Tier 1F: The "vitellus" puzzle
Tier Overview
After solving T1E, the hunters noticed a pattern within the last 2 tiers, they were related to eggs (Oviform, the shape of an egg, and calcium carbonate, the chemical that makes up an eggshell). Theories were introduced that T1F would have something to do with another part of an egg, like the yolk or albumin. On July 3rd, Rob posted the image "THE_FINALS_CB2_Couple."
