Prepare - Uncover - Outwit - Find - WIN!
So you think you're good with riddles? Solving Sudokus is fun but how about crypto-puzzles? Started on Steemit the Crypto Challenge is now back one Hive with new brainbrakers and great prizes. This challenge is not impossible, but you'll feel like it is.
Can you follow your intuition? The first to reveal a hint will win a prize. The first to solve the whole challenge wins a much bigger prize.
Everything you see is potentially a hint that will guide you one step closer to solving the puzzle. Some hints are given, the rest is up to YOU! It's time to encipher.it
Hint Nr.1:
https://hive.blog/hive-174578/@timsaid/timtravels-a-different-kind-of-tree-hint-nr-1 & s/ /D
Hint Nr.2:
197gY7bERules, Terms, and Conditions
You will need to employ all of your skills to solve this crypto-puzzle. This isn't for the weak-hearted.
Don't limit your creativity, if it get's too dark turn on the light!
Take advantage of:
- Image (and reverse) searches
- Wikis or Encyclopedias
- Filesharing Sites
- Sound, video, and image recording manipulation
Don't be limited to the list above, get creative!
Think you got in the bag? How hard could it be? Surely, your Code Solvers and Image Manipulation Translators are up to date, piece of cake! Several hints are already in place. Open your eyes! Have a look around. But do not get distracted. It could also be that some of my hints are trash for the bin
All submissions are due by Friday, 1 May 2020 @ 6pm (UTC -4)
The First Prize reward is 500 HIVE
Additional Prize: 5 HIVE per new hint uncovered.
Big shoutout to @innerhive for contributing 250 HIVE to the prize!
Teamwork makes the dream work, don't be afraid to work together and SPLIT the rewards
Interesting!! The plot thickens, or perhaps started out thick.
500 HIVE are in the pot. I wish you good luck! :D
If it's still up and running at the end of the day I'll take a boo. For now -- it's time to go to work. :(
Cool challenge! Resharing and whatnot
This is going to be a tough one to crack
But not impossible. Hope the 500 HIVE are motivation enough
2nd hint is a pastebin link, still unsure where the password is found in the first hint image.
"amsterdam", "netherlands"
Where are you trying to put in a password?
it could be cbiikynpp2sigmr
got it
mmm, didnt think to use the dropbox link. encipher.it
Yeeted you a lil bit, for the assist. :)
A great start!
I've missed those challenges! It's nice to see you back here @timsaid!
And I’ll try to make them better then ever! Glad to be back :)
Anything related to 9/11?
HIVE > STEEM
That is correct. Hats off, I didn’t expect anyone to solve it that quickly. To be honest, you made me quite a bit speechless. I put quite some effort into this challenge :P Have to make the next one harder
Was that the real answer? I progressed quite a bit but stuck on one of the passwords.
Yes that is the correct and final answer. I’ll make a with the solution tomorrow. Maybe lefevre wants to do create a post too describing how he solved it?
Fun puzzle, looking forward to the next one. Happy to see these popping off :)
Congrats! what was the password for hivechallenge.rar?
the same thing you used to get to that link. The dropbox ID
I got stuck on the hivechallenge.rar How were you supposed to use that?
See the comment from lefevre above
Wow what a brilliant idea and a beautiful outcome 😊 I will be looking forward for the next one 🙏
When the crypto world makes you wish you were a nerd...
Can I get a prize for not even getting close to solving it? :D
