I am stuck at this very stage, any small hint? Not too much rearrangement in the challenge so far, I tried several approaches but without any result so far

The names are important, not the content.

Content counts.

Hey, don't confuse people!!! Information (or data) counts... regardless how you achieve it...
The insane in this challenge is, that there is more than one way to get "useful" data... but only one is the solution. Simply carry on, if you find out that you're being fooled

I have found the first clue, but when I do:

find -depth ! -iname '*.txt' ! -type d -fprint output_log.txt

I cannot seem to find any "hidden" files, meaning there are only .txt files and directories there. What gives?

EDIT: Okay, now I have found the second clue as well...

I got the first clue with a combination of find, xargs and grep.
I looked at the path names (full speed with find ) and none of these seemed to be longer, so I guess no information is simply in the name of a file.
I tried the file-command to find non-text files. No success. I guess its one of the 123 no-magic-files?

edit: grep with PERL-Regex showed only the first hint

Nice little challenge - enjoyed this one.

Not sure how you could give a hint without giving too much away, suffice to say they are a few variables here which could hold what you are looking for.
