Top of IMFRIENDLY page

Hi all, new to the forum, new to Zoe, and new to ARGs in general

I noticed at the top of this page

http://www.imfriendly.co.uk/

In the Multi Access ad, the computer on the left has lights that flash seemingly randomly in the dots that go up and down. Has anyone made anything of this? Could it be a code? One thought that occurs to be is that it is six dots wide and several deep, possibly mimicing the neck of a guitar? Maybe chords are involved somehow?

Also the numbers

3453
2006
3905
4236
8056

appear, in that shape, on the right side of the ad at one point.

Has anyone made anything of this ad? I haven't seen any posts about it (I looked, if I missed them, sorry for the redundancy).

Anyhow, this ad has a "replay" option which makes me think it must me something.
There is also something that appears below the words "24/7" at one point that look like it could be dots and dashes, something like Morse Code? Also lots of small flashing boxes in a grid on the right side of the ad that could mean something.

You may want to use the search function at the top right of the page as there are at least six pages discussing the flash here:

In fact it was the very first thing we did. Trout

Man that seems like ages ago now.

Started working with these numbers some more:

3453
2006
3905
4236
8056

Lined em up in a spreadsheet, each number to a cell. Added each row across and each column down (I know this part's been done before, bear with me):

3 + 4 + 5 + 3 = 15
2 + 0 + 0 + 6 = 8
3 + 9 + 0 + 5 = 17
4 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 15
8 + 0 + 5 + 6 = 19
----------------- ____
20 15 13 26 | 74


But, I discovered (as shown) that by adding the sums down and across, each adds up to 74:
15+8+17+15+19=74
20+15+13+26=74

I'm thinking this has to be more than coincidence, but I'm not sure what else to make of it... Any chance it relates to the other 2 possible 'codes' in that flash?

Muddy

<edit> 74 is a divisor of 666, leaving 9. Also, I found there were 665 frames in that particular flash. The prime factorization of 74 is 2x37. 37 has a lot of mathematic significance (it is a factor of all 3 digit repdigits, for example.) Still can't seem to apply it to anything concrete yet.

<re-edit> I'm an idiot. All squares of numbers, when treated like this, will add up to the same thing. I just demonstrated associativity of arithmetic. Sorry about that.

it could be.. we all thought there
was something in that area but
it was never solved

edit: there is a great summary of all that was found
on this page
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10042&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75

also could the numbers be associated with keys on the computer
keyboard? since we've had that code before.. maybe here?

I... don't... understand...?!

you understand maths, yet you don't Wink

hehe, actually it's kinda funny. Math(s) was my major in college.. but I'm one of those guys that'll miss the forest for the trees quite often.....
