I worked on x11-b-1381 until there appeared to be an encoding error in a variation of the enigma cipher they used that made it unsolvable. The author insists it wasn't a problem, but I think that one really derailed the puzzle. It was very immersive, but the author giving interviews broke the spell. There was another aspect of it that isn't talked about much, which was that the x11-b puzzle author seemed to launch several hundred Tor exit nodes (named for the puzzle) out of holland if I remember correctly. I didn't have my gear or the time to start trying to find and extract injected malware from the nodes or do diffs against the videos from the internet vs. those exit nodes, but since that was a next level play, I couldn't take the time to run down that rabbit hole.
