I'm in Pandora, 0 points. Got a 52 without the cheat, but it seems that they've fixed it: Even with the cheat the 2nd time I took the test, the test automatically gave me a 52 instead of the 100 that the timer was at after completion

Yeah, it is NOT "fixed". You can still cheat....just tried it again. They wouldn't "fix" something they WANT you to do.

@ Sassy

Maybe I missed something that led to the idea that they "want" people to cheat but that definitely brings up some very real possibilities. What if the fact that it's so easy to cheat is actually part of the game's design? What if the only way to actually be chosen as a part of Dharma is to show either your vast resourcefulness or superior moral fiber?

I'm in Pandora group. Fair game was 86%, cheat game was 99% and 10 Dharma points (I invited a friend).

And I asked Dan about Pandora group. My question was

[GalvanicSpiral]

Who is "Dan", again?

I don't think there is a correlation between those that use the cheat and those that don't, because I used the cheat to get 99% and am in Ganymede group. So, maybe this guy *is* pulling your chain?

Hmm, interesting. I'm guessing you contacted Dan through the Facebook page?

[kosmopol]

Yes, I found him at Facebook. I just hope, it isn't a gamejack. (He has Charles Widmore also as friend, and in this case I doubt, if it's real profile of Widmore - if we can say "real" about IG character )

Dan Bronson and RuckusGuy have not been confirmed as the same person. As far as I know, at no point has a message from RG stated that he was DB, nor has DB stated that he was RG. This is assumed to be the case because both the bluetooth 'hack' and the Chang video happened at Comic-Com.
I think that they may be two separate people. DB has had a very large (forgive the pun ) public appearance and "has been expelled from the volunteer program and had his Dharma Initiative membership permanently revoked." While RG is still veiled , speaking only through source code messages. With RG being 'on the inside', he would want to remain incognito. So, I highly doubt that that they are one in the same.

Pandora here, 78% without the cheat, no Dharma points.

Of course my brain is running along the lines of "don't push the button" - "don't open the hatch" - "don't open the box."

The groups could simply be a piece of data from our profiles--the first that comes to mind would be male/female since the mythical Ganymede and Pandora are of opposite gender. Alternatively, if the groups are a red herring and they want it to look random, it could be something really obscure (i.e.- the 11th digit in your card number is even/odd).

Would've been cooler if it matched up to cheating or not cheating, IMO. The mythic Pandora is responsible for unleashing all the evils of mankind, and Ganymede is a victim of his own beauty and innocence... paints a nice ambiguous picture of morality, no?
