 Re: Cube Console
Squid and I got the PHI one. Each line of digits is missing one digit. You take the place of the digit (excepting the first) and you get a message. Take a look here (note that the digit may be ambiguous due to neighbors being the same). The phrase is "In the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom the Great Tomb he Built" and the answer is KHUFU.

Wow, we're on the same schedule... I just submitted my answer like 5 minutes ago!

 Re: Cube Console
Good work guys! I can't think of which fortune teller they are talking about. The only person I can think of is Nostradamus but I couldn't find any Italian relatives.

 Re: Cube Console
Enaxor smashed DICE to iddy biddy bits, metaphorically. She realized that they were talking about Caravaggio's Fortune Teller, and its sister painting Cardsharps. And lo, that's the answer.

 Re: Cube Console
I was just researching paintings or sculpture called "the orbit." This is the 2nd solution that centers around art. 3rd if you count the tomb...and 4th if you think catfish is aesthetically pleasing.

 Re: Cube Console
Nice job Enaxor! I love when a puzzle is completed - I find it hard to move on to other things until I can stop thinking about what I'm not seeing. And here's another angle on Orbit: I wonder if the Braille is more of a hint than it first seems. For example, there is an Asteroid called Braille that is in a mars-crossing orbit. I'm not sure if that leads anywhere, but it's a start.

 Re: Cube Console
Neat note: if you type "top" you get a top solvers list. So here are the inputs that give something interesting thus far: The official ones: Others: TOP (Gives top players) CUBE / SYSTEM (Spits out "CUBE ^3 — (c)2169 - the builders") BUILDERS (Spits out "we are the builders") 2169 & mmclxix spit out each other YEAR / TIME / DATE (Spits out "only you know the current year/time/date") SPEAK (Spits out "we are unable to speak. help us.") OPEN (Spits out "only open pages can be solved") LS / RM / DIR / CP / MV / CD / Probably other *NIX commands (Spits out "the file system is locked. unable to <do whatever you were trying to do>. builder access only.")

 Re: Cube Console
Type "Run" and it asks where you want to run to. "Error" and "error is an error" "hey" = "hey to you" "show" = "try the page command" and several cuss words make a pop up say ouch... really funny! It's a conservative silver box from the future.... or the very distant past. "clear" or "erase" = clears the screen "love" = "help save us" "man" = the help menu "woman" = "the future of mankind is in your hands" ???!!!! "laugh" = "hahahahahahahaha" "sex" = "not here" "sleep" = signs you out.
"jpg" = "1994 - 10918-1"
and this is really interesting too "email" = "the network is unavailable. unable to generate electronic mail."
" copyright " = cube os version 3 - embedded artificial intelligence system - (c)2169 the builders @ eic
"eic" = "the corporation"
"corporation" = "legendary developer of artificial intelligence systems"
