Update: 09:30 GMT Thanks to Cypher80b who has decompiled part of the flash for you to look at. Click here to see the code and his comments.
Update: 08:20 GMT Thanks to blandestk who has discovered the cheat/tip. Also thanks to Becky who as found the name of the Tip. It's called the "Conway Sequence".
all right, i think i figured it out.
each time, the cursor changes when it's over the question that is not simple arithmetic. all the sequences can be deduced logically with addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc, except for the ones that appear like "13, 1113, 3113 , ___." i was able to get these types just because i've seen those sequences before, but they are indeed different, and they relate to the morse code of "THE CHEAT IS IN THE SEQUENCE BUT THE SEQUENCE IS THE ANSWER."
to get these questions, you are basically looking at the previous number and saying "there is one 1 then one 3," giving you 1113. the next number is "three 1s, one 3," which is written as 3113. the next in the sequence would be "one 3, two 1s, one three," or 132113.
i think the cheat is just to answer that question, which i have always had in my 10 questions.
Update: 08:00 GMT Thanks to Lost4Evr for the transcript of the video for those with no sound/video.
"Nameste my recruits. Today I have again taken the decision to address you all in a video presentation in the hope that it may drive home the gravity of my message.
It has come to my attention that a number of recruits were exposed to cheat codes in recent tests. We do not yet know how many recruits exploited this information to their advantage but be assured, we are investigating. This latest breach is most definitely related to the previous Black Swan incidents. Most disturbingly, I have discovered these breaches have originated from within the Dharma Initiative itself. It appears Black Swan is someone within this noble organization. It is not yet clear what this person's motivation might be, but we are doing everything in our power to gain the upper hand in this contest. In the meantime, I urge all recruits to avoid contact with the material Black Swan is releasing. These cheats threaten to contaminate the integrity of the entire testing program. If you discover what appears to be a cheat, I urge you not to view or investigate the material further. In any case, I thank you for your dedication to the Dharma Initiative's vision and wish you well in your remaining assessments. Nameste"
*UPDATED* I am in the group Aether. What other groups are out there? Links added below for Aether, Chaos and Chronos.
Thanks also to Kristine who posted the same link in the comments.
*UPDATED* With screencap of white flashing dot.
The test is purely a numerical patterns test where you have to enter in the next number you think fits the sequence.
There is also a new video, which once again is from Hans Van Eeghan. He says that there are cheats that have been some how been put in the tests via the Black Swan, but that we should not use them in any way.
The key to the video is a little white flashing dot on the bottom right side of the video, which seems like it could be Morse code. If anyone can figure out what it says please let us know. Below is a new screencap.
Also here are links to the current groups as linked to Mythology again and seem like they are linked to the elements or space:
Aether - Mist/Upper Sky Chaos - Dark Space Chronos - Time Oranos - Uranus, the "Father Sky". Hemera - Goddess of the daytime Nyx - Goddess of the night
