Well, considering I have not received a confirmation email that my team has accecpted me ( Crying or Very sad

) nor an email about a second door, I need as much help as possible if I wish to participate.

thats fine lisa...though as we both recieve the EXACT same riddle, i don't think it really matters how much of it we share. Its more who can understand the riddle first, and the fun is simply well figuring out what the riddle means.

Phomaster - ya didn't think it meant much, just thought i'd point it out in case.

robots lost in a sea of dreams...is anyone else reminded of I Robot?

It kind of does, but I didn't think they where coming out with another I Robot movie.

I don't think they where either...just thought maybe it could lead someone to some kind of answer.

what do you guys think, do the codes for the door have to be numbers? or could they be anything?

Noticed this in the "Alternate text" field: "The image "http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/944/cluejm2.png" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." Not really much of point having that pop up as alternate text is there? Maybe some type of clue...

there has to be something in the image we're missing. Don't you think?

i definitely think we are missing something with the image...especially since the first clue we got just as text in an email, i mean why an image now?
I don't know much about how hiding stuff in images works, nor much about ciphers. i'll do some research, meanwhile, if someone here knows what to actually look for, please be my guest and see if you can find something we are missing.

I have been going over the poem looking for anything that might prove useful and discovered a number of things...first of all the number of characters (not counting spaces) in each line are as follows:

42
36
31
27

Also, note that in descending order there are:

36 + 6 = 42
31 + 5 = 36
27 + 4 = 31

Might be nothing but it is interesting that you would add 4, 5, 6 to the line number to reach the same total as the one above.

The word count for each line is as follows:

9
9
7
7

The line "never to be seen" lead me down the dry hole of nano-tech research....wasted time....

Sent all this info to the Kuya team and apparently none of it was worth anything. Started counting unique letters in each line and thought better of it after 2 lines....I am starting to think we might be overlooking the obvious. Look how simple the first 'riddle' was...and how simple the websites for both teams are, it's possible that this game is being run by someone new to being a PM...thats the only thing I can come up with unless the GLARING spelling errors actually mean something. just my .02.

I know none of the info above helps....just hoping putting it out there will jar the noggin of someone far smarter than myself.
