So finally I can take a look at it. Yes the first possible prime was 17. Didn't think of converting it back to a letter.  Very well done and thanks for the ride. Glad I can get some sleep again :-D Great work lhvleao solving the last bit. I had a tunnelvision with the primes. And thanks IQCASH for the great puzzle. Keep 'em coming! -Neal |

Congratulations to lhvleao. Had to work this evening So no time to puzzel. Will check Tomorrowfor my solutions. Off to bed now. Thanks iqcash for the great puzzle. Had a blast. Check you guys in couple of hours.

I think the A2 is a red herring.
And About the breakthrouh, I thought he meant the second breaktrhough. Alphabet to Numbers.

So what do we see at flip side of the coin? IQ logo Primes from 2 to 101 5 x IQCash Currency instead of 4 x IQCash on the puzzle side 5 x 4 blocks instead of 8 x 4 blocks on the puzzle side hints: If it helps, I never said it was the primes that would help confirm the final step, just 'something' on the other side. That may or may not be the primes. Better to solve the puzzle first, then turn it over to check.160 - 107 = 53 --> That's not the answer, but the answer is just as easy.
There's no reason it must be a prime either.Hurdles taken: 1. squares to letters (IQ CASH CRYPTO currency) 2. letters to numbers (alphabetical wise --> a=1, b=2) 3. final step ? Now what are we missing here  |

New approach.
On the coin next to the text 'IQ Cash cryptocurrency' there is a symbol made from 4 little blocks.
If I use these blocks in the puzzle around the questionmark, I find the numbers: 19 + 23+ 18 + 1. This makes a total of 61.
The answer is 61
When I flip the coin, you can see the number 61 right beneath the four little blocks to confirm the solution.
Nope. Too bad. Without a proper hint I'm out of ideas You just missed one. really?!?!?!? |

New day, new oppertunities.
If I substract 107 (currency) from 160 (IQCASHCRYPTO) it leaves us 53.
Use front of coin to check if its prime. It is.
So my answer is 53
probably to easy....
That's not the answer, but the answer is just as easy. There's no reason it must be a prime either. Ok so maybe we need to use the prime numbers in a different way. Extract the total of the prime numbers (84) from the total of the non prime numbers (183). This leaves us with the easy answer of 99Which is also the atomic number of Einsteinium  Ha! Tunnelvision alright. If it helps, I never said it was the primes that would help confirm the final step, just 'something' on the other side. That may or may not be the primes. Better to solve the puzzle first, then turn it over to check. That's right. To prime or not to prime.... So back to the drawing board!  |

That's not the answer, but the answer is just as easy. There's no reason it must be a prime either. I've got tunnelvision. Because you said 'It's not necessary to figure out the puzzle, but it can be used to confirm the solution.'Thats why I'm trying probably to hard on primes.... |

He said that we could use the front to verify. So probably its a prime number.
Hmmm....
|
|
|
|
(9+3+3) + (16+18+15) =64
(17+3+8) + (11+5+20) =64
45 + 64 = 109 (prime number)
(H == 8 )
H2=64
H = Human
Looks very plausible In that case it could also be Hn or H' for Greek notation |
|

H2
You need to give an explanation in order to win.... |

New approach.
after conversion from letters to numbers, not all numbers are prime. So when I only add up the primes (17,3,19,3,23(25-2),3,11,5) you'll get 84.
Now 84 isn't prime. Next prime value is 89. Off by 5.
So the answer will be 5 because this is also a prime number.

If someone comes in now and gets the correct answer, it will be off the back of other's work. So, it's really been a team effort.
It's only fair that contributors who were first to make breakthrough steps will receive a consolation prize TBD.
The first was obviously the conversion of the symbols to characters of the English alphabet.
Of the last 9 guesses above, there was one of these breakthroughs.
There is one to go.
Can't see what I'm missing here. conversion, substract, involution, adding up, prime numbers from the front........ |

My answer is 7, though I think it's a shot in the dark.
The thing that makes me think we're not exactly on the right track though is why he'd bother putting aČ if it was just going to represent 1 either way, why not just put a?
Could just be a red herring. |

....On the other side of the coin the only missing prime is 41. So 41 must be in the equation....
41 is not the only prime that is misscing on the front. So I think that aint it. |

I forgot 1 x 1= 1
and 25 - 2 = 23
adding all is 267
off by 2 for next prime
The answer is PRIME2
or 2
or Greek notation B'
