Click at least once anywhere in the screen and then start typing.

I wouldn't have even figured out that there was anything on that page other than the floating dots if it hadn't been for this forum Wink I was like "so this is the secret... lame"... then I came here ^_^

Taurec, just type any key, the command line will appear.

I was answering Taurec thinking it was the last post of the thread, not even seeing there was a page 4. Carry on, please.

I'm not. I see one red dot.

You know, red was not a great choice of color... what if you're red-green color-blind? [spec]Because the CODEX command mentions red being pending navigation sites and green being active navigation sites, I assume in the future we'll see green dots...[/spec]

I don't see any red or green dots... only white ones. And an agglomeration of blue dots on the north pole of the sphere.

I see 3. It looks like one in China (Beijing would be the likely guess), Iran or India (it's really hard to tell), and somewhere in Europe (looks like France).

There's one red dot in there somewhere. I was speculating about green dots appearing at some point, there are none as of yet.

Odd, the red dot I see is right next to the North Sea, north of Germany.

I'm seeing two red dots right next to each other, somewhere around the border of Bangladesh and Myanmar (Burma).

I've left the page running, and they've remained in the same place. I'm curious as to whether the dots will change if I reload the page...

Just got a response from Markus about the login on this site

Quote:

Hey you!

I said "thumos696" typed. Then I have a message to get something with the "strength / right right finger / rhr" had to be done. I have tested it, I have thumos696/8.1/54 typed, and then Enter typed, and have received the following message: "Thumos696 is active." This is all so confusing. How can this hidden site know how long my ring finger is? The first time when I came there ausprobierte an error message (I have written 8.0), but then again, I have measured and the second time it has worked.

You know what this site means? Now I know 100% that someone or something is behind this thing. I was right, be afraid!

All the best,


And in the native German...

Wie kann diese versteckte Webseite wissen, wie lange mein Ringfinger ist?! Das erste mal als ich es ausprobierte kam eine Fehlermeldung (ich habe 8.0 geschrieben) aber dann habe ich noch einmal gemessen und beim zweiten mal hat es geklappt.

Weisst Du was diese Webseite bedeuten soll? Jetzt weiss ich 100% das jemand oder etwas hinter dieser Sache steckt. Ich hatte recht, Angst zu haben!

Alles Gute,

A little by-hand-brute forcing

I just got sofia doing it by hand using a few guessed parameters for finger length and RHR. I am going to spoiler my methods and answer.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Having Markus' info, I guessed between 4.5 and 8.1 cm and between 50 and 69 for RHR.

I hit pay dirt on sofia696/6.6/54


Note that no other word was required for it to say it was active.
