Theori for the numbers

Every number should be connected to another number. When adding these 2 numbers togheter you get a specifik number.

Every number you ad ( x+x = A) Should be A

An idea, tryin it atm.

I see what you're saying.. hmm

If you see how the numbers are oriented, you get a different "set" for each axes depending on how you hold the card.

So, i tried writing down the numbers plus their corresponding "line" in order, and then spinning the card and doing it for each number axes. I tried it two ways: first by taking the number from each square, starting with 1 and it's line (an upside down T), and then spinning and moving on to 2, then 3, and so on.. then i tried doing it straight down the line, on each axes.. so starting with 1, then 5, and so on. See what I mean? I wrote it all out, but didn't come out with anything. I tried converting it to morse code, but again, I didn't get anything that made sense.

Do you see what I mean?

Looking at the numbers on each axes, you get these:
1, 5, 7, 11, 15
2, 6, 8, 12, _
3, _, 9, 13, _
4, _, 10, 14, _
(where _ means no number on that side).

I don't see anything that sticks out.. i wonder if these boxes all connect somehow, to form a 3 dimensional shape? i mentioned in an earlier post that I had tried to do this, but i couldn't find a shape that would work.

We've determined that the "base sequence" fits into the map
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1220&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

Now we just have to make this fit into the pattern. I think the numbers correspond with some kind of steps.. or at least the evolution of a pattern, beginning with 1 and moving on to 15. If we fit the base sequence + map onto the pattern, and try to arrange it like the "patterns" grid, i wonder if we'll get anything.

You follow?

just to clarify this.

all you need is: you, the trip package.

i know i said "cards" in a post a while ago. i amended that to "trip package" when asked a similar question later on.

Why is that distinction important?

Noi, i think we need to broaden our approach. What might the lanyard and the card holder have to do with all this?

Hey Noi, one more thing..

I just checked out the sweclockers teleport discussion.. you guys have been talking up a storm!

I can't read swedish, so is there anyway you could keep us posted on any developments you guys have over there? or get you and your swedish allies to come over here and RK?

It'd be a big help!

The things in sweclockers is only - "Its a scam" "hmm how interesting" "has to be an scam" "good scam" "haha if you fall for this pr you suck" "scam scam scam" "this is interesting, to bad it is so fuckin expensive" "scam scam"

Some say this is a PR trick for a product or some book or something, been done before..
But but.

But was mosly just sayin this was a scam, too expensive to order or something like that

But some guy had an intersting idea about the numbers and coordinates, gonna try em out.


( Send me free set of this, please Laughing )

fill me in.. what coordinates? i've been wondering if the numbers might reveal an IP address of some kind, but marc is insistent that you don't need a computer, so i guess that idea goes out the window.

i've had theories about this being a scam, but a little more in depth.. this seems almost like some kind of test, a drawn-out market research program.. as if they throw us this off-the-wall idea, some complex yet random pictures, and a little gentle pushing.. just to see what we could do.

but i hope that's not the case!

My first post here so I just have to write down some thoughts...

I read an interesting post over at sweclockers that describes a role playing game.
The idea was a game where u have to communicate together to solve this big puzzle. These people who communicates are going to make groups that competes with each other for the goal (solution).
You can't get thru the game without the cards and if you can't get hands on the cards your little group of people have to help each other out with their own cards. You have to have more cards to get on in the game.
The end shall be a price of some sort, like money.

So far all of u are doing, imo, a great job and you sure are going to solve this.
I don't care if this is going to make people teleport to mars or if this just gets people together, communicating, it's a brilliant idea and people really puts their soul in this mystery.
At the moment everyone is talking big and loud to everyone to find a startingpoint, but I think, as the ideas, soon small groups of people will get togetheter to solve the puzzle their own way.

So why do I post this?
I just want u guys to have all possibilitys wide open, don't get disappointed if this mystery dosen't get u to mars, I guess some of u wouldn't even put your thoughts in this if the physical teleportation possibility wheren't there. Or if u just see it as a fun puzzle, maybe u find yourself on mars without even wanting it Laughing

As long as u guys see the challenge and don't spend to much time thinking of the actual outcome of this, have fun and don't make your brain drive u to madness!

Just some early morning thoughts from sweden.
And excuse my bad french... err english.

I think everybody is focusing to much on the cards.
The cards might something to go via, but not to crack the answer?

Or the cards are just a medium to use while the "trip" is someyhing that is caused by your intense mindstruggels.

I dont know, I'm just swedish.

I have been tryin alot just using the cars but cant come to and any stuff that seems relevent. I have not tried the ancient maya and egytiens code etc etc, just tryin to find the easy way Smile

Well, back to photoshop Smile

Maybe what we're supposed to do is to build a "chart for electronic cirquits" <--(Is that a word? sorry, I'm swedish) hope I got it right...

Well, this could be a test. Maybe marc and the guys behind TELEPORT have made these cards with irrational numbers, patterns and sequences to see how we react. And for shure is that we will come to an answer and both marc and we says "WTF! It works!"

-----------------------------------------------------

Nope, changed my mind, after reading Beowulf post Im shure that marc and the guys know what they are doing...

None of those cards really contain any appropriate diagrams for complex electronic circuits. Basic ones you might be able to do, but I'm not sure what good that would do. Smile

I already tried it.. I also tried fiddling around with it in photoshop. I think the bridge definitely links to something, and most likely the square with 15 in it, but i'm not sure how. I just don't see it.

that razors getting dull

waaaay up at the top of this thread:
Quote:
" The hardest problem is often solved by the easiest solutions! "

I believe this is a paraphrase of "Occam's Razor" :
"Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem" ("Entities should not be multiplied more than necessary").
which boils down to: "Of two competing theories or explanations, all other things being equal, the simpler one is to be preferred"
or: 'the simplest answer is usually the correct one'
Seems like a reeal good way to screw with the heads of such an analytical community doesnt it? We'll think this thing to death given half the chance... Marc said early on that this would be a good compliment to yoga or meditation so Im using it for exactly that.
