Erm, I dunno about you guys, but I'm not seeing Past/Present/future on "the_riddle.php"
I'm seeing a painting of what appear to be the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
And a form that submits to "closer.php," which seems to give the same response no matter what text is submitted: a tiled background of "nuclear pandas" and a timer set for one week.

You're right, that wasn't there last I checked. Hmm. Maybe that's where our words go?

UH-OH!
Sorry, it had to be said. Is there a password in anything we've done for this box? Looks like we've got nine hours for it

Nuclear works in the enter box and goes to http://argensoft.netau.net/closer.php?what=nuclear (theendisnear.jpg) Source code shows the countdown to begin with days.

Same thing that any other password leads you to, I don't think its the right one.

From the source of the updated riddle page:

I entered Apocalypse and apocalypse but not APOCALYPSE. I didn't notice a change, but then again I wasn't paying close attention.

Yeah, "Apocalypse" was the first thing I entered. It wasn't allcaps, but it seems that doesn't make a difference anyhow.

The binary is gone from the source. My take is that Anipanda was just gloating and saying: See, Here's what you (Merago) get for solving my riddle...the Apocalypse
Believe it got posted in the source as Twitter was down for awhile last night and maybe we'll start getting directions for the actual p/w over the next days. The LAUNCH sequence is still counting down

Dominic (TSO PM) denies involvement in this ARG, but says he suspects someone.

Does anyone recognize the music on the closer.php page? In the source code it is named 'what_is_it.'
