I think it is a coincidence. I'm sure Sega got the 7 emeralds thing from Dragonball z. Just like the super transformation.

I have been trying to think on what other stuff could it be, but right now nothing comes to my mind. Since the other codes are dates, it's possible this one is also a date... Heck, it could be two dates for all we know.

PS: 4 + 1 + 2 + 6 = 13, and you know what connotations that has =P

You know what I always thought it was?

4 - 1- 2 + 6 = 7

I don't know why I thought that particular mathematical set would've been significant.

With all due respect, a few of you are missing the point entirely. This isn't a discussion about why the number 7 was used. It's about why "4,1,2,6" was chosen for the cheat that gives you the 7 emeralds. Again, 41:26 in the book of Genesis suggests a pretty strong correlation. It could be a coincidence, I don't deny that. But discussing why the number seven was chosen has nothing to do with "4,1,2,6". Nothing. It's about why that sequence of numbers was picked. All the other cheats in that game reference something (all being dates), so it's quite natural to wonder what "4,1,2,6" could refer to. Whoever put the cheats in the game clearly wanted each cheat to have a hidden meaning. I believe this one could be a biblical reference.

Now, let's have a discussion about "4,1,2,6" and the possible bible link to those four numbers, not about why there are 7 emeralds (because, once again, that completely misses the point of this topic).

Quad was the 70's, Mono was first, Stereo is now, 5.1 is the future? =P Audio joke. Love to see what these numbers really mean. I haven't read the bible but the Christian references don't sound too off giving the context of the whole thing.

It just hit me: 4 1 2 6 → 1941/2/6

Any idea what could match either February 6th 1941 or June 2nd 1941?

I really love how half this thread is shitting on this just because it has a Christian basis. Please don't argue out of it, its fucking obvious. The mindset in here ought to be "Oh cool. We should look into this." Instead you're quick to rain on the fucking parade for no reason. We've documented theories and coincidences in the past. Why not now? I'm willing to hold this up as a possibility, but counter-theories are always acceptable.

I'm just trying to keep this from getting swept under the rug because OH GOD CHRISTIAN OVERTONES CAN'T HAVE THAT ON OUR MAGICAL NIHILISTIC RETRO FORUMS. I'd love to contact the American dev team to see if we can get an explanation for the code. But people shitting on this will only serve to hinder research on this. How about we keep an open mind on this and find other connections?

Geez, persecution complex much?

Literally no one in this thread has shat on anything because it's Christian. I'm a flaming atheist myself, and I think it would cool if it was a bible reference, because of the connection to "Genesis".

Saxman's brought up a beautiful theory, and I really don't want to see it killed by an ugly fact - but since there's no hard evidence yet, the possibility remains open. And since wanting something to be true doesn't make it true, keeping an open mind is precisely what I and a few others were advocating.

Don't be so quick to perceive shit where there is none.

There's this thing called "Google". It's pretty good at finding answers to questions like this!
Check this link about WWII.

Quote

Day 525 February 6, 1941 Operation Compass. Libya. A column of Italian 20,000 troops, 160 tanks and 200 field guns is strung out along 7 miles of the coast road. They are contained by Combe Force's roadblock at Sidi Saleh and 4th Armoured Brigade at Beda Fomm, despite a series of uncoordinated attacks all day. Australian 6th Division captures Benghazi while 7th Support Group (another part of 7th Armoured Division) captures Sceleidima inland; both groups now close the trap on the Italians from the North.

Alot of sevens in there. Good grief, they're everywhere! Here! Someone else try out this Google thing for the other date! Don't be shy! It's easy and it works!

[Sik]

Except the other dates used as codes were related to the game somehow (1992/11/24 → Sonic 2 release date, 1965/09/17 → Yuji Naka's birthday), so I assume 1941/02/06 would follow the same pattern, and Google isn't that good at finding stuff like that.

Does anyone know what 4126 means in asm? Is it a meaningful instruction like 4E75?

Nonsense, then.

Since it is the Super Sonic code, I thought it might have something to do Chuck Yeager, or the first supersonic aircraft or something. I didn't find any leads or connections there, though.

This is a likely story and a cool find but I wouldn't take it as gospel without more evidence.

I find the Law of Fives 41:26 to be more and more manifest the harder I look. - Lord Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst

Calendar Theory:
The year 4126 in the hebrew calendar straddles both 365 and 366 AD, which is the same as the number of days in the calender year and leap year, and each year is comprised of 7 day weeks which is the same as the number of chaos emeralds.

We're getting into some serious Bible Code territory now. Shit's getting real.
