x0r Scavenger Hunt Solution Guide

Step 1: private_key

• In the center of the key, there is the following base64 encoded string: IFhYWCBtaW1pYyBhdXR1bW4gcGl6emEgcGl0Y2ggWFhYIHVuZmFpciBwdXBweSBYWFggcm9hZCBmb3N0ZXIgWFhYIA==
• The decoded base64 string is “XXX mimic autumn pizza pitch XXX unfair puppy XXX road foster XXX”
  • You can use this website to decode: https://www.base64decode.org/
• The XXX’s need to be replaced with other words scattered throughout the collection

Step 2: bank

• The word “payment” is above the door of the bank.
• The position of the word “payment” in the seed phrase is 6 because the last digit of the price on Nifty Gateway ($366) is a 6

Step 3: elliptic

• The center of the elliptic curves contains two binary numbers that you must concatenate together to form this binary number: 011100010011
• Convert this binary number to decimal to get 1811
• There are 2048 possible words in a seed phrase according to BIP-39. Those 2048 words are in a specific order. The word at position 1811 in that list is “time.”
• You can find the list here https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt.
• “time” is at the 9th position in the seed phrase because the last digit of the price on Nifty Gateway ($589) is a 9

Step 4: pseudo

• There are 3 different pairs of dice in the GIF. For each pair, count the dots on each die to form a 2 digit number. The three numbers are 83 65 89
• Convert each number to an ASCII letter to find the word “say.”
• You can use this website to convert from decimal to ASCII: https://www.rapidtables.com/convert/number/ascii-hex-bin-dec-converter.html
• “Say” is the first word of the seed phrase because the last digit of the price on Nifty Gateway($331) is a 1

Step 5: oracle

• The final word of the seed phrase is “eye,” and the oracle is an image of an eye. 

Step 6: Putting it all together

• The entire seed phrase is: say mimic autumn pizza pitch payment unfair puppy time road foster eye
