I get the Carson reference and I get "the secret" reference, and I solved the puzzle pretty easily (didn't end up using the 22 cage in the middle). But I also don't get what those references have to do with this puzzle. Sorry.

Very fun puzzle! Though I do not understand the plot or how the solution is the question in the envelope
