first off, thanks for playing my game, and i hope you're enjoying it
now, regarding the authentication on my website, that's because i had been receiving way too many spam emails from bots saying they can improve my website for a fee, so blame them.
as for the puzzle itself, given there are a number of players going through the game and posting here, i can't really spell it out here, or give too many key details that would ruin it for others. if you do try to go through my website again, i'd be happy to explain how it works in more detail there, instead of having to rely on thinly hidden coded messages
