eps1.91_redwheelbarr0w.txt - All Answers


Below are my final answers to the challenges from the book eps1.91_redwheelbarr0w.txt, and my understanding of the timeframe. Check my earlier posts to see how I solved the challenges.


Mysterious Envelope

Dark Army sends empty envelope hiding message to Mr. Robot in prison.

Your current situation cannot affect Stage Two. To communicate, use dead drop in library Encyclopedia, Vol. 2. Next message in word search.


QR Code

Elliot dreams of a maze/QR code.

If you drink much from a bottle marked “poison” it is almost certain to disagree with you sooner or later.


Tic-tac-toe

Mr. Robot writes message to Dark Army and leaves it in the Encyclopedia, per their instructions. Carla later retrieves it and puts it in between pages of the journal.

Timetable unchanged. Limited communication from in here. Request stage two status update.


Newspaper

Dark Army responds with status update using word search in paper.

Operation HQ to be determined upon choice of Evil Corp backup facility. Request status of backdoor implementation. Look for next message in prayer pamphlet.


Multiplication Table and Imprint

Mr. Robot responds to Dark Army’s request in the newspaper about status of backdoor implementation through Leon. Elliot mentions waking up to Mr. Robot doing a bunch of multiplication tables on the May 26th entry and later Mr. Robot taking the journal from him. After that on the same day, Leon talks to a Dark Army agent and likely relays the coded message.

Backdoor is work in progress; it will be done in time. Critical HQ must be near backup facility.


Prayer Pamphlet

Dark Army let’s Mr. Robot know of their plans for his release by pamphlet–likely through Leon.

The Dark Army is implementing a timetable to arrange your release. We are very close to final target day. Information to follow; next message is in note in mail.


D’s Card

Dark Army sends postcard as Darlene or using Darlene to update about HQ.

Headquarters now established. More info once you get home. The time is close.
