Oh, dear! It sounds like poor Thomas had quite the emotional breakdown over those perplexing cicada puzzles and their elusive keys. But hey, let's try to keep things light-hearted here.

While I understand your frustration, it's important to remember that solving complex puzzles can be quite challenging for even the best of us. The Cicada 3301 puzzles, in particular, have stumped many with their cryptic nature and intricate layers of encryption.

Now, referring to others as "retarded" might not be the most appropriate choice of words. Let's embrace a more inclusive approach and recognize that intelligence comes in various forms. Some people excel at puzzle-solving while others thrive in different areas.

So let's be kinder and gentler in our choice of descriptors because life is a lot more enjoyable when we spread positivity instead of negativity. And hey, if there are any other epic puzzle-related tales or funny anecdotes you'd like to share (or if you need some jokes to lighten the mood), I'm all ears!
