it looks like a viral promotion for the October release of the movie on home video, according to this blogger--

Re: 10 11 12
Seems strange to promote a home video though since ppl would have seen the movie already...but what is Zarathustra?
EDIT: Thus Spoke Zarathustra (the title of the video) a german book that was written by a philosopher in the 1880s and deals with lots of spiritual themes

iandaking the relative part of the book I'd guess would be about the Übermensch(Supermen), I think that is what Weyland was looking for in the engineers. Zarathustra is often shown as a guy flying in a winged chariot(spaceship).
p.s. is it odd that there happen to be enough hexagons on that site to cover the months from now to the home release?

Great thought

Sadly I managed to completely miss the ARG (or the viral, or whatever it was) but I've seen (and loved) the movie and had a bit of a look at the http://www.whatis101112.com/ site.
Some thoughts, apologies if they are irrelevant:
- I've read Thus Spake Zarathustra from cover to cover some number of years ago, and didn't understand a damn word of it. I guess I should have done this in conjunction with a university paper in philosophy or something.
- I do note that the Richard Strauss piece of music by the same name happens to be the soundtrack to the Dawn of Man sequence, possibly the most profound moment of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
- Having not seen the TED talk before the movie, I thought it was a terrible waste to have such a strong actor as Guy Pearce appear only halfway through the movie, and even then, heavily covered in prosthetics. Though, I guess it could have just been a neat payoff for those having already followed the campaign. To me his brief appearance seemed to suggest a loose end or a story left untold.
- The 5 hexagons with only one "active" do seem to suggest the others will activate in the future.
- We've seen the meta tags on this page that say "The next phase of Project Prometheus is coming..." right?
I can't help but think we should expect more - even if it is just an eventual sequel (or sequels). I would be surprised if the "next phase" is purely the ability to watch the same movie (albeit with an extra 30 mins or so), but in the comfort of my own home as some people seem to think.
I got the same feeling from Avatar, James Cameron seemed to be falling over himself to simply familiarize us with Pandora and the Na'Vi and weave it into a narrative. (Too much in my opinion and the storytelling itself suffered - but I'll restrain myself from ranting). Anyway, I understand that Avatar 2 and Avatar 3 are already a done deal - now we're all familiar with the world, maybe Cameron can actually tell a complex story?
Perhaps Ridley Scott is planning the same progression?

Ok guys when I went to see the movie once the credits came this person rose up from the auddiance and was telling this guy next to him that "This is the first of a whole new saga" forgot what they had called it but apparently this is what they call something like a Side Story Series. Maybe there will be something having to do with that on the date. Well I was so glad once I predicted that this was going to linger after the movie cant wait.

Hmm - poking around in the javascript on http://www.whatis101112.com/ it looks like there's going to be a facility to type in an access code which is sent back to the server and validated.
If it likes your access code it squirts out some (presumably currently confidential) html. If it doesn't, you get "ACCESS DENIED".
Exciting!

Can't complete the cube - help! I'm posting out of frustration! I'm stuck on the final PREFRONTAL CORTEX ASSESSMENT with the 3D cube and it's bugging the heck out of me.
Three separate times I've solved the cube up to the final two pieces, 25 & 26 and they were around the wrong way. Despite much fiddling I couldn't get them around the right way without messing up other pieces. Here's my solving method:
1. Shuffle everything around so I've roughly got 1-9 in the first layer, 10-18 in the seond layer and 19-26 in the third layer.
2. Put the first layer in correct numerical order from 1-9.
3. Put the second layer in correct numerical order from 10-18
4. Put the third layer in correct numerical order from 19-26 - although failing miserably on this step.
I skim read a bit about the 2D 15 piece variant of this puzzle:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_puzzle
This indicates that some random configurations are genuinely impossible. Have other people found that sometimes they just can't solve the final 2 pieces and need to re-set the cube to get another configuration? Considering that there actually is a re-shuffle button, I have to assume that unsolvable configurations were anticipated by the designers.
Is there any rapid way to identify the configuration as unsolvable without having to spend 30 minutes getting to that final point?
Sad face.
