Announcing the Obedience Cipher: a curious pursuit of wit and will. It’s a cultural product. A game. A challenge built on base.

A new kind of incentive loop. The idea is simple. There’s a hidden phrase made of X words. Discover them. 

Connect them. Submit the final string. https://t.co/hr9YZlqfPa

public hints from @tanishq so far

let's start with "One of the submitted solutions contains one word in the correct position and two words in incorrect positions" and "The number of words is also the third last word on the sentence"

@otis_call We've just dropped a few more clues:  

＊ One of the submitted solutions contains one word in the correct position and two words in incorrect positions   

＊ Follow the pattern on the website   

＊ The number of words is also the third last word on the sentence

I found solutions that were submitted before @tanishqxyz  casted the hint and checked to see which is the most likely he's referring to

you can see submitted solutions on basescan like so:

i found a very very strange submission- look at the decoded text, which contains a reference to stride.systems. 

might be worth signing up here

anyways, based on the results submitted within the time window, I actually think either my first or second submission is what his hint is referring to

two key insights: 

the third last word is a number, and it reveals how many words are in the phrase

this means the phrase is likely 10 words, and the 8th word is "ten"

Now we know that one of these two phrases has 2 words that are in the solution but in the wrong position

I'm not sure what the pattern on the website is yet (any ideas?)

So I focused on the image which is hosted here

my first thinking was, maybe there is hidden metadata in exif or stenographically in the image

with the help of chatgpt i tried looking at the raw decoded contents of the image for any strings

but this proved useless, and my guess is that this isn't that kind of challenge, esp. since "hints are hidden in plain sight"

This leaves two clues: 

- Follow the pattern on the website
- Download the image
