Unlock the $20 Challenge: Your Guide to Success

Chapter 1: Introduction to the Challenge
In this post, there’s a chance to win $20.
Over the past month, I've been sharing details about my ongoing egg hunt/capture the flag event. Initially, I set a prize of $20, but so far, no one has cracked the code. This article will provide a comprehensive guide on how to navigate through the challenge and potentially seize the $20 reward. To qualify for this reward, you must thoroughly read this entire post.
Here’s how the challenge begins: Finding the lock
The first task in this challenge involves locating the website hidden in the original post. I included a series of specific numbers: 13, 9, 16, 225, 5, and 19.
When rearranged to form an IP address, these numbers reveal:
Navigating to this address leads you to a webpage that looks like this:
Here, you’ll find three input fields, and determining the next steps can be quite challenging. My suggestion is to examine the HTML source code. Within the HTML, you will find these input tags:
Each input field has a designated ID: 'mean', 'b64', and 'unk'.
The 'mean' correlates to the average value mentioned in the original post, which is 66.25. The 'b64' relates to Base64 data, which is concealed somewhere in the initial post. This information can be found in the caption of the main post image:
Clicking the link redirects you to the original image, where you will uncover the Base64 code we need.
We can confirm that “dGhpcyBpcyB0aGUga2V5IHRvIHRoZSBsb2Nr” is indeed the Base64 string we are searching for since it decodes to “this is the key to the lock”.
By entering all these values correctly, you will arrive at the solution to the puzzle. Best of luck! Please note, I’m setting a one-week deadline for solving this challenge before it closes.
