I don’t understand the rules. Is it possible to fill out all the blanks based on just the info provided in points 1-5?

Or is this an invitation to the game which actually starts at October 7th?

It’s an invitation to a game that starts Oct 7. It is not possible to figure out the puzzle yet, but it is possible to figure out the nature of the puzzle and possible ways of solving it now.

Something at wallet address provides a clue to the puzzle.

Edit: starts Oct 6th

We don’t know the judge who determines the winner, we don’t have the votes to determine the winner, we can’t see the clock that determines the winner, and only the winner will know who they are.

D’oh, cardano-cli can’t do paper wallet restoration, which I guess will be needed. Gonna have to reinstall Daedalus.

Claim the prize!! :slight_smile:

I tried to but failed. In the wallet address, there are three transactions before the first video. The amounts are 27, 3.14 and 42. There are 27 words to find. 3.14 you might recognize from math class and 42 is the meaning of life (form the hitchhiker’s guide). I’m guessing the 3.14 represents a circle -> Caesar cipher

Ok so we are trying to find a private key or a seed? And the answers of the puzzle are decrypted using Caesar cipher?
