COLORS BELONGING TO NAMES. PHRASES BELONGING TO COLORS. ANSWERS BELONGING TO PHRASES.
The phrase references roles on the Discord. Roles are titles given to users with specific names. Roles can also be assigned specific colors that can alter the color of the user’s name. This is how colors can be associated with phrases, and phrases with answers. The answers in this case were specific roles that TwinBuilder had altered as to remove select characters from them.
The roles TwinBuilder altered were as follows. Characters that had been removed are placed in parentheses.
Meg(a) Miner

FURTHER ACCESS BLOCKED BY ORDER OF OVERSEER. PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. FAILURE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS CORRECTLY WILL RESULT IN PENALTY LASTING FOR UP TO TWO-FOUR HOURS.
ONE: TWO TRAINS, TRAIN A AND TRAIN B, SIMULTANEOUSLY DEPART FROM STATION A AND STATION B. STATION A AND STATION B ARE TWO-FIVE-TWO-POINT-FIVE MILES APART FROM EACH OTHER. TRAIN A IS MOVING AT ONE-TWO-FOUR-POINT-SEVEN MILES PER HOUR TOWARDS STATION B, AND TRAIN B IS MOVING AT TWO-FIVE-THREE-POINT-FIVE MILES PER HOUR TOWARDS STATION A. IF BOTH TRAINS DEPARTED AT TEN HOURS AND IT IS NOW TEN-EIGHT HOURS, HOW MUCH LONGER UNTIL BOTH TRAINS PASS EACH OTHER? RESPONSE MUST BE IN CORRECT SYNTAX.
TWO: WHO STATED THE PHRASE “ANY SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IS INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM MAGIC?” RESPONSE MUST BE IN MYTHOLOGICAL SYNTAX.
THREE: WHAT IS THE SERIAL NUMBER OF EARTH “PRIME,” A REPRESENTATION OF EARTH, FICTION’S STANDARDIZED “LIFE” PLANET, KNOWN FOR ITS UNIFORMITY AND CLOSE PARALLELS TO NONFICTION WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ITS INFLUENCE ON TWO SEPARATE UNIVERSES?
FOUR: HOW DO BALLS CUE?
FIVE: WHAT ELEMENT ON THE NONFICTION-ORIENTED PERIODIC TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS HAS A FORMAL NAME OF “Og" AS OF THE YEAR 24 A.R.?
SIX: WHO IS THE SIXTH CHOSEN?
SEVEN: WHY IS ARMREST SUCH A HORRIBLE PERSON? BACK UP YOUR ANSWER WITH EVIDENCE FROM TRANSDIMENSIONAL BROADCASTS INTERCEPTED FROM UNIVERSE <>. USE AT LEAST THREE EXAMPLES IN YOUR RESPONSE.
EIGHT: THE STANDARD METHOD OF SUMMONING BILL CIPHER IS TO ARRANGE A SERIES OF CANDLES WITH A PICTURE OF THE VICTIM IN THE MIDDLE AND REPEAT THE CORRESPONDING LATIN DIATRIBE, AS PROPOSED BY STANFORD PINES. USING YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE OCCULT, WHAT IS A NONSTANDARD METHOD OF SUMMONING BILL CIPHER? BE SPECIFIC. FOR BONUS POINTS, DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND SUMMONER ONCE THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE.
NINE: DURING THE EPILOGUE ISSUED BY THE OPERATOR AT THE DAY OF EXCEPT, THE FOLLOWING PHRASE WAS SPOKEN BY OVERWORLD MACHINATIONS ENTERING GODLIKE APOTHEOSIS.’ “Listen to me! Project Binary’s not dead. Circumstantial simultaneity’s a tricky thing. Curses go beyond time and space.” WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY THIS? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
TEN: WHY DO THESE DATES HOLD SIGNIFICANCE TO FICTITIOUS CULTURE? BE ABSOLUTELY SURE TO BACK UP YOUR ANSWERS WITH CONCRETE CELESTIAL, METAPHYSICAL, AND TANGIBLE EVIDENCE. A - SIX NINETEEN. B - TWELVE ZERO SEVEN. C - SIX EIGHTEEN. D - NINE ZERO ONE.
Each question has a specific answer. Only when all ten questions were fully answered could the game progress. The correct answers are:
ONE. THREE-TWO-POINT-ZERO-FIVE-EIGHT MINUTES (32.058 minutes) using official syntax. The question and answer were taken from Undertale.
TWO. TALIST. Although Arthur C. Clarke created the phrase, Talist, a player on DTG’s Zodiac (a series of mythological figures), used it several times in DTG1.
THREE. #0000012048372. It was shown at the end of the #probect_pinary channel’s rules. Considered a “bullshit question.”
FOUR. HOW DO BALL CUES? The question is a trick. The answer is the original spelling of the phrase. Considered a “bullshit question.”
FIVE. OGANESSON, the proposed name of element 118, ununoctium.
SIX. SIOL or SIX are both valid answers. It was shown in a /loominarty command during the Probect Pinary ARG.
SEVEN. Erelye gave an essay on the subject: “Armrest is such a horrible person because she believes it is her fault that she was created as a defective Homeworld soldier who ended up with the Crystal Gems, among other things. This is exemplified by her evident loneliness, caused from feeling separate from the other Crystal Gems as a so-called defective gem/runt, leading to anger clearly shown when she traumatized Greg and then made up for it by cleaning out his garage, because he once more stopped hanging out with her because of Steven (leading her to think she’s but a replacement or cheap alternative to good friends). Similarly, it is shown in how she kidnapped the child of her mother figure because she wanted him to hate her because of her semi-horrifying origins. Finally, she immediately began to attack her fellow friends and family simply because she believed they were standing against her. This is evidenced in the shown end of her stint as a pseudo-professional wrestler, as well as her combat with Pearl in the Kindergarten.”
EIGHT. Erelye gave a response on the subject: “I carved a triangle into the wall of Limbo-Grayhold, and then used grando autem triangulum in place of the primary Latin chant, with everything else proceeding as normal. The environment is absorbed into a monochrome uniformity as time slows to a still, and the summoner is dragged into their mind, wherein Cipher greets them.”
NINE. Split gave a response on the subject: “What he means is that Probect Pinary exists due to the players interacting with its interface right now. This means that somewhere in time and space Probect Pinary is still technically alive due to being a prototype of Project Binary.”
TEN. Split gave an essay on the subject: “6/19 is a significant date due to its importance in the world of Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared. The entirety of the series takes place on that specific date, only changing on the calendar when the reality of that dimension is reset. 12/7 is a significant date due to it being tied to several important events in the Trifecta. The first is the start of the First Godmodding War, the second is Zero Hour (in which a meteor slammed into GodCraft and the Godmodder used the Black Monolith,) and the third is Monochromium (in which Flare Flames escaped Antichamber and received the FEZ.) 9/01 is a significant date due to it being tied to other important events in the Trifecta. The first is the start of the Second Godmodding War, the second is One Hour (in which a special meeting was held at the Conclave and Project Binary began the Descent) and the third is the Second Flash Mob (in which the Descendants rejoiced after their victories in the Second Godmodding War.) 6/18 is a significant date in the universe of Gravity Falls. Firstly, it is the date of Alex Hirsch’s birthday, the creator of the show. Additionally, the number 618 and various permutations of it pop up in places all around the show’s universe, making it a recurring Arc Number, albeit one of dubious importance.” (This question was placed behind a Vigenere cipher, encoded with the word “INTERROBANG.”)
Once all ten questions were answered, TwinBuilder posted a link. Visiting it reveals the final stage.

Shifting the character string, E_IooCH, forwards nine letters creates N_RxxLQ. Once a 9 is added, the character string is N9RxxLQ. Visiting https://i.imgur.com/N9RxxLQ.png reveals the second page. It depicts an eye with grey squiggly lines emanating off of it. The encoded text is “EYES UNBROKEN, WIND WAS HOWLING, CONTEMPLATING ITS HARD GAZE.”
