Puzzle 2 Guess:ARE

 

Wow that was fast. Guess difficulty was… lacking. Are you on UZB discord?

 

He's Huwubwis

 

Alright since I got it right I should probably explain this

Spoiler: PUZZLE 2 SOLUTION

This puzzle requires both knowledge of morse code and unicode
part 1:
045, 045, 045, 045, 045: 046, 045, 045, 045, 045: 045, 045, 045, 045, 045: 045, 045, 045, 045, 045: 045, 045, 045, 045, 045: 045, 045, 045, 045, 045: 046, 045, 045, 045, 045

Unicode #45 is "-"
Unicode #46 is "."
Use this as morse code you get
----- .---- ----- ----- ----- .----
which is a typo
it is missing a 0
anyways you should get:
0100001
Unicode for 0100001/33 is "A"

048, 048, 049, 048, 049, 049, 049, 048: 048, 048, 049, 048, 049, 049, 048: 048, 048, 049, 048, 049, 049, 049, 048


Unicode #48 is "0"
Unicode #49 is "1"
there is another typo here where it is missing a 049 but if you add that you should get:
00101110/46/.

00101101/45/-

00101110/46/.

Which is morse code for "R"


048, 048, 049, 049, 048, 048, 048, 048: 048, 048, 049, 049, 048, 048, 048, 049: 048, 048, 049, 049, 048, 048, 048, 048: 048, 048, 049, 049, 048, 048, 048, 048: 048, 048, 049, 049, 048, 048, 048, 048: 048, 048, 049, 049, 048, 048, 048, 049: 048, 048, 049, 049, 048, 048, 048, 048: 048, 048, 049, 049, 048, 048, 048, 049


This one is simple
just convert into binary and get:
00110000/48
00110001/49
00110000/48
00110000/48
00110000/48
00110001/49
00110000/48
00110001/49

Which is binary again and gets you:
01000101/69
Which is Unicode for "E"

put those together to get
"ARE"

 

God dang it I knew there was a typo I messily control c+ved everything. Anyways yes.

 

damn that was fast

 

Yes I toned down the difficulty 100x. Don’t expect #3 to be anywhere near as fast.

________________________________

It will take a while to write it so please be patient. (I also need to get the funds…)

 

I saw the solution before the riddle lmao.

Also, how do you know this stuff.

Also also, maybe do a riddle to do with different fonts that would be funny.

 

Perhaps, if you wanted them to do such a puzzle, you shouldn't've said that publicly.

 

I mean, if there were just random fonts in a riddle it would be pretty obvious it may have something to do with fonts lol. but fair enough.

 

where is puzzle 3?

 

Don’t have the money plus out of ideas. Soon ish?

 

smh. we're all waiting :3. dw, the first two were really good and I think everyone enjoyed them. keep up the good work!

 

I’ve started work on riddle number three. The problem is balancing because riddle number 1 was hard while number 2 was (relatively) easy. I think after one or two more layers of encryption it should be ready but the string that I need to encrypt is soooooo long.

 

Bump. Puzzle 3 coming soon!

 

Me when the riddle post is actually a cipher

 

Fixed it. Problem is that now people are expecting things that I have to avoid. ATM I am deciding if I want to encrypt farther or just post it.

 

Puzzle 3 posted! Have fun. Please don’t get it in 30 minutes :(

 

I saw the tag and joined uzb

 

did you check for typos this time? this is hard enough without them.
