Big thanks to qtc for ruining 3 days of my life learning about o****. You more than made up for it on the journey to root which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Also #respekt to the many folks that nudged me along the path to user (you know who you are).
Hints:
For user… if you are like me you will want to rage quit- and that just when you do your initial research. This box is meant to get us outside our comfort zone and force us to learn about stuff that we would never otherwise learn naturally. Because of this, the web is now both safer and more dangerous. 
For root… Basic enum and google search should get it.
God bless you all. ><>
