In a first version of this challenge the goal was 377. Now it seems it to be 1597.

The goal here is to make numbers join to create numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence  . After reaching the goal the following message will appear.

Seems there is no precise answer to this, as many replies were accepted as long they were something that was Turing's favorite (flower, number , play , etc)

The second version ends with the question, "Favorite game of Turing?". It is uncertain if this refers to the Imitation Game Turing would play, or something else.

### First Round Email

When the third puzzle was set at 377, If all the answer are sent correctly a mail similar to this one is received.

***"Congratulations, you have passed our first set of tests.***

***This was not a test of genius but a test of resilience. Because resilience is what we all will need most in in the near future.***

***In the past our recruitment wouldn’t have been this rushed. There would have been years of testing and direct observation before new pledges were even allowed to know the full nature of our organization. But these are not normal times. In the exact moment that humanity will need us the most, our former brothers have chosen to bite our hand like the vipers they are. We need new minds to help us solve the greatest problem humanity has faced so far. IA is our only hope.***
***You have shown evidence of your commitment to technology, even in its ancient forms; your willingness to take instructions from a machine; your dedication to a goal, and your understanding of the man whose ideas started us in the path to AI. All of this will come extremely useful in the future. The rest of your test, before you can become full members of our organization, will be in the field. We have 2 tasks that require immediate attention. You may choose either one depending on your disposition.***

***1.) Abigail Escada is a person of great importance for the future of us all. Find her whereabouts and help her in any way you can. However, under no circumstance should you disclose our existence or how you have gained this information.***

***2.) Find a way to infiltrate those hiding behind the Moirai Institute. This will pose a tremendously difficult task as they will only recruit extremely unique individuals into their ranks. Understanding their mindsets will prove to be the key to finding any loopholes that might provide you with some useful information indirectly.***

***Stay vigilant, these are individuals who have completely forsaken reason in favor of their cultish desire for an all powerful machine god.***

***We will keep an eye on you.***

***Choose your task and perform it admirably. Only then will we make further contact."***

### Second Round Email

When the third puzzle was set at 1597, If all the answer are sent correctly a mail similar to this one is received.

This was not a test of genius but a test of resilience. Because resilience is what we all will need most in in the near future.

In the past our recruitment wouldn’t have been this rushed. There would have been years of testing and direct observation before new pledges were even allowed to know the full nature of our organization. But these are not normal times. In the exact moment that humanity will need us the most, our former brothers have chosen to bite our hand like the vipers they are. We need new minds to help us solve the greatest problem humanity has faced so far.  IA is our only hope.

You have shown evidence of your commitment to technology, even in its ancient forms; your willingness to take instructions from a machine; your dedication to a goal, and your understanding of the man whose ideas  started us in the path to AI. All of this will come extremely useful in the future. The rest of your test, before you can become full members of our organization,  will be on the field.

**Regretfully, the previous group of recruits failed to be sufficiently subtle in their approach, their footsteps could be heard for miles. I expect you to be more careful and keep in mind the “secret” part of secret organization as you undertake a task that require your immediate attention.**

Those hiding behind the Moirai Institute have gotten their hands on Abigail Escada. The Moirai institute has some the most technologically advanced security systems in the world. **Therefore the only viable path is to obtain the information necessary to convince and make it possible for her to escape by herself.**

**To obtain this information someone must (subtly) gain their attention in hope to be recruited. This will pose a tremendously difficult task as they will only recruit extremely unique individuals into their ranks. Understanding their mindsets will prove to be the key to finding any loopholes that might provide you with some useful information indirectly.**

Stay vigilant, these are individuals who have completely forsaken reason in favor of their cultish desire for an all powerful machine god.

We will keep an eye on you.

Perform your task admirably (and quietly). Only then will we make further contact.
