 		dude!

yes, indeed, on frame capturing, 1:38 is contains the first frame of the activity room. good call Smile

so... 1230768000


eta: just for the sake of it, the first time, 1:22, isn't actually the fennel, but the guy walking across the grass in front of the sun. so perhaps a miscalculation on the timecode for the one by a second or two on their part, since the next scene is the fennel. but that's unimportant Smile

'm pretty certain the timings on the video is of significance, but what are the two first numbers for then? Maybe two and zero are incorrect.

The first two numbers would define the order of the appearances...

Code:
10 - 1:22
20 - ?:??
30 - 2:45
40 - 6:02
50 - 6:29
60 - 9:58

If this is true, then we know that we're looking for an appearance between 1:22 and 2:45.


Molecular pointed this out already, but the only place we have a family tree in the video that's not listed in the 5 times is at 1:38. I just re-watched the video twice and it's nowhere else. There are 6 appearances of the family tree so 1:38 seems to be the magic number...

well we got them at 1:38, considering one of the earlier frames were of a drawing, there's a whole bunch of drawings of them on the wall in 1:38.

Question being, are we now looking for something specific AT 1:38, or what?

Edit: There's also one located at 2.50, guess we should find all the missing ones and figure which fits best with the code?


wow, i think im contributing. i watched the video, verified family trees in each of the time codes and assumed 1:38 was the other time code. on a hunch, i added the 20138 (missing numbers) as a directory to thisismymilwaukee.com and got:

http://thisismymilwaukee.com/20138/

This does not give an error page, but only gives the following number:
1230768000

i checked other directories around this number and tried 2:50 as a missing number too but only got 404 missing page errors. I think "1230768000" is our next clue.


AWESOME. Very Happy

I was thinking about the five blanks on the graph on page 27. Could these numbers play in there?

The fennel is actually visible at 1.22. You can see the guy holding it. They always state the timing the fennel first is visible without going out of vision. Otherwise we'd be confused when to count in the playroom. When the fennel is zoomed out, or in?

Edit: Also, could the number be a date/time?

30th of december 1976 played into mind for me. Notable though is that 3rd of december 1976 the first heart transplant was conducted. Bearing in mind the funnel DOES look like a human heart -_-.

 		So to incorporate that data into the table we have to undo what we did to get the numbers we got right?

 		According to epoch time conversion:
1230768000 translates to : January 1st, 2009 12:00:00 AM which was/will be a Thursday

dont know what that means though...

Yeah, I ran across that when I googled it, too. That means that that date+time is 1230768000 seconds after January 1, 1970. Computers use seconds since that date to measure time. It seems too coincidental for that to be an accident, so I think we're supposed to take the number as the date you found.

EDIT: We could take it just as 39 years, in seconds.
