0 gavinksong Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I hope I've made this puzzle reasonable to solve.. Here is a hint. You will need it after you've solved the first part. Of course, Monaco will do as well. I hope that's of some consolation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bonanova Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 You probably have. I just don't know where to start. I think my triangular box problem is easier. But it makes sense that a puzzle is clear to its creator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 gavinksong Posted April 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Wow, I really didn't think anybody would get this! I'm actually super impressed. ))) Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Pickett Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I just saw this puzzle...it's pretty awesome... All you really need to do is notice that the string ends with "=="...which, if you know anything about encodings, is a common ending for Base64 encoded strings. So, just plugging the string into a Base64 decoder, you get the result that was flagged as the answer. Really neat puzzle...simple if you get that first step...and props on the ASCII art! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
