THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)

DB-IB Fi(0) T-1319 SUM(10,7,5,3)

DB-IB: David Braben - Ian Bell
Fi(0): the first number of the fibounacci sequence
T(now?)-1319=1984 start of Elite
Sum(10,7,5,3)

I think:
We need to find out the Fi(0) of the Elite from 1984 (by David Braben and Ian Bell) and just add the Fi(3), Fi(5), Fi(7) and Fi(10) of their fibounacci sequnce...
This should give us a number which is maybe a HIP or HD catalog star, which we can just search in the galactical map... Or am I thinking too easy? :D

The german transcription of the poem says
"Mutter der mutter des odysseus" (the mother of mother of odysseus) ;)

Not exactly sure what you mean, but I guess you find the answer you are looking for on this page: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Random_number_generator
 
I guess you mean translation - but which poem do you refer to? I am confused.

Edit: If you mean the 'riddle poem' from Galnet, is the German translation official? I doubt that very much. And even then, why has the original version not been corrected to say 'Mother of the mother of Odysseus'?

See my edit.

Edit: Okay, just saw your edit, Klumpozyte. But my question is still valid.

No. 3 was confirmed? In german it says "delta canis minoris" which is Yildum (matches in Name, HIP and HD) and not epione...

You can correct me by show me the confirmation o_O
 
Have you realized that ROC (Right On Commanders) are Fibonacci numbers?

I ask for help, I'm very bad at this.

A bit offtopic at this moment, I know.

See my edit.

If you change your games language to german the Poem will be shown in german which gave you a lot more tips than the english version (sadly we realized pretty late... btw the spanish and french version seem to ne exact copies from the english version, only the german one is (completely)different!)

It shows up in the galnet article so yes, it is valid :)

Here is the full poem in german (maybe somebody understand it?)

Der Fluss hinab in die Unterwelt

Gaias Tochter, die Fruchtbarkeit verspricht

δ Ursae Minoris, der Osmanen Polarstern

Fiel dem Biss der Viper zum Opfer

Auch als Nemesis bekannt

Chimäras Bezwinger

Die Linderung der Schmerzen ist ihr Geschäft

Odysseus treu ergebene Amme

Mutter der Mutter des Odysseus

Anführer der Titanen, Vater des Zeus

Er wurde in einen Falken verwandelt

Schamlos schöne Tochter des Daidalion

Sohn der Gaia und des Uranos, Vater des Atlas

Mutter des Odysseus

Herr der Winde

Gott der Finsternis

Alten Roms Zeus, liegt heute in Sol

Lieblingspferd des Achilles

Die rasenden Rachegöttinnen Roms

Eitle Königin, Mutter der Andromeda

Nur scheinbar ohne Wert, wie andere schon lange vor uns

wussten - erst Fibonacci bahnte ihr den Weg ins Reich der Arithmetik

Given the answer the German line yields, I am quite convinced. Still, I am very surprised that the English version hasn't been corrected so far...

That probably means 19 = Furiae.

Good catch.
Fi(10)=55, Fi(7)=13, Fi(5)=5, Fi(3)=2
Sum=75. Does that make any sense? No to me.
551352: Does not exist as a HIP number is ED, nor as a HR or HD number.
Only taking the first digits: 5352. A HIP star exists in ED. HD 5352 gets me to HIP 34028. HR 5352 does not exist in ED.

In this page http://theramist.co.uk/ooliteinfo/oo.php you can see how the original Elite galaxies are created using Fibonacchi series. You can enter your own seeds and check the result. Dont know if this helps.
