I agree.
The part that got me was the messier, scarlet letter and the revisiting the binary stuffs.

But it was brilliant.

Same here! I did try to use the spoilers wisely, and tried to find the clues myself when I could (uh, 10% of time?). Still, quite fun. But if anybody was able to complete that one without some spoilers, let us know!

That was awesome... but I'd never heard of half the things used in it. Cool stuff. Once again .. you guys are way too smart for your own good.

I needed a bit of help with the del.ici.ous searching, but was pretty OK from there.

I did the whole thing on my own, took A LOT of time of trial and error doing the whole editing of the binary thing... I liked the heist last week better, less trial and error and more thinking involved.

anyone else think that the pic of the door and arrow was totally the wrong pic to use for the word 'in'?

it had me stumped for ages!

i have to admit that i had to go to the back door for help with that.

I though it was D + Out, so I was thinking doubt and two states. Add that to the split personality thing from before, and I got very confused.

I'm incredibly amazed about how the directorate make such interesting heists, It's like an addiction somehow.

Thanks a lot for this!

This one was truly amazing!

I spent hours on what to do with the "pulsing lights"... had to go to the Backroom to find out you need to switch them to one's...next one I'm determined not to use the Backroom!

Great Heist!

I tried several things with the binary codes, but ran out of time - so I didn't figure out that bit completely on my own (I did change the flashing to one, just didn't change the rest to zero!).  Still, it helped me relearn and remember some other stuff, so I consider it a great success. 

Thanks, Directorate!  Brilliant heist!

Whistle while you work.  Patience is key.

i think it was excellent that the binary had the entire community completely stuck for at least a few hours...

You know... I really wouldn't call the Backroom spoilers anymore. Just a collective discussion - I would find it impossible to do otherwise.

It's funny though... the hardest heist gives the most useless apps (all though this iPulse looks pretty cool). tongue.

Actually, the title is because this thread was in the Front before. I'll remove the part about spoilers now smile

Agreed.  There seems to be nothing we can't accomplish.

I think that heist 3 was great, but I needed a few aids here and there from the backroom ( mainly regarding the icard and the bianary)...

It's sad how theAmazon is slowly falling apart.
