Correct. Additionally you need to have Macromedia Flash installed and you need to enable either ActiveX or JavaScript in your browser.

Yep, I agree. In the first post, instead of being sarcastic, I should have taken the opportunity to encourage the poster to review what's been posted to the forums already. Additionally, I should have requested that the poster make the post to the appropriate thread.

But, the second post was different. I was trying to point out some technical issues that hadn't been mentioned yet, which may not be obvious to the casual websurfer.

yeah man its all good, i hope it didn't sound like i was having a dig. i thought that a) u were very funny Smile and b) u didn't like severely burn anyone or anything which was cool cos a lot of people when they're frustrated can be real mean.

on a different note - i'm going to hit the sites for a bit 2day, but im worried that i might be wasting my time on certain elements of it as it seems like we've hit a wall from what people have been suggesting appears in the code. any ideas where my time would be most usefully spent?

I reckon it's a brick wall until 22/23rd (maybe midnight of the 22nd? how exciting!) so spend your time getting a burger or learning php or something... (personally, I prefer the burger)

Mmm.... burgers. Very Happy

I think in general you're right. We're in a bit of a waiting mode. While we might not get any major breakthroughs at the moment, there are a number of cryptic entries in the Pathway Travel guest registers (the flash books) that may yield some small clues.

If you want to do something to fill in some time, then try and do the soul assessment again until you get a perfect 100.

It may or may not be useful to us, but hey it's something to do right? Smile

You will only be able to do it 10 times before you need to refresh your cache and re log into the site, but try and get a score of 100 and tell us what happens after that Smile

as for the hiding room site I agree, I think we're stuck till later next week Sad

We're trying to follow Jon, right? Then maybe we don't have to think purely... we just have to think like Jon (after all he did get a 100 score on the assessment).

Since we have a list of all of the questions in the assessment, we should try and generate JON'S ANSWERS. Some of them are easy, such as, "Do you have design qualifications." Others have me stumped, such as, "Have you ever performed jury service?"

Anyone else think this might be something to pursue?

It certainly wouldn't hurt, and we have plenty of time before an expected update anyway.

Daniel 5

He guys,

Well, some people already posted the fact that Daniel 5 refers to the writing on the wall. But this maybe being a clue, it might be more interesting what was written on the wall:

'Mene , Mene , Tekel , Parsin'. I can find the following 'translation' on I-net:

Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end.
Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians."

Will this help anyody?

Catweazl,

You thinking that this might have something to do with the assessment test scores?

Slithy,

Well, I guess it has something to do with it. The thing which I do not get is the fact that Jon did score 100 on his soul, so the line "You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting. " does not apply to him.

Moreover, it is written in Daniel 5 that the same night these letters appear on the wall, king Belshazzar is killed by Darius, somebody from the Medes clan.

The thing is that as far as I know the Pathway web-site was on air before the hidden room web-site. So on the other hand Daniel 5 could be a clue to the writing on the wall above the writing desk in the hiding room web-site.

However, as far as I know nowbody of the gamers trying to solve this have scored a 100 on the soul test yet. So, we could be considered 'found not wanting', but as far as I can see this makes little sence.

In other words, I will continue to use my gray matter to solve this!

slithy/catweasel,

i am not entirely sure that we need to get 100 in the soul assesment as jon did not get in contact with the MIB throught the sable and shuck web site>

This was some thing he found during his research having met the MIB on the park on the way home form the pub, Having ticked a box on the goldenfuturesandoptions web site, which now just loops around to the S+s web site.

Bladex2x,

Thanks for the message. And although your story is (partly) true, Jon did do an assessment, since there is a score in his profile, right?

Anyway did anyone look into the thing I posted last week? This was about the fact that the table that is mentioned under 'services' of the Inferno Cargo web-site might just be some kind of (Hilbert Matrix), which could ultimately result into a password?

Good luck everybody

In response to Catweazl...

The table is:
Money Currency Options 1 3 9
The first number is tripled, then tripled again

Love, lust and debauchery Services Options 3 9 27
Again, number is tripled and tripled again

Cars Automotive Options 6 18 54
Tripled and tripled again

Flight and Travel Aeronautic Options 6 18 54
Tripled and tripled again

The finest food and beverages known to mankind FMCG Options 6 6 6
Number of the beast

Mind Reading, Necromancy and Telekinesis Supernatural Options 4 13 39
Tripled and +1, then tripled again

Clothes Textile Options 1 3 9
Tripled and tripled again

I can't see any real pattern to the start numbers of 1, 3, 6, 6, 6, 4, 1 aside from a recurrence of 666 in the middle and 1366 at the start. Nor can I see any particular reason for the slight shift from the tripling pattern on the Supernatural Options aside from that 13 is a Fibonacci number (4 and 39 are not), unless that's a clue of some sort that's going straight over my head.

That's all I can see from the numbers. They can't possibly be a Hilbert matrix as this type of matrix is a square.

Anyone else see something I'm missing?
