Roses are white but often red (SOLVED) #20

TO START OFF: It said to go back to the first puzzle.

RELATING TO THE PUZZLE and the keywords on phase 3.2 about the matrix:

last words before archichoice (architect character in the matrix)

matrix sum list or matrixsumlist

This relates to the matrix and how red and blue pills is a choice to get out of it. Now how does red and blue relate to the roses are white phrase?

When it stated Roses are White but often Red. Yellow has a number and so does Blue.

We replaced the white squares with red squares (or u can just imagine that white is red and so on and then calculate the binary) previously, but in the matrix you have red and blue pill what does this mean?

What if we give only red squares (white squares) and blue squares as the number 1 then yellow squares and black squares black as the number 0 for the binary translation.

Remember from the previous puzzle and how we were messing with the roses are white thing and using spiral, etc but this time red(white) and blue = 1.

When somebody did the puzzle originally with Yellow (0), Blue (1), White (0), Black (1) it led to the sequence as follows when doing spiral values, binary, etc:

0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 1

Which converted to ASCII led to this URL which solved that phase:

01100111 (103 g) 01110011 (115 s) 01101101 (109 m) 01100111 (103 g) 00101110 (46 .) 01101001 (105 i) 01101111 (111 o) 00101111 (47 /) 01110100 (116 t) 01101000 (104 h) 01100101 (101 e) 01110011 (115 s) 01100101 (101 e) 01100101 (101 e) 01100100 (100 d) 01101001 (105 i) 01110011 (115 s) 01110000 (112 p) 01101100 (108 l) 01100001 (97 a) 01101110 (110 n) 01110100 (116 t) 01100101 (101 e) 01100100 (100 d)

And that led to: gsmg.io/theseedisplanted

But when we do red=1 and blue=1 we get:

1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0

IN ASCII which is:

01100111 (103 g) 01110011 (115 s) 01101101 (109 m) 01100111 (103 g) 00101110 (46 .) 01101001 (105 i) 01101111 (111 o) 00101111 (47 /) 01110100 (116 t) 01101000 (104 h) 01100101 (101 e) 01110011 (115 s) 01100101 (101 e) 01100101 (101 e) 01100100 (100 d) 01101001 (105 i) 01110011 (115 s) 01110000 (112 p) 01101100 (108 l) 01100001 (97 a) 01101110 (110 n) 01110100 (116 t) 01100101 (101 e) 01100100 (100 d)

And in the ASCII code we can see the URL: gsmg.io/theseedisplanted which was the exact same as before with the different binary values.

So in conclusion this solved the riddle about the roses being often red rather than white.

Now what does gsmg.io/theseedisplanted have to do with anything? I thought there was only one solution possible for this puzzle. But apparently not because something stated this:

"It might have shown you only one door, beware that the rabbits nest may contain a whole lot more."

So we have to find more openings in the gsmg.io/theseedisplanted
