Yeah, #xor is just meant to be confusing. Dialogue by babelfish (back when it was such a thing!) The two matching boards were the beginning of a puzzle idea that never really worked out. The intended first path leads to the passage in the face, a second run through the channel forces you through to the "true" ending board. You can manage to find that passage on the first run, but it's not obvious or easy to get to.

Yep! I experienced it exactly as intended then.

Awesome, I'll check this out as soon as I'm home.

and it only took 7 years.

I received entries over a 3 year period. So lets compromise and say I was late by 4 years.
