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

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.
