That is against the spirit of the games. Seriously.

Physics is difficult for 99% of the world's population because they don't understand it. The other 1% know too much.

Good job officers! All of you managed to post within the time limit! To ensure your further participation in the test, rule #16 has now come into existence:
16. Officers must make a protect at least once every two clues. Officers failing this requirement will be replaced.

Besides to actually even have a small chance of finding out who the sassy is you'd have to constantly monitor "Who Is Online" between the time of the end of the game and new game, which could be and hour or several days

The website listed in zyzzyva's profile used to be his faxonly blog.

I also think the zyzzyva connection is quite strong - someone should protect him too.

As I was placing turrets in anticipation of the more enthusiastic test takers, I felt and heard a crunch underneath my foot. I took off my shoe and examined it. Some sort of insect had managed to get here, of all places. I took out my field guide and discovered it to be of the genus Zyzzyva. How strange.
Even when the solution is delivered to them on a silver platter by a soon-to-be-corpse, the officers still failed to protect the correct person. However, I will take off only half of an accusation, since zyzzyva98 removed his website from his profile during the clue.
You have forty-eight hours to solve the clue.

It sounds like the sassy is targeting either TheGenius or me, since we were the ones who advised the protection of zyzzyva. TheGenius is more likely since he was the first to point out the fax connection.
