Test #1 - Part A

There are three clues given. One is the most obvious, the picture. The second is 'Melinda'. And the third is the '&' in the 'Your Answer'.

If you you know about Microsoft, you've probably all ready guessed it's Bill Gates as a child. And 'B-I-L-L' does fit the length of the first part of the Answer 'Xs'.

Using the second clue, 'Melinda', you'll see her name fits nicely into the 'Xs' after the '&'.

At this point 'Bill & Melinda' should immediately trigger 'Gates Foundation'.

Test #1 - Part B

With just a picture, presumably a date, and a two word answer. There's not much else to use for clues.

To at least figure out the place in the picture Google 'Bryant Park'. You'll see that the picture is of an area of New York City.

So, what happened in 1913 that played a hand in New York City. This is an extremely vague test and after cheating you get 'Rockefeller Foundation', which when you pair with 1913. You find that was the year it was founded. And it's location is shown in the map image.

Test #2 - Part A

You're given two clues, 'MON' and a chart. If the chart looks familiar it should. It's a Stock Chart. A simple Stock Ticker search yields 'Monsanto Company'.

Test #2 - Part B

Since this is a link from the first part. Go to the US Patent website (http://www.uspto.gov/), and look up the plant name (CIDZ0007). The key to solving this is the fact that the second field in 'Your Answer' will be four letters long. Once you eliminate all the information that has more than four letters you're left with 'Syngenta Crop'.

Test #3

Remember how it said you'd probably need to work together to solve this Mission?

Use the code (five characters) that now appears in the bottom TV Screen row. In conjunction with the codes listed after clicking on 'Encoded Message'. And make a spreadsheet of all the codes. If you sort it, you'll see what appears to be letters and numbers, numbering five, that appear. This is the code to answer the question. If you don't feel like typing all that. It's 'u83Di'.

I'm coming up with a 30.00, repeating of course, percentage of survival.
