The email also says the following DharmaWantsYou users have been promoted to instructor status : Bboepple, DanyWho, Ellenh, Iseibert, Lost4evr, Mattabramson, Orangemoonbeam, Sawyer78, Wrinkledogs

Test 5: Numeric Projection Evaluation and a Security Breach 147

A new video announcement with the subject, Security Breach appears on the home page of DWY. In it Hans seems very irritated. He wants to drive home the gravity of his message. He's upset that we've been exposed to cheat codes, and they are investigating the situation. He feels these are per Black Swan and have come from within the Dharma Initative. He urges all recruits to avoid contact with the material Black Swan is releasing. During the video there is a small blinking square in the bottom right hand corner which is Morse code (click below for the translation).

Test 5 is called Numeric Projection Evaluation. In it we need to complete 10 number sequences within 5 minutes. You can skip through if you become stuck but will get a zero for that question.

Sayid'sGirl has told us that someone over at Unifiction has translated the Morse code it gives us a cryptic clue to the cheat :

THE CHEAT IS IN THE SEQUENCE BUT THE SEQUENCE IS THE ANSWER

There appear to be two types of sequence, ordinary numerical ones which use standard mathematics.

There are also a sequence, seemingly always in question 7, that seems impossible. This is a Conway Sequence like 31 1311 111321 - you have to say what you see in these sequences -

31 = one 3 and one one = 1311

111321 = Three 1, one three, one two and one one = 31131211

At SpoilerTV, Random_Lostie_01 (LINK HERE) explains how to use the question #7 cheat to score a 100% on Test 5.

There are 6 groups; Chronos, Nyx, Chaos, Aether, Hemera, and Oranos
