You look around the giveaway you just came upon and realize that this was the answer to a different puzzle, one that ended a long time ago. You notice some weird letters and spend some time trying to decode them before deciding that you'll just come back here if it turns out you really need that information.

Neat puzzle. I didn't have any problem finding the message, but one thing that tripped me up initially was that I assumed the pad was the start of the text instead of the first bullet point.

Good to hear!
Yeah, it looks like that might be the issue others are having, but that will be the big hint at the end if no else gets here. :3

But the first bullet point is the first "paragraph" in appropiate length and without highlited letters. So it should be clear its the pad. ;)

Spent an hour struggling because I forgot to set the One Time Pad solver from 'encrypt' to 'decrypt.' Dx

Wow. Great "puuzle" (is it still a puzzle when you got clear instructions how to solve?!^^)
One Time Pad/ Vernom Cipher was new to me - luckily i am familiar with Base64, binary and ROT-13.(Ceasar)...
Still took me almost 2 hours experimenting with the cipher (until i found the "htpps://www." followed by some jibberjabber. Only had to write out the highlited letters more carfully et voilá: here i am.
Very satisfying. Thank you!

I figured it might be new to a lot of people, part of what inspired the presentation.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and congrats on solving!

Somehow I thought the pad would be all uppercased words linked together:
TRYGAUZUALLYGANEATFIVEANDJUSTGIVEBINARYFORM.
Only after rereading the whole text for nth time I got the line "this pad" ;)
Nice puzzle!

That would be a feat to accomplish, since the uppercase letters were defined by the pad-encrypted text :3
Congrats on solving!
