<Searge> it's your slow thinking, not my hints that make this a long process :p
<Searge> jk
<Searge> really impressed by the progress tbh
<Searge> I had to wait 11 weeks to see any progress for something that took a lot of time to prepare, so I'm fine if it takes you 11 days to solve ;)

2. what is my favorite number? what is my favorite game?
3. using google to find the groups was the right approach		1. see hint06 on "Hints" sheet.
2. a) favourite number: 42
b) favourite game: System Shock 2
3. correct way to get to zelda was by googling "4373 zrld" (instead of using hint0a)		1 -> (dead end)

http://ocean-labs.de/2.<Searge> ok, I'm impressed by the documentation, so here's a free bonus hint: find the ai image and analyze itRed or blue pill ?IRC decided blue pill to make it easier. Also Searge hinted at not going down the rabbit hole

http://ocean-labs.de/4.<Searge> 59 minutes left, at least you are making good progress, I wonder if I gave too many hintsDid we get all 3 hints from tweets with "it's dangerous to go alone, take this" yet? (http://ocean-labs.de/zelda)Yes! They are at cell F16

31
http://ocean-labs.de/shodan.bmphttp://ocean-labs.de/5.reference to south path<Searge> 48 minutes left and I have to wait 30 minutes before I can give another hint, this will be intense :)What's up with the "radaway" itzlipofutzli red herring?itzlipofutzli gave us a radaway to stop the mutations, so now we have no more hints at all. Searge told us not to listen to itzlipofutzli but we didn't listen to him
32
http://ocean-labs.de/xerxes.php<Searge> well, there is always the option to solve the puzzles without hints, I'd even consider that more fun ;)
33
http://ocean-labs.de/__%20___...<Searge> ok, screw the timing, it's only ~30 minutes and you won't figure it out anyway, so one more hint before I lean back and wait for the timer to run out on the poll
34
http://ocean-labs.de/4.How do we move around in the rabbit hole, now that we've fallen down?You wait until Searge gives us more hints to where to go!

ZIP contains interesting.txt with contents:@SeargeDP: The poll ended, a decision was made and #itzlipofutzli now continues inside the rabbit hole. Good luck, you'll need it.
