Title: 0.025 BTC for a puzzle
Post by: Sat0shiSecret on December 12, 2013, 09:03:03 PM
Hi coiners,

I decided to set up a free puzzle.
"Satoshi and some people bought it, to orient oneself better. It also helps other to orient. What is it?"

The one, who can tell me the solution gets a private key of an adress with 0.025 BTC . (1MystitTDD3BqCayxqAzHWZ7EAr9af6Mnq)

UPDATE:  The winner is medUSA Solution: Flash-/Torchlight.
FAQ:  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=352085.0

THE ADAPTED RULES (PLEASE READ!):

- I  answer questions, but only with YES or NO. For free.

- questions only in this thread please.

- Every Bitcointalk-Member (with a registration before October 2013 and no german) can participate.

- If I answer your question with NO,  you have to wait until three question passed  to ask a new one.

- If a question is given, please wait until it is answered. If you ask a question though, you will be banned for six-question.

- After every YES -answer I expose three digits of the private key of the Pot.

- Should I notice, that someone try to ask dumb question to get more YES-Answer -----> Ban (Six-question)
For example: " Can you buy it with bitcoin?, Can you buy it with dollar?, Can you buy it with Yen?, Can you buy it with rubel?"  etc.

- Deadline: 15th December 05:00 PM. "Last-question-wins" if the puzzle didn't got solved.


Special:
The winner is also qualified for another puzzle with a pot of 0.15 BTC. The Rules for this puzzle will be set up soon (UPDATE: 18th December) . phantastisch from the german-subforum is already qualified.

Is it something that is widely know and used?
Also, you should give the private key to an escrow for them to hold onto the funds.

YES Private Key: 5Jd____________________________

Additional Information: YES for the first world. In the third world I wouldn't say "widely".

Well, if you find some trustful user I will give him the key. But this game is for free, nobody has to lose something.

BTW: I only can post every 360 seconds.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I made a mistake. You asked, if it is "appropriate" for children.

I thought you mean it is only for children. But children use it too (and adults), to orient better.

So the answer is YES on this question:

Do I need to wait 3 more turns or no?  And when you say "last question wins" do you mean only YES questions or both valid yes and no questions?

Wow, that was fast. Congratulations! I will send you the private key via pm. You are also qualified for a new puzzle with a bigger pot. I will send you more details soon.

Explanation:

With a flashlight/torch you can orient yourself better in a dark area.

That's it!

Wait, was it a flashlight or was it a torch?
A torch is not an electronic device nor does it require electricity.
So I guess it's a flashlight, congratz to medUSA.

Many thanks to Sat0shiSecret for a fun and rewarding puzzle!

Lucky for me to have clicked on this topic and all the right questions have been asked and answered
The only doubt I had was why can anyone be so sure that Satoshi bought a flashlight??
I even googled to see if he bought one with the first bitcoins he mined...

(of course nothing popped up)  :D

In my first Topic I posted, that Satoshi is only fictious for this game.
The real Satoshi is a whole puzzle/mystery, I only know that he/she is a human being (or a group of human beings). I assuem he is just like us (but who knows for sure  :D).
That's why I think his name fits for this kind of gambling :).
