ariadnelost

am i bugging you? (hides face)

ariadnelost

IM me, I need help with something!!

Hits

No Ariadne, of course not

What can I help you with?

ariadnelost

oh hi hits! i am glad you're there

Hits

• waves*

ariadnelost

oh my gosh, i'm just adding all the found chapters to my blog, it's amazing... anyway there's this thing on the pages i found in cardiff...

sorry this is coming out funny my brain is stretched to its limits i feel!! anyway...

Hits

Oh I've had those days... Not quite the same as you I think but I can approximate the sensation.

ariadnelost

have you been looking at the pages? have you seen the one with the six drawings, that match up with the agonothetai codes we put into the "omphaputer?" do you have any idea what i'm talking about? do i sound like a crazy person, yes probaby!!

Hits

Hee

I have been looking at them. Let me bring it up.

ariadnelost

yay thanks

Hits

The one from Cardiff yes?

Or the one from Shanghai?

ariadnelost

yes! the one i have

Hits

I've got the translation here

ariadnelost

so it looks like a kind of test, right? do you agree? that wasn't my idea... a bunch of people emailed me, and of course, i thought, yes! it does look like a test!

Hits

I believe you're right.

ariadnelost

but it's kind of broken, right? or like a puzzle?

there's no key!!

Hits

Well, possibly the pictures are the key

ariadnelost

well, yes, but which pictures go with which answers?

kai said he would build us a real working test for my site

Hits

Hmm

ariadnelost

but we realized we don't know what goes with what

Hits

So, you want those of us who are helping you to take this test, but you need the answer key

Which is a test in itself

ariadnelost

EXACTLY! don't you think?? or is that too weird an idea

Hits

No actually, I sort of assumed when I read this at first that I was suppose to choose what fit me best.

But I had trouble deciding.

But I think my mistake then

Is that I was trying to choose one of the groups of three.

ariadnelost

it says "the journey begins with knowing your strength" right

Hits

When really, each line is a sort of question for this test.

Yes

ariadnelost

i think it's like a riddle... yes, exactly!!

Hits

This is a personality test, I recently took one in management class

I don't know why I didn't see it before.

ariadnelost

yes!! that's what i think

so we just have to work out what each answer represents, right?

Hits

Yes

ariadnelost

that's so cool you have studied personality tests!!

Hits

I'm not an expert

ariadnelost

you should be REALLY good at this, i'm so glad i im'd you

Hits

I'll get my book

ariadnelost

yay

Sent at 11:29 AM on Monday

Hits

So the thing at the end is probably the "key"

ariadnelost

right, like the results

we just have to figure out how to GET the results from the questions!!

Hits

Well, when you type in each Strength into the Omphputer you get a description of the strength

That should help us identify each attribute to a strength pretty good

ariadnelost

yes that sounds like a very good strategy1

Hits

For instance, your strength brings back "You bring leadership, direction, and focus to our mission.

You will be one of our pilots."

So we just have to match up each line that goes with this definition

I could draw something up for you

ariadnelost

and then everyone can take the test!!

Hits

And let the others know so they can try too

ariadnelost

that would be great!!

Hits

Yes, that'll be cool

ariadnelost

i have im'd two other friends about this too

Hits

Okay, I'll spread the words

Awesome.

ariadnelost

thank you hits!!

Hits

Yay, I'm excited!

ariadnelost

me too! okay i have to go look at some weird pages eli hunt mailed out this weekend

Hits

All do that after I'm done making the test

ariadnelost

great and we can email it to kai!!

Hits

I will

What is it again? Just in case?

ariadnelost

ha ha he told me specifically not to give anyone his email address because he doesn't want to get tech support questions about my website ha ha

Hits

lol!

Okay, I'll send it to you then

I used to be everybody's tech support I know the feeling

some time later

ariadnelost

oh no! well you know what!

take the test now!!

before you score it!!

Hits

I suspect I'm MYTHOPOEIA but...

Wow. That's a great idea.

ariadnelost

it looks like groups of 3s right?

maybe if you just pick your favorite from each group

that way you can know what you would really answer before you reverse enginere it
