This is probably reading too much into it, but all the capital letters in the comments on Churmike's link are

Try placing that between www and com. You get an... interesting site with a big hole in it.

I...wow. I've seen the top-rightmost picture before, but I don't know any of the faces.

Hmm, I wonder if it's relevant that

Spoiler

the pictures are arranged in a shape related to a certain precious metal?

Spoiler

The smaller sizes resemble the Golden Ratio.

 

[VampiresDontSparkle]

The faces! What do they mean? -spontaneously combusts-

And here I was, feeling proud for making it this far...

Edit: Anyone else think they make a 'shell-like' pattern? (i.e. Fibonacci?)

 

[Susan Arendt]

hmmm... well, I can't argue with that. We're kind of at a dead end anyway, Mud, so don't worry about it.

I want you guys to have fun, I just don't want to see very obvious clues

The pictures are in a spiral shape based on the Fibonacci sequence: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13. Next numbers are 21, 34, 55, though I'm not sure whether that's relevant.

I do recognize one, the bottom right one is

Spoiler

I just ran the biggest picture in the hole through a tineye search. That's fibbonacci. I'd say it's VERY relevant.

Well

Spoiler

When I searched the image using tineye I only got results for Fiboracci so that might say something

 

[darkenergy134]

Spoiler

Hmmm... I wonder what this Fibonacci Sequence looks like...

 

[akkuron]

Spoiler: about that picture in the hole

Dude in the big picture on the left is Fibonacci, you know, with the number sequence? Also the pictures are arranged in a tiling with squares whose sides are successive Fibonacci numbers in length, you can find the arrangement on his wikipedia page.

edit: beaten to it

Are we closeish at least.

Spoiler

the are all geniuses. Not sure who the first guy is, but i bet he's a genius, like newton. Edit - it's Fibonacci

Spoiler

It is the golden ratio or phi

 

[idiot445]

Does anyone know who is in the golden framed picture? I think I can name all the others though I'm not really sure how that'd help either way.

Nevermind got it. Thanks.

Spoiler

All of the images are of mathematicians. The pictures are arranged in rectangles that have the golden ratio, related to the fibonacci numbers.

Now who's the smallest one?

Known pictures:

Smallest: ?
Next: Good Will Hunting (math)
Next: A Beautiful Mind (math)
Next: Jurassic Park (science)
Next: Fibonacci (math)

I'm not sure if this is relevant too, but

Spoiler

The Fibonacci sequence is also called the Golden Ratio. One of the pictures is of Jeff Goldblum. Then there's the Gold frame too.

I'd say we're on the right track definitely.

Edit: Also the

Jurassic Park

thing.

The smallest seems to be the main character from the movie Pi. Also, Jeff Goldblum played a mathematician in Jurassic Park.

yup all mathematician's

The two empty frames bother me. who are some other [spoiler.] movie mathematicians?[/spoiler]
