Enigma Puzzles

# Explanation and overview of the hardest puzzles on the blockchain.

## ***Enigma One***

The first Enigma created a link between the NFTs and the lore. It was using one of Solgods attribute : "code" as you can see in the top left corner of the picture underneath.

   There are four different "code" attributes. The morse gave letters, the binary gave numbers.

That gave : D462, E35, U1460, S5352 so DEUS 4623514605352. If you split them it gave 4.623514 - 6.05352 that are CERN coordinates where the god particle was discovered.

There was a text with the lore on the website and people had some clues that the text would be useful. So numbers had to be applied to the text.

The problem was that there was a 0 so it was difficult. Number needed to be indexed by adding + 1 to remove the 0 so it gave : 5734625716463.

TO find the answer, people had to count the words in each sentence and take the first letter of each word (see image below). For example the first number was 5 so you count 5th word in the first sentence and so on.

It gave SUPERSYMMETRY. That was the answer of the first enigma.

The prizes for enigma one, consisted of 50 original art pieces. In these art pieces a so called 'God Particle' is portrayed.

The collection can be found, and traded here on Magic Eden.

## ***Enigma Two***

Enigma two began with the starting clue being the picture of a puzzle book as seen below.

The prizes for enigma two, consisted of 10 riginal art pieces. These art pieces are called the 'Sacred Symbols'.

## ***Enigma Three***

Enigma Horizon "V3" solution thread by the EnigmaDAO. This is a group that formed from within the Fracture Community, dedicated to solving the enimga's. Starting from Enigma 4, this group has aided in the creation of these puzzles.

The Third enigma started with the following image:

We started, like most, seeing obvious words hidden in the Funksteady (artist of the Solgods NFTS) Bob Ross Image. We found most, but were hung up on two that turned out not to be important. We were stuck here for a while when @Ikigai\_NFT thought about his childhood fav game, Battleship;

> What if it's a grid!
>
>

Others were thinking of a Map Grid. Then @MrDegenCrypto knowing 13 is an Enigma #, thought what about a 13x13 grid. It lined up perfectly.

The clues came, D 4 8, 4 across, 8 down was a hit, Doctor.

Then more clues came, RUGRISK, 6 more hits, but U 11 2, had us puzzled.

But at this point, we figured it had to be D, Dr, RUGRISK = Bugororski. So we were trying to backfill.

Then came the switcharoo, D was an "accident" it's really P.

So we knew from V1 the letter DEUS gave us to order so were thinking the order was going to be PETER BUGORSKI.

The last clues came, OBVVT, we knew it! But V??? V = 5 = E. More hits on the grid!

But a wrinkle, V / E clue was only 1 number. We figured it could be literal, V1, and spent time looking for ideas in Enigma Version 1, but most of our notes were already converted, so didn't find it. We were stuck... 11 2 had no discernable words.

We were on rabbit holes, looking at eyes in trees and faces. We found SYMMETRY in the water on the last day! But @MrDegenCrypto swore he saw a P W R in the 11 2 mountain. He submitted Doctor Bugorski adopted their power the ascension failed find the obses / hostage. Nothing.

Then the clue from Joe that the answer was 13 words sealed the deal. @JrAudacious almost appalled at our smooth brains:

The EnigmaDAO Hive Mind was real and we're not sure any one of us would have gotten there without the collaboration and humor along the way. We had a blast in all three Enigmas and Thank @SolGodJoe and @FunksteadySOL for all of their time and effort.

The prize of Enigma 3 was a **one of a kind** NFT of 'Doctor Peter Bugorski'. The EnigmaDAO decided this prize was too difficult to share among the whole team, so they have since then made their own adaptions, and wear these with pride within the Fracture Discord.

## ***Enigma Four***

Enigma is the first edition where we featured a web-based playable game, as a part of the puzzle to be solved.

The game can be found on: https://3n1gm4.space/

## ***Enigma Five***

The prize for enigma 5 consisted of a Solgod NFT and an additional prize amount of 2 Solana.

The enigma began with an audio file, which can be found in the following tweet:

This was a scene set in a polar observatory on the day of The Fracture where three scientists encountered the Gods. Within the audio there were several clues, some primary and some easter-eggs:

* A dot-matrix printer sound which was morse-code for a number set.
* A phone number that was an unparsed A=1 cipher for ‘descending’
* The line ‘this frequency is overlapping’
* The dial tone of the phone-number which was un-parsed morse for ‘merged’
* Visible with a spectrogram, in the higher frequencies of the audio was an image of a hole-faced god, and binary that spelled ‘annihilation’

The visuals for the audio also had easter eggs:

The second drop was part 1.5 and served more as a narrative clue, depicting the last survivor after the event.

There were some easter-eggs/references to older enigmas, as well as a 13-digit clock that referenced version 2, and confirmed the 13 digit morse from the dot-matrix printer in the audio.

The last part was mostly text-based, an image of the last printout from the dot-matrix printer transcribing the event and accompanied by a seismograph reading.

To get the answer, solvers first had to use the 13 numbers on the 13 lines of text to find the clue words, e.g 1st line 5th word etc.

Solvers than had to use the ‘descending’ to arrange them from a 13-letter word down to a 1-letter word.

On each line of text there was also a letter in **bold**, these were A=1 letters and denoted which letter to extract from the corresponding clue-word on that line.

Once completed, solvers would have the first part of the answer; METACHROMASIA

The roller marks of the transcript also contained easter-egg morse for ‘deus ex machina’.

To get the second part of the answer, solvers had to use the clue ‘this frequency is overlapping’ and overlay the seismograph onto the text. This aligned through the grey boxes on the paper, and the peaks pointed the letters PHANTOM.

## Enigma Six

Enigma Six revolved around the Code traits in the Bridged NFTs. This follows the tradition of how Enigma ONE started, with the code NTF traits on the genesis Solgod Collection. The codes again consisted of a combination of More code, and Binary Code.

All 5 variations of the 'code trait' can be found on the top left of the images below.

And introduction to the Enigma was given in the form of the text below, seen in the answer form.

**Introduction**

The pursuit for immortality had become a sinister race. Testing was extensive and merciless. Many died in the process. A deep search into the very core of human biology was raging on. Once the hope spread it became relentless. The first to do it would reap unfathomable rewards. The demand was too high, once governments became interested it became too valuable. Too powerful.

Technology implementation was critical. Otherwise it was not possible. In the end, it was synthesised production. That’s when number 0 was Bridged. But where? And which signal?

**Solution**

The solution was found through the combined forces of EnigmaDAO and PuzzleDAO. Two groups within the community that formed around solving the Enigma puzzles.

The answer consisted of the answer to "Where?": NIH Building 31 - Aging research and Genomics.

And the Answer to the question: "Signal?": SIRT13 The NIH Aging Research Centre is one of the sites where the brutal testing was conducted to Bridge the first subjects. In their relentless pursuit for immortality, they focused on the Sirtuin gene family, known for its role in the aging process. SIRT13 was a new gene that was discovered here, and a key component to slowing natural aging and achieving immortality.

**Prize for completing the Code Enigma (sixth puzzle)**

* 1 Solgod NFT
* 2 Bridged NFT
* 25 Solana $SOL

## Enigma Seven

Enigma Seven revolved around clues, found in the first edition of the Fracture Comic book pages.

The four comic book pages were 'airdropped' to holders of the Solgod nfts. Airdropping refers to the proces of sending NFT's or Cryptcurrency to wallet addresses. Refer to the image below, combining the four different pages.

In addition to the first four comic book pages holding clues to the Enigma, a fifth page was airdropped to the people that accumulated and held all four page variations. The fifth page can be found below.

    **The Solution**

## Enigma Eight

The clues for enigma 8, were distributed through three unique forgotten noir airdrops: 'the bunker', 'walmart', and 'skull'. These are artpieces that tie into the lore around some of the Forgotten characters.

## Enigma Nine: CUBE - Magic Eden Event

Enigma nine is the first Enigma puzzle event, where the Fracture team decided to try and attract mass public appeal. The puzzle starts with a NFT mint on the popular NFT trading platform Magic Eden: go to the mint page.

It has the biggest prize pool yet, where a % of the mint proceedings is distributed to the winner, as well as to the NFT holders. A quick description of the event can be found in the image below.

It features a interactive Cube NFT, which you can move around within your phantom wallet.
