(Fan created content. Distinct from hoaxes and parodies)
EnterTheCode.com was created by Wirah Ltd (web design uk) as a fan site simulating the Countdown Timer found in Station 3 - The Swan.
The objective of the website is identical to that on the show... Push the Button. The code 4 8 15 16 23 42 can only be entered if the countdown has reached 4 minutes.
The timer is connected to a global database meaning the numbers that display on the timer will be the same for every user and when the button is pressed the counter refreshes for everyone.
The site timer was started on 15th May, 2006 and has yet to reach zero. The website is effectively a test of faith to see if the visitors will push the button or let the counter run down to zero.
As of May 20th 2006 users are now required to register before entering the code. The functionality to see how many times the counter was reset, and by who was also added aswell as the coundtown timer now 'self-refreshing' (using Ajax technology) so users never need to reload the actual window.
As long as someone on the internet types the code into the prompt then the timer will reset to 108 minutes and the experiment can continue.
