I am not sure who officially did first, but when the New Deal was released, from the times, it looked like it was just me and Shane who did it.
Yes and it was calling out to be found. I looked at the flag with the bomb and figured that there had to be in SZ's design a way to get it without going around. I tried a number of different things, but going over was definitely the easiest and fastest. My game was much more of a jump over than Shane's. His does look like he just went right through. It probably is just a glitch in the replay.
