 		decompiled GO, found key?
This is a stab in the dark, but then again what isn't these days.

The haiku clue and the empty Go leader board left me with the impression that there was something we were supposed to find inside the SWF file. So, I bit the bullet and decompiled it. Unfortunately I didn't find anything blatantly suspicious, but the code that generates the password might mean something.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

function getCode()
{
r0 = random(10);
r1 = r0;
r2 = r0;
while (r1 == r0)
{
r1 = random(10);
} // end while
while (r2 == r0 || r2 == r1)
{
r2 = random(10);
} // end while
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
if (this["r" + i] == 0)
{
this["letter" + i] = new String("P");
}
else if (this["r" + i] == 1)
{
this["letter" + i] = new String("U");
}
else if (this["r" + i] == 2)
{
this["letter" + i] = new String("D");
}
else if (this["r" + i] == 3)
{
this["letter" + i] = new String("E");
}
else if (this["r" + i] == 4)
{
this["letter" + i] = new String("X");
}
else if (this["r" + i] == 5)
{
this["letter" + i] = new String("I");
}
else if (this["r" + i] == 6)
{
this["letter" + i] = new String("M");
}
else if (this["r" + i] == 7)
{
this["letter" + i] = new String("L");
}
else if (this["r" + i] == 8)
{
this["letter" + i] = new String("A");
}
else if (this["r" + i] == 9)
{
this["letter" + i] = new String("L");
} // end if
} // end of for
theCode = new String();
theCode = theCode.concat(letter0, letter1, letter2);
_root.code = theCode;
} // End of the function


The interesting bit to me was the list of characters used to create the password - perhaps they're meaningful, and/or in a meaningful order?

It's ten characters, and if I remember correctly a ten-letter word was used as a decryption key earlier? (I haven't been working on that stuff myself, just following the spoilers.)

 		Again, it unscrambles to ALL MIXED UP.

 		thoughts...
I believe it's releasing three random letters in a random order from the "all mixed up" set. Probably the intention is that we'll all submit our codes to a discussion and see the anagram pattern collectively.
