   I’m still trying to figure the :k: link out; it intrigues me, however, and I’ll get to the bottom of this! Thanks for posting conceptual art-type stuff like this, Leo. That Tron20 link is fascinating, too.

   To clarify: Anyone wandering into this blog, my suggestion is to visit the Apple MPEG-4 page before reading the posts here! Because everyone loves a good mystery, and nobody likes when a mystery is spoiled (which is always a possibility in public forums like this)!

   Leo,

   Thanks for making me and RyanR famous for 15 minutes By the way , if you dont like those 2 that were givin , there are others as well Like http://www.secondstate.com/ , http://abc.abcnews.go.com/primetime/push/how_to_play.html , http://abc.abcnews.go.com/primetime/alias/adv.html ,http://www.timehunt.com/ .

   all these were from http://www.unfiction.com site I just joined They also have alot of tools to use for these type games . Also try http://www.cloudmakers.org/othergames/

   Cloudmakers started it all when the A.I. craze was there In fact they have the whole A.I. clues archived I believe and its huge My cousin broke into router 2 tonight on the tron server and saw all these files , but forgot the darn password and login name , so I cant see what she saw now shes typing up all her keywords and emailing me them in hopes we can re-crack it

   Thanks Leo for putting these type games back out to the publics eye , as they pretty much get overlooked with all the negative comments about internet sites .

    I too have a special place in my heart for such cleaver advertisments….but not enough to make my plunk down the cash for a BMW.

    Besides, you can’t attach a plow to it!

    The Apple page is actually clue 2 in the whole mystery. Go to http://209.46.98.251 to start at the beginning.

    There are a few places around that deal with alternate reality games and such. Aside from the aforementioned, there’s also http://www.unfiction.com and http://www.argn.com

    Unfiction has an active forum, while ARGN’s is closed but available as an archive.

    By the way, the person who wrote the French has terrible grammer. He is obviously English speaking. He also has an incomplete sentance on his info page. (just frustrated I can’t figure out the keys and venting it out, lol)

    The worms seem to be playing CHESS, not pinochle…

    Thanks for getting me completely hooked, Leo, only to find out that only U.S. residents are eligible to “win”.

    Gret fun, though – it was the most fun I’ve had surfing the web since I used to win $20 at the local record store for getting their music quizzes right!

    I don’t think this advertisment is a good use of time. I really think it would have been better if you didn’t have to watch the bmwfilm, call long distance, and send stuff in the mail. If it was all on the internet i would have kept interest. And for all you suckers who think your cool for “figuring it out”. You are not smart, just slaves of another advertisement. lol.

    Rumor has it, the winner of the car was indeed a “Collective Detective”. After Collective Detectives got on the case, we had all 6 keys in record time. And of course we share our answers. I was the 34th person to enter the contest but unfortunately I didn’t win the car. Currently the “big games” we’re into are: http://www.timehunt.com , http://www.chasingthewish.com , and we’ve even got a forum dedicated to solving the puzzling book, “Mysterious Stranger” which offers a cool treasure hunt.

    Um, a little correction there, Misha. The BMW winners were not members of any online community whatsoever. I was there. I talked to them. Check out http://www.unfiction.com/compendi/features/uncap.html for the firsthand story.
