/son-of-where.gif)

How many digits are there in Fib(n)?
So, now you have enough information to answer the question:
How many digits has F(1000)?
Computing LOG (Phi1000/√5) is the same as computing
1000*LOG(Phi) - (LOG √5) = 1000*LOG Phi - (LOG 5)/2 = 208.638155.
So 1+the whole number part of your answer is the number of digits in F(1000), i.e. 209 digits.
In fact, you can find the first few digits by using the rest of the LOG answer as we'll see in the next section.

No clue what it means or if it help, just saw the Fib(n) and the 209.....

I plugged it here and it gave "infinity" as the answer.

I am math impaired (seriously Very Happy

)......so I don't even know if that is a useful piece of info or not.

Sorry I couldn't send in an email, wasn't around for the early ARGs or in chat much during this adventure, and so wasn't sure to which games all the puzzles referred.

dont know what posessed, decided to take the filename and ROT it. ROT-6 is the most interesting...

t040753shpwuel10fia original

z040753ynvcakr10log rot6

Ok, the letter Z is 26....

at rot 6...
6 to 26, notice how the last number is spelled out....

the 10log at the end of the redo might say it all around,....

well I'm a dolt...

didn't even realise it was solved... a little explaination as to how the solution is done would be nice.

Just something plain and simple none of this cryptic solutions... i don't want a puzzle I want an answer Smile

A detailed walkthrough of the solves of 8 AND 10 would be appreciated.

On 8, I gather we should have focussed just on what lit up, in order going row by row, using the 12 highlighted squares to make six pairs (converting all reds to letters and greens to numbers): so (did I do this right?): 4b-a6-0d-eb-f3-c5

Now sorry to be a dolt but it took me overnight to realize that when Stiltskin said base 16 he meant hex. So convert those pairs from hex to decimal: 75-166-13-235-243-197 and then convert to base 36: 23-4m-d-6j-6r-5h (couldn't find a converter to go direct from base16 to base36)

How do you get from there to thesecret?
