    Yes by the looks of it you should have figured it out. But I have to admit that you didn't give it away to me, cause I was already thinking along that line before you had posted. Okay, so your posts and questions probably did reinforce my thinking, so I won't be so sanctimonious about it:D Besides I owed you a nomination from a while back, dude.

    Onward.

    I checked my history and I tried Eht, eHt, eHT, EHT, and eht, but for some reason I missed ehT!

    thanks cjsbug for the explanation, this is just a little more

    da_shiz_wiz_19,
    yeah if you noticed garbots first message it had the line "godyzalehtrevodepmujxofnworbkciuq???", which got me to thinking it should be in reverse. Again the biggest issue was capitialization, as in sentence type capitialization, hense 'The' only backwards 'ehT'

    ******************
    Rebooting complete!

    *****************

    Congrats pajo! :D

    Thank you everyone for your help... :)

    That annoying Dispensing machine gave me an electric shock which threw me across the room! :mad::eek:

    My emergency shutdown sequence kicked-in to preserve what memory I had intact. I would have dreaded recalling all of the already deciphered memory packets! :eek:

    Anyway... one good thing came of all of this excitement...

    ... I discovered another memory data packet!!! :eek::D:)

    I will upload it as soon as I finish restarting all of my systems...

    Stay tuned! ;)

    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, who has spoon-fed the answer to other players, who has been spoon-fed the answer by other players, who has raced in at the last second and used the answer that someone had just provided without realising that they had just provided it, who has waited for everyone to go to sleep in order to solve the puzzlesÂ…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. pajo_ojap
    3. hiurdin
    4. jwcasser & cjsbug
    5. cloudcastles
    6. da shiz wiz 19
    7. Daldaris
    8. warcrack
    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!

    scratches bu..

    I'm thinking this is like when he showed us about the drone video and is just a video to show how the game is coming along. I'm excited about the visuals thats for sure. I don't believe this is a puzzle...atleast not enough of a puzzle to do anything about yet. Kinda like the last one where the first message really was only a lead in. I did try a few things quickly but decided not to waste time that I don't have anyway. SO I thinks we must wait a little longer.

    Its just amazing what garbot1 finds in his memory banks, now isn't it. Guess I'm still in the thinking process. I've tried circle type references but thats probably to blatent to be the solution.

    So again for those that don't remember or don't know from previous experience, the 4 equals means the 4th part of the puzzle. so somehow the circle or what it represents is the solution.

    Having trouble deciding how to interpret the black dot and the two circles. Can't come up with a unified theory yet.

    So just going to say 'HI' for now.
