So, about the new keyboard, a red switch FILCO Majestouch 3 Ninja with custom case. It is gorgeous!!
Keycaps are nebula themed Dye Sublimation PBT. Put on the purple case, fit perfectly.
Thought about blue switch but it is really annoying when playing game with mic.
Well... enough chatting, and it's time to take the train!

⇧ 4-1

ends June 10endedSo the puzzle ends, I mean the puzzles... Yes, there's two in here!
The first one, the most solved one, is keyboard thing.
It's quite simple, just count from the top left of keyboard(1-1 = 1, 2-1 = q, 3-1 = a...) and ⇧ or shift mean upper case!
I'm sure we all know that QWERTY layout is most popular, even if you are not using it, just google it and check the layout.
The second one, is the old school words counting aka book cipher.
The key is the post itself, and follow the instructions:
2-1 means 2nd line and 1st word and lower case-> keycap
⇧ 4-1 means 4th line and 1st word and upper case -> well
Get all 5 words and pick the first letter and it's done!
While I decided to use keyboard as puzzle, i was little worry that it'll be too hard to solve.
So i come up with the second puzzle, which was my first thought when I saw the number pairs.
I didn't expect that most people go for the first not the second puzzle, the keyboard hint is too strong!
Two puzzles in the same time is probably too aggressive.
It make people think they have solved the puzzle, or i should hint more clearly there's another one.
It's also difficult to track how many people actually solved the both puzzle. Maybe I'll use sgtools next time.
Hope you enjoy the puzzle, see you next time!
