=T
The Fourth Glyph

• (6/9/01) while ACG=137=A was a good shot, it appears that the correct answer was "T". I'm not really sure who solved this glyph. Being there are 2 ways to arrive at "T" using ACG. Threonine is the name for "ACG" however T is the missing acid that completes ACG. Either way the glyph is solved.

• (6/9/01) Both mnemesis and Forrest have found that ACG are part of a mathematical constant represented by "A" for Alpha. A=1, C=3, G=7, and thus ACG = 137 (don't think like each number is being multiplied by each other, but that each number replaces a letter and vice versa) and 137 = Alpha which = A. Based on the other 2 glyphs, this seems Really good, if only our mystery gal would clear this up for us.

• (6/9/01) Andrew writes "biochemists like to abbreviate things, and amino acids are no execption. According to IUPAC recommendations (http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iupac/AminoAcid/AA1n2.html#AA1) it [threonine] is, indeed, a T" so a second time ACG reduces to "T".

• (6/6/01) Nicolas writes "ACG = Threonine, the resultant amino acid from the nucleotides A-C-G. I still believe that is true. Although it could be coincidence, it's possible that the resultant pun "three of nine," could indicate that part of the puzzle would be either get" three in a row" in a square of nine, or "three of a kind," which relate nicely to Chelsea's mention of Tic-Tac-Toe This system could be used to single out numbers from each glyph perhaps. " You gotta be smart to be a Bungie fan, non-Genetecists need not apply.

• (5/30/01) The sum of this glyph's numbers add up to 276.

• (5/30/01) ACG is 3 of the 4 amino acids which make up DNA, "T" being the acid not present.

• (5/30/01) Bradley Attfield writes that "The letters AC and G in the fourth glyph are the 1st, 3rd and 7th letters of the english alphabet, respectively." These are powerful numbers indeed.
