That background is new. It was not there last night. The only thing behind the text about the seeker and the doors/gates was black. Just to let everyone know.

If it wasn't there before, then we should probably take it as a hint?

Looks like the greek letter Lambda. It's typically used in chemistry as the symbol for radioactive half-life.

"The seeker came now to a town as he walked along. Seven metal
doors or gates there were."

We have 7 metals.

"Once the final gate was behind"

On the periodic table, the last of these 7 metals is Mercury (80). If Mercury is behind us, then we're on Thallium (81).

" a seeker had to wait a week until he was sent for."

Taking this as a symbolic statement, this would mean 'add 7', that gives us Radium (88), a radioactive element.

"This time the one door is opened by a key that hangs there."

Is Radium in some way the key/answer? The half life of radium 226, the most common isotope is 1600 or 1620 (references vary).

Or.. we have to wait a week. Smile

ARRR! Those pages are driving me crazy!!! Why can't I view the source OR even save the page???

How is that possible????

EDIT: Figured it out. The page uses Active Content(which I'm assuming is like a program within the webpage) . You can view the source if you save the first file to your computer and go from there.

I can view the source... Its probably because I'm using Firefox. I think Firefox also has an extention that allows you to right click even when it is normally disabled.

hi, all...brand new to all of this ARG stuff, you're all better at it than i am, etc etc....but i wanted to bring up the following: in the initial seventhsons login screen (who are you?), i typed in 'iamyou' and got access to a snippet of binary-looking-code much like the "correct" answer's, only different. not sure if it means anything, but might be worth looking into?

edit: nevvermind (see next post); thanks Zi.

Well, the login is gone, and the color has changed. Its now a kinda lite-ish red (But not pink Smile

)

Did we get past the last door, and now have to wait a week to be invited farther in?
