0 Guest Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 every 4th transform is the indentity, therefore, 528012->528012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Matt B is probably right I saw a little pattern here: +0 +2 +3 +4 +0 +11 +22 +13 +0 +33 PS you missed 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 curr3nt Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 every 4th transform is the indentity, therefore, 528012->528012 How do you know 528012 will be the 4th since numbers are being skipped? 9 isn't a multiple of 4 but yet you refer to it as a 4th.

0 Guest Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) How do you know 528012 will be the 4th since numbers are being skipped? 9 isn't a multiple of 4 but yet you refer to it as a 4th. It was a WAG, I thought about that fact after I submitted my answer. Most likely it is just a bunch of random numbers meant to confuse us...
