Imitation is the most blatant form of plagiarism [/Ryandrew]

Personally I think imitation is the most blatant form of plagiarism whatever you guys think.

[JayJay]

Maybe nothings happening on this one because they haven't had 100 correct answers yet! Could be unlikely but hey we could also try emailling them to see if this is the case.

Plagiarism is imitation rephrased most blatantly.

And repetition is the sincerest form of redundancy.

Emailed them only a auto reply so far.
But I fear the time has passed ah (Thinks deeply for a moment) maybe I will mail the Acadamy.

I'm just wondering if maybe something may appear soon?

*jojojojo crosses fingers.

EDIT: Yes, I did have more to say than this but it was inded troutable.

I'm kind of new to the game so please excuse me if I say something stupid or trout worthy. So, has anyone received any kind of response or even heard about anyone getting a response to the application? I've tried all kinds of random answers but never heard from Cognivia. I recently tried e-mailing all the addresses I could find on the site, but I don't expect much from that. Do we even have any idea if the puzzle is still active or not? And on that note, is anyone even following this puzzle anymore?

I'm really interested in this puzzle, both because as a late starter it's one of the few puzzles with which I think I might actually have a chance to contribute to the solve... And because the idea of free stuff appeals to me. Starting over from the beginning I hit a new train of thought as to the solution. It makes sense to me, but it's kind of hard to imagine that nobody would have though of it by now. I'll wait a few days in the off chance I actually get a response, but I was kind of wondering if it's even worth following through, if the puzzle is still active or if at this point it's a red herring. Please let me know if anyone else is still following this and I'll toss in my ideas, as pitiful as they probably are.

Cheers,

Talon

I really don't know about this puzzle now, for all we know the 100 people that got the right answer could have been non-PPC players and maybe not use the forums, so we wouldn't even know they had been solved.

Or we may not have hit the correct answer.

Or it could have been abandoned as it is no longer relevent (maybe we were meant to get details to use to get into the trials site and find HG = Helena Gale = Miranda).

[TIAG]The trouble is noone actually knows, it may be worth emailing mind candy directly to ask them.[TIAG]

This is just [spec], (and I do so hate doing it) but I think that the competition might have been dropped after the Human Testing issues in the UK that happened around the time this was set. Due to the sensitive climate, I think they may have dropped it. [/spec]
ooh, I feel so filthy.

I decided to e-mail one of the perplexcity.com addies and received a reply (Thanks anonymous perplexcity.com person!). I asked if the application was active and this was the answer I got:

Hippokampos is Greek for Seahorse from which we get the word Hippocampus, Aranzi first used the name hippocampus for that part of the brain, Bekhterev first noted the use of the hippocampus in memory, HM... well, it's easier to just read the wikipedia entry for that, Seahorse as noted above - the genus of Seahorses and because the route of the maze seems to resemble a seahorse, Syngnathidae is the family to which seahorses belong, Poseidon used a Hippocampus (actual half horse half fish/dolphin) to pull his chariot and Neptune is the Roman name for Poseidon. Hope all that is correct.
