So the XXX/780 was actually an incredibly simple "cipher" to figure out. Basically the 30 Letters Provided for each listen are generated. Those letters often repeat (but that doesnt matter). You simply take each letter provided in that 30 and count it once. so lets just say you have abcde abcde abcde abcde abcde abcde. All you would do is make a list of ABCDE and translate that to numbers 1-26. meaning you get 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15. That would mean you get 15/780. The total 780 is actually 26 (letters of the alphabet) x 30. Its impossible to have a total of 780 ever, and the obvious maximum you could get was if you were to get all 26 letters in that list is 351. From this point on though i have no idea whats really important about those numbers though.

My Possible Hypothesis is maybe you need to take the 30 digit actual total and get its difference for the given total of "non Repeat". in this case if we take my prior example you get 15/780, but the actual is 90/780 that difference is 75. but even then idk how that is useful. If anyone can brain storm this further, possibly connect dots i never figured out that would be awesome. i did figure out the "Look inside" bit but that was about it. no idea what else to do here for now

it could even be possible we need to take that remainder and somehow divide it up into another string of letters that equal the same total, or Convert that into letters just based on all the single digit letters (ex. A-I, 253 = BEC) but honestly im lost.... there must be something else hidden that isnt obvious. I dont know there are 2 voices talking the entire time but no idea what the background is saying.

The background is just repeating or echoing what the speaker is saying. It is a "normal" voice, but the loud voice we hear is digitized.

I came to a similar conclusion on my own

However, simply put, I believe the 780 to be a red herring and only exists to get participants thinking.

There is a combination of 30 randomly generated numbers taken from the 26 English characters. 30x26=780.

What if we managed to create a basic cipher using the algorithms the game runs off? It appears as though each letter might have a designated value between 1 and 26. It would then be possible to reach 780 if the sequence was completely occupied by the character that represents 26, but that wouldn't be the purpose of course. This new cipher could be used to decrypt other messages within the puzzle.

Alternatively, it might also be the case that the value of each letter goes up dependant on it's relation to its placement within the sequence. For example, if in the correct position, 'A' might have a value of 26 in the first position but only a 18 in the second position. If that were the case then the goal of 780 would be achieved by correctly completing the sequence and possibly creating a phrase or word.

I'm pretty freakin' tired and I hope this is legible. "Food for thought" anyway.
