Test complete in 1:07. Didn't google any answers - just answered. Used the I cheat for 10. Was Ganymede, now Ganymede/Steropes. Sadly, still no Dharma points.

Ganymede/Brontes for me.
Cheated on test 1, did the #10 cheat for test 2, finished in 6:15 (should have waited until I was home and able to focus).

FIO Ganymede : First time: no cheat; Eventiually got 84% no cheat then cheated to 99%
Brontes : No cheat but guessed c (when in doubt it's always "C") in ~2:00 (with google)

Took test two with my "invited" account. Didn't get the cheat, but still chose "C" for question 10. Got sorted into Brontes. This account has not taken test 1, so it doesn't look as if they necessarily branch. I didn't take note of time to complete, though

Didn't cheat on my first trip through, did on my second. I'm Pandora/Polyphemus. Great catch on the space bar and 'i' button, scifikg! That's the most powerful evidence I've heard yet for the names of the groups. The sorting method is completely irrelevant (in fact, I'm willing to bet there's more to do with your ID# than how you answered), but the names give clues on how to cheat.
Now, WHY we're cheating the system remains to be seen. Obviously, to get into the depths of the Dharma Initiative, but why are there cheats in the first place?

It says in the rules only the first run counts.

Welllllllllllllll......
I tried to cheat.....I really did!!! But I couldn't get a second page to run to use Google. So I had to answer them all on my own. Over half I knew immediately. Fortunately, looking at the list in the previous post, it looks like most of my "guesses" were correct.
There is one question not on there that I got that is bugging the heck out of me....was Gatsby's obsession Myrtle or Daisy in the Great Gatsby??? I put Myrtle....it's been soooo long since I read that.
The best part is when I got to question ten, my internet was so clogged from me attempting to run a second screen, the letter C was blinking without me having to press the letter "I". Is that too much? I was laughing so hard I almost didn't finish! My total time was about 4 minutes.
I ended up in Pandora/Polyphemus. I am reasonably sure I didn't miss any of the questions--except for perhaps the Gatsby question.
I also had "the element there is the most of in the universe" (hydrogen), "which of these are both antibiotics" (keflex + something else), "which of these is plural possesive" (boys') "what kind of creature is a tern" (bird).

Hi. I'm Pandora/Steropes. I didn't cheat on my first time at test one, but I tried the cheat later, but I didn't "save" the results. My best result in the first test is 87, and my first result was near the 70's. In the second test my questions were about medicine, astronomy, literature, history and art. I didn't cheat, and I picked A. I knew the answer for half of the questions, and I invented the others. I haven't any Dharma Point. And I finished the test in about 1:30.

I think the Keflex choice was incorrect (Elavil is an anti-depressant). The right answer was Biaxin and Levaquin.

Yeah...you are right......I knew the two I could identify were Biaxin and Keflex.....I *know* both of those are antibiotics. I have no idea what Levaquin is. But I also know Elavil is an antidepressant, so I probably checked "biaxin and levaquin".....I couldn't remember which one was paired with which! LOL!! EDIT: if I didn't then I guess I am not going to be given any nursing assignments!
So anyone know that Great Gatsby answer????
