Well either they are watching the boards, (as they should be) or they caught their mistake. The "new" clues from here first posting has returned to normal.

Seriously, does anyone have any ideas about these spelling (and now grammar "Okay, he here in Bali") issues in Helen's emails? Do we see a pattern?

With the number of bugs I have personaly found , I would say these are just errors. I don't think we should completly discard them. Take note and move on.

That would be very disappointing. The only two things that make me hope there's something more to it are:
1. They are massive errors for anyone, especially for someone who went to a nice school.
2. The errors are kind of consistent -- frequently, the m in I'm is missing, for instance.
Honestly, I hope this is a pattern we're supposed to watch for. Otherwise, the person who is typing these emails might need to hand over the job.

Did anyone else just get a personally addressed email from Helen just now?
Update: Never mind, we all got it, also the clue sheet on the site has been updated with the correct answers to the single digit clues. Does anyone else think this is to fix any confusion that might have been caused by the slip up with the first day post clue switch from yesterday?

I got the email -- at first I was afraid to click the link for fear it was some kind of virus or something. It was so strange to get a personal email when that's not happened before in this game. But I bit the bullet and clicked anyway.
Yeah, that's probably right about clearing up any confusion. Makes sense to me.
Well. I suppose now we can assume those are the correct answers?

I don't know. They've changed one of the answers listed since the e-mail went out (Leyton's favorite play). There could be other mistakes that she'll correct later.

I tried entering a code at the bank site and got an error. I don't know if it was accepted or not. If so, I would have less than 10 attempts left but I'm not sure.
I also wonder if you get some sort of confirmation if you enter the correct code or if you just have to wait until the game is over to see if you got it right. Of course if the error's not fixed, you won't get any feedback at all.

I submitted an answer a while ago and got a popup saying "You have 9 guesses left". It then redirected me to a page saying you will be notified shortly, haven't received any word just yet however.

Treasure Chests Just an idea - but do you think the treasure chest clues tell us the order for the number pairs or will we use them for something out??
Are we supposed to click on the bank business card to link and then enter info (in which case what is user name, password, i assume the passcode is our string of 10 digits.
Just looking for others ideas.

yeah thats the bank card links to the page where you enter the info. the user name and password are the same as you use to log into the rest of the game. the passcode is the 10 digits.

Just to update an earlier post, I was able to go to the bank site and enter a code and it told me I have 6 entries left. Apparently it accepted the ones I entered earlier, and I guess it lets you put in the same code more than once since that's what I was doing to try and get it to work.
I did, however, at one point get an error saying "Unable to connect to database", so I doubt that anythig was accepted during that time. Seems a little fishy that they would give away an amount of money for a game that is so buggy.

The final treasure chest has no words on it. Either it's bugged or it's intentionally blank. I was counting on this clue to help me assemble the code though .
