This led to a second account with this in the bio: "102 111 108 108 111 119 32 109 101" (which decoded to 'follow me' in ASCII).

The DNA sequence decodes to binary: 11110000 10011111 10010000 10100110 11100010 10000000 10001101 11110000 10011111 10010100 10100101 11110000 10011111 10001111 10011101 11101111 10111000 10001111 00110011 Players could use a DNA decoder or manually map nucleotides to binary.

This binary decoded to 🐦🔥🏝️3, the puzzle solution. Congrats again to @frog & @bhaumik for being the first to solve it and secure spots in tomorrow's finale. And big thanks to @percs for automating the DMs, and @shl0ms for lending us his big puzzle brain!

This whole challenge was very entertaining. Would love a more detailed breakdown (maybe a video showing someone solving it, and the red herring paths) if possible
