 		Put all solution Ideas here
Guys, we are running out of time, and I'm afraid what THX's blog said will come true and we will be left behind. So to focus our efforts as we are asked to, please put any and all solution ideas here. Come on if we work together we can get this!

 		Just sharing my idea..

What if the "key" we all are looking for is a team password that can be entered on the team password page (http://www.ourcolony.net/teampass/).

With the correct password you would join a team named "OurColony", which will be the team that gets the business-class treatment. Hence the lines from THX (which was the only thing he was allowed to say) could be true "OurColony will be first...", thus OurColony wouldn't be the site, but a team. And the team password could probably be extracted from the prices we've got, and we probably need to supply this password before the clock hits 0..

Any thoughts?

 		I had a thought along that line too... I went back to previous answers and found the answer: "96877353" from one of the challenges... That fit in the pw box but was invalid

 		keep in mind the team password box is 8 characters long. also so far all team passwords have been 8 chars too. The front page box is also 8 long.

 		keep in mind that if this theory is correct that so far every team pass has been just nums. also keep in mind that if u count the t and y that it is SIXTY not SIX therfore 60 not 6

but we are ignoring the division sign. also the file names might be important

 		on second thought i think the OurColony colony theory should be dropped

THX's Blog:

Most of you have put a lot of work into discovering the truth. I've told you before that neither I or gamem8ker would ever hold one above another. However some of you believe that only few will be "chosen." This is not true. There was only one singled out of the crowd. But, only to represent the colony until the moment you had the key. This time has come.


also if you read the rest of the post it says flat out that the chicago challenge (or its reward) forms some part of the key

 		makes sense phoenix9. then again maybe ALL will get the truth in time. but few will get it early, and be the FIRST. and that would be their reward? i think im done with this. im just gonna wait till the clock winds down.

Well, that's still true for the OurColony-team idea.. As everyone could join the team and not be left out once the key/password is known. "The colony" that THX refers to could still be the team, as he might have been chosen as the team-captain... Like all other regular teams..

And if you try to register a team with "OurColony" as name it will fail saying that the name is already taken..

I know it's a long shot, but hey, if we don't shoot, we won't score! Smile
