The Greg McShane Challenge

Hints

This challenge started as a private joke, dating around 2005. Without any hint it is too hard to solve, since you need to know personnal things about Greg. Here I'm going to tell you a few things about the guy: Well… with this info the riddles should be accessible to a much wider audience. Still… many of them require geek knowledge and/or math knowledge (of varying levels).

More hints?

Btw, do you know this interesting website: The genealogy project?

Note for hackers: None of the riddles' solutions involves a web attack, none requires knowledge about the many internet protocols, no need to send strange requests to the server :) All the material is already given to you, for each riddle.

Good luck!
