7-year timespans
There's a whole lot of talk about "seven years" that I'm not sure has been thoroughly thought through. I posted the bulk of this in MargaretEfendi and DanaAwbrey character pages back on the 28th of July, but I thought it was worth trying to spur some new activity since I haven't seen any discussion of it anywhere on the Wiki or in the forums. Consider the following:-
Margaret has been beekeeping for 7 years. (ref: ilovebees.com "main" page)
-
Dana has provided "7 years of indentured tech support" to Margaret.
-
In the killer.jpg "KillerJpgKiller" variant, the entity embedding text in the image says "had been changed going back a while though, more than 7 years ago now"
-
And, referencing the Halo-universe AI we know the most about, the Halo Story Page entry for Cortana says that so-called "smart" AIs have "an unextendable life-span of approximately 7 years, at which time they become too smart, suffering from exponential attenuation of function; they think so much they forget to breathe."
-
In the PhaseMonologue from TheOperator, she says "They say killing a spider brings seven years of bad luck. We'll see."
Please post more references to 7-year timespans to this page and take any ideas/theories/other speculations to the discussion page. --UserExtrasonic 21:25, 5 Aug 2004 (PDT)
Other '7' references
In addition to the references to 7-year timespans, there are also a number of other 7s which may be needed to solve this puzzle (if it is a puzzle):-
Margaret's e-mail is ladybee777.
-
There are 7 recipes on the ilovebees.com "Fun Stuff" page (if you don't count the hidden 3rd recipe).
-

In the New PhaseComputerCode, when Flea masquerades as SPDR it chooses Version Number SPDR-5.14.77. The Queen then recognizes Flea as a newer version than the original SPDR.
-
In the New PhaseComputerCode, Flea's Invntry (inventory?) number is 117649, which can be expressed as 7^6 or 7*7*7*7*7*7 (noted by Aniki on that page)
-
Which, naturally, can also be expressed as 343 * 343 (but don't go there. Yes, 343 Guilty Spark is an AI. No, he's not the Flea. He's MUCH bigger.) --UserJellyfishGreen 03:14, 16 Aug 2004 (PDT)

This is on the Bungie Marathon site.

Hats Off To Chad Poland (3 o M7) for finding this out on the 21th Nov 1996... but we had to keep it a secret until today Feb 7th.
