This month is my birthday, and I wanted to give back, especially after a couple of very generous SG users gifted me games I really wanted for a long time, during a hard month of my life. Thank you again.
Solve this puzzle for a chance to win some trash games, but also

As always, I will provide hints only if nobody manages to get it, and will provide a solution when this ends.


Hop in, this is my first train! It's so shiny and clean, I hope nothing bad happens to it.
On an unrelated note, did you know that "binary" and "railtrack" translate to the same word in Italian?
...
A wall! Who would build one in the middle of the binary, I mean railtrack!?!?


Solution

  • The word binary is bolded. Binary is usually grouped into sets of eight bits, and each bit can be a zero or a one.
  • The bricks that stand out are 5 rows of 8 bricks, it's fair to assume each row is a binary encoded character
  • When it comes to binary, it's also fair to assume that the first bit is gonna be a zero.
  • Lighter bricks are zeroes while darker bits are ones.
  • The code becomes 01110011 00110001 01111000 01000110 01010110 which translates to s1xFV.

Look for the clues in OP, and know what you need for the giveaways. There is a very clear connection with a minute or who using google/the internet ^^

So, the solution to the riddle is that the speaker is not on a train track at all; they are on a computer track, represented by binary code. When they encounter the "wall," it's not a physical barrier but rather the end of the track of ones and zeroes. The mention of the train and the shiny, clean environment is a misdirection to make the reader think of a physical train track.
