Silly test’s, too clicking on pictures to find hidden objects. I will take how Einstein’s theory of time relates to the show, or how the Hiros could relate any day to controlling an unmanned sub to find 815. But to each his own.

Thumbs up

There is another thread in the MF. My Main observations so far have been the calender on the upper left that has clickable dates, but so far clicking dates doesn't do anything.

University established in 2004? Year of 815 crash I guess...

Start date Sept 22 hmmmmmm

I have sent an enrollment request in the drop down Navigator thingy, but still no confirmation email as yet.

Someone in the other thread mentioned calling a phone number(818 824 6300) in the second picture (shown on Dark UFO) But when you call it reveals the name of a professor(Adam Nussdorf), who is on sabbatical until September 22 2009, no voicemail yet...

Finally, while this is more of a meta reality experience as someone said in the MF, it does seem directly promotional of the release of the Blu Ray set. I can't believe that TPTB would exclude anyone who hasn't upgraded to blu ray yet, but doggone if those things haven't been selling in this lousy economy, so it makes sense...

I don't know what you mean by "Hiros" but as for "droving" [diving? delving?] into the background of Lost, isn't that what LP is all about? And nobody here tries to sell you merchandise.

Again, I and my compatriots are currently excluded from what seems more like a very commercial marketing campaign than a compelling (global!) ARG, so it's a little hard to get enthusiastic. I really think it's just an interactive feature of ABC's website, not an ARG. An ARG wouldn't be pushing baseball caps and Blu-rays.

Sorry for the sarcasm, I'm just not on board with this. Also I'm not trying to make fun of your language, I just don't know what you mean by Hiros and droving. Doesn't droving involve herding sheep or cattle across vast tracts of bushland?

Well, I'm not sold on this whole thing yet either. It would be great to have the whole ARG crew back together. It was how I got started on LP. Maybe they'll bring Hans out of retirement! I miss that stern bastard.

When you hit the star button during the Nussdorf voicemail, it asks for a password. Somebody crack this.

Try putting in the Numbers?

"Pick up LOST: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON on Blu-rayTM Hi-Def"

Yeah...I don't think so.

I've tried several number combinations, but its not clear how many digits this password even is. I feel like the answer would lie somewhere in the LOST University site, but there's no professor page for a Nussdorf for any class.

Has anyone tried to run "Adam Nussdorf" through an Anagram Generator?

In the video, it shows a sample schedule of a student named 'Justin Barber'. I wonder if he may be someone to pay attention to. Also, on the card with the Prof. Nussdorf's number a second phone number is scratched out.
