go team go!

Fuck. Be back in ten minutes. This is serious.

“we’re all connected” (within the page source)

we all have a genetic make-up. a science that builds us each similarly.. but we’re still different in small ways.

edit: http://www.twitter.com/theblacktide

just a base to get us started from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hematocrit
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_excess
PCO2- respiratory
HCO3- metabolic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_saturation

where the blue school biologists and chemists at?

lol *raises hand*

lol get on it then!

each clue leads to the next
the vitals and molecular build to the seahorse baby would be what this clue means then it would seem?

Chloride, sodium, magnesium, sulfur dioxide, calcium, potassium, , Bromide, ,Strontium, Fluoride.

Those are the listed elements in the order they’re listed, with the exception of two that I’ve marked by an empty space between two commas.

hematocrit “is the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells. It is normally about 48% for men and 38% for women. It is considered an integral part of a person’s complete blood count results, along with hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count, and platelet count.”

I.e. women have thinner blood then men

It is also important to note the term hematocrit comes from Greek origins and it means “to gauge or judge the blood”...

also…one of the groups of individuals at risk for a lowered hematocrit (i.e. anemia) are pregnant women, in whom the growing fetus creates a high demand for iron…

Are we supposed to find a missing component, maybe? I noticed that there’s an empty space between “component” and the list of elements.

Notice the coloring of the text and how it’s different for some of the information.

Hmm..

yeah I just noticed the two mentioned facts above too
possibly looking into the vitals of seahorse/my lady subject here?

Phosphorus…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus

Also, this may tell us the biological make-up of the seahorse - which we believe to be representative of a human man - but it doesn’t tell us the “make-up” or what it takes to BE a man in the biological or moral sense.

Shit got real. Anyone know of any connections between those elements, are they all elements or are some compounds? Perhaps they’re the elements used in the make up of a human? I’ll look into it when I get home, just on the iPhone now and cant really see the rest.

Best guess right now is the elements = make up of an organism + vitals but thats at first glance.

“Phosphorus is a key element in all known forms of life”....and as I learned in biochemistry…it is the backbone of DNA….note how without phosphorus - it’s not living-it’s"dead”.....this is probably the missing component

It’s the info for typical arterial blood gas levels:

If like I guessed the list is of componants for an organism, would the missing compound be H2O? Water is essential and the most plentiful part of our body.

QN5_Fan said:Chloride, sodium, magnesium, sulfur dioxide, calcium, potassium, , Bromide, ,Strontium, Fluoride.

Those are the listed elements in the order they’re listed, with the exception of two that I’ve marked by an empty space between two commas.

Chloride, sodium, magnesium, SULFATE, calcium, potassium, CARBON , Bromide, BORON ,Strontium, Fluoride

I’m not sure what the subscript T means on carbon and boron though.

according to webmd the arterial blood gas test: “is used to check how well your lungs are able to move oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the blood.”

abnormal results are usually due to on of the following reasons:
Diabetes.
Drug or alcohol overdose.
Kidney failure.
Lung diseases, such as chronic lung disease, a blood clot in the lungs, or pneumonia.
Severe dehydration from severe burns, vomiting, diarrhea, or taking water pills (diuretics).
Severe infection (sepsis).

“The hematocrit (Ht or HCT) or packed cell volume (PCV) are measures of the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells. It is normally 45 ± 7 (38-52%) for males and 42 ± 5 (37-47%) for females.”

Ok, so I think the second on the table are humans.

dope..

The clue came from a recently created twitter page called “The Black Tide” and features a picture of the CATM logo imposed over a seabed vent.

Edit- picture above lol.

pH 7.35-7.45 means the blood is alkaline.

Osiris said:pH 7.35-7.45 means the blood is alkaline.

for those of you who aren’t science nerds alkaline just means basic. Basic means not acidic.

I don’t know what the fuck is going on here, but I like it!

7.35-7.45 is also the pH level for human blood, so that more than likely rules out that we’re supposed to deduce some sort of species all this info aligns with. I think it’s clearly dealing with info about humans.

Seconded

ahhhh now the picture has a questionmark under component…so that definately means there is a missing one.

The new clue is phrased as an equation. It says that fetuseahorse results from (list of components) and (list of statistics about human blood) combined. I think we’re supposed to figure out what the components add up to make, or what species contain all of those compounds/elements.

Edit- picture above lol.

Seabed vents are believed to be where life on Earth began. We’re definately sticking with the life, birth etc. theme here.
