2012 Cicada 3301 Solutions Part 1

This is the first in the series for the 2012 solutions and Post-puzzle events, going from the start to the phone number. As this is my first in the series of solutions, and also not my year of Cicada, I&a little unsure of pacing for this video, I could go slower with more depth or tutorial at each step, and I could either do fewer uploads of greater length, of more uploads of shorter length for individual steps. Let me know any opinions in comments. I do expect the pace to slow down some when we get to Post-2012, and when we&covering the years I was more involved.
