Yes I was just trying to nudge you forward and my hints I posted was not the ones needed to solve the puzzle, someone saw my comment here and we start talking about how obvious some findings were, in another group with fewer people. I was stuck so I reached out here and was going to send more hints after you guys got the "1658" haha as it turns out this hint was just a cool coincidence. Not a solution but a Re-solution if you know what I mean
Thank you for coming forward with it and not continuing your game. There are strong emotions around, thank you for not taking advantage of it any longer.
But a question remains then: who was the hinter behind that one "hint"?!
After we talked about the obvious he cracked it a little later.
