I mentioned this when it came up in the main research bread a few days ago, but it's worth mentioning again here.
Back in feb/march after a lot of the hive mind started to figure out wtf Q wanted, 2-3 others and myself discovered the 111 day pattern. Other subsequent patterns were found but most all lost and just focused on the clock now. It had some early iterations, a few that I made, first in excel and then an early iteration of the current clock from that excel. At the time, we were just thinking about close dates and could only see out to 11.11, whatever that was. So I sent the clock out to 11/11. I thought about 5:5 and 5:50 being 11/22 and 10 nights later, etc…so I extended it to 11/22.
Others found more things, like tomorrow being beaver moon, JFK, thanksgiving, etc. People were freaking about the end of the calendar. Well, it would be nice if tomorrow is something interesting, but we've clearly extended the clock after I mention that it was fairly arbitrary. Some rational behind it. I wanted to make it clear because it was turning into a Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy type thing. What is the meaning of life? 42. Why does the clock stop at 11/22? 5:5?
