Exciting times indeed!

Greetings Explorers! 
I am taking a break from drafting an important email to all of you.  If you haven't already submitted your solution to the dilemma posted on 12/22, please do so.  This was, of course, a test.  None of our highly trained field explorers would ever put themselves into such a predicament. To try and carry a Thermal Redactor and 2 tempspheres up a rope would be folly!
If you did not get the solution exactly correct, fear not. You did receive partial credit and there will be plenty of other ways to earn favor with the Janus Exploration Group. Remember, the winner will be awarded with great riches, as well as the title of Master Explorer!
I thought I would share with you how many explorers thus far are vying for the coveted Master Explorer title and also share how many people we have of each eye color.

Blue - 9
Brown - 7
Hazel -5
Gray - 3
Green - 3
Total - 27

There are still 11 participants that haven't turned in a response to the 12/22 post.  Late answers still earn some favor, however, not as much as timely responses will.  We have also decided to keep enrollment open for now until we reach the maximum number of participants.  If you know of anyone that might be a great fit for the Janus Exploration Group, please direct their attention to us.

Best wishes,
Archibald
