    Concerning the HOSPITAL red letters: the "T" is on the ground. All the hospital letters fly up and away except the "O" if I am correct.

    also NSPIV - for the third time, where did you find the backwards alphabet?

    Ah... that's kind of... Put me off the whole idea of it then if the T is actually there, the thing with redlynx is that the R is not anywhere.

    Also the alphabet is found when you go into the 'who wants to be a billionaire' challenge thing where you have to answer the fmx picture questions, it's visible when you go free roam on camera. It disappears after a minute or something. I was thinking it may be some algorithm for randomising the questions you know what I mean? So that it's not the same order as last time, and maybe the person who created it put it there for reference, don't know why they would. I still think it's probably going to make sense later on in the easter egg if we get told some kind of 'key' to use to solve it all.

    ^ Okay, I'm pretty sure the letters are just stored there, to be used in that mini-game challenge. Good find nonetheless.

    It's hard to say if Mutetus expected us to be this resourceful when he shared the image on facebook. But a clue is a clue.

    Never mind the video, I just updated OBS and didn't verify my settings so it doesn't reflect what was going on on-screen. I was TRYING to show the sound returns the same spectrograph.

    There are two sounds heard, the first is the image just processed. Straight to audio. The second higher pitched sound has a spectrum shift of 1200 Hz as I was trying to sort of mimic what information is available in the image provided.

    This is just meant to be a guide of what to listen for. I'm pretty sure it won't just be background audio as you drive through a track. It's most likely in a place that's hard to get to. Hard to find.

    To me the higher pitched one sounds like birds, maybe even lower frequency crickets...? Happy hunting.

    ^ Hey, are you on Xbox One, I wouldn't mind having a chat at some point and maybe go hunting for it.

    Also, say if I turn off the music on the track, I'm guessing it will only turn off the background music and everything else will still be available to hear e.g. the easter egg high pitch noise.

    Thanks for the post, gives a clearer idea of what to look for.

    I was thinking it was how they worked out the different possibilities for the challenge, but the thing is, I couldn't figure out any kind of pattern, there are 14 questions in the challenge, but 11 rows, so I mean it does seem a little strange that it's there, but I guess if it's useful, when we get to that section of the riddle at least now we know exactly where to find it. I will hop on now and play through some of the dlc, try and find something

    Hi guys , noticed that on the new charactor objects pieces in the awsomet dlc there is the same 3 icons of the charactors at the bottom in real small. Being that the objects have that transmission setting i wonderd if there was anyway make these stand out more and take a look at the finer detail, I have tried but no luck , maybe if there is away to blow them up in size ? its proberbly nothing guys but thought i would add to the thread that they are there

    Hey I collected a bunch of images from in game last week and finally am ready to take the time to crop down and share them so here goes:

    First up, the cat warriors that funktastic mentioned in the previous post.


    and


    Then there's this Russian (google thinks might be Romanian) text when you face down the subway car. I figured it might translate into Metro or Subway or something.

    All I could get from "CЮДA" was "CYUDA".

    Next up is most likely just a fun reference to the original Total Recall film.


    This next one is pretty interesting. UGF LYNX? With a shift of 3,1,3 from the developer name.


    Here we have some scattered letters placed around the "mars" portion of this level. A few more can be found out of view in the background of this shot. This might be nothing, even more than the rest of my "might be nothing" collection.


    Then we have the barcode. Two of them actually. Scratch that, maybe one, with an extended width. I've had little to no success with the barcodes. Reading them has proven very difficult. First time I tried I got back "12464692" but then the app took me to a site that wouldn't load with "scan error" in the address location. Then on a newer phone I got "1$4" and trust this even less.


    Finally I'll leave you with this image, taken from the computer screens in the game. Not new, if I am correct, but worth having here, in this thread. I made some adjustments to make it easier to read (for us humans and maybe OCR).



    ONE MORE that I didn't screencap is right before the hospital with the red letters that float away, there is a timer/clock/panel that has (if I remember correctly) the numbers 058 on it. Can't miss it.

    I didn't keep track of what levels these are from, shouldn't be too hard to find again.

    Hmm, the barcodes have a double helix below them, I wonder if it has something to do with the clones.

    First of all, Thanks to IFTHIS for grabbing the images. Most of them were new to me.

    I spotted that double helix last night also. For those that don't know, the double helix is the structure of DNA as shown in the image below.



    Having a barcode and DNA really makes me think of this story where scientists coded messages within DNA.

    http://singularityhub.com/2010/05/24...ed-in-its-dna/

    This article came up as part of the prior riddle investigations but most likely a dead end like 98% of everything we do. Just thought I'd share that. However the barcode bars and the numbers don't match. As the numbers are 0 and 1 only it's digital however that string of binary doesn't seem to make anything???

    Random thoughts, do with them what you will.

    Also I ran that screen grab through an OCR site so we can perhaps dig a little deeper if you want.

    I have not tested to make sure it's accurate and it seems to have some issues but it's not a bad place to start. , just had a few minutes at work. Also refer here for the site I used:
    http://www.onlineocr.net/

    Can you confirm, is that computer screen just in the editor? Its just an object with this on it?
    I just uploaded the image and it was done in a few minutes.
