 		Enough attention on these clues?
Do you think you are giving enough attention to these clues?

The puzzle on Sable & Shuck asks you to rank the symbols in order of their preciousness. Sable & Shuck's philosophy is "the worth of a thing is what it will bring".

You're asked to return to the beginning. Was www.thisisnotatypo.com not at the start of the game? Typos appear frequently throughout the game.

 		OK....

It's not your regular 'i fund a CLOO but i cant tell u's where'

We might as well collect together all the typos.

 		That was just one of many different ways of entering the game. And i didnt see many/any typos in this, maybe appart from the guestbooks in the pathway travels site.

 		Yup, your memory must serve you correct, as I remember it too! I believe that road was pretty fruitless.

 		Problem
Of course there is a problem with this. sure we have some typos, and we might even dredge up some clues to the order of the 6 signs. But we also need to number those symbols. Its looking for Order and Number for these symbols.

This leads to the question is number the same as order? ... If the Worth of a Thing is what it will bring, is the number of the thing the same as worth?

Or are number and order seperate? we have lots of numbers thruought the game. the golden ratio (e), the Fibbanocci sequence, and lots and lots and lots of other random numbers. I would think we need to think of places where the symbols and numbers are together.

That being said there are LOTS of loose ends. Clues we never seemed to use. The whole Th CRC seems important, there is something in that puzzle, the numbers adding to palindromes seems odd. there are other spots where we found palindromes.

The whole Exit/Edit music for a film seems kinda impossible to decode, there arent clues linking that to anything else, no symbols, no numbers.
I mean other than completely randomness. Like hell the difference between x and d or C and E... but again now weve got a number and no symbol to match it. If we are to find the 'Worth of a thing' or the number of a thing. We need to find both number and symbol together.

Man so many random clues that dont clearly link up...


Hmmm... X marks the spot. just a final thought. The signs come from the Book of Star(stella) ... Jon once told us all he knew is in HWAU and the hiding room. Perhaps... there are clues in the hiding room we just havent picked apart yet. Something right in front of us so obscure we passed right over it without a thought. Im gonna look back into the Hiding room and see if i can find any of the symbols in there.

 		something i noticed.
To track the delivery of your services and luxury commodities, enter your reference in the tracking box - exactly as it appears on your contract.
........

........
In order for Sable & Shuck clients to monitor the delivery of their most worthy commodities, Inferno Cargo has today launched an online tracking tool with the help of Marlowe Digital.

Ive also noticed that every aquisition on the Sable and Shuck site got
FMGC AND something else. JHarker got Services Option(Love, Lust, and Debauchery) ... FMGC seems to be Beer. Food and Beverages. ... Also jon noted that FMGC was the apple, adam-eve, snake deal. Every aquisition seems to get this. its the only option not to have a Tainted and Derivitive difference, its all 6 6 6, ... another oddity, Supernatural breaks the pattern as well. starts with 4, then 13, 39. ... 1/3 of 13 is 4.333333
All the rest are 1:3:9 in ratio.

Again no clear symbols. I cant help but think that the signs arent really listed in very many places. HWAU and each S+S site.

 		Heh, well of course they ordered the food option! They all wanted the Stella Artois!
Also, ive said time after time that it is more the numbers we need to look for, but im stumped now. Ive tried too many combinations to be healthy, and nothing worked.

 		Maybe 'Edit music for a film' means we should do something with the music on the Sable + Shuck advert. There's a voice in the background that says a line from the film Dune.

Maybe we need to edit this music?

Back masking or something?

Isn't it Exit music for a film? By Radiohead? (Which can be found on "OK Computer")

Yes, but there was a 'typo' on thehidingroom that made it show up as 'Edit music for a film'.

I find it hard to believe that this was a typo because it is in the flash, and I don't think they would have typed it, more likely they drew it.
