Beta Key Contest


I have an extra beta key that I don't need. I've decided I'm going to create a competition to decide who is worthy of receiving my beta key. The rules are simple. I have placed a sheet of paper with a code written on it in a chest. I have hidden the chest at the coordinates below. The first person to post the code into this thread is the winner.

Coordinates:
Latitude, Longitude:
N24 26 48, W130 14 16

Hints:

1) The chest is made of wood and is painted a pale blue.
2) Bring diving gear.

If nobody completes this challenge by Saturday 12:01am in TL time then the contest is void.

How did you get a chest to sink:

A: At all if all that's in it is a piece of paper
B: Directly down from where you dropped it

No no, something doesn't add up here. There must be rocks and some kind of location device in there too.

This is definitely a hoax. Why would you paint the chest a sickeningly bright pale blue that stands out among the surrounding water and make it so easy to find? You probably have TL friends stationed near the chest location already, and with your deliberate attempt to cheat by making the chest gleam in the deep water only compromises the legitimacy of your lame unfair contest.

Dude i think that you really need to get off your basement and start to travel.


So I just got in the plane at the last minute, it will take me 12 hours to get there.

Are you kidding me? Do you seriously expect us to dive down hundreds of kilometers from the nearest coast just to get a beta key? You're nuts.

Solution: go get the chest, open it, find the piece of paper, and write the word into this thread.

Is the code not just the latitude and the longitude? i mean the dite is the blue box and that means those numbers are the code? So my answer is:

N24 26 48, W130 14 16
Why is there a command centre above my head?

Yo WTF is this bullshit. There is one fucking random word in the chest and we either:

A. Actually buy a fucking plane ticket and diving gear, dive down to get that piece of shit which may not even be there. Which in that case we waste thousands of dollars. or,

B. Guess one random ass world in the English language which hase over 9000 million words, not including made up ones like bicanic and bootylicious.

WTF seriously.

You have one extra key and pretend like you are trying to help out the community, but instead you are wasting everybody's precious time. I hope you can sleep at night. I hope you get run over by a bus when you step out of the house.

Fuck you.

If I saw you in real life I would probably try to kick your ass if you are shorter than 5'7 and not very muscular, which I'm pretty sure you are not.

Did I say fuck you already, if I didn't , fuck you.

WTF I got there and all there was in the chest was a soaking piece of paper. I managed to blowdry it and crapped some iodine solution to imprint the words onto another sheet. So here goes nothing. Is the word "pineapple". I hope this is right. I spent all of my life savings trying to get there.
