Well, "seven" is not the next keyword.
Do you think there is a better way to figure out the previous puzzle?
Trial & error is not very satisfactory.

What do Falcor from Neverending Story (great movie), a rabbit's foot (the rabbit is looking at its foot), and a horseshoe have in common?
They are all good luck!
But.. it doesn't seem to work. I've email luckSPLAT maefamily.info, luckySPLAT maefamily.info, and goodluckSPLAT maefamily.info and haven't gotten a response yet.

@Dionysus
It's about what brings you luck. Possibly a number.
The question is: Why is 4179 Bronco's lucky number?

Steven referenced 1979 on his homepage.... perhaps april fools day of 1979 is important....

Dionysus googled 4179 and pages with the asteroid Toutatis came up so we think it might be a reference to the asteroid being Bronco's lucky charm.
But only now I recognise it's April Fool's...

I think decompiling the flash is cheating, isn't it?
In that case it was.
Hence why I didn't send an e-mail.
Though decompiling SWFs was how SaiPets was found...
Regardless, I did some sniffing around after I woke up today. Toutatis has been referenced in this ARG before. A little something on an auction site , perhaps? It also has a very interesting property , that being that it comes very close to Earth.
Lucky? Perhaps Toutatis is the next key word?

I was thinking about some kind of ciphering or conversion that made IGOR or BRONCO = 4179 or something like that, but no luck yet

Exactly.
And there was no other way to find that, I guess.
Well, in this case they are setting the rules and the rules say you can decompile Flash.
I didn't intend to make you look bad or something, I'm just wondering about what is and what is not allowed in ARGs.
