Trick is to send the slowest ones across together soo...

You + Assistant cross 2 mins
You back 1 mins
Professor + Janitor cross 10 mins
Assistant back 2 mins
You + Assistant cross 2 mins
Total 17 mins!
Screw you zombies!

@_Haxington_ I think you might have made it a bit hard for us dummys :P
It's an enigma cipher, sure. But without knowing the initial settings of the 'rotors' (not to mention which 'rotors' used) it's a bit tricky. There's one or two combinations to try (*ahem* at least 712 million *ahem*), and I haven't the patience to go through them.

I did hope you'd tacked the rotor settings on the front, but not as far as I could tell. If the text has to go through a Ceasar cipher first, you're a real bastard :)

Give us a hint? Otherwise I give up.

As you progress throughout the journey of life, you may find that the answers for the beginning lie in the end...

Why now why is this on craftymynes whats the big plot what are they hiding!

Interestingly, it is actually possible to respawn the original dragon that drops the dragon egg and 12,000 xp. The only problem is that it uses a bug, and I would assume isn't allowed on the server (useful for SSP though).

How's about this one folks!

Protip: When using a redstone flying machine ride in a minecart. Make sure the minecart will never be on any part of a piston and you should be good to go. This should be lag-proof, and you will be able to relog safely.

TL;DR explanation:
Most people use boats with flying machines, this was fine until 1.9 changed how the positions of boats are processed. Since 1.9 the position of a boat with a player in is calculated by the client, and sent to the server (calculated clientside). Without lag all is well, but with server lag where the server thinks the boat is, vs. where the client thinks the boat is can desync. This makes it very easy for players in boats on flying machines to clip into blocks or whatever and fall through the blocks and off the machine.
The position of minecarts is always calculated serverside and sent to the client. Therefore even with lag minecarts can never clip into the blocks of a flying machine and fall through.

Ohhh, so thats why you have a funky monochrome thing going on. Did you know you can make actually floating sand without anything underneath it?

I'm not entirely sure if you're posting this because you're surprised the sand is floating, or if you want to show off that you can make sand float.
Either way I made my cactus farm with floating sand because I like the particle effect :)

Was BUD powered by redstone on the block above :)
