I love coin_artists work, the puzzles are very very creative and pivot on the illusions and actions of our inactions - it takes a certain someone who can solve these puzzles easily, whole communities have come together and tried. Totally outstandng work.

So after reading how befuddled people are on this thread that there were too many possibilities and it wasn't fair, I see why this person walked away with the prize and I think he did a fine job. I'm looking forward to his published walk-thru, as it shows he is a brilliant and logical thinker.
WTF is that !!

as it shows he is a brilliant and logical thinker
This means that every single solver over more than 3 years is stupid and unlogical thinkers! (except Isaac of course).only that unknown (aka isaac) is a brilliant and logical thinker in your opinion!
which means that the problem wasn't at all in the puzzle itself, instead it was in those stupid unlogical solvers!!..."SHAME ON YOU"
How could be a puzzle with 36 pages solution and high difficulty took the solvers only few weeks and 1.5 pages solution puzzle took more than 3 years?! if it wasn't about Luck and stupid random work!
"SHAME ON YOU!" you should apologise for your shit post and that big Troll puzzle.
Yes I think that's exactly what it means, you idiotic worthless piece of human garbage. The fact that after losing to Isaac that you have to come on an internet forum and troll, says a hell of a lot more about you than it does about him, or the creator of the puzzle.
He could be an expatriate living anywhere. But if he could get into trouble for having/using Bitcoin, is it really cool to try to find him?
I'm just saying is that Isaac resides in ... let's say 
... Weston, FL, then that would negate him living abroad, eh?You're probably the same person, but if not, you're equally as worthless trash. Buck the fuck up and don't be a whiny entitled little cocksucker because you weren't smart enough to solve it faster than the other guy.
You are sickening human beings and you should take a look in a mirror, and adjust your fucking privilege.
Jesus One-Flew-Over-the-Cuckoo's-Nest Christ, looks like we need to contact Nurse Ratched in seeing if one of her patients has gone AWOL after, perhaps, killing another patient with a fluffy pillow. In one sentence alone, the dude went from lightening a colorful metaphoric phrase to cussing like a cocksuckin' sailor.
BTW, kashking, I didn't even attempt to solve the puzzle because it was beyond my prowess.
“A knotty puzzle may hold a scientist up for a century, when it may be that a colleague has the solution already and is not even aware of the puzzle that it might solve.”
"One day, I hope there's a coin with my likeness on it, even if it's crypto-based.
Meanwhile, I'll tackle a knotty puzzle."

The solver is getting ready to publish his own walk-thru explaining how he decoded the painting. And when you read it you will see that 1) It didn't require to be brute forced. 2) I'll quote him here as he hasn't published the document yet, but he says "Number of permutations of the three data channels multiplied by the number of possible interpretations of channel states yields in 48 options."
So after reading how befuddled people are on this thread that there were too many possibilities and it wasn't fair, I see why this person walked away with the prize and I think he did a fine job. I'm looking forward to his published walk-thru, as it shows he is a brilliant and logical thinker.
This isn't the first time a thread devoted to one of your puzzles has devolved into unruly mayhem. Perhaps next time you should create the thread with self-moderating privileges to weed out the trolls.

Hi every one!
I just join in the forum. I have a question: Did someone tried to find the origin of the painting? Who is the author of it?
Or this is made by the creator of the puzzle??? Maybe we have to start from there(or at least me)

Author of the painting, and the creator of the puzzle is the same person: Marguerite Christine, the woman on the left in the picture:

There was a previous puzzle which was eventually solved:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/arg-puzzle-with-35-btc-private-key-prize-game-over-661781
This one still holds, IMHO because there was no community dedicated to solving it like the previous one. We were torn between half-functional forums and IRC channels, and it was no fun anymore like the first puzzle.
From the desk of Leading Down the Wrong Path:
Christine Andreas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Andreas; played Marguerite St. Just: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Pimpernel_(musical)#Characters
The Scarlet Pimpernel - Into the Fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSwSGgkQZUE
Can you explain how the winner could get the other forks? like BCH, BTG, etc.
If you enter the private key in blockchain.info it was possible to claim the forks ?, and does anyone know what the private key was?
Thanks, I'm new to all this.

So the good news is it has been solved. The bad news is what would have been a $98k prize at BTC's peak is now worth only $33k.

Ok the solver just pushed the solution walk thru for TORCHED H34R7S. I'll post it here first for anyone interested. I don't really feel like posting it on bitcointalk right now bc you all are bunch of haters.
LOL as it was like 56 pages comlicated solution to hide from us.

Horton hears a clue: Isaac employs the American spelling of "color" which begs the question, which country does Isaac reside in that bans possession of bitcoin et al. and where its residents don't spell "color" as "colour"?

With apologies for being the asshole here before somebody else beats me to the punch, do you realize that you went from detailing aspects of the forthcoming release, even quoting its content, to espousing that you look forward to reading Isaac's work? Again, apologies.

The only thing I will argue is that there is a lot of interpretable ambiguity in the painting. Likely the reason it was not solved for 3 years.

Hope you guys have not given up on this. Slow progress I assume now?
Excellent post, bud. Surprised to see you've yet earned any sM. Yes, it may take decades before it's solved. I'm leaning toward the answer lies in the game of checkers, the horse being a red herring. Oh, and the flames are a lie.
