New guy here, been reading and playing along.

I also am stuck with no "exam" folder. It got me wondering, I am on an Android device and was wondering what device those who are seeing the folder and those that are not are using.

Android - both Motorola Xoom and HTC Evo with no folder.

Got there this morning. and now the Lars/New research is locked. But the Lars/Pentagon is still open. Hmmmm....


mine is locked after two messages. you might need to backtrack some more. try re-opening the exam folder, opening the pdf & re-running a few commands in the terminal around that point in time.


I opened that folder over a dozen times and that finally worked to close the last Lars thread. Thanks!

ios.

for ios, there's a few fixes in it that should be in the app store shortly. hopefully they'll take care of the android issues so everybody can be on the same page.

tidbit - found on the daybreak site:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.daybreak2012.com/sounds/doda_3000.ogg
sounds just like the tone in the app's dashboard.
frequency anaylzer flashes a '3' & a dodecahedron shape.
786Hz = 3
528Hz = dodecahedron


right above chapter one, the closest dodecahedron on the upper right appears to be not operational. just make a mental note since they might try to sneak some info there later when chapter 2 is released.

from the trail thus far, it seems the links pdf has at least two more clues to solve: the top two links. the dashes might imply they are terminal keywords to find.

recapping:
1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUaepEymSK8&feature=youtu.be

decoded: h p w?


2. http://earthacupuncture.info/sacred_geometry.htm
information is energy; irrational functions.

for convenience, mr. toasty has posted a download to this pdf earlier:
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=944407#944407


edited to add:

the youtube link above had the analyzer display a '5' on 784Hz, which shows that the frequencies have a tolerance range for each character. so, while the dodecahedron is supposed to show up on 528Hz, anywhere in the vicinity can trigger the same character...

this error range might be challenging if we are to input a specific number in the terminal. we might have to try a range of numbers in the general area if that's the case.

1. I have gone over that youtube link about a dozen times and I get the following letters at the times stated on the PDF:
G P F

This was on loud desktop speakers.


2. This is what I get from the earth acupuncture site. There are no other references on the site for these:

Information is Energy:
Quote:
Information is energy. Physics refers to the basic unit of light as a photon that came into being from an electron that increased velocity enough to break out of atomic orbit about a nucleus. This photon, reflected off a viewed object, carries information that travels in waves through an eye to file an event-image as memory in the brain. Metaphysically, the perception of an event-image, or point on the wave of experience, received through photonic transmission, is interpreted as a symbol by the ectypal consciousness. These symbols of interpretation, frozen frames of understanding, are the crucial link between the typal and archetypal consciousness. The continuous flow of interpretations becomes the proportional harmonic feeling of moving through experience. In other words, a human interprets the proportional harmonic flow of experience event-by-event geometrically through the recognition of symbols.


Irrational Functions:
Quote:
The distance of the square's diagonal or the circle's circumference would never be known exactly because they make irrational functions (1:Ö2; 1:p). Irrational functions demonstrate graphically a level of invariable and universal experience, which is the key to opening a higher reality of number. Number has a definite, finite, particularizing power (quantity: exoteric/external; arithmetic), and a universal synthesizing power (quality: esoteric/internal; numerology). (Lawlor) Cosmology utilizes arithmetic for its structure and numerology for its meaning.

I also found that in both the 2nd youtube video and the earth acupuncture site refer to Pythagoras (Father of Greece)

Insert from earth acupuncture site just above the irrational functions insert:
Quote:
Pythagoras (560-490 BCE) said, "All is arranged according to number."

I am also curious about the numbers at the top of each post on the jackboxer web site. So far we have the following which doing a Google search for all of them does nothing.

112 19 201 3 07 22 05 24 311 113 04 S28

I think the S28 is a 528. It was the first blog post up and was posted on 5/28. Even better 528 also fits well with the doda shape as 528Hz which helps to suggest it is 528. This also makes all of them numbers if this is accepted. Juxtapose it with link 05 (Sacred Geometry) as another suggestion.

I take the numbers as identity tags like image 112, link 19, audio 311 etc.

It's interesting that image 3 isn't 03 as preceeding by a 0 is the standard on the others with a single number.

you can see the number fonts 1 to 8 in the dashboard of the app. it is indeed a '5'.

the style font is supposed to reflect that numbers in this world are related to the dodecahedron, so have a polygonic style to them.

I don't have the app but indeed they like to trace the numbers on the Jack Boxer site startup over the lines connecting the vertices within a pentagon/doda.

Doh! Yeah I had a brain fart....


Ok so:

112 19 201 3 07 22 05 24 311 113 04 528

We know what 528 is.

It is interesting that the 3 is not 03.

I also tried the YouTube link and the letters I got were:

L P F

I did a google search of lpf and the first result came up with Low-pass filter.

Could be irrelevant, but thought i would throw it out there.

on a different, faster machine i tried the youtube video with the frequency analyzer & got 'L', 'P' & 'F'. strange.

then i went back to the original machine where i got 'H', 'P' 'W' multiple times & got 'L', 'P' 'F' instead. very strange. others might want to verify just to get a consensus.

if it is indeed low pass filter, then we know there's a cutoff frequency somewhere. we've been introduced to 528hz as the dodecahedron frequency already.

since humans, on average, have an audible listening frequency range of 20hz to 20khz (20,000hz), then we're not necessarily dealing with radio waves (higher frequencies) or infrawaves (low, inaudible frequencies) -which could possibly mean that music or other sounds could be related somehow sometime in this game... as well as directly related to the terminal command.

the flickr image labelled message #2 could be in los angeles:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/79477252@N03/7310445310/in/photostream

identifying other images in the picture...

first off, street artist visual narcotics 20mg has been displaying his art around in art exhibits and sells stickers that could be posted anywhere by anyone. so it sounded like a deadend at first in finding the city. but, he moved from chicago to los angeles, so either city is plausible.

the tablet pill in the message #2 photo can be seen here, dated july 2011: http://www.flickr.com/photos/twentymg/5967658902/in/photostream
by then i'd assume he'd be in los angeles when that round tablet pill was circulating.

on the side i've been looking up bacon tags. more of the elaborate ones are in toronto and other cities or countries, but then came across this article on laist with the same basic handwriting (the article sounds like a clueless guess on the bacon tagger):
http://laist.com/2010/02/22/las_bacon_fascination_penetrates_ta.php

so, clues have converged to los angeles as a possible location of that photo.
