Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

Well, there is the theory that Brock gave me... genetic sequences or codes...

That sound very good.
Anybody good in genetic codes? As far as I know they are letters. So the most simple one should be letter/number correspondence.
And what type of sequence we are looking at?
A bird? A parrot...
Then "?" still should be a divider.
For me that sound like the best theory so far. Very much connected with the album, so it could make an excellent first clue.

A fast google search as genetic code and numbers lead to something that may be interesting.
If somebody has the time to check that numbers with our code, I have to go now, will be back later.

If anybody wants to give it a shot, here's the binary for our numbers:

00010000011100100000000100000000000000010101000000 01001100010101000100000011100000010000000000000011 001100000000????0110000000010001011000010011100000 11100101000101100100110010000100100101000101010000 0001010100000000000100010111

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

Ok, my last thought for the night:

I'm thinking that the numbers are mathematically significant in some way because of the numbers of digits on each side of the ?

_______ ?
______0 / 6
_____30 / 01
____003 / 161
___3810 / 3839
__31510 / 45932
_001501 / 125150
1072010 / 1500117

it doesn't really mean anything but seems like too much of a coincidence for there to be a perfectly increasing number of digits from 1 - 7.

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

Does anyone think there might be clues in each "Leaflet"??

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

This is from the site that InfaredDream pointed out.



Notice anything interesting about those symbols on the outside?

And for those that may not remember why I Ching is relevant to dredg:

hell yes they look familiar... hahaha know anything about iching? haha

this could be a good direction.. but im not sure how it would translate? but I do have a book that everything you need to know about I Ching (book of change)
---
so i'm getting something like "AGGAAAGGU" for the first few...
this has got to be wrong.. right? this is more confusing looking then the numbers.. hahah

but i do agree with Billy, these symbols are a little to coincident to pass up...
---
watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS7CZIJVxFY
not sure if it means anything yet...
but less then a minute in.. it already says...
The Fibonacci sequence, named after leonardo of Pisa, is a series of numbers where, after two starting values, each number is the sum of the two proceding numbers.

i'll finish watching.. then look into it

scratch that.. cool video.. but doesnt work..

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

The symbols on the CWA paintings were hexagrams: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Ching_hexagrams
The symbols on the DNA sequence image are trigrams: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagua_(concept)

[RckNorCal425]

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

correct,
and its been awhile since i've studied up on my I Ching but...
The Hexagrams were made up of two trigrams..

ex.
Lake:
__ __
_____
_____
Water:
__ __
_____
__ __

but as a hexagram
__ __
_____
_____
__ __
_____
__ __

K'UN / OPPRESSION (Exhaustion)

yes?

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

Yes, that's correct.

File this under shit I noticed...

When broken into pairs of 2, numbers that repeat...

10 72 01 00 01 50 13 15 10 38 10 00 33 00 ? 60 11 61 38 39 45 93 21 25 15 01 50 01 17

10 -- 01 00 01 50 -- 15 10 38 10 00 -- 00 ? -- -- -- 38 -- -- -- -- -- -- 15 01 50 01 --

In pairs of 4, it's only 0150.

And after that... nothing... but you can evenly divide the numbers by 2, 4, 7, 14 and of course 28. After that, nothing. Fibonacci doesn't work, I like the idea of the trigrams fitting in somehow, but at this point, I have to agree with anyone that says it means nothing cause right now, it means nothing. Though, I vehemently disagree with you, Ars. I think I'm over thinking this.

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

Why is there a space on the second side:

601161383945932125150 1500117
_____________________ here

That's something that is quite weird to me... But there's 7 digits after the space so maybe we're supposed to break this into 7s?

I think it's just the forum breaking up the line because it's too long

Yeah, the one on dredg.com does not have the space and that is the one I am going by. Last night I freaked until I rechecked the dredg.com site. Ha!

F these ZERO's... they are causing problems... hahaha

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

i bet it is zip codes or area codes. but not all on the west coast like was previously posted.

[Gnomad]

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #1

Area codes are a little more likely, cause the theory for the zip codes was rather arbitrary... still, there were some codes in there that weren't accurate or even possible.
