 		Might be a bit silly to say, since the challenge has already been solved (or has it?), but there's a "new" clue:

"have you checked the clock?"

we did Smile

Congratulations, you're team has already answered correctly and you're closer to the truth.


Why are we only closer... Is this challenge completely solved? Plus the last answer was also a command to do somethin else. And even with the missing answer line, could there be other places to answer/act? And lastly.. the word "first" from the morse code has yet to be used.

Or am I reaching and this recent clue change is just a hint for colonies that haven't solved it?

I'm brain storming here. Last time we were suppose to "start in the alley" and the clues were in podcastalley.com. Where are clock sites?

My google results:
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
http://www.worldtimeserver.com/
http://nist.time.gov/
http://www.deathclock.com/
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/va.html
http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/
http://www.ecben.net/calendar.shtml

Nothing seems in game, except prior references to http://www.humanclock.com/. Clocks are just too common.
But I have to ask: did we do this:

Due to technical difficulties the MPEG3 voice time announcer is temporarily off the air as of 28 April. Watch this space for more details.
The USNO Master Clock Voice Announcer on the web is a live MPEG3 stream of the audio from the USNO telephone time announcer
Any MPEG3 player or plugin can be used to listen to Master Clock time. It has been tested with Windows Media Player and RealPlayer.
The most accurate time (least amount of delay buffering) was found with the free Audioactive StreamPlay streaming player. The included documentation shows how to decrease the input buffer size to a few seconds. This may give audio time with only a few seconds delay.

 		I think "check clock our colony first" means that 'check the clock' is the answer, but only after first entering 'ourcolony'. That way everything is used and there are no bugs. Except for the ants.

 		new weird pic
Has anyone seen this before?



It's from http://ourcolony.blogspot.com/. This is supposed to be gamem8ker's blog, or something like that.

I believe the equation reads 15(24x 3 -9x(345000+600))=0

and if you solve for x you get x=360.

weird

I say it's either completly OOG or someone clever is trying to give us a hint.

 		Has anyone considered that maybe the "fake" meeting where the guy said OWNED was still real? Maybe thats the way it was planned to work out. That event , in my eyes, does not prove the gamem8ker blogspot false at all.

 		Nice...

As of the previous challenge (with the six pictures), it was proved that this blog is in fact associated with gamem8ker. (He used it to post one of the 6 pictures in the challenge.

Therefore, it is safe to assume that this is relevant.

Also, I messed with the picture in Fireworks... it DOES seem to say what you think it says.

Hmm.. I think you're right. It must have been the the Myspace one. Oh, and it wasn't yahoo pics (that was a reward pic) but instead was the XBox.com forum.

 		Here's another thought:

It now says, Have You Checkd The Clock?

Well, I DID check the clock... on XBOX.com. It has always been linked to a news article about MTV revealing info about XBOX2, right? However, it IS changed. (I know this because I've read in mulitple times thinking it would contain clues to various past challenges)

Anyway, now it has a Video Trailer on it (along with some other paragraphs that seem pointless). Nothing special in the video... at least that I can see... but perhaps I'm missing something?
