Yep, I fumbled around with "Chapter II" until I was cross-eyed.

It had me going until I followed the clue he gave on the page. Then it fell into place easily.

Come come now, Chapter 2 was easy compared to Chapter 1. Now on to Chapter 3 and more frustration...

**Edit** Done with Chapter 3

Chapter 4 Commentary, "Well, crap."

**Edit Again** AH HA!!! Got it!!!!

Slow and steady, I'm on chapter three.

Edit: at the gateway! And I seem to have hit a dead end. I need some rest. Tackle that gate with a fresh brain in the morning.

ISSUE SOLVED - I HAVE ALL THE EMAILS - DO NOT WORRY
(They just did not arrived in my mailbox, they are online and visible)

any hints for the gateway guys? I've got the three numbers by now and adding them isn't working. I would assume it's a captain planet kinda deal and they have to be combined?

There are literally no hints to give you...

Haha where exactly are you at ? lol

I could give you a hint, but I think it would be rude to Lorenzo as it is his decision if he wants to give hints to allow more entries or not. Sorry.

On the third enigma and my brain hurts!

Don't overthink it.

I told myself I wouldn't leave the office til I got it. Well I finally figured it out but it's almost 11pm now!

Holy shit. I got it! I actually FINALLY got it!

I was actually typing up a post just asking for the damn answer coz I'd rather forfeit the competition than not know the end to this quest!

Then I decided to try one last thing and it goddamn worked. I need a cigarette.

Lorenzo that was simply awesome. No boss puzzle has ever given me this much hell before. And I can't even believe how ridiculously simple it was.

I thought the same thing when I finally figure it out but I quit smoking almost a year ago.

Congrats to all that solved it and good luck with the drawing.

I quit probably 5 or 6 years ago and I nearly started up again a few times while doing this treasure hunt.

So Lorenzo, I know we find out who won in a few days, but can you tell us how many people made it to the end after it's closed?

so far I counted around 30 finalists.. by the end of the day might be 35
not a huge number

Hey, Lorenzo - I finally figured out Chapter 4 earlier (maybe 6 hours ago or so?) but I haven't seen an email from you. Should I resend?

Awesome set of puzzles by the way - I gave myself a facepalm when I finally figured out Chapter 4

Haha, I finally got it. I supposed I made the same error than esoteridactyl, right idea from the start, but an error...

Anyway, super nice quest, and thanks for the enjoyment !

Same here on both counts - it was Facepalm City at the end. Anyway I haven't received an email either!

I just can't solve Chapter IV.

Yashi, if you GOT to chapter IV you can solve it. I promise

Geez, finally figured out the last one. Definitely was making it harder than it had to be. It's funny how vague clues and hints are less annoying once you figure them out. Now that I'm done I realized I completely missed out on the Gator back release though. >_<

15 minutes till game over. Lol.

And - we're done. Actually by my count we have 3 hours - didn't he say "midnight Central Europe Time"? It's 21.00 there at the moment.

Looks like I missed a couple of cool contests over the long holiday weekend. Well, good luck to everyone who entered!

Really? I thought it just said it was over on the 3rd (i.e. at midnight where he is). I'm pretty certain it was over on the Facebook side. Not bad, 30+ people hardy enough to stick it out on that 4-level Easter egg hunt.

According to the last post he made on the FB quest post, he ended it at about 1530 Eastern time.
