This time no special skils, patience or knowledge required :) For all that crying that bruteforcing is either too pr0 or too much time waster ;) There's just one simple question this time :)

MzAuMDEgQ29udHJpYi4=

You should Start Here.

UPDATE: A little puzzle troll sneaked in and broke lines 15-17 or 16-18 depends if you're counting from 0 or from 1 - updated version is on - sorry for misconvinience :>

GL!

Only hint you actually need to solve this one:

UPDATE: As you simply don't get it - this hint helps you solve whole damn puzzle, not just one of stages! ;p

00110000 00001101 00001010 00110001 00001101 00001010 00110001 00001101 00001010 00110010 00001101 00001010 00110011 00001101 00001010 00110101 00001101 00001010 00111000 00001101 00001010 00110001 00110011 00001101 00001010 00110010 00110001 00001101 00001010 00110011 00110100 00001101 00001010 00110101 00110101 00001101 00001010 01011011 00101110 00101110 00101110 01011101

Hint: for the QR stage as many ppl cry that they cannot read, or their soft giving them false results: Here it works - tested

Blacklist

Solution:

OK, so now time for the solution ^^ Noone managed to solve this - I'm very dissapointed young puzzle padawans xD

  • Hint: 00110000 00001101 00001010 00110001 00001101 00001010 00110001 00001101 00001010 00110010 00001101 00001010 00110011 00001101 00001010 00110101 00001101 00001010 00111000 00001101 00001010 00110001 00110011 00001101 00001010 00110010 00110001 00001101 00001010 00110011 00110100 00001101 00001010 00110101 00110101 00001101 00001010 01011011 00101110 00101110 00101110 01011101 was binary encoded, while decoded (you could use XLATE for example), it would translate into this:
    0
    1
    1
    2
    3
    5
    8
    13
    21
    34
    55
    [...]
    It's a mathematical sequence called Fibonacci Sequence - you could google it by putting those numbers into search engine.

  • The Starting image was an altered QR code. Altered how? This QR code was 25x25 squares. Each line has been moved to the right by corresponding number of Fibonacci Sequence look here. So 1st line was not moved, 2nd line was moved by 1 square, 3rd by 1 square, 4th by 2, 5th by 3, 6th by 5 and so on and on. In order to geat a proper QR code you were supposed to move each line to the left - this part quite a few ppl managed to do :> The un-altered QR codo looked like this.

  • You should then decode QR code - no need for Smartphone, I even gave you link to the site that would decode it for you :) When decoded it gave you this string: TyAt0QgL.

  • It was a code for puzzle on itstoohard: http://www.itstoohard.com/puzzle/TyAt0QgL.

  • In puzzle you had just one question with added image :>
    Question: 01100100000011001001101110101001001111010011111 Image:here. If you waited 6 hours without solving it a hint would appear saying "Something is missing maybe? :> Just guess what :>".

  • Well - just as hint said - something was missing :> Remember like I told you that the hint in the topic was the ONLY hint you needed? The 9 characters have been cut from binary code in question :> 1st,2nd,3rd,5th,8th,13th,21st,34th and 55th :> So all Numbers from Fibonacci Sequence. If added to question it would look like this(numbers in [ ] are the missing characters): [1][2][3]0[5]11[8]0010[13]0000011[21]001001101110[34]10100100111101001111[55]1 .

  • The Image represented binary numbers. White square meant 0 while black square meant 1. So the missing characters were 010001001. 0 was 1st, 1 was 2nd, 0 3rd, 0 5th and so on and on. While added to a question, the full question would look like this: 01000110001010000011000100110111001010010011110100111111

  • The decoded question was: F(17)=? So it was asking you for the 17th number of Fibonacci Sequence. The answer was 1597. (Puzzle accepted both binary encoded answers and simple decimal number).

  • After solving the puzzle you would get this image. Again White = 0, Black = 1. Yet it was not so easy to encode :) You couldn't just move left to right, up to down. One last time you needed Fibonacci Sequence :)

  • From Wikipedia (or anywhere else) you could find a picture. It's fairly common presentation of Fibonacci Sequence where each square side has a length of next fibonacci number. So you were supposed to get corresponding characters first from both sqares 1, then from square 2, then from square 3, then square 5 and finally square 8. If done correctly it would give you this: 00111110001111100011111000100000010101000101010101100100010001010101011000100000001111000011110000111100.

  • After decoding this simple binary code you would finally get final solution, which was >>> TUdEV <<< and it was code for the giveaway.

Thanks all who gave my puzzle a shot! And Good Luck on Next Ones - you're gonna need it xD
