And if it looks like it's in BA, those over there might want to start making videos in light of the new requirements they hinted at.


I've got a few people working on it, but no responses yet. One's a Hungarian whose parents speak Russian, one's a Russian friend who's hard to get ahold of, and one studied it in school but can't sit down with it til tomorrow. So, we'll see.

 		Thank you, Laura! I have sticked to the voicemail for long, but the only word I could add to sapagoo's transcription was "7" before "circuit" Very Happy

Why should they make videos? If I understood it correctly a video will be taken from the pick-up person from the ring keeper and send to Theo. Theo will than authenticate the person.


Then how would Theo know the person? Doesn't *that* require a video?

(Forgive me if I simply don't know... I haven't followed this end to end)

 		Yeah the theory we're going on is that theo higher ups will watch the video and compare it to the list of theo operatives. How did we become operatives? By taking the oath on video. That's how they know who we are and that is what they are hopefully checking the pick up video against.

 		[Meta] I assume the PMs (James) collect our ideas how to cope with the situation and than decide how the story will go on. [\Meta]

James wrote:

You've all had some really good ideas for how we can get around the new
regulations... let's keep in touch this weekend while you all figure out
where this ring is being kept, then we can come up with a plan of attack
from there.


I asked James if there is a Theo computer system that we can hack or where he can put faked information about our own pick-up person. Others have suggested to observe the place and try to get the ring after the official ring transporter has picked it up. Do not know if this was just suggested here or also to James.
Sending people that have already done their uninitiation task is just another possibiliy. Athough in my opinion a very difficult one, if there is not someone near BA who has done this task already.

[Update] We should continue this discussion here and keep this thread for solving the fourth ring puzzle.

 		Wish they'd stop torturing us by leaving the US one last...

BTW: I've mentioned I'm new to this... on the "secret site" I see a red dot. Does that mean anything? Isn't there still an artifact missing (14B)? Don't want to sound stupid in posting a new thread...

Language: Russian.
Password: Pentathlon. (Supposing a mistake)

And now I'm fairly sure about listening comprehension of the following
Omphalos #7 = Porto Alegre
3817 stadia Athena 10 = Montevideo (very accurately)
115 stadia Apollo 8 = Suburban area of Montevideo

However, if
1150 stadia Apollo 8 = Buenos Aires (very accurately)

I'll bet TheO made another mistake here, and that the destination is BA!!!

The last Omphalos was is Garzon (in south america) and should be yellow at this point. All of the previous omphaloi should be red.

 		hmrpita just got the wonderful and talented Omnie to translate the Russian for us. Here is her writing.

Theo,
Agent Sveta, with new information on the movement of the 4th ring, La Sesa Ringo. The previous place of the location of the fourth ring was 3817 stadia in the direction of Athena 10 omphalos number 7. From there I moved the ring 115 stadia in the direction of Apollo 8. Right now the ring is [something like "safely"] hidden with a friend in a [meeting location?] placed at the very highest point of the [samesterkiy?] labyrinth in a seeable place [in plain sight]. First a turn to the left, 6 and 66 [stodih] stadium width from side to side, where the entry to the labyrinth is a medical school of a government university and where the cross of the labyrinth is carved in the direction of gemini 0. To get the ring for the next turn and pass it on, you should give "parole" to the keeper of the ring.


We think the 6 and 66 stodih is probably a decimal. Also, she's certain about the 115 stadia for Apollo 8...

Hopefully this rings some bells for our Buenos Aires friends.

Phew, that is awesome! Can she also do the recording back to the voicemail, of sapagoo's fake directions?

Great job, Omnie and hmrpita! It's greatly appreciated!

I've been sure for 115 stadia, but I'll stil bet Buenos Aires.

Does University of Buenos Aires have a medical school?

EDIT: Ok, this is the one. Here's a map.

samesterkiy should be seven circuit.
parole (пароль) is password in a dictionary.

Supposing the labyrinth width is 6.66, the destination has been calculated as this area.

Meeting location?

What does *that* mean... Anyone?
