Back to previous question

A: The first page is the hardest to read, so we saved a copy of it.
Back to previous question
Back to the map
A: The animation comes in three parts. The first part has three columns and contains a lot of useful stuff; it scrolls by quickly. The second part has a green code that also scrolls by quickly. The third part pretty much holds still, so you can look at that yourself.
Back to previous question
Back to the map
A: Especially check out the green code.
Back to previous question
Back to the map
A: Do you see any elements that are repeated?
