[The soft tunes of a melody start before any image shows on the black screen. A straight line in the middle of the screen turns into what looks like a pulse indicator, a clear, continuous beep in the background that suddenly turns into a series of beeps as the line spikes up]

[Lights flick]

[After a few nanoseconds, the image flashes into showing an oval desk, fancy looking and polished. The angles change, various instances showing it and the comfortable chairs behind it. The letters "S" "S" "N" are engraved on the front part of it, in succession]

[Lights flick]

[The image darkens once more and the tunes in the background intensify. The next flashes, quickly pop on and off. Barely in focus, an S shaped desk with one chair on the left side and a few more on the right can be seen. A flash as the image zooms on a data terminal on the table, oriented towards the single chair on the left. A "SSN" mark is engraved on the back of the holoscreen]

[Lights flick]

[The music takes a background seat, lowering in intensity as the image fades to black, showing a smile, red lips delicately meeting each other as they start to speak, saying "We don't want you to guess the exact words but we do want you to guess what SSN is, as a whole. The contest is ongoing"]

[Lights flick]

[The image once again fades to black as a series of quick images follow. A gift box wrapped with a red ribbon, the word "Prize" written on it, a fast zoom over to a microphone on a desk, a female's hand, red nails tapping onto a piece of paper with blurred writing, a tall building with large formglass windows]

[Lights flick]

[Through all the series of images the voice speaks again, a honey-coated tone saying "Hurry. You don't have much time left. What is SSN? Tell us and be the winner". The image zooms back onto the neatly wrapped gift, this time hanging from the ceiling.]

[Lights flick]

[Flicking a few times, the image shows quick angles of the box, in one instance overlapping with a microphone hanging the same way from the ceiling, then fades to black along with the background music]
