Well I submitted my challenge yesterday but the WITG site isn't working for me so I can't check yet if the guardian is open. *sigh* Lame.

Shy, they've figured out ways that you can join and skip ahead to where we're at now. The sites were down for a bit for me too, but then they worked. We'd be more than happy to have you. Ask any questions and we'll answer.

Well I know a lot of people are on a guardian which is apparently a difficult program for them. So it might be causing problems for the site.

Welcome shylilembrace. I just tried to get on to the main site too, and it is down. This happened once before in the past and they were fixing something, so I assume they are maintaining something.
Stick with it - it will be fun to have a new player on board; like Faery said, there are a whole bunch of shortcuts to get where we are.

In a Novel approach, how many monitors were behind Mister Willson? 3
How old is Catherine whier? 31
How many green apples on the counter in the video Novel Approach? 4 I think (they look red to me).
I GUESS I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE 4 APPLES. I GUESSED THAT AND NOW HAVE TO WAIT 24 HOURS. SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE GREEN APPLES ARE.

The apples one is a trick question - it also had a bug. I PM'd SOTM with the answer and they helped get me past. If the question loops you have it right just not in the correct format .
I made it to question 4 and then didn't type fast enough...aarrrgghhh.
And yes that anagram in the video is crazy hard like some of the ones at the start of the game - you lucky folks joining us wont have to go through those though .
Back to waiting for my next chance.

So, is it safe to say that there are:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"0" green apples?
Edited:
Don't listen to me; evidently I ran into the same glitch and had to e-mail too. Will see what happens now.
Also, IT LOOKS LIKE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO JOIN CAN START AT STAGE 4 AND NOT HAVE TO MAKE UP STUFF AS THERE HAS BEEN A NEW ANNOUNCMENT IN THE FORUM.

There are 'zero' green apples. That '0' will just get you stuck in a loop until you are 'Out of time'
And I didn't realize, but I checked MW's last blog and noticed.

Date Question OK, the next answer after the apples is going to be a date. I know the date, but don't want to waste another 24 hours, so what do you all think the best way to try and enter a date would be (so we don't get kicked out)?
Example (not real date):
08-08-08
8-8-08
08-08-2008
8-8-2008
08/08/08
8/8/08
8/8/2008
08/08/2008
August 8, 2008

Well, I know the answer is in 8/8/08 format cause I got it right when I did it that way.

I did know that; it is clear that I am not going to make it to Stage Four in 7 days as there are 15 questions, and it is taking me 1 day to do 1 question. I just don't know the answers by memory and it takes me too long to look it up. In addition to that the audio makes me panic and then I waste time. Next time I am going to try without the audio and then I won't panic and maybe I can get 2 answers instead of 1.

Well thankfully it looks like they have given us until Memorial Day to defeat the guardian. Palm, is your team not helping you out? I know we have a lot of inactive members but I figured you still had a couple working.

Haven't heard too much from the team. I hope they are on vacation and will be back soon.
