Hans is not happy with the Black Swan and recruits using cheats.

 		Straight up, Tresbien. Tha's the first thing that I noticed. Some of those patterns in Test 5 are difficult. I might have to use the cheat for this one.

 		haha I totally forgot to try it while logged out first. I didn't think the test was difficult, but I plodded along forgetting entirely about the clock and didn't get to the last one at all. Got grouped in Chronos.

 		Cheat for Task 5:

Spoiler (Rollover to View): 


- .... . -.-. .... . .- - .. ... .. -. - .... . ... . --.- ..- . -. -.-. . -... ..- -


T H    E C    H    E A  T I  S   I  N  T H    E S   E Q    U   E N  C    E B    U   T


- .... . ... . --.- ..- . -. -.-. . .. ... - .... . .- -. ... .-- . .-.


T H    E S   E Q    U   E N  C    E I  S   T H    E A  N  S   W   E R


This was fun. Opened the video in Flash CS, exported the frames from the relevent range of the video, clipped to the lower right 20x20 pixels. Sorted the image file list by size (since there would be only two unique 'images') to select and batch rename all the 'dot' images for easy reading. Then ordered the file list in the frame order, transcribed the 'dot' and 'dash' regions of frames (dashes were about 4 or 5 frames), ran the result through a morse translator (quicker than doing it all manually), and finally made a few letter/word spacing adjustments, and there's the result! Very Happy

 		Man thebruce, you're good! I knew it was Morse code, but how to get it solved was the kicker for me. Glad we have one person willing to shell out some bucks for the proper tools... Wink

 		Question 7 seems to be the patterned one. Works off of linguistics.
