It's been completed.

4chan flew through the last several. Amazing work.

I actually want to see a timeline of how long it took for each question. The 4chan posts all have timestamps for when the answers were posted so this shouldn't be too hard to do.

There are archives of the older threads as well.

Wow that Q39 was amazing. 4chan is incredible.

Summary: Base 64 encoded gzip, Expanded gives a set of directions (Left Down Right Up) Drawn gives 5138 Flipped upside down gives 2138 2=B 1=A 3=C 8=H, BACH Answer: johann sebastian

That's so contrived, and they got it so quickly. And they got #40 even quicker.

The last few were pretty easy. We were on beat for the cyphers used, and the last one just happened to be picked up by a music nerd.

I watched it live during the last ten or so. Each question was solved within about fifteen minutes. I tried to contribute to the process, but every time I found a clue, someone beat me to posting about it by a minute or so. The power of collective intelligence is amazing.

I can see the pattern: count successive powers of 2, dropping the digit that would occurred. So the next part of the sequence is 123456789012345678901234567891... etc.

But I have no idea how much of the sequence they want me to type in. Very frustrating!
