according to the downloadable jpg, there are 37 resources.

if there's something there, it's likely that it's not a straight-on alphabetic substitution cipher - unless the 11 remaining resources are eliminated as bogus or represent other things like numbers. doubtful but 26 letters and 0 to 10 would then add up to 37.

Re: It's not a table of elements

[davedubya]

Can I assume it's already been pointed out that the list of elements on the Investor Relations page has a few mythical substances in it?

- 147 Adamantine
- 219 Carmot
- 119 Eitr
- 247 Orichalcum

Ok I've gone through all the patent numbers on the corporate timeline and save for the first 3 or 4 numbers of two of the patents, they'd don't match up with these primary resource keys at all, so I think that's a dead end.

This whole thing reeks of Alchemy, guys.

The anomalies from the Weyland "Periodic Table"
-Module 1.6 PRIMARY RESOURCE KEY

These do not fit in the real Periodic Table. This is what has been added by Weyland. These are teh references we need to research on. IMO.

Keep in mind it's not even a fictional periodic table, it's a fictional "resource key".
It just looks like a periodic table, is all.

Now we need to get organized, sort these suckers out. Which are fictional, which are not. Which are rare, which are abundant.
The numbers are important. Obviously we all love the cipher idea, even though personally I fear it might not be just that simple. Their format is important, like some are in 000, 001, and another is 6.
Then 147 is repeated, and 45 as well. This should all mean something (as far as we focus on that table).

someone might want to double-check. i've ordered the resources according to years at current rate of consumption. there are 30 lines:

eitr
tridium
uranium
tungsten
manganese
rare earths & adamantine
yttrium
orichalcum & rhodium
indium
cadmium & molybdenum
hafnium
graphite & gallium
cobalt
water
platinum
tantalum
zinc
carmot & tin
antimony
germanium
nickel
titanium
chromium
lead
gold
silver
copper
aluminum
phosphorus
coal, gas & oil

some of these are a hairline difference from the next. others appear to be right at the same level, hence the grouping in the same line.

Exactly...

Mythical/Odd Elements

We should keep in mind those resources with their proper chemical symbol, those who don't, and the fictional ones, that way we can sort them out in order of significance.

The /eridu image has the characters TAS above the PP logo, and the file is also named TAS. Any relevance you think? I found TA in the resource table but no singular S...

EDIT: sorry, just realised it's just initials of the password... duh.

Nice. The best would be some kind of online spreadsheet we'd all have access to, we could assign each "element" to its number and quantity and sort them out all kinds of ways, numerically, alphabetically, we could color-flag the"odd" ones.

Well, that's kinda sophisticated, but the idea is there, it'd be very easy to boggle the symbols and numbers around and maybe create words that tickle us just right.

I like Adamantine though, if it's so directly related to Prometheus..

On a more down to earth and almost unrelated note, remember the last puzzles? Maybe we really shouldn't be overthinking this, actually. Or at least not for the moment. We're low on clues and pushing a game on a hypothetical .url directory.

I'm gonna get some sleep. Have fun!
