[EMAIL/SOLVED] SRI Phase 2 Puzzle

Just got this, I won't post the puzzle. Who did *not* get this?

Quote:
Citizen Sandman Recruit;

You have completed the first stage of your Sandman Recruitment. Even
though your initial SRI form had been red flagged, your interaction
with the Sandman Recruit Declination Office has cleared your
evaluation. At this time we are confident with allowing you to proceed
into the next stage of recruitment.
Remember that you are being held to a higher standard. Your honesty and
abilities will be monitored, tracked, and evaluated. Also note, that at
this time you are still a Citizen of the City of Domes and any contact
with Runners or Runner Groups will be interpreted as a violation. Any
Runner investigation should only be pursued by current Sandmen.
You are now allowed to continue your recruitment in the SRI by using
the new access code for access and loading the STS program.

As stage two of your recruitment, please complete the following
sequences.

Puzzle

There is no need to respond to this communication.

Woo! I got it, which means that getting the right answers in that phone call wasn't needed! I manage to squirm by yet again. Twisted Evil

Didn't get it. Oh well. I was kinda hoping I'd get to be DomeCentral's lackey anyway rather than being some lousy Sandman.

I never recieved the phone call ( partly because I dont have a phone, I made up my 10 digit access code Smile ) so getting the answers right there to me doesnt seem to have anyting to do with getting the sri 2 email. And thanks for the answers. I never would have figured that out.....not now anyway.

Great job, team!

Here is the first part of my email that is different from the one that started this thread:

Quote:

though your initial SRI form had been red flagged, your conversation
with the Sandman Recruit Declination Office has impressed SMHQ. Your

.


As you might recall, I got a phone call and answered 8 questions (all perfectly).

I got a call from Travis, and couldn't answer my phone, so he left me a voicemail. He never called back, however, and I still got the next stage email. Cool!

Yep, I've got that line too.

I had a feeling from the beginning that those questions were pointless, and they just did this phone call thing for fun and immersion. There's simply too much work that they would have had to put into it, and it wouldn't be fair if they asked different questions randomly.So, when I was unprepared and got everything wrong, I was upset but didn't let it bother me too much.

The joke is on the people who carried that set of rules around and scrambled to get (heh) perfect answers.

/me sticks her tongue out at Svengoolie.

Actually, I was laughing at the people who actually *demonstrated* the Francis crouch.
