Indeed! Can we get one like that made for ring #1?

This post is also META, but I'm not offending PM, rather I want to help pickuppers of the remaining three rings.

I've been thinking why distances in the voicemail were extremely inaccurate, in spite of showing 4 or 5 significant digits. For example, the position 8644 stadia from Dongying is 60km east from Osaka. This is not caused by the inaccurate direction.

I tried conversion of the distances into miles.
(8644 stadia x 0.185) / 1.609344 = 993.659528 miles
(5176 stadia x 0.185) / 1.609344 = 595.000199 miles
(26.183 stadia x 0.185) / 1.609344 = 3.00983196 miles
These are 1000, 600 and 3 miles, within 1% errors.

I suppose the original distances might have only one or two siginificant digits.
So I'd like to advise future pickuppers that we should not rely on the accuracy of distances too much.

Speaking of future pickup-ing, when do you guys think the next move will occur ? I'm starting to wonder whether TheO has realized there's something going on.

I assume that this picture (based on chapter 27 of the Codex) is the clue to "decrypt" the important final message. So we need from each ring the "yellow part" of the message.

BTW. Are ring #1 and ring #2 of the same size and is there a possibility to extract the yellow part?. I mean are the rings totally symmetric or is there a possibility to define the top of the ring or the connection to the other rings?
