Background

As an experiment to see if people would treat me differently, I used to keep my age a secret. I'm satisfied with how that went, so now I'm willing to reveal reveal my age via the most painful process: a scavenger hunt.

Rules

  1. If someone asks my age, please only link to this page. I.e. don't share my age itself, link to the final page, or give tips/solutions.
  2. Do not talk about how to solve puzzles in chat or Discord.
  3. No brute-forcing your guesses! This is running on a shared webhost.

Instructions

Start the hunt

Clue for the first puzzle: F_I_R_S_T

Remember: strip underscores and make all letters lowercase.
