Whatever I answer for "the official name of the chat" is incorrect.

Is this question bugged?

@Dharman Dunno. Depends on what you're guessing.

Chat Stack Exchange, StackExchange Chat, Chat

It doesn't have the word "chat" in it.

:O

It's a single word.

Then why does it say this on Google

It has an official product name that most people don't know about.

I have occasionally referred to it by this name on MSE. I know of at least one answer I wrote that refers to it with this name.

meta.stackexchange.com/search?q=user%3A284336+is%3Aa+%5Bchat%5D

^^^ Dig.

Sorry to whoever was looking earlier, I figured 22 was an easier target than 60+

I went by the string chat instead of the tag chat.

@Catija Meh :-)

The answer to the mindless reviews question eludes me though, the meta questions didn't seem to help?

thanks

It's called robo reviewing

but I don't know if that's the answer

I doubt it

Well, I got a question run without that specific question, so I'm fine for now.

nope, I can't see the pattern for the letters after the first (expected) decoding. Guess I will try later, or simply stop there.

yay, I got both hats now

@SPArcheon did you see the comment in HTML?

@SPArcheon You had to apply variants of an algorithm to get the note (which is written in proper english after decoding). Did you take note of the variants?

@nohillside Oh, I did, but I can't see a way to apply the "variant" to the "line" if that is what you mean.

You don't. Think letters

@Dharman it isn't.

@nohillside yep already tried variations->letters , in both styles to since that "algorithm" has two different notations. Got two sets and neither is an anagram that I can solve (or any online solver can, for what it matter)

if one of the letter strings has an f in it, you are probably on the right track. there is a link somewhere in the transcript of the last two days which helped me with the rest.

@Slate dammmmm, spent 5 hours for nothing

@nohillside It does, and if you are referring to the link I think, already tried :P

@Dharman if you fail the quiz can you also go back and complete the quiz

doesn't seem to produce anything that makes sense, and I don't really want to try every possible option . Will try later, after resting.

@RedzMakesErrors You can do it multiple times whether you fail or succeed.

nice

so you can get both hats

Worked for me.

cool

still trying to brute-force the second page

is the pounds even in the url?!?

@RedzMakesErrors "On the wall next to the gate is an alphanumeric keypad"

it doesn't have a pound sign

adsfhlashdflksdahklfdsaf

WHAT

aaaaa

thank you so much otherwise i would have been sitting here for 10 more hours

@Catija to clarify, if you succeed you get defender and if you fail robot and you can get both?

yes

YES GOT IT

@JamesRisner yes 😇

@SPArcheon there is one which doesn‘t only find the longest word.

dam, stuck on the third question

oh, sparkles has a hat!

All right. For those who have been thinking about the first puzzle for a while and are tired / feel stuck, here are two hints to (hopefully) set you on the right track. They're encoded in rot13, so you don't see 'em if you don't want to.

is there a better way to get the >1mil users than going through the entire stackexchange list

anyone got a hint for the mindless question

WAIT WHAT

@Slate i got ANOTHER 4 minute penalty

for a correct answer

is the system bugged

and again

what is the 'farewell' question talking about

@nohillside ACTUALLY IT IS A VARIANT

YEAHHHH

got it

this is cringe

it says 'you have are almost there'
