If I had to guess I would say that it would be 8/13. So far the number required has followed the Fibonacci sequence 1,2,3,5 so the next number would be 8.

i would agree with that but the one is from a diffrent character and is on the recipe page and shouldn't be included in the seqence leaving us with the prime number progretion not the fibinoci seq which is 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 ... not 1 2 3 5 8 ... any way.

i found that last set after many many attempts .. i just kept adding letters to the subdomain portion (www) of the url www.ilovebees.com ..because each of these would use a diff. cookie, but it all works no matter what subdomain..so eventually i got to the last set.

Has anyone checked these yet? Can someone tell me if they have any in SC yet? SC hasn't got none yet and I been waiting the whole dang time!!

Dunno


Cool!

And starting at 8:59 there are two big blocks of calls to single sites. 6 for a phone at Charlotte, NC (never heated up according to one spreadsheet), and 12 for a never heated phone in D. C.!!

Has anyone hit one of these blocks of phones.
I'm wondering if it's a phone bank at a hotel or some such.

The second set is for a phone somewhere at Union Station in DC. A large edifice housing a train station, mall, and many restaurants. A few phones, too. This is week 2 for this axon. No, we haven't found the stupid phone. We will eliminate some possibilities over the weekend.

You are a hero! I wonder if SP just hadn't put them up yet and added them more recently? Did someone mail her that we couldn't find them?

New axon calclations

Following Jegger's mammoth effort we have to do new calculations. We had 377 axons, Jegger adds 31 more for a total of 408.

408 = 2 X 2 X 2 X 3 X 17

This would appear to be one of the following:

24 sets of 17

or

34 sets of 12

So we are likely up for 8/17 or another round of 5/12. Tuesday will tell!

[edit: Sept. 12, corrected my typo of "277" to "377" to prevent further confusion like that I produced in the posts immediately below! 408 was always the correct number]

277 + 31 = 308

Well, then: 308 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 11

I'd bet on 22 groups of 14, with 7/14 recipients needed to unlock.

[Edit: Well, not after that correction, I wouldn't.]

[QUESTION] Did SP give us a preview of ALL of the coords last time?
[META] 22 seems like an awfully small number of audio clips.
[SPEC] Could there be coords that were not going to be previewed for us?

EDIT: Okay ignore my previous posting. After hunting down a list of the upcoming axons, it should have been 377 + 31 = 408.

I did notice that there seemed to be only 11 files available. On the wiki, it was stated that the editor could only find 11 and not the twelfth. I think that one of the killer files just has an extremely low chance of being loaded.

is it just on my computer or have the killer.jpg pictures disappeared from the 404 page?

And if it isn't just me, does anyone have a theory as to why?

I just get a red 'x' square where the killer file should be... maybe they're preparing for an update.

/me hopes

but yeah, 'tis strange that the pictures are gone, but the link to them is still there in the HTML source. We should find out more soon.
