Fivn is my favorite number.

Heh, I figure it might be important to keep track of the odd ones in case they become significant clues later.

I don’t know if they are, but the not quite numbers make me think of the old English numbers.

Just noticed, there should be an S in caterpillars to keep the cipher consistent. I’m a bad typist when I’m excited.

Thanks @VictorianFlorist ! I’ve added these to the wiki above.
Edit: So early analysis of these numbers is interesting.
This pattern 4456 repeats, first at the start of the sequence and then again at 17 which is the start of the 2nd half… That’s not stastically likely.
Also all the # sign answers are 3 so far. And we seem to be ending with 4 of the last 5 being 8.
