A quest.  A journey.  A challenge to your skills and knowledge.

mysQuest.

http://mysquest.zzl.org/

Please PM me if you need to talk.  I ask that you don't post walkthroughs on this thread.

Winners may get Google Invites, Gift Certificates, whatever I have that day. Or you can ask for a virtual hug.

Thanks,

The website "http://what.cd" really has no significance to this quest.  That's all I will say for now.  Also, source code is important!

Driving you crazy, eh?

"Don't Make Assumptions" should be your key guide.  If all else fails, start the quest over and be very careful!

If you are getting really frustrated, PM me and I will help you.  But I'd rather you find it on your own ^-^ !

I've checked the source code on the what.cd part of the quest and found nothing of interest.

so you're saying it's a dead end? why construct dead ends if it just gives you more hassles when people are trying to complete the heist? ill be surprised if anyone finishes this heist without the help from the OP

I think that some people could finish this heist without hints. They just need some logic, determination, grit. There is a dead end, but that's only if you assumed. If you didn't, you would arrive at the page, and should find a solution that wouldn't take so long.

Sorry about that.  What part were you stuck on?  Maybe I should make it way easier so that everyone can finish it wink

actually.. I took another look at it, then thought "hmmm.. maybe if i convert the letters to lowercase" and that seemed to work.. so the final answer is lowercase and remove the spaces

Okay.  The HEX Encoder I used automatically made everything lowercase and removed the spaces.
