I'm currently down the rabbit hole of reading about (ROT13) uggcf://zrqvhz.pbz/@wnzrfeboregf_96602/genafsbezref-hx-gur-pbzvp-gung-arneyl-purngrq-qrngu-9np69r7578q2
I also considered colors...
What a wild goose chase I sent myself on.
edit : also the fact that I complicate every thing*
edit 2 : yeah I complicated it
final edit : if I cant make level 23, I should just stop, take a break or smt like that
update : still trying to make a link between the clue and prime
If I need to know about random facts or topics or whatever, that’s not hard. That’s just annoying or the author is trying to prove how much smarter they are than you.
1: Update URL to be whiterabbit
2: "TMA-2", name of monolith in 2001 A Space Odyssey
3: "palladium", convert decimals in picture to ASCII
4: change URL to /right/brain
5: Something to do with "The Usual Suspects" probably 5: "Keyser Söze", logo is from Usual Suspects
6: "descartes", Ceaser cyper
7: "lucifer", lyrics from Symphony of the Devil
8: "bletchley park", images translate to w3w location
9: "conrad", reference to the movie "The Game"
10: "pineappowl", send "Hi" email to 3.243F6A8885DD3B903D0F@gmail.com
11: "ambidextrous", the image file name contains planets "susaturnortmarsxedvenusibma" planets removed and reversed
12: "playback", novel by chandler 11: "ambidextrous", remove planets from the filename and reverse
12: "playback", Raymond Chandler novel missing from the pile(From four tet's spotify profile: https://open.spotify.com/user/k_hebden)
Unfortunately the playlist will not load for me so I can't check it.
17: Thames voice hapless most - those words where different then in the orginal poem
18: nietzsche - image is binary code
19: heart of darkness - name of the source book
21: try, try again.
22: remember level 10?
Revisit level 10 for some ideas where to look.
Level 10 has got me quite stuck though! I think I have an idea what needs to be done, but I'm stuck on trial and error with the exact details.
That said, there's something deliberate that I know is a hint and doesn't figure into my thinking... I don't yet know what it means.
Frustrating, but fun :).

Edit: oh, hah. Got it. I somehow missed trying the right thing. I had gotten very close before, I just needed to add in the other hint.
Narrator : Thank you.
Tyler Durden : How's that working out for you?
Narrator : What?
Tyler Durden : Being clever.
Narrator : Great.
Tyler Durden : Keep it up then.
I am stuck there too. I'm almost certain it requires sending an email to a gmail address, but I'm not sure what that address is. I've already tried:
No response:
3.243f6a8885a@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of pi to 11 digits)
3.243f6a8885a3@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of pi to 12 digits)
182d4454fb210940@gmail.com (IEEE double precision representation of pi, little endian)
Address not found:
3.14159265359@gmail.com
pi@gmail.com
ea2e4454fb210940@gmail.com (IEEE double precision representation of 3.14159265359, little endian)
3.243f6a88876@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of 3.14159265359, no rounding)
3.243f6a88877@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of 3.14159265359, rounding)
332E3134313539323635333539@gmail.com (ASCII string 3.14159265359 in hexadecimal form)
7069@gmail.com ('p' and 'i' ascii codes to hex)
But I'm starting to think maybe my idea of using the hexadecimal representation of pi is a red herring. I also hope I'm not hitting gmail's spam filters.

> there are levels about movies, music, books, poetry, code breaking, and hunting for things online.
..it's really frustrating not even knowing if you are even on the right path.
I am guessing to send email but I couldn’t get my address right. I’ve tried using the given Pi precision as username and got the idea of domain name from the image. And I got the text to send from the url.
What have I missed?
I recall GEB (Gödel Escher Bach) playing a key part in a lot of the puzzles?
A big part of my early internet experience sadly lost

There were also some similar games/clones that never quite hit the spot for me.

Trying "Boolean" gives you "yes".
Images 1 and 3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_nonimplication Equivalent to P AND NOT Q
Image 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_disjunction Equivalent to P OR Q
Image 4: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_conjunction Equivalent to P AND Q
Thoughts: The URL is suspicious, may require changing the URL. The solution likely requires combining the boolean operators, but not sure how. I'm especially unclear how to use the words in the URL. "true", "false", "0", "1" etc. don't work so it has to be something more than simply evaluating a boolean expression.
