The EIEIO part could sounds strange because of the math substitutions Snider made. It could be, like, three pi three pi two. Haha I'm such a nerd. Razz

I'm analyzing the video frame by frame right now. There is some very interesting stuff in there and I will post as soon as I get it all organized. Then I'm going to go back and analyze the previous videos the same way.

Personal notes from latest video

I think this may be worth spoilering, although it contains no solutions.

My notes themselves:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Spring" Segments
0:56 – nothing unusual noted
1:08 – strange yellowish shape in lower left corner
1:21 – large "e"
1:32 – small Greek "pi" toward lower left corner, but only in later frames, probably due to editing
3:04 – long spring clip, nothing unusual

Pumpkin Placement
camera speeds up past the place of the pumpkin
1:06 – it appears that the pumpkin is there on a pan shot as Steve turns around. IG or oops? Second opinion?

EDIT: Spring scenes are of same area, but not the exact shots themselves. This game appears to have been well thought out.


My thoughts on my notes:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I thought "Pi? Why pi? We've already had that." Then I realized that maybe it's a clue for e, another mathematical irrational number, which is used to help determine constantly compounded interest.

e ~ 2.718281828459045235360287471352

So what is it a cypher for?

Oh, duh. The number e could be what snider replacesd with the letter e in EIEIO. And e has plenty more properties than just for calculating interest. Haha. Mathematically, it is defined as the limit of (1+1/x)^x as x approaches infinity. It is its own derivative. It's really a very interesting number. It appears in maaaany equations pertaining to expotential growth and decay, especially in lower-level calculus. I could really go on forever. Ill spare you all. A pretty important equation linking pi, e, and i (square root of -1) is...

1 + e^(i*pi) = 0

I'm done now, promise.

Very interesting.

I'm sure there are many uses for e, but I recall (and maybe not correctly) that it was discover in a quest for continuously compounding interest. Either way, I would guess here (if the hypothesis is correct in the first place) that it is to be used as a key.

Higher math was never my forte.
Maybe it's something simpler?

Say...
e+i-e+i=0
e-i-e-i=0
e*i-e*i=0
e/i-e?i=0
e^i-e^i=0

or summuch.

Pics of things I found in "Spring" segments

There is one more picture but for some reason I can not seem to save it right. Its in the first spring section and it has a similar figure as in spring 2, but it is in the center of the screen.

My inner editor feels the need to point out the word 'anybody' is currently on both the recent website updates. It's even in all caps on one of them.

Could be a clue, though I'm not sure to what.

you are a genius yellowcard.. e = 2.71 pi = 3.14

That's the password to the other site.... remember 271314 (the old blog disappeared after that). how does this fit in now? and which do we use EPI or 271314?

5 clips.....
0:56 – nothing unusual noted
1:08 – strange yellowish shape in lower left corner
1:21 – large "e"
1:32 – small Greek "pi" toward lower left corner, but only in later frames, probably due to editing
3:04 – long spring clip, nothing unusual
5 letters E.I.E.I.O (thinking aloud)

Wow, nice find, Sylvia.

So does this video mean that strange things are happening in the Marsh or is it because of the presence of Jeff?
