When the Puzzle Hunt is over I can leave everything available for some time and post the intended solution for each step. Then you can look in the walkthrough for the step you are stuck on and try to solve the next instead. I will put each step in a separate post and use spoiler tags so you do not risk to see more than you want.
Keep up the good work! As always, look for simple solutions and study the clues carefully
Yes Please

I think I'm at the end
Yes, you have reached the end but have to solve the final problem there before you have completed the Puzzle Hunt. You are close now

Problem #2:
The second problem is just to understand the basics in the puzzle hunt. You have this information:
