We're missing quite a few of the older thinktankers.

I was very close to joining the ones who left to work on their own after I got "it is to humans..." because that's what, like the second-to-last question? I could have left ya'll stuck on it for at least another hour or so until someone else tried it. If I can get the last question, getting the prize at the end is a very tempting concept.

But what the hell, you know? I'm not as good with the researching when I don't know what the hell I'm researching, so I might as well give someone else the chance to win...

Actually, neither. I just got really distracted yesterday and decided to take a break. lol. You guys were doing great without me and I was running out of ideas.

Anyways, I will say this. For the last questions, I got '____|__|_______' after the question. Perhaps that means that the answer is three letters long, the first being 4 letters, the second being 2 letters, and the third being 7. lifeis_______ perhaps.

Very good thinking.... not sure if the first word could be 'life' can it, since it is the answer of another question?? none of our answers have been part of other answers, have they?

Are you sure we're on the last question?

I'm almost to the point that I'm just chilling waiting for someone else to solve this thing. Got a brew popped open and everything.

Crakeur, have you come across this web site.
www.skepticfiles.org/ufo2/uforev1.htm
Worth a look if anything. It is about how in 1954 ther CIA made a deal with the "greys".

Yeah, from the original quote at the beginning of the game, Keeper of the Truth SSO (Springer Skeptic Overlord)
Also, I hope this helps, back on the pages in the 70's, they said that the answer to #7 would hold importance. The answer was "Wills". I'm not trying to lead anyone astray, I just remember reading that. I'll try that angle.

Springer/S.O. said it was important?

Nope, but this may be the last question, and it's in white, so it might be different from the other ones. Also, it seems like "the final answer to everything" would involve life.

Tried:

lifeisamazing

No luck so far. Also going to upload a picture for those who cant see the screen anymore.

I'm almost to the point that I'm just chilling waiting for someone else to solve this thing. Got a brew popped open and everything.

I can dig it... I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I won't be the person who cracks this thing... I only 'solved' one answer before the board -- and someone got the post in before I did because my first entry was rejected as being too short. lol.

Back on topic... are we sure about this 4,2,7 letter scheme or is it just a hunch? I think we need to get back into the 'research' mode instead of this mostly random guessing. All of the difficult answers have come as a result of diligent research and cooperation -- there is little reason for me to think the last question would be an easy one.

any suggestions for where to look here on ATS?

Actually, I think that was the fake Simon Gray from HackerNetwork who said it on YIM.

I think it was the fake character from Hacker Network who started talking about lucky #7, am I wrong?

Where did the 4,2,7 thing come from AlienS? I've reread twice and I missed it both times?

seven letter words that have some relevance:


riddles
mystery
answers
correct
winners



anyone care to add?

whatisknowledge - nope
thisisknowledge - nope

for the two letter word choices are: is, as, on, of, if, an, or, at, no, go, to, do, we, he, be, me, ...

Well, I'm with you guys. It's my lunch hour and I'm done for now. I'll just keep checking to see who gets it right.

7 letter words that have been previous answers:

buffalo
tachyon
trantor
survive
barada


4 letter words that were answers:
void
this
life
grok
area [51]
give
hard
ones
next
dont
want
wait
live


i dont see any obvious connections between the words but it might help

I cant get out of my head that the answer will be GIVEN to the one worthy but how do we know who is worthy?

I got it! (11:55 AM Eastern time!) I got the screenshot to prove it! (I'll post the answer in a minute.

the answer might be a number, remember 42 ?

That's cool, I had been trying to go back to the beginning, seeing if by any chance it all reverts back.
Thanks
