I thought so. It looks like he's doing the pause face before the wife brings in the kids.

p. 26 + fax

I really think this will work:

If you zoom in really far, towards the X, and highlight the whole blob, if you copy and rotate it transparently using a picture editor(even paint), numbers will randomly appear(they look digital style). I've also gotten an arrow and a butterfly like shape.

Though most of my results are random, I believe if you use the Dark Dollars arrangement(same symbols in the corners), it will tell us exactly how to rotate two copies of the images and overlay them exactly to form a number/message.

It would be easier if you had two large transparencies IMO.

Thoughts? Someone with more time and better tools want to try this?

I have my calc final in less than six hours, so of course I'm obsessing over this instead of studying (or sleeping). I'm new to ARGs for the most part, though I've been following TIMM since almost the beginning, and I think no one has mentioned this in any great detail:

It doesn't make sense for the 'doleful city' chart to have axes unless it were a line graph. If you overlay the 'long walk' graph onto the 'doleful city' one and scale to fit, you get this:

Which actually makes sense, given the axes--it shows the same general trend as the table from the scientific journal that was posted in the trailhead thread, though not perfectly.

What struck me, though, was that the line perfectly covers the '!', which doesn't happen elsewhere. Maybe '!' has some significance, or (273, 4000)? I'm probably completely off, but it just seems odd to have a graph without a data plot, and it's almost like the chart is just a background.

You'd be surprised how many people are avoiding sleep/study tonight when they should be in bed. They know who I'm talking about. Get thee to a bed! And good luck on your finals tomorrow

Thanks! The finals were a bit of a disaster, but there's not much I can do about that now.

In other news, I emailed Michael Lewis regarding the chart, and I got this back:

Now we just have to reverse-engineer the table and find out what function can give a result of !, NO?, 2010, 84, 3, +, Q, M, and █D for the specified inputs.

If this is indicating the 84, maybe that means that there's another drop in the same book in the library, since that was the volume that had the first drop.

Also, if a future fax were to indicate the box with 2010, that could represent a drop at the place that is labeled "Leo's Hair 2010" in the second video.
