Don't buy into this stupid shit.

Viral marketing and teasers are some of the stupidest ways to hype I've ever seen.

Commercially? Yes they are indeed horrible. But they are also oh so fun to solve.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

It says 2007 because he and his friend had the idea for 2 years.
Will translate the interview.

Kaas, doe es beter je best joh!

HERE WE GO:

- MYSTERIOUS MOVIE ON YOUTUBE! It's called wuts in tha box. made by a Dutch physics student called Tim smit.
- No budget movie (Like kaas said, like 175 dolars and a pizza)
- Hollywood loved him and called him
- Here they are, the student Tim Smit and Dutch master of Special Effects (Wasn't in the project Miniman.... Dumbass) Tim Oliehoek
- Tim and his friend had this idea for long time, they made this for a workshop
- They have everything set up to make the movie, but they just wanted to test their capabilities.
- 20th century fox called him. They were very polite.
- Ramble ramble, not very interesting.
- He explains that books and internet can teach you very easily how to make these kind of effects.
- They talk about how there's finally something cool in The Netherlands (And I freakin' agree), but how off it is too.
- They get back to Hollywood
- Hollywood asked him how and with who he made this.
- LOLZ 6:47 hilarious. 'Oh my god', was the reaction from hollywood when he mentioned he only used 150 euros.
- He now is having contacts with Hollywood, but no offers have been made.
- He wants the movie to be first-person viewed. Like Cloverfield.
- Bald gay guy says the leading character needs to find a chick. Stupid gay guy.
- Lolz, Tim smit reacts by saying 'And then they go shopping together and stuff, right?'. Gay guy is mad now.
- He explains that there is no romance but it's still going to be great
- Shows over.


Thank you very much.


This is the interview translated.

Not clear yet, it's not even told whether it will be the same subject and such.
Well, probably it will be, it's about a box :')

Are all of you too stupid to use google?

This is the article in the background of the anti-cube.

Looks like people are investigating some sort of energy source, and the box is what they got.

Yes, no one is able to google. What gave it away? All the googled up links or something more subtle?

Well, the fact that simply googling "and the ideal spectral characteristics of the dye" turned up that link on the first result.

And noone else posted it.

Plus, lern2irony.

M seems simple to break down.

Let's use P as our variable right now.

345.799857432464643C/23436.780P


Multiply it using the Trimolical Method, as to solve for P.


3421P=87

Use another form of trigonimal formula.


21p/37

So simply it's M=345.34•C9•24P
