The Isis Adventure

Hi people

Ok, I've got three ball bearings (can tell by the sound), but am no further as yet...

I only got to this stage by using the "11th clue" (dominant theory of the universe), and I honestly can't see where in the original clues you would get this information.

So, I have one question: even without the 11th clue, do the original 10 clues (from the booklet) explain what you actually have to do to get the third ball bearing? I mean; could you know what you had to do WITHOUT the 11th clue? The 11th clue was pretty explicit, and I just wonder if this was stated (though not so obviously) somewhere in the other clues?

I reckon (I may be wrong) that if I can figure out how the first ten clues tell you to ********* (do what you have to do to get the 3rd ball!) then I might be able to figure out what else they're telling me to do, and more importantly, how they might be telling me to do it!

Many thanks for any help with this!

Have you had a look at the heiroglyphics on the packaging?

Yep!

I translated/transliterated them as soon as I got the box, in case they told me (not) to do something when I opened the packaging! It was from reading these that I bought myself a compass to test the Isis, but I didn't really see any other major clues there.

Are there some clues I'm missing there? I know what it *says*, but I might be missing the significance!

Check your pm

Ah... I think I see where you're coming from! Thanks

i still dont see where your coming from....
actually put the damn ball down for a few weeks cos it was doing my nut in, cos even if i think i know how to open it after what i have worked out extra and people on here droppin a hint or two it doesnt seem to make any difference...think i might be destined to be one of the 95%

Yeh, dont give up Im sure one day you'll just pick it up and open it
How far do you think you have got with it so far? What clue do you think your up to?

im definately up to the last part... think its clue 7 or 8 not sure of the number... but it is the finaly stages to opening it i know...
cos i can twist it 1cm open and i have managed to get it to 180 twice but unfortunately these were fluke incidences...
so then i am working on making it turn the opposite direction from the one it does for the 1cm.....
im hoping that one day when i pick it up randomly itll just twist open and ill be pleasantly surprised./..
im literally at the last stages and i just need to make the clues work so to speak...
itll happen i hope....

Hmm, interesting.... sounds like your getting there
Shouldn't be too long now before you've cracked it

rofl hahaha....
yeah been here for a while now!!!

Having re-read your previous post, I'd rethink what stage you think your at
Being able to twist 1cm does not necessarily mean you're where you think you are

I did decode the words on the side of the box and they seem meaningless. Then someone said something about "check your pm." What does that mean? I got my puzzle a week ago, decode the clues in a few hours, translated the symbols that day, and I've gotten NO WHERE since. I also don't see how people are getting XXXXX from the big bang theory.

PM is private message-and as a reminder-no direct information on how to open the Isis should be posted.

themagicdude, firstly welcome to the forum

The words on the box are not meaningless, though they don't add a huge amount to what you should know already.

"check your pm" has nothing to do with the puzzle... pm = private massage

You may have decoded your clues quickly but the Isis itself is a completely different kettle of fish, some people open it in a few hours (which is phenomenonly good going!) another guy I spoke to recently had spent 11 months on it... there's a reason the 5% club is named as such

You'll hear this a lot, but just keep reading the clues and try to find a way to link them to the puzzle and what you should do
