*takes a bow* Thank you, thank you! I always enjoy weaving these long, drawn-out, humorous predicaments, with no regard for how much time it takes to do it. I'm something of a verbose clown, I guess... Wink

 		These tests are awesome! I certainly haven't taken everyone's, but I'm trying.

As for my own test, how long does this take? I've tried now two days in a row and it seems to get stuck on "loading" for a long time. Mine is on meteorology, when/if it gets put up...

So, I did a test to "communicate" to Black Swan. It's extremely unsophisticated, arguably lame, but I figured I'd be the one to do it and give it a shot.

I'm not even sure how this might elicit a response, unless it manifests on the 17th, but I wasn't about to put my email address in here!


Well I took it and see your points.

If this is the right track to follow, how do we know when a reply is made?


Well, even if we provide an email to "Black Swan", we're still asking the game to reach out to the players, and so far, I don't think that's happened. This feels like a one-way ARG (I apologize if there's a more official term), where they communicate to us, so I can't imagine they'd even email if we gave them an email. But, "Black Swan", if he's able to hack into the system, knows that I created that test, and he would then be able to find my email, since that's what we sign up with. Or, again, I think if this is a way to communicate, we should see something about it tomorrow or the next day.

By the way, thanks to all who took my easy test Smile For those that didn't, I basically told "Black Swan" that we're getting his cheats (assuming he's the one leaking them), but we need his help to know more about what's going on and how to talk to him more directly.

How about "predetermined, downstream, semi-interactive narrative"? How's that for "official"? Wink

 		Engineering Test
Here is an Engineering Test I created that covers a fairly broad scope.

Caution: The last question will require some recall.

 		 my tests and a meaningless wager
I posted these on LOSTpedia, but bwing a veteran of the Cloverfield ARG, I decided to come on over here for a bit (oh my god the CLVRFLD thread is SO DEAD!). The Maths one is the most "dharma-esque", relating to the valenzetti equation (none of the number answers are random, they've all been calculated from the numbers).

For my MATHS test:

http://www.dharmawantsyou.com/site/?utid=411336206015911165810502196830#/qp

For my PSYCHOLOGY test:

http://www.dharmawantsyou.com/site/?utid=403987793613969854592610196081#/qp

IN FACT, I have a brownie here for anyone who gets the LOST reference from question 2 of my maths test, WITHOUT searching lostpedia. Razz

Geez, talk about raising the stakes... Shocked

 		I *love* brownies......but I *hate* math.....sigh. But I will take just to see if I know the question reference. Will report back in an edit.


EDIT: I took the test, missed the first two, and got all the rest correct. So obviously I didn't get your reference. All I could think of was the big condor that says Hurley's name. I don't know the equation either....which kinda freaks me out that I got 80%. I must have just had a great guessing streak, all though I tried to answer the ones that made the most sense. And it was math even!

ahh don't worry.... you don't really have to know maths. You just have to be an avid LOST fan to get it.
