Tier 3: The "?" Puzzle
Tier Overview
After T2ABC and T2DEF were solved, they each led to a page with an image. T2ABC led to the image "tfee_ques" and T2DEF led to the image "tfee_tion" and both depicted a large, stylized question mark. The first question mark appears to be made out of gold, while the second resembles the color of an eggshell, following the respective themes of T2ABC and T2DEF.
On January 21st, an artwork was posted in the official Discord art channel, the first new image in nearly three months. Hunters quickly analyzed the image and discovered hidden fragments of a QR code in the footer. After the QR code was pieced together, it was scanned to reveal a new secret URL of THE FINALS official website: reachthefinals.com/whydidntanyonefindme-aminotimportant.
This page had a new Nama Tama image (named "vvv.png"), which historically have been used as a source of supplementary clues during the hunt. This time, Nama Tama was holding a golden mirror and wearing a golden Civic Crown.
- The numbers 15 07 1943 were hidden on the mirror, referencing the birthdate of Jocelyn Bell Burnell.
- Pairs of numbers were found in each corner of the image:
- Top Left: 555, 99
- Top Right: 444, 888
- Bottom Left: 666, 444
- Bottom Right: 4, 444
