In reply to my emailing a thanks for sending the shell.jpg (chambered nautilus) Isabel from TIMI wrote:
Thank you! There are five shells, and each one has its own importance.

Do you like to collect things?

Just wanted to say hello here. I have been following along and am up to the point of having submitted my to-do list and chess piece and have received the nautilus picture.

Whenever I see a nautilus, I think of the Fibonacci sequence. 5 is the fifth number in the Fibonacci sequence (if you count 1 twice). I think nautilus proportions extend through 5. Could this be the significance of 5 shells?

I, too, immediately thought about the Fibonacci sequence when I saw the shell, so I emailed them about that. They replied that there's gonna be total of five shells (like amandel said) and that the Fibonacci sequence is relevant. Nothing more yet, but at least we know that it means something.

I sent TIMI an email asking if there was any special significance to the shell and got this reply:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Yes, there will be five shells total, each with a different meaning and a different story. What you should do with those shells will become clear in time.

Remember that we often collect beautiful things, like shells, but sometimes overlook things that are not as beautiful, but still important.

i'm still convinced that someone who is better with stego should check out the pic, beyond that I guess we'e just waiting on more instructions.

So i see there is a new challenge...

I could probably rattle off a few of them quite quickly member selfie drawing of self ect but when it says they want us to work as a team... and only need one submission for each... so do we discuss it here first before submitting? could get the retweet from someone witho over a thousand followers for deffo and possibly one from someone with over 10k followers but that might be a long shot

Since it stresses working together I think we Should collect whatever we can submit here first, then submit them. that way we're not all spamming TIMI with the same responses. And I think I know some people with a lot of followers I could convince to retweet when the time comes. Unfortunately I'm about to leave for work for about the next 6 hours, but I'll see what I can do when I get home

Well, I don't have fish (real or stuffed) or a cat, so I can't do those Smile I do have a shell, so I can do task number three.

I have a cat but don't often have him around while I have sushi, but I may be able to come up with something.

However if we don't take the pictures ourselves there's always this photo.
