Prepare - Uncover - Outwit - Find - WIN!
It's time for the Steemit Crypto Challenge #3. The second Challenge is almost done.
Can you follow your intuition? The first to reveal a hint will win a prize. The first to solve the whole challenge wins a much higher prize.
As always you receive several hints at start:
16-5-15-16-12-5 23-9-12-12 12-15-15-11 6-9-18-19-20 18-9-7-8-20 2-5-6-15-18-5 20-8-5
20-8 1-18-18-9-22-5-19 1-20 12-9-19-20 19-20 15-6 1-12-12 25-15-21 19-8-15-21-12-4 22-5 11-14-15-23-14

Rules, Terms, and Conditions
You will need to employ all of your skills to solve this crypto-puzzle. This isn't for the weak-hearted.
Don't limit your creativity!
Take advantage of:
- Image (and reverse) searches
- Wikis or Encyclopedias
- Filesharing Sites
- Sound, video, and image recording manipulation
We are changing the Hint-System. Receiving hints is no more in relation to the amount of upvotes. Calling for upvotes can be considered as vote buying. We keep it classy. You will receive hints from time to time.
Stay frosty
Don't be limited to the list above, get creative! Apply what you have already learned. Perhaps from the last Challenge. Think you got in the bag? How hard could it be? Several hints are already in place. Open your eyes! Have a look around. But do not get distracted. All submissions are due by Wednesday August, 24 @ 6pm (UTC -4) The First Prize reward is 100% SBD + (237 SBD if Challenge 2 is not solved). The more this post makes, the more you will win (Which will be rolled over if no one is able to solve crypto-puzzles).
Additional Prize: 10SBD per new hint uncovered. (This challenge is not impossible, but you'll feel like it is)
P.s.: Teamwork is what Steemit is all about, don't be afraid to work together. I recommend you to use the chat. There is a channel where you can discuss the challenge: steemitcryptochallenge
Ask people to join. The more people join the easier it might get.
Additional information: If you are into the world of encryption, security and privacy and love to write contact me. I am looking for coauthors writing about these topics. Credits and SBD go to you
Happy hunting,
