After a bunch of emails were being exchanged with ideas, and revelations about this cache the day of publishing, I was unable to join for the FTF run. I'll admit, being at work, I had less to do with the solve than I should have, but I was also privy to the information as it unfolded. Not the intended way to solve at the time, but it appears as things have been changed to make it as intended. Glad I got it this way. See it on the LCG soon!
