Excited about a test...

Just a quick weekend update. Hope everyone is excited and ready for Tuesday - and hope the Dharma Wants You servers are also ready to handle the traffic, they were down for a heck of a while on Friday... I have faith though, and am very glad that things are in motion now, and looking forward to a very good story, and indeed the challenge that await in these aptitude tests. Remember to take lots of screencaps!

Thanks to those who also had a bash at the little code I made in the last post - I think answers will be posted at some point over at LostARGs.com - where they are now on Clue #3. There isn't any connection between clues, but its nice to try and solve things before the proper game ships out brain teasers our way. Clue #2 is pretty awesome, and 3 is much nicer after my first one which people found really difficult (I wanted to emulate the book Masquerade in terms of all the red herrings and misdirection, but maybe I emulated it a little TOO much - it took literally YEARS before that book was solved). I've also made a new one today, though I dunno if it will be released... but its quite an original and fun one involving chess.

However, Tuesday will bring much better clues than those fans can muster - clues that actually mean something to a narrative. So enjoy ruby Tuesday, before she comes and goes.

Excellent work! Stumbled onto this blog/site this morning and have been buried in puzzle solving all day. Tuesday can't get here fast enough.

Hmm, well it's Tuesday and it looks like nothings happening on the site. Am I missing something?

I looked at http://www.dharmawantsyou.com/site/emails/0820.php and it says restricted area. From what I've heard, that means that they are going to send out an email tomorrow. Will it be about the new test (probably) or about why the test got up so late or didn't get up at all. Just a thought. =)
