Your rant would have made a lot more sense if you'd mentioned that earlier, you know. I was wondering what you were talking about too.

You do not need to know or understand the language to solve the puzzle. You do need a decent ear for distinguishing sounds. He says a couple words that are very similar but aren't the same.

Those with any kind of hearing handicap may be unable to solve this puzzle, since it's audio only -- someone apparently decided that useful text subtitles would make it too easy.

I do not know the ins and outs of this, BUT there may be a perfectly good explanation.

Last years winner was a COMPUTER PROGRAMMER. Several of us on here have dabbled with pulling the flash apart, but what if he has managed to crack the encryption they are using on there website. He may be able to view the directory structure of the site, and I am betting that they put the next puzzle up before they open the current puzzle. If so, all he may be doing is reading the files from the real directory, not the virtual one we can see. IF, and I do stress IF, this is what he is doing, then it is no different to us pulling the flash apart.

However, IF he has inside knowledge, then he IS cheating and it would also cast doubt on his eligability for last years prize.

Conspiracy theories everywhere about poor Decipherguy.
The guy who posted the location 45 Minutes early.

Fact of the matter is a locked server can be port scanned but
I'm pretty darn sure the ports will be protected from answer
backs and common scan tactics.

Chances are good that poor Decipherguy got his answer from a
little known game forum which we are not familiar with, or he
simply figured out the answer from another countries portal by
simply spoofing his IP location and nothing more.

I can almost guarantee that no one has "Hacked the Planet" on
this one folks. Please, have a nice glass of rum and relax
folks.

I'm from Toronto, Canada and I'm playing the game through the
Canadian game portal.

Easy now folks, easy.
