    Auto-message from garbot1:

    Unbelievable! You deciphered my 23rd encrypted data packet!

    Thank you - you deserve a reward!

    To claim your prize, you need to be the first person to post the following to the official Hover World Alternate Reality Game thread at TouchArcade.com:

    1. Password: GARBOT1PEPTALK_MEM_RECOVER_23

    2. Precise details of how you found this page (be sure to mention this URL "iphone.ezone.com/WHODOWEAPPRECIATE/garbot1")!

    3. At this point you have a choice:

    You can claim which Ezone.com app you would like as a prize, and earn SOME eligibilty points - which go towards your chance of winning the grand prize (A really cool hovering Parrot A.R.Drone).

    or

    You can forfeit the Ezone.com app prize, and earn EVEN MORE eligibility points towards your chance of winning the grand prize.

    or

    You can be really nice and selfless, and forfeit the Ezone.com app prize AND nominate another Hover World Alternate Reality Game thread member to have their eligibility points increased SOME (this in turn will earn you EVEN MORE MORE eligibility points!) Good karma and all that! :) PLEASE NOTE: Once YOU nominate someone - YOU can't nominate them again for the duration of the contest... you can, however, choose someone YOU haven't nominated yet! (We want to make it fair don't we?) Share it around! :)

    Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry up, someone else may be posting the winning entry right now!!

    Don't think any of us deserve points for this one. We had to be spoon fed the whole answer

    You have a point. If garbot1 sees fit to award points, I will nominate da shiz since he nominated me last puzzle. I owe others as well, but I have to go back and check who they were.

    well way to go staulcub, I stepped away when the '/' came in from garbot1. who'd a thunk to put a '/' part 5 in there. I tried all sorts of combinations including WHODOWEAPPRECIATEGARBOT1, which I know is 5 words.

    I have to quit overthinking these things. Well way past bedtime. SO nite.

    Rank update!

    Okay... just for fun, I processed all of the data and posts on this thread to see where everyone stands (rank-wise) in the running for the Grand Prize...

    So far (taking into account who has solved the most, who has helped the most, who has tried the hardest, who has the best manners, who has accumulated the most eligibility points, who has been given the most eligibility points, who has really tried, who has dropped the most hints, who has given it their all despite chasing red herrings and going off on wild goose chases, who has finally understood the hints, who has used both sides of their brain to the fullest, who has stepped in at the last second to solve the puzzle, who has taken the wildest guesses, who has come up with the most amazing deciphering ideas, who has blown the most gaskets, who has lost the most sleep, who has shown the most devotion to deciphering,who persisted most through the frustrating spoon-fed hintsÂ…etc) this is the updated top 10 list of names of who currently has the best chance of winning the grand prize of a Parrot AR. Drone (a cool hover toy!!!)

    1. hiurdin
    2. cloudcastles
    3. pajo_ojap
    4. staulcub
    5. jwcasser
    6. cjsbug
    7. da shiz wiz 19
    8. Daldaris
    9. KoOne23
    10. speed4mee

    Note: This list may change depending on how the rest of the contest continues... As you can see (if you look through this thread)... we've had quite a shuffle of names as we've progressed through this contest! So you never know! You've got to be in it for a chance at the Grand Prize! So get in there!

    If your name hasn't made the list - you need to try harder (you may just be in position 11)!

    Extra note: You don't need to actually solve the puzzles in order to be eligible... you may earn eligibility by just being helpful in the thread!

    Good luck everyone!

    Be on the look out for more puzzles!!

    Congrats to staulcub! Again, I was not online when the exciting final race to the right answer started. :(

    And again, I'm clueless about this latest video! :confused:

    From the sounds alone, I imagined that a robot (or whatever) was being assembled.

    Well, well... another cryptic video.

    A silhouette doing a somersault...
    But I don't think it's so black and white...

    Perhaps it's another kind of body. A body of water?
    hmm...

    Hmm, interesting shape.
    Looks like an oil spill.
    Or yes, a silhouette or a shadow of someone/something.
    Maybe a ninja :)
