Solve to unlock Pepecoin prize wallet containing Ᵽ240,000.* Prize wallet address: PYyguWa2FWgpwkFVjxCzUY138WvWCZ4K7n.
I encrypted and printed my 24 word seed phrase on 16 different pieces of paper (using 16 different printers just to be safe!).
I then used the 16 print-outs to decorate my living room. Stupidly, I didn’t realise how sunny my place is and now they have all faded!
I can only recover my seed phrase if I work out what was on each piece of paper. I have a fren who will examine the printers’ cartridges, but they’re charging 15,000 PEP per printer!
Unfortunately, I’ve run out of PEP, so I’m hoping anyone who wants to help recover my seed phrase can chip in …
* This puzzle will only be solvable when the Prize wallet is fully funded. For every 15,000 PEP contributed, one of the 16 required pieces of the puzzle will be added to this page.
A starting amount of 15,000 PEP + 225,000 PEP will give a total prize of 240,000 PEP.
🧩1:
deminimis0: hey fren, thanks for looking at the printers for me
Fren: No worries, deminimis0. I see there's enough in the wallet to cover the first printer, so I’ll start examining it now.
Fren: I’m not sure why you need this info, but if you only used this printer to print a single block of color then the color must have comprised 40.91% cyan, no magenta, 4.55% yellow and 65.49% black.
Fren: I’ve had to round those to two decimal places, but that’s as accurate as I can get.
deminimis0: thanks fren
deminimis0: hopefully some more PEP will be added to the wallet soon
