noknownsurvivors.com Aptitude Test

LordViru · 26-08-2008, 07:04 PM

Having done the test on noknownsurvivors.com I only got 32 points, however I have gone and done research and now have come up with some extra answers as well as my first right answers, so for anyone who has not taken the test here are some right answers, correct guesses, and opinions.

1. Corporation ID= CEC (Correct answer)
2. Ship ID= Ishimura (Correct answer)
4. Planetcrack subject= Aegis 7 (Correct answer)
5. Unitologist mantra= "Altman be praised" (Correct answer)
7.Dangerous tool, injured Stanley= Line Cutter (Correct answer)
8. Decoded ORF message= I do not know this, I have not heard of a message on either the comics, websites or trailers, so your guess is as good as mine, if anyone does know this please tell me.

So there you have it, go try your luck, according to the leaderboards there are prizes to be one for being at the top!

EDIT: Tryed again, number 5 guess was correct however as SilentOctober says #3 is not 2 years, and #6 is not 2, so I'm not sure what else is left, although it clearly shows that Gauthier has a thumb and finger left after her accident I don't know how to answer the question, and as for the time elapse, I just honestly don't know, same for #8!

SilentOctober · 27-08-2008, 02:06 AM

I'm sorry to say that...

#3 is not: "2 years"
#5 is not: "Altman be praised."
#6 is not: "2"

No clue on #8.

The rest are correct as you have provided...

stinkypp · 27-08-2008, 06:58 AM

could 6 be one some people believe the thumb is not a finger

Riprie · 27-08-2008, 09:08 AM

EDIT: Oh made a mistake.

MightyCuinn · 27-08-2008, 04:02 PM

Number of phalanges could be 7.. technically, the thumb is a phalange, so if she's missing three, that's 7 left.

LTRoscoe · 27-08-2008, 09:02 PM

I read there are a total of 14 phalanges per hand. 2 in the thumb and three in the other 4 fingers. So I tried 11 because she lost 3 and it is wrong, but then it clicked I think the question is asking how many total phalanges are left on her body. So to get that you would have to add 11 + 14 + the 28 in the feet for a total of 53. I can't check that until tonight so if anyone wants to try that....

LTRoscoe · 27-08-2008, 09:03 PM

Oh and on the subject of time since marker discovery in the first episode of the comic it starts of with "5 weeks ago" and it is right then when they discover the marker. I tried 5 weeks and it is wrong so maybe its 5 weeks + something.

LTRoscoe · 27-08-2008, 09:05 PM

Earlier yesterday you guys said "Altman be praised" was wrong and now its right? I thought it was Altman be praised but I didn't put it in after reading that. So what changed? Does it need to be in quotations or?

Johmpa2 · 27-08-2008, 10:22 PM

The correct answer to number 3 is "200 years". I also draw a blank at number 8 though.

jjimbobob · 27-08-2008, 11:09 PM

1. Corporation ID: Concordance Extraction Corporation or CEC
2. Ship ID: Ishimura
3. Marker contact time: 200 years
4. Planet crack subject: Aegis 7
5. Unitologist mantra: Altman be praised
6. Gauthier phalanges intact: ?
7. Dangerous tool: Line cutter
8. ORF encoded message: ?

The strange thing about 6 is the fact that I've been through every answer I can think of. Each hand has 14 phalanx bones per hand so 28 if you count both hands, but I think it's for just the one hand. I've tried 2, 5, and 19. 2 thinking it was just fingers(I count the thumb as a finger), 5 after looking into phalanx bones...there would be 5 left if she lost her index middle and ring fingers at the proximal phalanges but I guess I'm wrong. So I added the other hand for a total of 19 left intact, still wrong. So then I was thinking that if it's one hand, with a total of 14 phalanges with 3 severed fingers at the proximal phalanges, then she'd of only lost 3 leaving 11 intact...but even that's wrong? Maybe they didn't put enough thought into the questions or they set the answer wrong?

DrZeiss · 27-08-2008, 11:11 PM

phalanges...

The answer to #6 is not 53.

Anyone else have any luck with other numbers?

How did you try so many times? I thought it's only once per 24 hours.

Ancient Chinese secret, I'm using my friends accounts too, It's not that I'm interested in winning or anything, I just wanna get the answers right. Cept I'm out of tries for a while >_>

Jinra · 27-08-2008, 11:58 PM

Maybe #6 isnt asking for a number but rather the names of the phalanges intact on her injured hand?

ColOfNature · 28-08-2008, 02:36 AM

I wonder if ORF might not be Open Reading Frame, and the genes are the red marks around the edges of the medical reports. But I'm snookered if I can translate them. Then again, it's twenty to three in the morning and my brain's slowly shutting down... so maybe I'm reaching a bit on this one.

Padfoot240 · 28-08-2008, 03:13 AM

I tried "pinky, thumb" for #6. Didn't work.

Anyone have anyluck on the password protected files?

hmm that's interesting, I wonder if it's related, considering the comics with the DNA code from the marker. I always thought that ORF was Organ Replacement Form.

Vjeszczi · 28-08-2008, 03:48 AM

The answer to number 6 is 7.

What? no way...I'll have to try it. This'll take some thinking, I don't understand how 7 can be the answer

meincke · 28-08-2008, 08:40 AM

It makes good sense, the human hands has 10 of these phalanges bones, and she has lost 3 = 7

tjek it out, tells you about the phalanges:

Phalanx bones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

meincke · 28-08-2008, 08:51 AM

ORF must be something to do with Organ Replacement F____

but can't figure out F,

It come from the "Organ Replacement Lab"-computer.

Any idears, is it form, as someone wrote before this one.

meincke · 28-08-2008, 09:18 AM

1 is not CEC
5 is not Altman be praised
8 is really hard......

but 6 = 7, just tried it.

And 8 has something to do with the reports you can hear, where a doctor records his talks with the patients.

I thought it was "george save me", which you can hear in the end of the number two. but I now have 23 hours and 45 minuts till I can try again..

StickTheory · 28-08-2008, 10:46 AM

that damn orf code is annoying. i tried using those red marks represented by different numbers but nothing. anyone else notice how through each report the marks 'travel' around the page? def something there.

ColOfNature · 28-08-2008, 12:22 PM

Re my speculation above: looking at the red marks under magnification they look a little like scribbles of amputated fingers... coincidence? Anyway, using the 4 orientations (nail up, curved to right etc) as an amino acid base and running the resulting sequence through an ORF-to-protein translater just results in gibberish

Back to the drawing board. I'm still convinced the markings are important.

ColOfNature · 28-08-2008, 12:45 PM

And as for the answer to 6 being 7, there are 3 intact in the little finger, 1 intact in each of the 3 severed fingers floating in the jar and one more in the thumb - if you look closely, the distal phalanx is damaged. So, yeah...
