Converting all letters to numbers alphabetical wise. Middle 3 rows all add up the same to 90+45+68 = 203. But 203 isnt prime number. To make it a prime the next prime number is 211. So we are 8 off.

The center square should read 8
or in greek notation H´

No, but getting warmer.

No, but getting warmer.

Adding them all up together wil get 267. This aint a prime. The next prime is 269. So off by 2.

answer 2

Nope.

[JeremyB]

Adding all together is 265, 267 - 2 (because y - 2).
Next prime is 269, so the answer is 4 or 2^2 or b^2 (beta B)

[lhvleao]

The answer is 22

[iQCash]

No correct answer yet.

Will be off-line for 6 hours.

[cryptoneal]

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'

The answer is L. The sum of 3rd column minus 2nd column and 3rd column minus 4th column are equal (without third row). The answer should be the average of 1(2nd column 3rd row) and 23(4th column 3rd row) which is 12. Latin 12th letter is l(L). The answer is in lowercase since all other lined squares have lowercase letters. Used same valuations with BudBudderly from highiqforum.

As second guess because currency spelling is read in lined squares. The letter L symbolizes Litecoin, which is Ł.

Another try. If you take the picture from the https://www.highiqforum.com/threads/contest-solve-the-puzzle-to-win-bitcoin.3311/page-3 post.
90 is the sum of 2 consecutive primes: 43 + 47.
68 is the sum of 2 consecutive primes: 31 + 37.
45 is the sum of all letters without the missing value.
On the other side of the coin the only missing prime is 41. So 41 must be in the equation.
So a guess could be -4 (45 - 4 = 41) or -2^2 or -b^2 or -D (delta)

Else we have:
* 37+41 = 78
* 41+43 = 84

So other guesses are:
* 78 - 45 = 33
* 84 - 45 = 39

....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.

Maybe it's 34

90 , 45 + X , 68

45=90/2
X=68/2

X=34

My answer is 7, though I think it's a shot in the dark.

The three rows and columns currently sum up to 203.
The sum of the two solved rows = 90 and 68, both numbers that are the sum of 2 successive primes.
If we place 7 in the center, we get the sum of both three rows and columns each equalling 210 (again the sum of 2 successive primes, 103+107).
Also the middle row and column then sums to 52, another sum of two successive primes (23+29).



The thing that makes me think we're not exactly on the right track though is why he'd bother putting a² if it was just going to represent 1 either way, why not just put a?

Could just be a red herring.

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 it be the letter Mu (μ).

Can't see what I'm missing here. conversion, substract, involution, adding up, prime numbers from the front........
