As a student at the University of Melbourne Julian Assange in 2004 organised a quest similar to the games of the mysterious community Cicada 3301 (https://wondrousnet.blogspot.com/2022/11/cicada-3301-solution.html).There are two, among many, puzzles made by Julian Assange for that quest: Sleuth (https://wondrousnet.blogspot.com/2023/05/solution-to-puzzle-sleuth.html) and Cacophony (https://wondrousnet.blogspot.com/2025/04/solution-to-puzzle-cacophony.html).
I'd like to hear Arc's comment on this. He knows the inner workings of 3301 right?

>>16939373Maybe 110 isn't high enough? In the actual game there were three hints released day by day. They gave additional information, but reduced overall reward in points of the puzzle: https://www.melbunimathsstats.org/_files/ugd/28c6de_8f6c571e15454c63aa5b44bc1356f235.pdf , https://www.melbunimathsstats.org/_files/ugd/28c6de_e3b29612b30c4aaba76a4f3e33defcff.pdf .
