2 questions:
  1. What idea did she have while combing her hair?

  2. Why does her comb have 21 teeth?

Maybe there's an easter egg somewhere and we have to figure it out dude.

But the bticoins are still on the solver addres.

Imho a regular user would immediately sell the coins,  what do you thing guys is this another puzzle ?

How so? Maybe they are not strapped for cash

However, "SheHadTheIdeaWhileCombingHerHair" isn't the answer.

Convert the  Answer as  a ascii into hex   from google  tool  then  take that value  as a WIF PK  and kudos

Good thing I did not spend a lot of time because looks like I will never get with all these ASCII and HEX and WIF PK.
Congratulations to the winner!

Spent several hours on this puzzle, and disappointed by the solution.
It has almost nothing to do with the query, a simple answer.
I still don't get how someone can get this solution, I can think only (since the solution is quite random) forced by an attack or used by an alt of the op.

If this is not an alt it must by a brute force attack.

If you type "WhyTheCombOfNatashaOtomoskiHas21Teeth? filetype:txt" into Google, a file called big.txt will pop up. That's what I believed the .txt part to be. You can browse it yourself, but here are some basic facts:

I've also found this file months ago, and I think is someone who started to put words together to attack it.

However the word

Code:

Combing

is not present.

Code:

def g():
  global big
  big = file('big.txt').read()
  N = len(big)
  s = set()
  for i in xrange(6, N):
    c = big[i]
    if ord(c) > 127 and c not in s:
        print i, c, ord(c), big[max(0, i-10):min(N, i+10)]
        s.add(c)
  print s
  print [ord(c) for c in s]

This should what they used. It is on the end of the page.

It was wasting of time. the puzzle and the answer have not any logical relationship.

[HCP]

the puzzle and the answer have not any logical relationship.

This.

Honestly... I am a bit disappointed in seeing the "solution" to this "puzzle". It isn't really any different to something like:

Q. WhyDidTheChickenCrossTheRoad?.txt
A. BecauseItLikedCrossingRoads



Still, congrats to the solver... however you managed to figure it out. A full write up on the process to get the solution would definitely be appreciated by all.

All in all, it sounds more logical than these funny puzzles.

As I said due the not related at all solution with a puzzle the how he got it seems to be:

- Alt Account

- Brutal Force


This is also supported by the fact that money are still on a virgin address.

Hi to All.

Congratulations to the winner!

I really liked the puzzle, but also not happy with the answer and wanted it to be more logical.

I first saw this challenge back in July and went through all the ideas that were offered by the community.
Some are really great. Based on those ideas I came up with my own solution. Of course it is not correct but I feel it would be more logical.

So, here is my solution.

I also decided to answer to this question literally
Why The "CombOfNatashaOtomoski" Has 21 Teeth?

So, as someone already mentioned 21 teeth = 21 letters in "CombOfNatashaOtomoski".
I tried to find an answer - why 21 teeth?

As it was also mentioned before there is a thing called Univeral Numbering System used by dentists
where each tooth has a letter (only for Primary Dentition, meaning that we are talking about children teeth)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Numbering_System
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/66/c6/12/66c6121aecb46711243c4538e2bdb5d0.jpg

So if we would just count tooth types associated with each letter in "CombOfNatashaOtomoski"
we will have following breakdown:

4  Cuspids (or Canines)   - letters CHMM
7  Incisors  - letters FNOOOOO
10 Molars  - letters  BAAATTSSKI

So the possible answer could be something like:

ThereIs4Cuspids7Incisors10Molars

(or some variety of the phrase but following the same logic)

Anyway it was fun to try to solve it.

Cheers

Months later and BTC are still on the same virgin address  not fishy at all.

For anyone still wondering about the solution:

It probably has been said before, but here again:
Bitcoin is limited to 21 million.

So another way of phrasing the riddle would be:
Why are there 21 million Bitcoins?
Because Satoshi Nakamoto's comb has 21 teeth!
