Serrious Question: I'm not terribly familiar with this research project, why was the site for it selected in the antarctic? What advantages does that location in particular provide vs other locations?

Silly Question: Have you considered getting Icecube (rapper) and Neutrino (british mc) to do any publicity for your work?

So I'm a member of TOOOL And I've found that often these escape the room things have very simple locks on otherwise complex puzzles. As some one who enjoys the challenge of trying to pick the lock faster than my friends can solve the puzzle I'd like to know two things.

  1. Why don't these rooms use even moderately more secure locks (that aren't really that much more expensive)

  2. Why do so many of these room escape places frown on lock picking to resolve puzzles? I feel like its still a valid solution.

I guess that's the fundamental difference is I don't see it as cheating. And its a timed event (at least the one's I've been to) you should be trying to get out as fast as possible...

But I see what you mean about possible damage to locks.
