Leyton, my brain is a little tired - are you asking someone to tell her to add the rest of the people who are following her? If so, she is following me so I could send the message.

Edit: just sent the message:

That's exactly what I was asking, thank you Smile

@Vond... So are we assuming this was Doc and that we're still on?

 		No doubt Doc wrote this, but I would wait for further updates before confirming that it's still on.

 		Maybe it's in response to Coffeebean's awesome email to Doc?

I was intriged by the quote marks too so I did a google search and this is what comes up: http://www.lifesciences.napier.ac.uk/teaching/SM/Scieth06.htm if it is relevant I think he is trying to give us a leason on how we should have behaved during the scavenger hunt

 		So do you think he's trying to say we weren't being honest?

 		Maybe somebody took credit for the anonymous tip and he caught them in a lie?

 		Yes, good find. Here's the entire paragraph it's taken from:
Quote:
I have not, so far, mentioned honesty, but of course it is important. Although the persistently dishonest are unlikely to be reading this, or to pay any heed to being told not to forge their results, even normally honest people can be tempted to tell what they think of as 'white lies' when they or someone else might be embarrassed by the exact truth. As an example, scientists on research ships often 'keep watches' like the sailors do. The night watch runs from midnight to 4 o'clock. The custom is for the person working the night watch to call their relief at, say 3:30, and then hand over to them face to face at 4 o'clock. Sometimes there is not much to do at that time of day, and so the watch-keeper may decide to go to bed immediately after calling their relief. Having been called in such circumstances, I know that it is easy to fall asleep again, and so come late on watch - say at 4:30. If observations were due at 4 o'clock exactly, it is very tempting to write them down as having taken place when due even though they were not made until half an hour later: this avoids embarassing both people involved. And it is easy to think that the exact time does not matter to within a hour. But it might; one does not know, and the safest course is to assume that it always does matter, and so write down the exact time of the observations.

That was what I was afraid of. :/ But the timeline doesn't really match up...?

If someone tried to claim credit for it, they will probably have to do it via PM in the IG forum itself, and not by email since that would defeat the purpose. Doc revealed the answer minutes before he disabled the forum, at approximately 0330, but did not post the twitter message until around 0730. We have a 4 hour gap there.

It isn't likely for Doc to doubt anyone that came forward before he revealed the answers, for he has no way to prove that they are not the original tipster. So if there's indeed an imposter, he would have to receive the PM after revealing the answer for him to have reasonable doubt, in which the imposer would have but a couple minutes to PM Doc. Even if someone managed that, why would Doc take 4 hours to point that out?

...Geez, I hope what I've said above makes sense. Doc seems to be claiming that someone was being dishonest, though. It could have been directed at the Email?

Could this be in reference to the fact that we didn't leave the entry blank,.... that we decided to put in a "cemetery" or "memorial" instead? Maybe we should have left it blank and waited for the result?

I don't know the answer but I sure hope this wasn't a one test wonder and we fail the experiment. If this is the case this wasn't a very good "scientific experiment" . When a scientist doesn't get the result he wants he usually runs another experiment. If Doc chooses to end the experiment he isn't much of a scientist now is he.

 		tongue tied, I think it's BEX because those are the same clothes she's been wearing. You can see the jacket with the white stripes on the sleeves in one of the gallery pix, and she's got on the matching top in the splash page image. Also, it looks like she's wearing the same small hoops as in the pic with Steph and Gran. And red lipstick makes many women look older.
