RE: [$15 prize] Mini Crypto Challenge #1 - Do you have what it takes to break the code?
The image hints translates to:
Monday
Arctic
Wellesley
Green
Electra
The Seventh Seal
Synergize
which can be found on xkcd: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1417:_Seven
At the top of the page, you'll see an image and (Colossus of rhodes) fits (cross-hoofed souls).
Colossus of rhodes is one of the seven wonders of the world.
All of the sentences correspond to six of the seven wonders of the world.
The final one missing is Statue of Zeus at Olympia.
We've got a winner! 🎉
Well done! I wasn't sure if I was giving too little or too many hints, but solved in less than two days by the collaboration of only two users seems like a nice first challenge. Congratulations :)
I'll write a post about it soon, at which point I'll transfer the rewards as well.
Excellent good work @howtostartablog!! I like this challenge. And I win the second prize :). Thank you @pilcrow
Great job. I used your comment as a hint :)
Woohoo! Finally won something. It was pretty fun, especially since I like anagrams. It would have been harder without the 1417 clue. Would love to participate in another challenge. Hopefully more join in the future.
I'll definitely make more challenges! Next time I won't give as many hints in the comments, I'll only confirm or deny guesses that others place in the comments. Thanks for playing :)
