It consists of 4 passes, the first pass 0.1 BTC (taken away), the second pass 0.2 BTC, the third pass 0.31 BTC, and the fourth pass is the ultimate prize: 310 BTCs.
The game was released on October 2, 2008. The 0.1 BTC of the first level was taken away by hackers on October 4, and the problem solving process was announced.
One of the most prominent tables in the diagram is a set of 18 hexadecimal digits, with a date on top of the table: 20181002.
Step one: all figures are reduced by 20181002, for example:
511B2033
- 20181002
--
Thirty-one million thirty-one thousand and thirty-one
After all 18 numerical treatments are completed, this is the case:
The second step:
The first line is 310, which coincides with the lucky number 310. It shows that the solution is correct. The following 12 digits are converted to decimal system and get:
4262528131535
1935160310681479
11687568781083
The third step:
A total of 12 digits, familiar with the Bitcoin wallet can associate 12 English word mnemonics, in the BIP39 specification can be found in all 2048 words.
