You guys might not like this: I looked at the Flash... Unless I'm reading this wrong, it's TIME BASED.

It creates a completely random "checksum" and posts it to an "antihack" URL, but the "checksum" is generated completely randomly, without any mathematics involved.

Furthermore, the routine to calculate how far along it is is using the current time divided by a 24 hour day.

That does explain how we got over 4,000 hits without anyone knowing about it... Rolling Eyes

Again, if I'm reading this correctly, there's nothing we can do to accelerate the process until noon tomorrow.
And here I am bashing away at the code like it's gonna give me 30 extra lives on Contra. Thanks for saving my keyboard! Wink

 		I admit I could be incorrect, so it can't hurt to try.

But, for the record, the Flash has no code path for when it reaches 100% (it's actually theoretically possible for the Flash to display MORE than 100% complete). So, when that happens, they'll have to replace the Flash file or the web page entirely with whatever new content we unlocked.

I'm willing to trust your initial cursory analysis of the code. (If it was in BASIC or 6809 Assembly I'd figure it out myself... God I'm old! Crying or Very sad ) A couple hours sitting back and checking it out again for its current level of progress should reveal the truth.

I input the code about 5 times it is past 5k now by a noticeable bit for what it is worth.

 		A little off topic and not sure which trailer it is, but there's a 35mm Legacy trailer up on ebay that's currently at .99 cents.

I know we have some folks that do weird things with them.

 		lol that would be perfect in front of my local cast's shadow run of Rocky Horror. Right now all we have is Zombieland.

 		How much you wanna bet it's a trailer already broadcast? I'm seeing a number of them on TV now that I haven't seen otherwise.

Either way, it's worth a shot! We're almost to the 10,000 point! Keep it up guys!

For a sec it scrolled down and I saw the trailer

EDIT:
I managed to take a screenshot, though there's really not much to gain from it.

Yeah, but you can't play it until it gets to 10,00 inputs. It's just about there, so let's keep it going, shall we? Thanks for your help, guys!

 		As expected, it's at 98%. Should be unlocked within an hour or two.

Unlocked
And it appears to basically be the 3rd trailer with a small section showing Sam hacking thru a door with his Nokia. Where it's inserted, it looks like it might be inside Flynn's Arcade, but it could be him hacking into Encom, as it's reminiscent of Flynn's "I make these myself" device used on the "now that is a big door."

It's already unlocked. Sadly, it's almost the same darn thing as the latest trailer aside from a new quick shot. What a rip-off...
