I've been working on the book "S." by JJ Abrams's and Doug Dorst, since 2013. Though I have solved several of the ciphers, many more remain unsolved. If you're interested in reading it, I can get you up to speed. It makes this puzzle look like a Cryptoquip. I know what you mean when you say you have to take a break to clear your head. "S." is one Hell of a rabbit hole. I've obsessed over a single chapter for years. I've made a lot of headway, but still haven't cracked it.

[@zKaltern]

For those (like me!) who solved along, and are trying to solve the final part, I spent HOURS trying to figure out why what I had figured out to be the most likely solution was not working... After some properly coffee induced rage, I gave up, closed the site and enjoyed life. But, as puzzles always seem to do, it pulled at my soul and nagged my conscience to go finish the job. So I tried again - and it worked first time. I wasn't really sure WHY this happened, so I tried an experiment - the bottom line is, if you THINK you know the answer... REFRESH THE PAGE FIRST!!!! It seems the code entry script isn't forgetting previous attempts, if you haven't entered enough numbers (no spoilers!), so it doesn't always work if you DO put the right combination in. So refresh the page after every attempt. This post contains absolutely NO spoilers, inferred or otherwise (Chris can verify this if he wants) - the solution is exceptionally satisfying, if irritating!

[@clausanders2886]

Irritating at least. But I got it.

[@timjohnson2635]

Yeah - the code has a bug where it will fail to use the complete combination you've entered and instead only use your last number

[@TheNoMoreGamer]

So some quick googling and found out 2 things 1. They don’t give you stuff anymore. Solving the puzzle is purely self satisfaction. 2. The answer to number 7 is… something that’s gonna fly over a lot of peoples heads. I’m not saying anything but I think it would be fair to at least push people in the right direction of where they might possibly start to piece together the combination.

This is so weird. I bought this box because of your first video and haven't opened it since. I was just contemplating finally opening it the other day and trying to solve the puzzle and now you post a video on solving it.

[@JaceDraccus]

Well, I thought I'd give it a go before/during watching this, see if I could figure things out. First couple of puzzles weren't too bad, then I got stuck on the radio because the sound just didn't work consistently enough to make any sense out of it. So I went looking online for help, didn't find anything, came back to see if you managed it. I have to admit I cribbed your answer on that one... and in looking for that answer, I got a hint on the 'invisible' image, but that still took a little work to get it right. I also have to admit I was stuck on the video until I watched and you pointed out the binary numbers. So I scoured the puzzle video for those a couple of times, found a bunch, but couldn't quite make sense of them. So I came back here, and turns out I found some letters you didn't, and you filled in a couple of the gaps for me. Still not complete, but enough to take a stab at it, so I paused and tried it, and it worked. Yay! And now I am stuck on the safe. I have a fair idea what the answer relates to, but I'm damned if I can figure out how to make it work. Still, I understand why you didn't show the solution, and after I've already stood on your shoulders a bit it seems only fair that I figure it out myself.... that, and Google isn't much help. Found a reddit thread which claimed to have the answer but it doesn't work. So I guess I just have to keep trying. Right after I get some sleep. Anyways, thanks. This is a pretty cool puzzle.
