Wait, was it a flashlight or was it a torch?
A torch is not an electronic device nor does it require electricity.


It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Many thanks to Sat0shiSecret for a fun and rewarding puzzle!

Lucky for me to have clicked on this topic and all the right questions have been asked and answered
The only doubt I had was why can anyone be so sure that Satoshi bought a flashlight??
I even googled to see if he bought one with the first bitcoins he mined...

(of course nothing popped up)  Cheesy

In my first Topic I posted, that Satoshi is only fictious for this game.
The real Satoshi is a whole puzzle/mystery, I only know that he/she is a human being (or a group of human beings). I assuem he is just like us (but who knows for sure  Cheesy).
That's why I think his name fits for this kind of gambling Smiley.

Is it a flashlight/torch?

YES
Wow, that was fast. Congratulations! I will send you the private key via pm. You are also qualified for a new puzzle with a bigger pot. I will send you more details soon.

Explanation:

With a flashlight/torch you can orient yourself better in a dark area.

That's it!

@all

There is another puzzle (for everyone), but only until the end of december. Please read the rules!:

A torch is not an electronic device nor does it require electricity.
So I guess it's a flashlight, congratz to medUSA.

@OP that was fun, it involved a lot of my mindless guessing Wink  Thank you!

Thanks, I had fun too Smiley.
In the UK some people say torchlight instead of flashlight. Both is right.

Does this device have the ability to capture photos without implementing webcam?

Stupid question, but it would actually narrow it down a bit.

No. Please wait three questions.

Ok, I'll ask something else then o.O

Does it have something to do with a computer/computer parts?

No.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I made a mistake. You asked, if it is "appropriate" for children.

I thought you mean it is only for children. But children use it too (and adults), to orient better.

So the answer is YES on this question:

YES Private Key: 5Jd6FDgZm___________________________

Excuse me, it won't happen again!

EDIT: You can ask again


Arrgg, this will take many guesses for me lol.
Do I need to wait 3 more turns or no?  And when you say "last question wins" do you mean only YES questions or both valid yes and no questions?

No you can ask. Sorry, like i said. It won't happen again, I answered too quickly.

"Last-question-wins" means last valid question. Doesn't matter if YES or NO.

Wait for ? to be answered before asking a new one.

I'm pretty sure I followed every single rule, what are you talking about?

Wait for question to be answered before asking another one.  The post before yours has a question.....

But this question was invalid because the participant is a "newbie". Monbux has to wait because of the "wait-three-questions-after-no" rule.

Also, you should give the private key to an escrow for them to hold onto the funds.


YES Private Key: 5Jd____________________________

Additional Information: YES for the first world. In the third world I wouldn't say "widely".

Well, if you find some trustful user I will give him the key. But this game is for free, nobody has to lose something.
