A sponsor has posted a puzzle thread on a few of the other boards. I know you guys are a lot smarter than the zoo, go dominate! Apparently those who solve it win a pretty cool prize...

cool - in football forum too

That "puzzle thread" is confusing. Not puzzling. Just confusing.

Nobody recognizes a Hash?

Here's where the guys on the premium board are:

1) The random codes are base64 hash. If you decode it (you can do that here), you get this link: https://collegestation.craigslist.org/crg/5419196670.html

2) Call the number on the craigslist ad and you get this URL: http://nikitastnt.blogspot.com/

3) On that page, you get this picture and some text:

Nikki, ya know rarely are things colored clearly or even starkly black & white. It's usually a shade in between.

That ultimately leads to this link: http://daniki.org/alpha.htm

4) The QR code on that page gives you the following coordinates: Lat 30.610899 Long -96.342198

As of now, a couple of people have been out there and haven't found anything. So far that's where everything is at.

In the HTML code - there's this link that points to a mailbox/phone on streetview.

And then there are these...



Looks like they locked down the path, but here are the pictures...

IS it still going on? I don't have premium but I'd like to know what happens.

here's an update from user whitetail from premium forum

1. Post from texags sponsers:

2. Cuppy converts it to: https://collegestation.craigslist.org/crg/5419196670.html
3. Cuppy calls number and gets GOO.GL/A9S2YO takes us to http://nikitastnt.blogspot.com/
4. Blog picture and message get you to read the grey text to get https://goo.gl/4wGACu <- although there is actually another w in the picture. The code takes you here: http://daniki.org/alpha.htm.

Note: https://goo.gl/maps/6vhhp4RCx3x listed in source code which points directly at the phone from google maps street view.

And here we are...

So far they've solved several puzzles and it has lead to this spot. There is a clue there apparently but nobody has found it. I'm not sure how many people have actually even gone out to look...



Somebody has gone to a lot of trouble though, it can't be over yet.

I want to play along but apparently it's all in premium. Us poors can't even play with the sponsors.

it's the same exact post but some users in premium are discussing it in the forum - this is as far as they've got we're waiting on someone to go out there and see if they can find something

Well yeah, but I didn't even realize anyone had made it this far until I clicked over here.

Has anyone looked at the locations of the three points in the map above? Don't have premium...

I went to the given coordinates and all I found was a container of ovaltine

I posted this in premium too but we went to the site and found the next clue. It has a QR Code on it that leads to another website. We put the clue back - it's not hard to find if you get to that location...

Well that's no fun for people not close

For those of you who want to play along, I just read through the premium thread. There should be five puzzles total, the clue from the first puzzle was the card pictured above. It had a QR code that leads to this url: http://daniki.org/beta-waypoint2.htm

That was the latest update, they're still trying to figure it out. A lot of the clues have been found in the source code of these sites, so go through them closely.

Yeah probably. There is one in College Station now, I noticed it when I was up there last weekend. The puzzles could still be fun to solve though.

premium just found the next one - led to this page (http://daniki.org/gamma0.5.htm)

This reminds me of an episode of Person of Interest. The winner ended up getting the opportunity to work for a super computer.

Morse equals http://daniki.org/way3-point-gamma.htm
Which leads to QR of geo coordinates for https://goo.gl/maps/G1iHLefJDnw
And a hint of https://goo.gl/maps/TQAdiYYrsWP2

spanky found a clue on premium

Nik?!

Got your email! Just need to get you to solve one more thing to confirm it's really you. go to http://daniki.co/ and follow instructions.

See you soon!

Somebody way smarter than me can probably figure this out, but I'm thinking we might have to just wait on it

http://daniki.co/

I have a feeling each code is based on the time; maybe a base6 conversion.

How did they get more segments? I only see the one on the website unless I'm missing something.

there's a new one every 15 minutes - it only shows one at a time - someone is compiling all the ones they've gotten so far
