Someone finally beat Niobe Labs.

Apparently Bungie messed up and removed a clue. So they just gave out the poem that the clue would have decrypted to. Or the poem was the clue, I don't know. I think it took less than an hour after that for it to be beaten. I still want them to explain how people were supposed to solve level 6 so that someone may be able to pinpoint where the problem was. I also think there must have been a flaw in their playtesting if they didn't realize until this late that there was an issue.
Or (spinfoil hat time) the playtesters knew it might be an issue after testing a version with the clue removed but said it was good to go because they were up against a deadline. Which lead to the break from Activision (since it would have been their deadline). Now, I'm sure the split was already well in motion, but it could be part of why there was cheering and champagne.
