You finished it, though? No spoilers ;)

Hey everyone! I still need to go through Twitter to check for the last 12hrs’ answers, but as far as I know this is still open. So far no-one has put the correct answer here or sent it to me privately (we’d much prefer you tweet, but I won’t disqualify a correct answer here).

If you’re confident you’ve tweeted the correct answer I’d be happy to get a link to your tweet about it.

(You can be confident that you got the correct answer if you found the hidden puzzle, worked through it, and got a clear answer which makes sense in the context of HOPR and the launch. If you just have a hunch it’s in Botswana or whatever, then you haven’t solved it!)

35

Ah actually someone HAS solved it on Twitter in the night. I just need to find out who got it first.

Nice, congrats to whoever did. Will you post an explanation as before? Would be really nice to see all the steps involved.

I’ll provide a full breakdown of the solution later, but the precise location is Lacus Spei (Lake of Hope) on the moon. The selenographic co-ordinates (it never said the answer was geographic co-ordinates!) are 43.0 N 65.0 E

38

I’m kinda glad that I wasn’t close. Looking forward to the full breakdown.

this is my tweet https://twitter.com/snoopfear/status/1364692066111025163?s=20

Ah sadly you needed the selenographic co-ordinates of Lacus Spei to win.

41

Anybody did it full?

42

Yes, one person I found so far. Now checking for earlier correct answers. But I think this lucky account is the winner: https://twitter.com/Lapin90983989/status/1364806796947255301

but my answer was earlier, he could have used my hint
