At the very end:

> Tell me what you think about it by sending me a tweet.

ugh, really?

Other than that, quite cool, though the first question was needlessly oblique and I stopped playing right there the first go around.

Yup, really - at this point it's not EEM talking anymore, it's me, the dev, a human being, who primarily engages with other human beings online for gamedev feedback via Twitter. It's not an HN stunt :)

I loved that question, it helps you to get into the mood of the game.

Exactly. And if you've been paying attention since the start of the game, instead of treating it like a codeacademy or similar programming challenge type, you've already picked up on a few clues that.. the government (and its minions, including EEM) don't really hold you in high esteem.

What's the answer? I'm stuck.

If you're referring to the "what is more useless" question, the answer is "nothing"

Thanks. I couldn't figure it out for over 5 hours.

'Null' also works
