Last step in scavenger hunt, I don't understand the question. Is it supposed to be broken English?

Ah yes, as I expected, still trying variations of my answer, thanks :)
edit: Nope, going nuts trying the same things twice now probably.

So, a short update:
I accidently solved one puzzle myself, damn it.
And i removed the last cipher on the code puzzle, because it isn't case sensitive, you can't solve the puzzle without that.

Btw just exclude me on cipher puzzles...suck on that

For the cipher
Atbash -> Base64 -> Baudot-Murray
and I get this "03831 06978 83670 69697 66445 4"
Can't find what this one is.
edit: It's a kind of an One Time Pad called Tapir.

Thanks! Had not arrived at Baudot-Murray yet... hmmm...the blocks of five made me think one time pad, but i guess that does not fit here... the blocks of 5 are not even relevant for the OTP, it's just somehow how it looks in my head from pics I saw concerning it :P

Care to share the link? Because R in the TAPIR table is 4, while the code starts with 3, so I disregarded TAPIR when I tried to crack the code :-/

Huh? Oh, the solution is really "AN EASY PASSWORD" and not "RIGHT AN EASY PASSWORD" or something like that... I guess the "RIGHT" part was only for the in between steps... I did not share the link cause I used a German site for it...

Damn it! OP said that every step will start with "right"...

Bump. 9 hours in and the only puzzle left is the one i have no idea about.

I just saw this thread. Everything is already solved? Woot ? :O

Well five giveaways are found. So just sharing some simple thoughts. It may be likely that the five categories are hiding a five character code. So maybe every giveaway after the ITH contains information for one character. The pictures themselves are linked from other sites so there is no chance that they are modified. It may have to do something with what they show.
- 10 Mark Schein => Password: Carl Friedrich Gauß
- no picture but a code => No idea: I tried this atbash but didn't get anything meaningful. Are you sure about atbash anyway? It seems it can be used on anything. Or did I misunderstand the prior post?
- a red ribbon (R?) => Password: Red Ribbon
- an old book cover for the Buddenbrooks => Password: Buddenbrooks
- Pixels movie logo => Password: Pixels
Other than those obvious things I don't have much ideas at the moment.
EDIT: I don't know how and why we should form groups for this one beside helping each other. Unless SGTools has some weird rule choices.

there's actually a place to put code words... I already entered Buddenbrooks and Pixels...

Yea, I literally found it a minute after my post and added the Red Ribbon and Carl Friedrich Gauss. Since this is a group puzzle I think it is fine to tell where it is to the rest: If you check the source code of this page you will see a sixth ITH after the first five.

Maybe there's more to the attached pictures than we think. For example the 10 mark Schein may result in a "4" from "Serie4" of its name.
Comment has been collapsed.
Then 10 mark Schein I already "solved" in the sixth ITH.

The atbash thing was about how to solve the puzzle itself... it's a replacement like rot13... but this is not something atbash should work on... looks more like a cd key to me :P
Comment has been collapsed.
yes, exactly that: helping each other. nothing more.

Bump
Noone got any good idea what the code on the cipher GA means?
20 chars, grouped 3-5-3-5-4. contains lower case letters and numbers. It looks like a key or a serial number or something to me but I have no idea for what...
Comment has been collapsed.
They could be all Base-36 numbers. If so, they can be converted into Decimal: 7618-10803431-6779-52423760-242579
Comment has been collapsed.
Hm, just an idea. Are those lines to draw? Then 5vm would be an "L" and 58b would be a "7", v7mfk could be an "A"?, 576b a "t" and no idea for the last one. It may also differ in which country you live (different keyboards here and there). But it produces nothing meaningful ..... But is is strange how there are only used few numbers and letters in the center area of the keyboad. Maybe I'll try some passwords later on.

Wow, that's actually it... the last one was a 4. guess oligovore also has a german keyboard :-D
Now this one technically has my name below it, but all the praise for that one goes to you!
Comment has been collapsed.
Heh, who would have thought it. Even the suggested characters have been right ^^. Well, it doesn't matter what name is standing there. We solved it and that is everything that counts.
Comment has been collapsed.
true story.
if nobody would get it i wanted to give a hint like "if you are from germany, you 100% can solve it."
Comment has been collapsed.
This would probably irritate me without end. The keyboard layout would be the last thing I consider after this phrase O.o Then again, all went well and the community has some nice giveaways if they are not too lazy to read the comment section ....
Comment has been collapsed.
Amazing that you could cipher this. :O
However I tried the obvious GA with the 5 characters you two mentioned but did not work. :S Well done regardless.
Comment has been collapsed.
MAN! How do I keep missing these awesome group puzzles! Pls message me someone when the next one comes round.... Thanksss so much for these oligovore!

i think i will message you personally next time :D

Hello puzzle solvers, good to see you again!
I have something diabolical for you:
the SG community puzzle 2 - one step up!
Those who participated in my first puzzle know it:
it was solved really fast. Too fast if you ask me.
So I decided to challenge you again, but this time, it will be harder. And will hopefully take longer.
You really will have to form groups for the different parts of the puzzle.
End date of the GAs is the 5th March.
There are 5 different categories this time:
*last one
I will try to do my very best to make sure the puzzle is as hard as possible without beeing unfair.
But you will see: its much more fun like that!
As last time, pls read this:
i want you to:
i don't want you to:
The is a total of 12 games given away, all just protected by the puzzle and SG tools.
