 		Pandora/Polyphemus/Antaeus. Scored 100 with the cheat, and...well, not 100 without. In fact, not even close.

So far, there's not all that much to this Experience. Maybe we'll have something pop up like we did halfway through Find 815, when we were destegging dinosaurs.

What's with all of the !important tags in the source? Is that normal?

It's not uncommon, but it's not usually a good design pattern to follow. Normally, CSS attributes can be appended to and overridden (hence the cascading part of cascading style sheets.) When something is marked as !important, it cannot be overridden. (Well, technically, I guess it could be overridden by other !important declarations.)

I've only ever seen it used in user stylesheets (for example, you manually create one that says links are ALWAYS underlined and make it !important, then point Firefox to use it) and bad site design. Not that I'm implying one way or another about the site design of the game. It's just that's where I've primarily seen it used before.

 		Looks like they're using the Australian English for some reason:

yep, precisely, and I'd say not ingame (though I guess there's nothing stopping someone from using it as a form of sending a message ingame =P)
OT: yeah, it basically pushes a CSS attribute into a higher state of significance. It's like there's two levels; so !important makes it take priority over regular attributes, but it follows the same order of precedence among other !important tagged attributes (first->last declared, vague->specific object refs). I wouldn't call it bad design, but it's more useful with dynamically created css... it could arguably be considered ultimately unnecessary, but hey, there's lots of 'stuff' in web design that's like that Smile

a easter egg, i'd guess. Flight 815 left from Australia, and those people at ComicCon 08 had Australian accents.

Or it could be that Hoodlum is from Australia. Or both.

I didn't know about Hoodlum. It makes much more sense now. Smile

 		This stupid little test is addicting!

So far, without cheat, my highest score is 82....by then my finger is about numb on the trackpad though.....

Aaaaaaack! I need to stop and go play something equally useless like Linerider.......

 		I continue to be a no-cheatin' control subject. Best score so far: 59. Worst... 2. Just now, in fact. Update: I just got a score of ...1. \o/

Anyway:
Test 1: Pandora
Test 2: Polyphemus
Test 3: Antaeus

I'm going to try a couple more times and then put it down. I think. Evil evil addictive little test, this one.
