  1. Well well well Batboobs, it seems you've beaten me again, so let's recap.
  2.  
  3. Org Hint
  4. ===============================================================================================
  5. Box1 - https://mega.nz/#!oppWCBxR!1VySV2X8M2XEbwBDgBUDq9cyB-qWSJN_zJ6Y93Ht3II
  6. The time is now Christmas, and are you all done? You might have beaten me once, but it won't happen again. It is the season of SHARING, so here are some great movie recommendations. I hope you'll give them a listen, after all I really believe in you, do you believe in me too? (The answers will be in all lowercase unless otherwise specified)
  7. Deck the Halls
  8. Driving Miss Daisy
  9. Friday After Next
  10. Mona Lisa Smile
  11.  
  12. Sol:
  13. This clue is all about what these things have in common. But you don't give movies a listen, you give their soundtracks a listen. If you check their soundtracks you see that they all share "santa baby" which is of course the password.
  14.  
  15. Puzzle 1
  16. ===============================================================================================
  17. I can't believe you got through the door, but I wouldn't get too excited, we are just beginning and things are only going to worse. Here's a nice little piece of art, I hope you get it.
  18.  
  19. Sol:
  20. If you check the picture in the box (http://imgur.com/eNYWSbm) you'll see what appears to be a Christmas scene, but tinted. The image is also titled "saintwalker". So what could it be? Well how about a "blue christmas"
  21.  
  22. Puzzle 2
  23. ===============================================================================================
  24. You are starting to get pretty good at these aren't you? We've talked about Maui before, but I think I was wrong, I think this might be his favorite Christmas song.
  25.  
  26. Sol:
  27. By now we can see a trend of music related passwords, so now we know that the password must be song related and with Maui we must know that it's Hawaiian related. Well knowing that it must be "mele kalikimaka"
  28.  
  29. Puzzle 3
  30. ===============================================================================================
  31. My you are getting close, to the middle that is. Since you're here anyway, this damn Christmas song got stuck in my head. Damn if I can't remember the title though. All I can remember is that the singer seemed to be related to Catwoman, and that it had quite the RUN.
  32.  
  33. Sol:
  34. In order to solve this you must know a little bit about Catwomen. You see the Catwoman referenced here is not the ones from the comics. It's the awful Catwoman movie which of course starred Halle Berry. So now you're looking for a singer with the last name Berry and something do to with RUN, which of course is Chuck Berry's classic hit "run rudolph run"
  35.  
  36. Puzzle 4
  37. ===============================================================================================
  38. Wow you've made it pretty fair. I hope you keep a LIST of your achievements, had cellmate named CRAIG who did that. Last I heard he was up north in Alaska. He had a thing songs. Wonder what he's up to.
  39.  
  40. Sol:
  41. Seems you guys had a real problem with this one. That's to be expected you certainly aren't as smart as me. The key words LIST/CRAIG reference CRAIGSLIST. But craigslist is location based so it must be up in Alaska. But there's a lot of CL out there so how do you find it? Well by tracking a list of your achievements it of course means previous passwords. Those are tags, searching for those tags on the rants section of the Anchorage Alaska section (you can find search engines that query whole states, but I gave additional hints to those stuck). You will find the following posting https://anchorage.craigslist.org/rnr/5908830054.html

  45. So you've found me once again. It really is a shame that this is the farthest you'll go. Some things add up, but I promise you'll rank this hint as one that does not. I might even rent a billboard to show your rankings. Just keep in mind that if you don't make the list you're always a zero.
  46.  
  47. Tags: santa baby, blue christmas, mele kalikimaka, run rudolph run
  48.  
  49. But now we have a bigger problem. What the hell is the password? Well the date is the first clue. That is a time stamp that is definitely not the current one. But what next. I mention renting a billboard to show the rankings. Well if you are familiar with musical ranking systems, you'll know of the BILLBOARD ranking charts. So now you have a reference place, but the bigger question is the rankings for it's not just the regular billboard charts, since every song thus far has been Xmas related it is of course the billboard holiday rankings. Head over to http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-holiday-songs/2015-12-26 and find the rankings of every song which gives you: 52, 17, 61, and one missing song. Which brings us to the final part of the hint "keep in mind if you don't make the list you're always a zero", so the missing song must be 0. This gives you: 52, 17, 0, 61, but what the hell do I do with them. Well I tell you that "some things add up, but this hint does not", what's the opposite of adding up? SUBTRACTION. Subtract the songs in order of appearance 52 - 17 - 0 - 61 = -26.

  51. Open the final box and you get

  54. You've won, curses, foiled again, now go to the thread and post "Did you ever wonder if elves are just kids who know how to make toys?"
