Hey eno, Solving the puzzle is actually a way for you to track your progress for this mission. You might even download and print the cryptogram in order to fill in the letters you received after answering each question. Like this, you can make sure you answered all 20 questions, which is the only requirement to be entered…

hetadlock​, fill-in-the-blanks questions will let you answer multiple times until you guess the correct answer. If you managed to submit your answer and thwack ID, you should be good to go. No need to answer it correctly more than once.

I can tell you for sure that once we have the names, I will contact each of them to give the good news. Chances are we'll have more than a few winners since 400+ people voted in the first round, so I'm not going to mention each of them in that table as I did in January, but I will definitely post an update in this thread.

We have a winner for week 3. The Sphero BB-8 App-Enabled Droid goes to ... bpfrombp‌. Congrats! I'll be announcing shortly the grand prize winner. Stay tuned.

I am going to post an announcement here and on the mission main blog once those emails go out. 

Hi jwilson2013, Thanks a lot for the heads up. It was indeed a typo. The correct date is actually 9th of July. So, go ahead and share the text for an extra chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card. Maria

smoked_angus​, the right answer for today's question is set up correctly. Make sure you carefully read the question since there are several time frames mentioned in the video, and not all of them are what the question is asking for.

Backup analysis is useful thanks! 

The winner for day 4 is ... kbthwack‌. Congrats! Wishing you all a happy Friday!

I like it. the charts look like they are global. Please have developers add filtering capability on all charts so they can be used at the group, custom property, node and interface levels.

Yes, we and our Internet must be shielded from solar flares, emp bursts, and the zombie apocalypse.

irishjd​, that's interesting to know. Thanks for your feedback!

Skinny Puppy t-shirt beats any kind of cape!

Buglovin, That is a very common issue. NIC cards and the differences between a 'local host network' and GNS3's ability to contain a local network inside the topology is one of the most confusing things to master. There has been improvements on that front. When a user drags a vm onto the topology, they can right click and…

Hey @"danielleh" I've created a new account because I still can't get in on my old one (tonedepear) after trying to reset password lots of times since day 1 and I've sent a couple of emails to admin email address now to no avail. Can someone have a look please? Thank you! Tony

I dont see it in my portal. How do I get a copy of the RC?

Drum roll, please, for the winners of the last week of our July mission: The Amazon gift cards go to darlonjeel and jaimeaux! And the Bonus goes to bigmclargehuge! Congratulations to all of you and thanks again for joining this mission. Stay tuned for more fun to come!

happy new year 2016.........

This month's questions are HORRIBLE!!! They need to fire the 2nd graders they hired to cobble together these questions and hints. Q - "If it takes a mosquito 17 seconds to drill a hole through a watermelon, how many pancakes does it take to shingle a dog house?" A - a. 5 b. 14 c. 58 d. 37 INCORRECT!!! The correct answer we…

Maintaining the NMS is definitely not my full time job, but just one of the many things I do in my 'spare' time. Being the local SCP, most of the heavy lifting falls to me, but I've been working on getting the other stakeholders on board with adding their own devices, and setting up the metrics they want to monitor. 

Unfortunately the way it works with routing companies is like this. They develop the product first and push to the market aggressively....they have different teams for NMS development. The NMS development teams are involved in the final stages only. The companies would not wait for the NMS to be developed enough to the…

You are fast. Good luck!

Not to worry, mgotelaere, all the questions will remain open until the end of the mission, so even if you missed the chance to win the prizes, you can still get some points for the previous weeks.

I could write a book with all these stories. "Thwack in SysAdminland". $_$

ZibaK, give it another try now.

Special announcement 1: BACON! Ok, now that I have your attention, I just want to let everyone know that the email notifying the round 1 winners has just been sent. Make sure you check the inbox of the email associated with your thwack account. If you have any questions, just send me a DM.

ify_ice‌, you are only missing the second task: TASK 2 - WHERE CAN YOU FIND CONTENT TO EXTEND YOUR PRODUCT'S CAPABILITIES? For this task, navigate to the Content Exchange. To get there, you first need to got to the Product Forums button in the top navigation bar, choose the product that you're familiar with, and then feel…
