red thread

I took the test however I had a rather peculiar experience on the final question. I gave the answer I thought to be correct but it told me it was incorrect. I tried many permutations of the answer which were also incorrect. I then tried my first answer again and it was correct. I find that rather strange.

Unfortunately, I cannot direct link the path that got folks here, it's embedded in a tricky website with a weird aptitude test. I think it might be too dangerous to direct link because they can see sites that link to them.

We refer to it as "The Institute" though, if that helps.

Thanks for having me. It was a very tough path to thread, and I thought I was stuck many times in the tests. Thanks to whomever sent me that letter, I feel indebted to you. You changed my life.

Missed the test. Missed any links. Thought I found this thru a certain webring, but now I can't find any of the sites but this 1.

Honestly wasn't gonna post. Are the ppl who came without the test even supposed to be here? But I couldn't bring myself to delete the bookmark.

Can anyone link the test for the rest of us?

Wait, wasn't it on the first page when you open Netscape Navigator? That's how I got here. There was a link under "Exploring the Net", above "What's New"? I can't find it on my home page anymore, though...maybe it's just there after you first install it? Someone else might know more...

I followed the path, though it took several nights and multiple trips to the library to sort it all out. I can’t really explain it, but I couldn’t stop as each puzzle led me deeper into the world wide web. I am desperate for answers about what’s been going on. I may post what happened soon, but I’m just not sure if it’s safe.

I took the test. I don't even remember what the questions were (or how I found the test in the first place - maybe they're futzing with our memories somehow, whoever "they" is) but I DO remember the results. In fact, I can't forget them. Can't un-see them. It's like they're seared into the back of my eyelids. I don't have a clue what they mean, but now I'm just looking for signs of them everywhere. They've got to mean SOMETHING. I'm kind of with you guys on the being-led-here and the sorting ideas.

Hey, all! I don't know what to really make of all this. I was just doing that big "Institute" riddle game that comes with Netscape (oh my gosh, that was so difficult!), did a little text adventure (glad I didn't get eaten by a Grue!), and now I'm here?

I'm not entirely sure how I found this place to be honest. I wasn't entirely sure I actually had and thought perhaps it yet another one of the dreams that torment me night after night. I feel like whatever threads I've been following which ultimately led me here started some time ago. I've been thinking, perhaps it wasn't me that found this place, perhaps it found me.

I tried taking the four part test and completed one and two. But even though I got the correct answer, it did not take me to the third part. So I took the other path to get here.
