Another hint was dropped in a Tweet, which I cannot locate. It was an image of a clock, and I thought it was pointing at the fourth hour. Hour four on the clock is incorrect: IIII instead of IV Entering IIII in the door opens it Door leads to Fartown -- link Spiders and Ants The solid door puzzle leads to two different pages about Spiders and Ants. There has been much discussion about what Spiders and Ants are, but no solid conclusions yet.
