I picked a number of entries over time (usually, people, who solve my puzzles or post ones), with this one the first three solvers were whitelisted.

Thanks for replying, I best get to solving then as Chaos is a game I'd like to add to my point-and-click pile!

Congrats on your work, and good luck with the next steps. Achievement Unlocked indeed!

Not entirely. Submitted meand it has to undergo examination first. It will be unlocked yet in, like, 2-4 months (but now it's mostly not up to me already).

I love science, congratulations on completing your thesis! :) and I'm sure there's gainful employment in your future :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep, that was an adventure :)
What's ahead is more like "the dreadful uncertainty".

Can you tell us which format are we supposed to use for the answers in the puzzle? I mean some of those guys are known for multiple things, are we supposed to mention all of them? But then the problem is in what order. Are the answers one word or whole sentence or even multiple sentences.
I already mentioned all things the first guy is known for and none of the answers were correct so I'm starting to get frustrated.

The answers are taken from one particular website (it's one of the hints as well as the format).
Comment has been collapsed.
That doesn't help one bit. Do you know how many websites there are that talk about those people?
And again I don't know how I need to format my answers and should I list everything they're known for or not. Can you give us an example of how the answers should look like?
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks for that. That was exactly the hint I needed, apparently.

This one cut some 40-50 minutes from that hour (or I do not know, I have not seen the ITH hint(s) yet)

Cool!!! i still got time for mine... should really start writing soon.
got stuck on the first Q. found the person, but man he did a lot (like all of them back than ;))
is it possible to have clues later on?
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not hard, it's unfair because he doesn't tell us how to format answers.

What is the password to blue heart gate?

Solving the puzzle, but it's too late. The 3 promised places have been taken.

Welcome back! And congrats for finishing your mysterious PhD thesis! Now you can joining us into solving puzzles again :D

Bump for not solved.
presently unemployed myself, but it should not last too long hopefully.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump for also having solved it, and fun with a puzzle about things that I have absolutely no knowledge of, so thanks for that :)
And yeah, I know all too well how it is to be unemployed so hope you'll get a decent job that you enjoy soon!

Congrats on your PhD! Thats a big step. (I'm working on mine right now, though I'm not in the natural sciences. That may mean I have even more unemployment in my future than you. :) ) I wish you all the best on the job market.

Well, one of my friends, who submitted a bit earlier is now in a state, where he is ready to kill anyone, who says "there are jobs in STEM", so I wouldn't be that sure.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, my father teaches in a STEM discipline, and I hear the same thing from him. It makes me wonder what politicians are on about when they talk about how we need to boost our numbers of STEM graduates. (I mean, I understand the value of having lots of people educated in the sciences around. But if we greatly increase the number where will they find work?)
I take it you're in physics? Where would you like to end up?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yep. The hypocricy... %)
Physics it is. Well, it's alwas a choice between academia and industry. As for me, I just like doing research, which is possible in both.

I am tempted to ask again "why don't you eneter the whitelist giveaway". Looks like you still have the game on your whishlist.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bump for a nice ride! Congratulations on your thesis, it's a great achievement. Hope you get a job soon :D

Congratulations on finishing your PhD thesis, although it will not help you at all for getting a job at McDonalds.
Thank you for the train and the puzzle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ha-Ha! I like the amount of rage you generated and then finally solved the thing.
Pretty much my reaction to encountering a puzzle.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well considering how many people found it easy to solve the puzzle I assume that they got the website you used among the first results with google unlike me (since google doesn't show the same results to everyone or at least not always in the same order).
I can't really blame you for that. But it was rather frustrating having to go through all those websites until I finally found the one you used.
Comment has been collapsed.
So, you didn't have to wait for the hints in the puzzle? I think the hint in the puzzle is more precise, than the one I gave in the thread.
Comment has been collapsed.
agreed on the different Google results, I only got German websites and google books... found the site now, though :3
Comment has been collapsed.
Also have to agree. Not everyone is from same country. These days google shows search results according to what data they have of the person. Location is one part that affects your results. So for some this could be very tough one to find.

So, I've been mostly away from SG for the last couple of weeks (and away from other sorts of active socializing for, like, 6 months), but I have finally submitted my PhD thesis. This means, I'm entering a wonderful world of professional science read: unemployment.
This means I'll likely have hard times making a lot of giveaways, and as far as I'm already poor here is my poor person train.
First: poop games (1+)
Second: some fine, but bundled stuff (2+)
Then: puzzle (science-related)
After puzzle: AAA non-bundle still on my wishlist (no level restriction)
Bonus: something for the blue heart people.
Also, comment in the AAA giveaway if you are not on the whitelist. I'll add, say, 3 first solvers who are not yet on the whitelist.UPDATE: 3 users have solved the puzzle. All added to the whitelist.
Commenting not obligatory unless you have something funny to say.
Ha-ha, uneployment, ha-ha!
All gifts are going to be keys sent through SG.
Countdown
I'm probably going to be travelling, when the GAs end, so expect 1-3 days delay
