Might be on a hiding to nothing!
Is 2016-07-23T10:33:03 the answer ? :)
Yeah it is! Congratulation :) You won
Wov! Cool! :)
I have read most of your blog posts, comments, checked pictures, and finally found your poem! :)
After I found out the question, it was so obvious.
I will make a winners announcement tomorrow and send you the prize
Thank you! :)
OK, i got the hidden link figured out and got the link to the image and the rar - but i'm stuck on password for opening it
great puzzles btw, you should definitely get myst -
and fore more puzzles like this follow hbo's westworld and their online ARG for the backstory - https://discoverwestworld.com/
Check the picture. :)
If you convert the digits from the cover image to text, you get this "encryption is the key". It might be useful later. :)
The next crypto challenge you will play the joker
one day I would do this challenge, one day. That's not the type of challenge I am good at unfortunately.
Maybe you can find someone to help you and share the reward
it reminds me of the puzzles in myst
I had to google to know what Myst is. Looks interesting
I am also stuck with with the riddle in the artist.txt . It contains this:
Two nice guys made a great interpreation. Have a look. There are hints.
How did you open the text file?
I checked the picture from the encrypted text with google. I found that it is the phases of mitosis. So I tried mitosis as password, and it worked! :)
I knew it was too easy :D
Yes, but at least there is a chance to solve the challenge! :)
Btw I keep searching, and I just found your article:
https://steemit.com/science/@timsaid/life-explorers-the-science-academy-bacteria-and-viruses
So if I search on steemit for Interphase, I also find the password. :)
