Test 6: Specialized Department Evaluation 151

Test 6 is up, and in it we are being assessed on our expertise in a specific departmental skill set based on the results of the preceding evaluations. It's a multiple choice exam, only our first attempts will be counted, and you must be logged in to take the test!

There's a cheat for Test 6, posted by Unseenpresence in the comments at Dark UFO.

Click here to see the cheat.
1. Start taking Test 6.
2. As soon as the question comes up, hold down the 'C' button then press right-click.
3. The normal Flash Settings menu will pop up--but with a 'Black Swan' option at the top.
4. Click that option and the correct answer will blink. It works on every question.
(Posted by Unseenpresence at Dark UFO)

There are six groups reported so far: Demeter, Apollo, Ares, Hestia, Poseidon, and Athena, who are six of the Twelve Olympians.


*Thanks to Codysmom for e-mailing about the cheat.

Voices in the Drone 114

This morning when logging on there appears to be extra sounds in the "drone" noise that plays in the background of the DWY site

InEnglandAndLost
has provided a sample of the voice. This voice when played backwards appears to be saying: she/cheat, resembles, more, a, right, man, nothing, click, ?? (Inaudable), and, honest, see (C)

Lisa
has told us that this is a french proverb: "Nothing resembles an honest man more than a cheat"

Test 5 Email - The end .....? then say Hi to Hans 155

As usual a day after the test is published, Hans has sent an e-mail telling us about test 5, he says that he has "devised a number of particularly challenging questions "

The email also tells us that the recruitment programme will end at 12:00pm (PDT) on October 7th.


(view the email here)



There is a hidden message in the source code for the email on the website version :-






The number in the message is a phone number in the US 1-323-7438573, when you ring it you get through to Hans Van Eeghen's voicemail and you can leave a message for him. Listen to Zort70 leaving a voice mail for Hans below.

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 :

Click here to read test 5’s cheat hint.
THE CHEAT IS IN THE SEQUENCE BUT THE SEQUENCE IS THE ANSWER

Click here to read test 5’s cheat.

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


*Thanks to Sayid'sGirl for e-mailing about the update, and blinking square in the video, and thanks to EmeraldIsLost for posting the SpoilerTV link.

Test 4: Tangential Judgment Analysis 131

Hans Van Eegen has been busy e-mailing to tell us to go take test 4 at DWY. You can view the mail here. Earlier today at that link, when trying to view the source code, a log in box would pop up and access was denied. As of now though, you can view the source and no log-in pops up.

Test 4 is another multiple choice quiz, and there is a cheat this time.

The Test 4 cheat seems to be on question 10, if you type Mittelwerk the answer is revealed.
There are also new group placements which are all Titans.

New Video and Quiz Creator 186

This morning there's a new video from Hans Van Eegen. In it he tells us that he's developed an opportunity for us to create our own multiple choice exams to challenge our colleagues. By doing this we can earn 50 extra Dharma points per registered user who takes our test, and we'll contribute to our overall results. Also, if our test is of a high enough quality they will consider using it in the recruitment program. Our participation in the final weeks will have a significant influence on our final results. The video prompts us to go to Our Progress page to view details about how to create our own tests. The page also cautions us to submit our tests by September 17th.

Test 3 Email 55

Hans Van Eeghen has finally graced us with an e-mail (view it HERE) reminding us to go on over to DWY and take Test 3. It doesn't seem to contain anything of note in the source code, but it does commend our efforts, and mentions that Dharama is compiling Volunteer Assessment Dossiers for release at the end of the program. If you haven't taken Test 3 yet, give it a go, and while your at it vote in our poll in the previous post. Let us know which group you've been assigned to.

*Thanks to Zort70 and KingLost for Emailing.

Test 3: Dexterity and Attentiveness Evaluation 197

Test 3 is up, as well as a Video Announcement from Hans Van Eeghen outlining his pleasure with the testing results thus far. In it he throws out phrases like, "We are not yet half way through", "extremely encouraging", and "stunning" when discussing the progress we've made so far. Also he cautions us to, "Avoid contact with any insights distributed by this Black Swan." The video also contains several glitches and disturbances throughout.







The Dexterity and Attentiveness Evaluation test involves moving a Dharma logo around the screen, while trying to avoid bouncing balls. The longer it goes, the faster the balls move, making it very hard to get a perfect score of 100. Unless of course, you take the help of the Black Swan

Click here to read the "CHEAT" for Test 3
Hidden in the HVE video are the numbers and letters 40 60 B P M.

The "cheat" for test 3 seems to be related to the "40/60 BPM" that is part of the video corruption. In music, this speed is known as Lento. When the test has started, if you type the word lento, the blobs slow down. You can type it as many times as you want until the timer gets to 100.

Another way to cheat is more likely a glitch in Flash, than an actual cheat. Once the game starts, if you right-click the screen, the Flash menu will come up. Then you can left click anywhere else on the screen, and the Dharma logo will instantly move to that spot. While this arguably doesn't make the game any easier to play, if you left-click just outside of the playing field (see below), you Dharma logo can rest safely until the clock runs out.




After taking the test, you will be assigned into one of four groups: Otus, Antaeus, Tityos, or Enceladus - the names of Giants from Greek Mythology.



*Thanks to takes a village for pointing out the video on the home page of DWY, and to Ian for emailing about the cheat.

Test 2: Broad Spectrum Knowledge Analysis 268

*UPDATE: Hans Van Eegen is sending out e-mails asking Dharma recruits to go take Test 2. You can view the e-mail HERE. There seems to be a message in the source code hinting at the "cheat" (*Thanks Codysmom for pointing that out in comments.) or just showing someone's displeasure with Dharma. Could this be from RuckusGuy? Is he the one giving us these cheats?

Head over to Dharma Wants You and take Test 2. You may take the test as many times as you like, but only your first score will be counted. You will not be told your results upon completion, and there is a cheat this time as well.

We are being put into three groups this time around: Steropes, Brontes, or Polyphemus, which are all names of cyclops.

Click here to read more about the Test 2 cheat.

Leader Board and Progress Updated 155

If you visit Dharma Wants You today you can view the Leader Board, and also view your progress. It seems we are being placed into two groups: Pandora and Ganymede.
*Thanks to emeraldislost for e-mailing about this.



On my personal Progress page, I have 10 Dharma Points. I did recruit one person that I know signed-up so this may be where the ten points came from.

*UPDATE 8/24: It seems the leader board at DWY really will be updated every 24 hours. This morning there are some changes and rank shifts. Have a look.
