This is a fascinating game. It's called "Portal (for the game) Viral Marketing," and is really hard to crack if you don't know what you're looking for.

Go to: www.aperturescience.com

To get people started:

The first thing to type is LOGIN.
The second is trivial - it doesn't change anything.
The third MUST be PORTAL.
Then type DIR, APPLY and CONTINUE ---OR--- APPLY.

I'm unsure about the last one...

Oh yeah, the random long string of numbers/letters changes, so don't bother remembering it - it's irrelevant.

Have fun!

Not exactly my intention, but if you do get stuck, ask me personally in a post and i'll tell you the answer. But please try it first.

I went through the whole thing (excuse not to do homework) and got stuck at the 64 identification number part at question 50.
Aparently I just didn't understand the purpose of this.

don't get the game . . . finished the survey and needed my number . . . didn't have it . . . . game over.

felt slightly like neo though.

Also the number at the start changes random characters while it flashes.

LOL

I said, the number is irrelevant. Pay attention to the glowing numbers/letters to find the last answer.

Actually i'll just pop on now to check my facts.

Another thing - maths is important. Don't neglect it.

yep...the answer is definitely in the glowing/fading letters in the questionaire.

If you do solve it, I'll be so impressed I may be tempted to give you a karma point.

(*Childishly* yay!)

Um...I'm not sure.

Actually, it's a screenshot from a HL2 mod game called Portal, to be released by Steam.
