Summery of the 04/27 challenge thus far...

To sum things up, we now know that the audio files, each has a number hidden in it, and a morse code in the end. I used a wonderful summery made by Anm, and modifed it so it'll be easy to understand, and to also make everything clear for all those who are just joining in on the challenge.
I changed the order a bit, based on the homonyms we found in each sentence. I also painted the homonyms red, so you can see where/how we got them.

My feeling is we're still missing something. I don't think those two images are the "rewards" for this challenge. We still haven't found the connect to the clock, and I think that if we try inserting various combinations of the words above, we might get a few more pictures in return.

Another theory is that the clock has something to do with the ranks of each colony. I doubt this is feasible though, since time is too momentary for it to take such a big part in a challenge, and since this a world-wide challenge, and time is different in each country, is not possible to base a challenge on it.

I'm puzzled by the fact the team page does not say "Congratulations, your team has already solved this challenge", but rather your team has "answered correctly", meaning we still have a few steps to go through. However, we're not getting a new text box, and there doesn't appear to be anything else we can do on the site, to "solve" the challenge, even if we wanted.

I'd like this thread to be clean, so please don't post any comments about the quality of the pictures, or questions about what the answer was to the first stage of the challenge. Use the Search, and the other threads, for that. This thread is solely for summering purposes, and brain storming of possible direction this challenge will go.

Thanks.

That's a possibility, but then it would have said "HUMAN" "CLOCK", and not "OUR" "COLONY". Also, there's a reason why it says "FIRST"... We just need to find it. Smile

Code:
<div id="top">
   <h1 id="TeamName">ARGolonists</h1>
   <div id="countdown"></div>
</div>
<ul id="nav">
   <li class="first">


Doubt it means anything, but it does coincide with "first"

per the order "check clock ourcolony first" what was the clock at initaly, so better phrased when did ourcolony come online? mabye it has to do something with the cloacks original numbers. (iono wild spec)

That's a good idea, but I doubt it would be something we don't have access to anymore. It must be something that is there all the time, until the challenge is solved, or else he wont be able to make it a world-wide challenge.

As you can see in my signature, I'm from team yay, and there was nothing special in our team page. Besides, I doubt they'll make a challenge that only one colony can solve, or that a challenge's progress will be dependant on one colony's willingness to "share" knowledge.

while those pictures are interesting, they are neither posted on ourcolony nor named in an ourcolony fashion.

Are you trying to do all OOGs that come to mind, or just be annoying?
