It was a beautiful treasure hunt, however, at some point the clues became odd (at least I stopped finding a direction ) and.. it ended rater abruptly and strange.
Nice game everybody; thank you Steveturk, thank you NaSCasino.
And congrats to the winner (whoever will that actually be).

so the 3 coins have value 0 because charles babbage is nothing so must the others if the 3 persons must work together?
actually who cares it was overwhelming due to the other letters like AC AT anyways.

yes its 0b1100101. Azure won.
It would make sense; 0b = binary key, 1100101= 101 in binary
yes and with this case = 0b is the key because its indicate binary format.
huuuh. this was soooo nice and cool.
steveturk. when you make next hunt??
March 11, 2015, 06:46:46 AM
yes its 0b1100101. Azure won.
(edit can also be: 7b1100101.because its legit binary formation. so both is correct normally. but standard notation is above )

ok here is what i am going to do, I am contacting the person that had loads of answers and if they can explain how they got the answer I will honour it, else its going to the next person.
does that sound fair ?
does that sound fair ?
Yeah, that sounds kinda fair. How to determine who the next person is?
March 11, 2015, 06:41:04 AM
Yeah it's on Wikipedia:
0b100101 (a prefix indicating binary format, common in programming languages)
6b100101 (a prefix indicating number of bits in binary format, common in programming languages)
0b100101 (a prefix indicating binary format, common in programming languages)

Dude you are the winner just post what you posted before but in single posts
Nah, I think azure said the right answer. Look at what steveturk said: "I love blue skies". Azure is some kind of blue colour. So therefore I think azure has posted the right answer.

someone is going to be pretty pissed with themselves for posting more than one answer ...... (in one post).
b01100101
so you only accept 1 answer per 1 post? because many posted more than 1.
(please look at my other answer above its only 1 answer now)
when people posted a bunch of wrong answers I tend to ignore the rule, as we don't want to spam the forum, but in this instance someone has actually inadvertently posted the correct answer. We don't want people guessing and when the correct answer is posted I want to be sure that that person actually solved the puzzle. Therefore I can only accept a single post as I want to know how the person that won got to the answer

So
AC = 100
CB = 000
AT = 001
So AC+CB+AT = 101
But i still dont know what ask 4 the key means.
101 * 4 = 404 but that doesnt solve anything
AC = 100
CB = 000
AT = 001
So AC+CB+AT = 101
But i still dont know what ask 4 the key means.
101 * 4 = 404 but that doesnt solve anything
wow, we got there in the end, now take the solution (101), ask 4 the key and bin it!
Sounds like we're super close, but obvious question is what is the key?
"ask 4 the key" {read it out loud to yourself}
I'm reading, doesn't help
I see some thought base4 got something to do with it, but why would anyone use base4 to get final answer, doesn't make sense, key should be something that's shown in physical coins.
no it is not soo complicated. i first weekend of this hunt i started coding differencmachine and tried use lambda-notation for abstract form of this formula. but its wrong. the solution and how you calculate is very easy i think. only getting hints and making treasure hunt is little hard. so i think ask for the key can have many meaning:
ask 4 the key = ASCII is beFOR the key - for example the ascii character must be for the key: b01100101
or also mabye: ask 4 the key = key-index of ASCII-char is 4. so its in 5th position - for example: 0110b0101
or also maybe: ask 4 the key = ASCII-character for the keyvalue(101) = e ( so answer can be: be1100101)
but this is only my thinking. i hope it helps you. maybe its wrong.
