maybe question 2 is a trick question as it contains 2 locations.

George Harrison, the lead guitarist of the Beatles. died 29 November 2001.

He was cremated and his ashes were scattered in the Ganges and Yamuna rivers in India, in a private ceremony according to Hindu tradition

[Edit USA is not an answer anymore]~~if not that then maybe John Lennon who's ashes were scattered in New York City's Central Park, in the area now known as Strawberry Fields.~~

[edit 2] a guess at the code. the only 9 lettered english word I could find containing ACCB is accumbent - 'lying down; in a position of comfort or rest' so it kinda fits the graveyard and dead thing.

I like your thinking. Long way to go though.

Charles Babbage who invented the difference engine.

Kensal Green Cemetery.
Greater London, England
Plot: Square 84, Grave 23003, east side of path.

If you'd read the OP you'd see that clue #3 is already solved. And yes, you are correct.

However:

Is it Cairo?

Can it be cities or just cemeteries? Wink

A "City" would be too broad an answer. Who said it was just cemeteries?

The contest seemed to have an obsession with cemeteries and computer science.

Bran Castle, Romania.

Dracula was a computer geek addicted to Bitcoin when he was little.

Père Lachaise Cemetery ?

Can you confirm this is not the answer to the second clue?

I also want to know whehter it is not New Lanark. I don't remember now how I connected it. Tongue

I can confirm that it is not. (keep an eye on the first post of the thread, all the wrong answers are updated there periodically.)

It wasn't likely to be the answer. I was guessing it will be a cemetery too.

I should have thought it would be in Asia. But then, there are not many cemeteries there, right?

Edit:
In the 1980s, a grave of an Eleanor Rigby was "discovered" in the graveyard of St. Peter's Parish Church in Woolton?

Shouldn't there be some kind of consolation prizes? Anyone could simply watch this thread and jump to the answer and get the prize.

That will be very disapointing to those who cracked those 2 virtual coins.
I was right on track with the first clue, but I haddn't found this thread.
With the third one, I went a completely different way, lol. I caught another train from another planet. Wink

I understand the sentiment, the goal is firstly to increase bitcoin adoption and raise community involvement. Secondly, we also then want to get exposure for our site, as well as publicity for other bitcoin companies. We therefore only have one "valuable" treasure which was co-sponsored by TGBEX (so we can raise awareness of their product too).

We feel that the fact there is only one treasure still accomplishes our above goals.

I am not a supporter of sig campaigns, not necessarily the concept, but more the result (companies competing for advertising space indirectly encouraging spam posts).

I hope our approach is recognised as "different" and everyone enjoys the Treasure Hunt.

Look at it the same you would as building a puzzle. There is no fun in someone else building it and you just come and complete the last piece.... You haven't really built the puzzle and there is no real satisfaction.

Yeah you are right.

I am very happy with the existing workings of the game. ONly I missed out the beginning since I was not aware of the discussions here in the thread. Cheesy

So we got 'ca cb' till now?
I think the 2nd image will give 3 characters.
I am assuming it is read clockwise of course.

So we will get something like: ca___cb

and using this: http://www.binaryhexconverter.com/hex-to-decimal-converter we will be able to get a 9 digit pass code.

1:

A and C appears pressed in this image.
Clockwise it is CA

3:

C and B appears pressed in the image.

Edit: To see this clearly, Right click and open in new tab both images and simply switch tabs quickly while looking at the coin. You will see the difference.

seems to be getting interesting now ....

We should all split the profit Cheesy
