White Rabbit, I don't know what your goal is, but from what I know you are saying random things. If you knew more, you could simply solve this puzzle and go away with money. You probably, as 99% of people here, don't even know where to start and why. So, do you want tips? Do you want to bring people out of track just to have more time to solve this? I don't really know but I don't think you are in some way related to this puzzle as someone guessed
The one thing that comes to mind is that the White Rabbit is part of the team that designed the puzzle and is frustrated that most people are stuck on the first page, counting flames. The first real step and beyond goes many, many layers deeper. I have found dozens of significant images in that file, or hundreds if you count intermediary steps. There are two big stories, told graphically in there. Its almost a game, more than a set of images, and appears to descibe at the very least, a vast 3 dimensional space to explore. There may be more dimensions there, if you go by the nodes between them. The white rabbit is the key, and you wont find him (I dont think) on the first image.
Everything White Rabbit said in this thread, that Ive seen, applies to the puzzle. This isnt bragging, more of a sideways hint because I have a sense of honor. The flames, and counting them may have later relevance, Im not sure, but I havent used them directly at all, and Im hundreds of steps deep. Lateral thinking and a sense of aesthetics will serve you well. This is an amazing feat of software engineering, but the progress Ive made has mostly involved my artistic skills. In fact, Im stuck, a bit, on a more traditionally cryptographic aspect of the puzzle. It involves decrypting symbols that serve as instructions in a long series of chains.
If you figure out the first step, save early and often, and set aside gigabytes of space for the data you pull out. I lost a few days before I got back on track after a mistake in that department.
Are you sure you're not telling yourself a story that you simply want to believe? To me, internal part of the art simply tells how to interpret the flames properly, so you wont have to brute-force them. It might tell something quite specific, like read only reds, or skip this, jump over that, flip bits of flames related to the "partially turned page" (that reveals the blue side), etc. I
in order to see N-th meaning of all of this. Remember, if you stare long enough at the cloud, you can see anything, and usually those are things that directly reflect your life somehow. Make sure you'Re not in a rabbit hole, dug by the author of the puzzle, cause you might get lost in there.
