Escape: NEW ROOM (come in and be amazed)

[#HBC | Kary]

i don't know, JTB's answer suggested the numbers go in 1 at a time.

I think it's probably a sequence of numbers, probably one that goes on forever, like the fibonacci sequence or whathaveyou (0,1,2,3,5... keep adding the two previous numbers) but that by definition starts 0,1.

Bardull, i'd guess 2 if I were you.

 

[#HBC | Mac]

heres my 10 sec drawing, youre not getting anything better lawl

assume that was one person falling

 

[#HBC | Kary]

It could be an irrational number like pi, or the square root of two, but I don't know of any that start 0.0 or similar

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

Each of the holes leads to room from which the floor bottomed out, correct?

 

[#HBC | Mac]

@kary: using your amazingly accurate ruler, you determine the screens size to be... irrelevant.


hm, actually i think its important to say that def decently bigger than a person. You can assume the mic was on the bottom this whole time

I turned the lever in a circular motion, and it corresponded and make me go into an infinite loop.

yes the holes in the floor led to the individual rooms

I'm thinking that "it goes on and on again." I think what we want is a solution that is a repeating decimal as opposed to an original nonterminating that, presumably, goes on forever.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

The two hints. One repeats and one is Pi, which is a decimal.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

****, I may actually know this one. I had a math class and my teacher had us learning common stupid decimals.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

I think the solution could likely be one more unique number, then a repeat of the first four. Thing is, I'm missing the hint for the fourth number.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

We already know the radius of the circle, macman said it was about a meter in length. Someone know how to determine the circumference of a circle?

 

[#HBC | Kary]

circumference is pi x diameter; diameter is twice radius, circumference of one of our holes is therefore 2 metres times pi (3.14159 etc.) that is to say 6.282 etc metres.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

12/9990 is equal to 0.0012012012012......

That's a repeating decimal that would fit the sequence, but it's not based on anything that we can see.

 

[#HBC | Kary]

how'd you get to 12/9990 out of interest?

Also if someones' going to guess, I'm thinking '2' as the best guess

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

Multiples of 3 yield stupid numbers. Adding a 0 to the second number yields a zero at the beginning of the sequence. It was guess and check.

I'm working backwards because I'm missing a piece and I have no idea where to get the piece to make the equation work.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

It was a hunch, but at this point, multiples of three make logical sense if I was looking for a repeat of three or less digits. However, I think we may want a repeat of 001x001x. If we went with the answer I just proposed, it would be nothing more than a slightly educated guess.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

Confidently go up to the microphone and speak '2' into it.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

Ugh, ugh, ugh. I can't make four digits repeat (although I can make more than just that number add up to something that'll work).

 

[#HBC | Kary]

wish Soup good luck

I was just thinking, the song that goes on and on, it repeats itself.
But pi, the number, it's irrational it never repeats a digit;
are you sure we're looking for a sequence that repeats, rather than just goes on forever?

I mean, they both go on forever; but only one of them repeats, so to speak

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

For example, 15/9990 does the same thing with 0015015015.......

Soup just took a COMPLETE shot in the dark.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

It doesn't hurt to try, Math is not even close to my best subject so I'd rather just be bait if this is the case, it doesn't seem like we can do much else and there's nothing really hinting anything.

Maybe we're on completely the wrong track, but I would rather look at it. Whatever our solution is, it's based on something infinite due. We've got the never ending song, we've got pie, and we've got two infinite circles.

What's the hint with two separate but similar circles?

 

[#HBC | Mac]

raggy boy goes up and speaks '2' into the mic: The screen flashes green and the number 2 appears after the 1.

A pleasant smelling aroma is emitted from the screen, and as soup breaths it in, he passes out.

ragnarok can't post until further notice.

looks like 2 was the best guess

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

Pull the man back and prop him up on a wall.

Good stuff.

0,0,1,2

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

I have a CRAZY hunch that the final answer will be 0, 0, 1, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0. I have nothing to back this theory.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

I THOUGHT we had a Fibonachi number going on, but a Fibonachi number cannot start from 0, 0 , AFAIK.

Unless there's some use of them I am not aware of.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

God, I probably butchered that spelling.

 

[#HBC | Kary]

woop woop go Soup

I have nothing to back that theory either.
I'm considering fishing for more clues.

pretty sure it's not fibonacci

('tis spelt 'fibonacci' though)

 

[#HBC | Kary]

I kick a broken keyring flashlight into one of the holes, and watch to see whether it's still going round in a loop.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

I was simply looking at how it behaved. It is getting one more than it should in a Fibonacci sequence, but that 0, 0, is wrecking me at every idea I turn to.

I'm going to go in there, I suppose. Get me out, preferably before I get sick enough to puke.

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

Go to the left hole. Stick an arm out and see if there is suction. If not, climb down the ladder. Be careful not to fall.

 

[#HBC | marshy]

nah dont. send me cuz im ****ty at this puzzle

 

[#HBC | marshy]

welp

it does

prolly goin to bed soon, if i dont respond its prolly cuz of that. ill be back in the morn to handle actions

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

Want to see the angle of the fall and the handle itself.

 

[#HBC | Mac]

Go to the left hole. Stick an arm out and see if there is suction. If not, climb down the ladder. Be careful not to fall.

no suction...

? @above

 

[#HBC | Ryker]

So it's just fall really damn far and slide back up based on your momentum or something along those lines. Nothing that should stop me reaching that lever if I am careful on the ladder.

 

[#HBC | Mac]

you try to feel around for the ladder in the hole, but you can't seem to find it.

 

[#HBC | Kary]

I'd rather go up to the mic and ask for a clue

I think it's magic- your momentum wouldn't be enough to fling you up into the ceiling.
