(Spoiler warnings possibly, although I haven't solved anything...)

I am stuck there too. I'm almost certain it requires sending an email to a gmail address, but I'm not sure what that address is. I've already tried:

No response:

3.243f6a8885a@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of pi to 11 digits)

3.243f6a8885a3@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of pi to 12 digits)

182d4454fb210940@gmail.com (IEEE double precision representation of pi, little endian)

Address not found:

3.14159265359@gmail.com

pi@gmail.com

ea2e4454fb210940@gmail.com (IEEE double precision representation of 3.14159265359, little endian)

3.243f6a88876@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of 3.14159265359, no rounding)

3.243f6a88877@gmail.com (hexadecimal representation of 3.14159265359, rounding)

332E3134313539323635333539@gmail.com (ASCII string 3.14159265359 in hexadecimal form)

7069@gmail.com ('p' and 'i' ascii codes to hex)

But I'm starting to think maybe my idea of using the hexadecimal representation of pi is a red herring. I also hope I'm not hitting gmail's spam filters.



rot13 hint, pretty involved hint that doesn't literally say the answer but is one step away

Thanks so much for this. I was also beating my head against the wall over-nerding the correct idea. This gave me what I needed and didn't really add any spoilers beyond the ones contained in the post above.


Thank you so much, finally got it!
