@bcherny My daughter made this for my /buddy Eavesdrop the Ascii snail. I logged in this morning to share it with him. No more Eavesdrop. I guess I'm looking for advice on how to talk to my daughter about the death of a friend.

🤪😂😅 😂😀😋 😍😇😋😂😇😋 😀😂🤪😍🤪😂 Another year plugging away at this thing our team still can't figure out what to do next. A little help from @TheGinterCode would go a long way. #TheGinterCode

A little nudge would be nice. @TheGinterCode For example, after we decode the larger emoji blocks, do we use that text for something? Or is that just training? #thegintercode

@TheGinterCode Well, that's good to know. Speaking for our little team, we haven't really been working on it much lately. We found the text using the bigger emoji blocks almost a year ago, but haven't figured out what to do with that information since.

#thegintercode The "Hydra Function": substitute the 2 or 3 "secondary emojis" for each of the emojis within the double stacks that have a corresponding single "primary emoji". It produces a 125-character string of emoji pairs...

@MikeMcC89915665 @AdamBuckingham Yeah. We think we know what that means, and it's not super exciting. But it's still a guess, since that particular clue hasn't really led us to anything useful.

@BosunKnows @AdamBuckingham True, true. I will admit to not knowing what I don't know, and 🙃 is among those things. It was both exciting and somehow disappointing to see a new emoji introduced like that. Mo' emojis mo' problems. I'm sure someone out there knows what it is for.

@MikeMcC89915665 @AdamBuckingham Yeah. We've been sitting on information since mid-summer last year, hoping for a revelation or a hint that actually pushes us towards a full solution. There's a part of me that wants to lay it all out there, and a part of me that keeps hoping for another epiphany.

@AdamBuckingham @BosunKnows Maybe that's why 😎 is so shady and mysterious😉. I don't know why 😎 is absent as a primary emoji. I could be way off base here, but just sharing some thoughts.

@MikeMcC89915665 @AdamBuckingham I have a pretty good idea why the hearts, crazy and sunglasses aren't in the 2/3 sets at all. But since we haven't figured out what those sets actually do yet, I can't say for sure that my hunch is right.

@AdamBuckingham There's also a few other variations on the Hydra Function. For example, you could create your 125-character string by going chronologically, reverse chronologically, chronologically, but top-down in each tweet, chronologically bottom-up in each tweet, etc.

Third question: What cards do we use? We have some candidate groups of cards, but we don't know whether we're even on the right path there. Was the hint from 4/23/21 supposed to hint at the cards? Or is that something else? #thegintercode

Second question: We identified the error mentioned in a subsequent tweet. Was it an intentional error? Or was it truly a mistake? #thegintercode

Just in case @TheGinterCode is planning a hint for the 23rd, I thought I'd make a thread to share some of the things we don't know, but would like to know. Not begging, just saying. #thegintercode
