Gamma function eh? Damn I have to be out ALL day.

emiiily Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:32 am

Cheers tiram (:

That gamma page looks farrr too complicated for the likes of myself to figure out!

It's also a reference to Alice in Wonderland

Plus there's the little Derren next to it, Alice was shrunk too

This fits in with my theories on the box; perhaps we 'know' about the box as in, we know it isn't there.

nikki_watt Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:34 am

should we all email spearman that we have found it or, is that he knows that we know enough???

Francis Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:35 am

The box also ties in with the penrose triangle when we first entered the comp.

Makes your eyes go funny Razz

What's circled on the map? I can't work out the writing!!

**HannahHannah81** Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:36 am

Here are my thoughts on the equation:

The left-hand side looks like rw - could also look like an upper case 'gamma' and lower case 'omega' , spelling out "Go".

Also, some names for you:

Busy - can't discuss!! Smile

Some of us have emailled him... He just said to wait for instructions... .. I just said that I know about the box.

How Francis?

Oh I've emailed him too. Generic response - but then I didn't send him an interesting email.

Ages ago on Derrens blog he mentioned to tell someone we knew about the box! i think it was a link to richard wiseman's site does anyone else remeber this?

Nephthys Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:46 am

Yeah.. the link is somewhere else in this thread I think. Apparently it is just a coincidence and we are not to bother Richard Wiseman about it.

This page on teh ancient greek alphabet shows it's an omega for deffo.

I've also changed both Twitter and Facebook profile pictures to The Box and friends will probably think I'm off my rocker Razz

As far as I remember: thanks to the hundreds of people who spammed Richard Wisemans FB page with "I'm from Derren Browns Army, and I know about the box", the Derren Brown FB page was closed for a day or two by the FB team.

Might have something to do with something RW has blogged or written about, but nothing pops up in my memory right now

Where did you get omega from?

JayKay Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:54 am

The gamma function can be seen as a solution to the following interpolation problem: find a smooth curve that connects the points given by \scriptstyle y = 1 \cdot 2 \cdots x = x! at the positive integers. A plot of the first few factorials makes clear that such a curve can be drawn (for example by hand), but it would be preferable to have a formula that precisely describes the curve.

In case it's useful.

nikki_watt Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:55 am

its on the eqation thats on the map Very Happy

emiiily Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:56 am

JK you may as well have written that in Japanese or something because I have noo idea WHAT to make of that!!

How Francis?

Not very well I'll admit, but they are both shapes which appear 3 dimensional, and are kind of optical illusions - the lines inside the triangle interweave and the cube doesn't have any edges but we still create the image of in our heads.

Hardly profound I know Very Happy

I got the impression that the box or cube can be viewed as being in several different orientations depending on how you look at it. Not sure if that ties in with anything yet though

JayKay Fri Oct 30, 2009 5:59 am

Losing my posts!

I got the Gamma Omega from the map http://www.flickr.com/photos/70958677@N00/4058027492/sizes/o/

And as Hannah says, it spells GO

JayKay Fri Oct 30, 2009 6:01 am

rhcp_fanatic88 - hahahaha! Isn't it Japanese?

JayKay Fri Oct 30, 2009 6:04 am

Thanks Hannah. x

tiram Fri Oct 30, 2009 6:07 am

I can't make out the writing, what does it say under the equation?
