 		9 ARG?
Experiment 9
Hi guys, I'm new around here. I've been lurking here for a little while, and figured this would be the best place to post this.

I went to the movies to see Harry Potter yesterday, and walked into a window cling with the attached QR code on it. I really have no idea how to translate such things, but I know they're often used in ARG's. It also said "9-9-09" and "9experiment.com", so it's definetely for the new movie 9 being produced by Tim Burton.

So, I went to http://9experiment.com/, and it's a pretty cool flash site, full of clickables. I didn't spend a whole lot of time on it, but I did solve a pretty easy puzzle involving the typewriter that sent me to a message from Elijah Wood, and then here:

So this really looks like either an ARG or some kind of Viral thing. Anyone know anything about this?

There are eight other qr codes, each slightly different, and each go to a cool secret.

 		First typewriter solve for those that need it: Code 1

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Click on the hidden letters "HOPE" in the scene to get the code.
It leads to a video, and a downloadable wallpaper here.


The 2nd challenge's solve: Code 2

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I've only been able to find 6/9 of the ripped paper pieces distributed to 9 associate websites, but was able to guess the missing symbol.
Entering the code allows you to register for a chance to win exclusive 9 inspired shoes from Pony. http://www.pony.com/9movie
You are then redirected to a second wallpaper available for download: here.
