Well, figured out what I needed to do at about 1pm yesterday, but wasn't able to actually DO it until 10:30pm. Once I finished, I did find out I was the 5th person to complete it... but now I have to figure out what to do with my spare time. :p
I would have gotten it much faster, I guess, but not knowing HOW well hidden everything was, I spent a lot of time on super-deeply layered clues that I guess weren't actually clues at all... ah, well.
However, I'm still not sure this was really the final end... I got the solution for the issues meta-puzzle, but there was more than one allusion to the fact that there might be 3 meta-puzzles in the issue, with a meta-meta puzzle on top of those... and I found a number of unsolved hints in the issue (or they SEEM to be.. maybe they are just me seeing things that aren't there)... but I'm still curious if there is more, and still looking. :)
I guess the guy who got first beat me (Steve Bavacqua) by days, though.. of course, I didn't really even get the mag until Apr 18th, and didn't look at it until the 19th, but still...

I've made some good progress on the puzzles, but I was wondering if I could email or IM you and see if i'm on the right track (i don't want to post any spoilers here and potentially ruin the experience for anyone else).
Sure... pretty easy to figure out my email, just send it to what I'm posting this comment as, at my domain (minus the www).
I would put it a bit more plainly, but I hate spam!
Just solved it! Thanks!
Do you think the image at the end page (with the people in blue), or the email address they give you means anything? I feel like there might be more...
