Here's a 1 BTC puzzle.

At the following GPS Coordinates,

-36.970447, 174.7751929

There is 12 words written on bigger pole.

The twelve words are formatted like this: CamelCaseSwimPuzzleCrab..etc

Base64 Encoded String: QWxwaGFCbGluZENyYWRsZURlbWFuZEVuZXJneUZsaXBGbGF2b3VyRm9yZ2V0TW90aGVyRmF0aGVyRmF zdGVyTW91bnRhaW4=

The string has the private key for this address hidden: 1CaF544ofBf328ctt3BseVNXNzRLqV7MKf

Interesting. Do you need to be physically there to see the 12 words?

For those who might wonder it's on Auckland, New Zealand. I advice not to take this clown 🤡 seriously.

Code:

 Meh.  Can't fly to Auckland right now anyway.  Must be some Kiwi working at the Holiday Inn who can take a walk up the street and check it out.  If nothing else, the 2 km walk there and back will be good for his health.

How about finding a local?
With some specific instruction the local guy can be paid to do the job. Is there any worldwide site which allows hiring users for a contract job. Maybe those freelancing sites can help.

PS: This could be a total waste of time too.

Seems very fake. The coins in that address were deposited back in 2012

AFAIK the BIP-0039 (seed phrase/mnemonic method) was implemented in 2013.. And this 1 BTC is from 2012..

So it's fake.

edit: can be a Electrum seed but I doubt it.

Hello evie-b

How can we know that this puzzle is not fake? Thank you.

Do you think it may have something to do with the solution?

Seems very fake. The address belongs to one of the 2012 Casascius collectible coins. (https://casasciustracker.com/details/?url=%2F%3Fsort%3D11%26page%3D77%26page_size%3D100%26desc%3D1&id=5b60ea8aa86feb072dcc2cfd)

These never stored BIP39 seeds, rather a mini private key. Not that BIP39 was around at that time.
