new ARG for 2008! - Page 2

There are at least 2 moments where French is spoken. The first time "Travel at great speeds over a long distance" is said. I didn't catch the 2nd quote because there's so much other noise.

What I found when watching it is:

1. "What would you sacrifice to stay alive?"

2. "What makes you angry?"

3. then a flash of a deformed carrot and 4 pelvis and spine bones all lined up..

4. I think there is reverse speech or something from sec 29-31

5. "Why does the female black widow spider eat the male after mating?"

6. "Who will be your constant"

7. The last frames a picture of Little Red Riding hood in bed next to the big bad wolf

I am sure I missed some things but does anyone have thoughts as to what it all means.. IF anyone can figure out what is being said in from second 29-31 that would be great.

well, i got an email and when i clicked the link i too got the blank blue screen.

but then i got another email either yesterday or today. there was no link but it basically said the testing would begin.

so i went to the site and i noticed a button for "test 1"

it's a test to assemble peices into a box form in the time of 100 seconds.

it allows you to take the test over and over if you want until you get a score you like.

hint: you will have peices left over

So here has taken the first test?

What was your best score?

My best was an 83

and my worst was 37

wow. 83, huh?

i was hoping we wouldn't get into test scores...

uh, my best was 55. and i left it there because i didn't want to screw it up.

my worst was 14

10:37 PM

I noticed today that they updated the my progress and leaderboard sections.
My progress just says that I the Eligibility Test and Test 1 are complete.

It also says that my current group is Ganymede.

Anybody know what this means? I realize Ganymede is the name of one of Jupiter's moons but is it good to be in group Ganymede or what?

Oh yeah, my Dharma points is zero. I read on another website that you have to recruit people to get Dharma points.

I wonder what this ARG is going to acomplish? I was hoping to get some information about the show, but so far it doesn't seem to be going that way.

same here, same same.

except...my group is PANDORA.

maybe pandora is for slower people, ha ha.

so, is anyone else playing? now they have test #2 on the site. this time you are not allowed to take it over and over to improve your score. as a matter of fact they don't tell you your score at the end of it, just a message saying you will find out when they do the final assessment. but when i was done, i checked my progress and my group name for the second test was "brontes"

I wanted to play but this month has been crazy so I didn't get to.. Trying to stay up to date with it on Lostpedia and some other Lost forums as well...

Thanks Pchee & Folie for updating on your way though the game. If I find any other info that may help I will do my best to post the info

after i took the test i wrote down the questions as best as i could remember them. i didn't do it during the test because the test is timed and it affects your score. also, it tells you that your first score is the only one that counts, even if you take the test over, which they will allow you to do but they warn you that all the questions will be different. i only did the test the one time and i think i did horrible.

if anyone is interested the questions were (not in order):
(all answers were multiple choice, i will list the choices given underneath the question)

1. Which two of these conjunctions are always together ?
(whether, or ; neither, or ; and, but)

2. which of these drugs are anti-biotics?
(bunch of drug names i didn't recognize and don't remember)

3. What russian woman is known for spending the longest stay in space in 1995?
( i got this wrong, i picked the only answer with the name Valentina, but she was the
first woman in space not the one with the longest stay...)

4. which of these post-impressionist painters is known for tahitian subject matter?
(gaugain, rousseau, van gogh...i should have known the answer was rousseau...duh!)

5. who was heathcliff's love in wuthering heights
(catherine, the only one i KNOW i got right)

6. what is the second layer of skin under the top layer?
( i got this right, too. it's the dermis)

7. what word describes medical knowledge based on experience?
(i picked "empirical", think it's right, can't remember the other words)

8. which has the largest land area?
(of the four places listed, i only remember two: nepal and syria. the other two i
literally had never heard of)

9. what is the answer to this question?
(no joke. the answers listed were: "A, B, C, D"

If i can help any of you get a better score by giving you a head's up on these questions, then good. because i totally bombed and the site says something about people being "picked" based on their assessment which is based on the scores. maybe if i don't get picked someone else will (folie???) and tell me what happens!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think I did very well on the test. I had a couple of the same questions as you did pchee. I had the dermis question and the antibiotic. I just guessed on the antibiotic question.
I also had a book and a impressionist painter question, but they were different. It wanted to know the love interest for the main character in the Great Gatsby. And the painter question had Manet, Monet, and two others.
The last question I can remember was asking for the capital of Australia's Northern Territory.
