Down the Rabbit Hole

Event's Structure

Dates & Duration

  • Start : 15th of January 2017 00:00 GMT+1.
  • End : 27th of February 2017 00.00 GMT+1.

Puzzles

  1. Puzzles will be divided in two parts :
    • The first macro part will be a Group Puzzle. Here we allow, and strongly encourage, to share ideas, reasoning, and even the method to solve a puzzle. However we will ask to not reveal any link to any stage of this event nor any answer.
    • The second part will be an Individual Puzzle. Here we will not allow any kind of sharing, you will be alone in solving this part. The reason for this is that everyone will have fun with the first part, but we also want to reward who will be dedicated and will persevere trough to end for their efforts.
  2. You will find some checkpoints, those will help us keep track of the progression of the puzzle and will prevent someone sneaking ahead without solving previous steps.
  3. Difficulty will vary. We will start with something easy and gradually make things harder.

Giveaways

  1. Giveaways will also be split in two parts:
    • Group Puzzle : These giveaways are allowed to have protection set by the creator, such as: sgtools rules, level restriction, denied access due to blacklist ecc. Every giveaway will be invite only and will not be shared in any way with whitelist and groups.
    • Individual Puzzle : These giveaways will have no restriction, but if needed will be put behind sgtools filter with no rules to allow us to see who joined and when he did so.
  2. Giveaways will start on the 28th of Jenuary 2017 00:00 GMT+1 and will end 30 days later.

Notes

  1. Sharing answer and/or links to Puzzles, part of Puzzles and/or Giveaways will result in a report to SG Support, your addition to our Blacklist and you will be ineligible to win any of the Giveaways created for the event.
  2. We kindly ask you not to share the length of the Event nor the length of any segment and/or part of Down the Rabbit Hole.
  3. Everything in the event will be important, so don't overlook anything.
  4. Refrain from posting information of everything that has nothing to do with the corresponding section of the event in the "Discussions Giveaways":

Hints

  1. Since nowadays the cool kids use a "Buy the Hints" system we're going to do the same. Every class of Puzzles will have a specific cost :
    • Entrance Puzzle hints will cost 10p each.
    • First Year Puzzles hints will cost 25p each .
    • Second Year Puzzles hints will cost 50p each.
    • Third Year Puzzles hints will cost 100p each.
    • Individual Puzzles hints will cost 150p each.
    • Additional Note : You'll understand the Year division by participating in the event.
    • Additional Note : Once unlocked the Hint/s will be visible by anyone who reaches the stage in which they are unlocked, not just by the Giveaway Creators that contributed to unlock the Hint/s.
  2. Giveaways created trough this system will be placed on the main Page and will be open for everyone who meets the creator's requirements, if there are any.
  3. If you wish to create a Giveaway for the hint the mandatory end is before the 21th of February 00:00 GMT+1 so that any Fake Giveaway created to exploit this system will be spotted before we send most of the Keys.
    • You can set the starting date and the duration freely as long as you respect the limitation on the ending date.
    • If given a valid reason, and if this is not abused, we may, or may not, grant the possibility to delete a giveaway created for an Hint only before its end, however if the giveaway is deleted we will subtract its value from the respective threshold and if delete any Hint that would return to being locked until it's unlocked again.
  4. Points refer to the how many points you would spend to enter a Giveaway.

We hope that you all will have a good time and enjoy this event.

Thanks for reading and for joining us in "Down the Rabbit Hole".


This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

~ Which one will you take ? ~
Red Pill On this first stage you will have to share more than you think. A lone solver won't even budge the door.What you need here is an army to breach the entrance! Red Pill

096 should be "8"

Comment has been collapsed.

But it could also be "a", if we count Franco-Prussian as two words.
I also think "8" should be correct, but I added this for completion, if we get stuck later.

I see same situation in other ticket, and it would be the only option to get character.
also that is the reason why i wrote "should be" :)

humpf. Brute forcing the last 2 characters (0-9, a-f) of C with hash Killer / MD5 decrypter does not bring me any result.

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Hah, I've done the same already ;) Same site. Was going through the 4K+ possibilities for Section B with 3 left when Section C dropped to 2 left so quickly changed to that.

Worse case scenario, a ticket has been decoded wrong. :O

7 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Was doing exactly the same also on section B before C showed more promising. Did 0 & 1 on the first missing character of B.

7 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

I've done over half. 0-9 done already.

Oh crap, just noticed I had something wrong in the code, so I'm back to nothing. :P

Guys and gals, I have bad news. I tried bruteforcing Section C twice and also tried replacing the last character with an "a", because of this. The code didn't decode properly. That means we've most likely made a mistake when interpreting the correct character.

Oh yeah, Section A is done.

I think that 87 is "1", not "2"

but it is "1", at least in my records

7 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

It was a "2" in mine though. Regardless, even with "1", Section C still doesn't decode properly, so there has to be another mistake.

it's also a "2" here

last character can't be mistake, because of that, I think :)

You're right, I just hadn't decoded that many, so I didn't have a point of reference.

Looked at every ticket in section C.
Row and sections used with the GA are all ok for me.
Need to verify all the barcode to confirm all GA linked are OK now
