    I thought you said you were in a depressed mode not in an expressed mode! You must have your computer set up to wake up when the next clue comes in. Its the only way, cause I knows you haz to sleep sometime!!!

    Very nice detective work there. This would have stumped me for awhile.

    Congrats go out to you again to staulcub!

    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 was the fastest at solving the puzzles, who has solved the most puzzles in a row…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. staulcub
    2. hiurdin
    3. pajo_ojap
    4. cjsbug
    5. jwcasser
    6. cloudcastles
    7. Daldaris
    8. da shiz wiz 19
    9. KoOne23
    10. warcrack

    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!! :D

    ???

    Well... I decided to get the light working in this room again.

    Being in the dark is really getting me down...

    So, I asked the Dispensing machine for a new light bulb...

    It replied by saying that it might think about helping me...

    ... if I can work out this riddle...

    Help! :eek::( :confused:

    Cold, Cat, Crazy? CCC? Civilian Conservation Corps?


    I don't know what "testing a biased form" means at all.

    OK, I'll throw out what immediately comes to mind:

    The cold guy says "Brrrr"
    The cat says "Mew"
    The dumb guy says "Duh"

    So that gives us "Bermuda"

    that leads my mind to "triangle"

    Auto-message from garbot1:

    Unbelievable! You deciphered my 31st 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: LOSTFOREVER?_MEM_RECOVER_31

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

    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!!

    Unfortunately, I can't nominate cjsbug because I have already done so in the past, although I really hope he earns eligibility points for finding all the pieces. I haven't nominated warcrack yet, so I will do so now.

    Ugh. I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see the answer is NOT in all caps this time. I tried BERMUDATRIANGLE. :(

    That was nearly spoon fed. But congrats staulcub :)

    I think the ranks are:

    1. staulcub
    7. hiurdin
    8. pajo_ojap
    9. cjsbug
    10. jwcasser
    11. cloudcastles
    12. Daldaris

    Spoon fed, hell ya shoved in the funnel and poured it on down! Its all staulcub could do not to choke on it. I of course was soundly sleeping during this one and missed it completely. Good detective work. I think you certainly deserve points for this one. And thats why I also try various captializations on possible answers, unless its know for sure that its upper or lower case. Of course a mix of capitalization makes it a little more interesting.

    HEY congrats to staulcub for being observant enough and persistent enough to recognize the solution when he sees one!
