someone is going to be pretty pissed with themselves for posting more than one answer ...... (in one post).  

Does that mean you have to post only 1 answer in 1 post?

i also do not understand why is this now so because before we all post more than one.
also please write clear rules. so in t&c only it say: "Bitcoin Treasure Hunters can claim the 1BTC Physical Bitcoin by providing the solution on the public bitcointalk forum on this thread ". so no information we only allowed for 1 post with 1 answer.

other option because now other copy my solutions:
10100110b

I hope someone wins this soon.  My guess 0101b0101

[ca333]

or 1010b0110 
(with reversing view)

[ca333]

or also case sens: 0110B0101

So steve said that someone got the solution already??

So
AC = 100
CB = 000
AT = 001

 So AC+CB+AT = 101

But i still dont know what ask 4 the key means.

101 * 4 = 404 but that doesnt solve anything

wow, we got there in the end, now take the solution (101), ask 4 the key and bin it!

Sounds like we're super close, but obvious question is what is the key?  

"ask 4 the key" {read it out loud to yourself}

I'm reading, doesn't help  

I see some thought base4 got something to do with it, but why would anyone use base4 to get final answer, doesn't make sense, key should be something that's shown in physical coins.

no it is not soo complicated. i first weekend of this hunt i started coding differencmachine and tried use lambda-notation for abstract form of this formula. but its wrong. the solution and how you calculate is very easy i think. only getting hints and making treasure hunt is little hard. so i think ask for the key can have many meaning:

ask 4 the key = ASCII is beFOR the key - for example the ascii character must be for the key: b01100101

or also mabye: ask 4 the key = key-index of ASCII-char is 4. so its in 5th position - for example: 0110b0101

or also maybe: ask 4 the key = ASCII-character for the keyvalue(101) = e ( so answer can be:  be1100101)


but this is only my thinking. i hope it helps you. maybe its wrong.

b01100101

so you only accept 1 answer per 1 post? because many posted more than 1.

(please look at my other answer above its only 1 answer now)

when people posted a bunch of wrong answers I tend to ignore the rule, as we don't want to spam the forum, but in this instance someone has actually inadvertently posted the correct answer. We don't want people guessing and when the correct answer is posted I want to be sure that that person actually solved the puzzle. Therefore I can only accept a single post as I want to know how the person that won got to the answer

Nah, I think azure said the right answer. Look at what steveturk said: "I love blue skies". Azure is some kind of blue colour. So therefore I think azure has posted the right answer.

ok here is what i am going to do, I am contacting the person that had loads of answers and if they can explain how they got the answer I will honour it, else its going to the next person.

does that sound fair ?
