Yes, I imagine throwing out one tenth of the cells in the grid does indeed help… (In all seriousness, @Yvette7, the hint is kind, but it strikes me as a little strong. Just my opinion, perhaps.)
I missed the poetry one and the hidden message one, so I had to solve those two first without the ability to verify my answers. It felt like a boss fight with three stages. Luckily it all worked out in the end.
The time has come
finally finished the meta puzzle after 4 hours of focus :') my brain needs a break. Glad the last puzzle was nice and challenging though, I will miss this.
I haven’t been able to solve the Metapuzzle because there were two puzzles for which I haven’t found the solution.
But those puzzles were really fun to do! I’ll try to solve them anyway, even tho the event has ended
As was spoiled by @Yvette7, the solution route went around #37 and #41.
Again, with this thought in mind:
this is the brute-forcing C code I used, pw to open: “hack the galaxy” (no quotes).
