I've figured out the significance of all but the 14th to last number I just can't work out why the rule changes there..

Clue 2: It's not a number pattern, it's something else. Count on it.

Important Edit: It turns out I typoed on two of the numbers near the end. I choose to blame it being 90F in my house due to the lack of an air conditioner, since it's very convenient and can't fight back. Here is the updated number sequence, with the changed numbers in bold:

5524, 658, 1, 17, 2, 11, 8263, 7, 40, 377, 4, 5, 4001, 3, 56, 4001, 3, 61, 1, 8, 2, 5899, 149, 44, 254, 3, 28, 4628, 1, 81, 8462, 361, 19, 11422, 1, 1, 11429, 6, 24, 3800, 11, 6, 3800, 12, 13, 11107, 2, 9, 2846, 38, 20, 8188, 2, 16, 1234, 1, 6, 2997, 2, 16, 4000, 15, 15, 7532, 7, 19, 8, 213, 2, 9474, 2, 8, 4967, 32, 8, 7980, 1, 30, 65, 4, 21, 100, 3, 9, 7327, 10, 15, 11053, 52, 31, 3043, 4, 9, 5568, 9, 1, 9892, 1, 28, 7122, 123, 3, 11370, 4, 10, 8199, 7, 15, 9734, 1, 16, 10456, 91, 18



Though for those who've been working on it as a number pattern, I am really interested what you've found within it.

Curses!

I thought I had a pretty good process worked out for getting the answer, but I don't think it really worked out as well as I had hoped. I hope there isn't another layer of encryption here (i.e. transposition or substitution) or I will be angry.

How would a list of threads give us an answer? We have to get some sort of an answer out of those numbers.

Clue 4: They should really make a movie out of this puzzle... well, a scene in a movie actually, or it wouldn't be a very long film at all. I'd cast that guy from The Rock in it. And Christopher Plummer for no really good reason.

Fantastic... Just when I thought my approach was working, it yielded gibberish, with a couple words mixed in by coincidence.

Clue 5: The numbers refer to locations on the site. Take them in sets of three, then solve for X.

I think I figured the puzzle out I'm just too lazy to do all the work.
Can I post what I think you have to do to find it out?

The first number was a massive help, but the second one... You can't be clairvoyant!

Can't give any more clues without giving away the puzzle, and that would be a sticky situation indeed. Here's a full recap of everything up to now:

Puzzle: 5524, 658, 1, 17, 2, 11, 8263, 7, 40, 377, 4, 5, 4001, 3, 56, 4001, 3, 61, 1, 8, 2, 5899, 149, 44, 254, 3, 28, 4628, 1, 81, 8462, 361, 19, 11422, 1, 1, 11429, 6, 24, 3800, 11, 6, 3800, 12, 13, 11107, 2, 9, 2846, 38, 20, 8188, 2, 16, 1234, 1, 6, 2997, 2, 16, 4000, 15, 15, 7532, 7, 19, 8, 213, 2, 9474, 2, 8, 4967, 32, 8, 7980, 1, 30, 65, 4, 21, 100, 3, 9, 7327, 10, 15, 11053, 52, 31, 3043, 4, 9, 5568, 9, 1, 9892, 1, 28, 7122, 123, 3, 11370, 4, 10, 8199, 7, 15, 9734, 1, 16, 10456, 91, 18

Clue 1: The numbers are just numbers. What you have to figure out is their significance.

Clue 2: It's not a number pattern, it's something else. Count on it.

Clue 3: If you've already solved the first part of the puzzle, it's time to think about the game and the real world.

Clue 4: They should really make a movie out of this puzzle... well, a scene in a movie actually, or it wouldn't be a very long film at all. I'd cast that guy from The Rock in it. And Christopher Plummer for no really good reason.
