Very cool. Can anyone confirm that getting a 500 from nginx when trying to go to the forums for step 2 isn't part of the puzzle?

Correct, getting 500 errors from the server is not part of the puzzle.

What about getting 500's from the blog?

Whew. That was exhilarating. And damn OS X Preview and Color Meter for not showing the right colors. (I was too late for any of the prizes but I’m very happy about the 1GB. Oh, and the scavenger hunt itself was also fun and cleverly designed.)

Officially giving up. Level 21 seems to be buggy - I've shared the folder multiple times with dropquest@dropbox.com and nothing shows up.

Yeah, I got stuck at the same place. I got most of the way there on my own though, so I'm pretty proud. :-)

Me: "Cool, that was fun, and I got another gig of space."

My wife: "Yes, much better than forcing the kids to open Dropbox accounts."

(Which I did once, when I needed to share a big file!)

Doh!

I bombed out at https://www.dropbox.com/votebox/3712/frozen-yogurt and wasted my entire day. I commend Dropbox for this awesome Saturday.

Same, dont know what to do at that page.

This thing was like trying to get support from Google. Step Two divide a number. Go to the forums. Then what?
