 		I received an email this morning after my response last night that I would like to continue as a student.

The first letter in each line spells out gold. I tried using it at the end of the AI url with no luck. Might be a password for something later on?

 		Hi & nice acrostic find, LM. Haven't emailed yet for the A.I. reboot but struck "gold" (hint Smile ) in the UN key tab with yours.
UN key PW solve

UN is "key". PW is "gold"

 		Got my emails last night, replied asking if this was going to be a full reboot or a sort of soft reboot where our prior knowledge would still apply, this was their reply:
Quote:
Excellent question! Some things you learned last semester may be useful or relevant, but for the most part this will be a new semester and any new students can jump right in fresh with no prior knowledge of The Institute or its curriculum.

I also got the 'Gold' email and followed the same path Amandel did to get

You first key is gnosis.

In this way, then, divide all science into two arts, calling the one practical (praktikos), and the other purely intellectual (gnostikos).

Time to send in my weekly challenge!

 		New email
Got a new email (maybe in response to my weekly challenge), the subject was "Return 10" and the body was

I've tried all that was readily apparent, rotating the square, rot10, rot16 (return 10, -10?)... or maybe I'm just trying too hard and I'm actually supposed to return 10 words...
Edit: Searched for words, found more than ten:

 		Just sent in my weekly challenge. I went with C3PO. I guess it's all that "gold" talk.. Very Happy
As I lurked mostly through the first half of the game, I'll be playing catch up. How long will it take me to get through 22 pages?..hmmm

 		Sent in the WC. Chose HAL 9000. Assume I will get the same email so I will look to see if I can find any other words. Pretty good at word searches.

 		Got an email from poor Micah:

Quote:
To Whom It May Concern:


There may be a problem with your A.I. registration.



Error Code: 2-5 3-1-18-5-6-21-12

Will do Micah, will do.


(Max was way ahead of his time!)
ETA: "In a day and age when we make computer images to look like humans. When Max Headroom was being produced, they had to make a human actor look like a computer image."

TGIF y'all. Got a feeling it's 10 specific words/names of famous A.I./computers. Have found maybe 6 but am doing happy-hour with pals. They are:

HAL, KITT, Watson, Data, Talos and VY (from Walking Dead series). If y'all find more will you post them on the thread plse so we can judge the most likely. THX

 		That AI word search thing is a good one. Obviously, the error code Micah emailed translates to

"Be careful"
, will send something back in the same code, see if I get some reaction.
