JW, I don't think that is correct, because I got in that group(Ganymede) , before I knew about the cheat. Score 76

Hm... maybe they randomly throw groups at us and there is no rhyme or reason behind it... with the way they run things, that wouldn't surprise me.

I havnt tried the cheat yet and my best score was something like 56 lol.....but then I only tried it twice

I did wonder if cheating was part of it, thinking outside the box so to speak.

Yeah! Thinking outside of Pandora's box is the cheaters who aren't in the Pandora group... I know, that doesn't make any sense, but I have to support team Pandora.... even if I have no idea what the hell the difference is between the groupings. I am a competitive guy, can't you tell?

Yes JW, I can tell, and you like to travel (surf) too, as do I.

So...at my progress it says after test number 2, the Pressurized Spatial Judgement Evaluation, group name: Pandora, so I am in the Pandora group??... Anyone else??

You're in good company.

Ganymede is not a cheat group!

I didn't cheat. I got 73 after a couple of goes and then left it alone. (Truth be told I was hungry and food was cooking.)

Anyway, I didn't cheat and I am in Ganymede. I suspect it's probably entirely random.

Are these the only two groups being assigned at this time?

Haha, AC, I was just being a jerk, I don't think that it has anything to do with anything and I wouldn't be surpised that it is random. I said earlier that I bet there is no reasoning behind the grouping and that I wouldn't doubt that it meant nothing. I am Pandora though, Nicked.

I think the scores though might be how you are placed from what I have seen here, scores of 70's puts you in Ganymede ,scores in 80's put you in Pandora.

To quote me, I think they do it this way. the ones' that have given their scores of in the 70's are in Ganymede, and scores in 80's are in Pandora.

I don't know which group Annie is in....but I would guess Pandora?

So Annie... Which group are you in ?

JWLost wrote:I am the only one not Ganymede? I'm in the Pandora Group! Perhaps I am special... or I'm not as good as you guys. It is hard to tell. I scored 80 and didn't cheat. I was wondering though, maybe they know when you cheat and that is part of the test?! Also, I too have 0 points... where do the points come in, I wonder?

I am on Pandora too my friend!!

It must be random. I got a crap first score and am in Pandora group.

SmokinMonster, Was your score below 80 ? If it was that blows my theory about placemants.

Test 1 high score: 84
Dharma points: 0 (duh)
Group: Pandora.

Going to sleep right now...

This causes the screen to flash and the counter resets to 100 BUT it stays at 100 until you complete the puzzle. The only points you lose are the original second(s) it takes for you to stop the timer!

They must have changed that... or maybe I don't know how to properly cheat. Harrumph.

[edit] It was my fault. Now my high score is 99%. Not that it matters, because I'm still in the Pandora group...

I've got 2 accounts on there. I think that the group placement is entirely based on the assessment test from the beginning. One of my accounts is Gadymede and the other is Pandora. Ganymede (also a greek mythology character) goes to those that answer a certain way, and Pandora goes to those that answer another. I tried to make my anwers as different as possible for my accounts.

The cheating is no doubt built in. The name of the test, PRESSURIZED SPATIAL, leads to the cheating tip, PRESS SPACE. Oddly enough, when you PRESS SPACE, you alter the TIME allowed to take the test. I think it's supposed to be a way to express that we will see anomolies in both SPACE and TIME.

I've gotten 10 Dharma Points for recommending a friend who took the test and signed up, so yeah, the leaderboard is basically a popularity contest and has nothing to do with the testing.

Thank you for putting that issue to rest, Dbutz!
