What is cryptography? 

 

Noun: 

  1. The practice of analysing encoded messages, in order to decode them.
  2. Secret or enigmatical language.

Game Rules:

 

  • Whoever solves the puzzle has to post their own. The next person who solves that subsequent puzzle has to then post a new puzzle.
  • The puzzles can range in difficulty from riddles (easy) to more advanced computers related topics such as Steganography, or even logic (boolean) math. The possibilities are endless.
  • You are allowed to give out hints, and leave suggestions pointing people towards the right direction.

With that all said and done I'll start the game off:

Hint, you can't see it readily. Take a closer look  :P .

I don't get it. LTT logo?

The image is made up of data. Maybe there is a hidden message, in that data...

 

Explanation:

Open the .PNG file in a text editing program such as Notepad++ or Limetext. There you will find the hidden message

BOOM

You put the Fibonacci numbers in there.

The placement of the artifacts in the image corresponds with the location of the message. Yours was about 2/3 of the way down so I started there and found it quickly.

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).

Off topic. It is a Game! 

You don't have to play if you don't want to.

Since you are going to ruin the fun:

Yuppers, mine was pretty easy but I'm pretty tired right now. Your turn to make one.
