I believe the answer is
"I found you. Now, I will never leave you. ", which is the top comment of the youtube video .
Hint 2 : You can see me on the top ;)
Nice work. It was in front of us the whole time. :-)
Hello dear.
My name is Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester, a United state Military woman. Looking for a reliable and trust worthy person for a cordial relationship, I would be glad if you write back to me for more detail.

Best Regard.

I mentioned the name of the commenter earlier believing we are looking for a person.. So this quote is the right answer?
I don't think so. check my answer. I believe I have it right!

Are you by any chance acquainted with a gentleman called Edward Nigma?
They call us the Riddle
"Us"? So you are more like a two-faced person? Split personalities are very common in Gotham.
The first hint was a morse code that contained these coordinates:
92.811631, 3.097632
If we decode them with Rot5 which also accepts numbers
It gives you: 47.366186,8.542187
Google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/@47.366186,8.542187,18z
You said that you are looking for only small letters
So limmatschiff was the password and unlocked the second hint:
AHukwv_VX9A
Which is the link in youtube of the song:
And if it goes anyfurther your +1 in the subject is very intriguing this could mean the first minute
Which says: Once upon a time in a land far away
If you google it the first story that pops up is the lost girl that became a princess
http://www.prayerandspirituality.com/uploads/documents/mstories/once_upon_a_time.pdf
Is this the solution ?
Unless we have to look further into our quest for enlightenment to find a pea to put under
our mattress. :-)
Tim, did Elton find the intended solution?
Will give it a try! Thanks for this great game to make us think hard :D
Is www.miko-shop.de a hint?
Thanks @timsaid !!!
You know my brain hurts every time I attempt these... yet I keep coming back for more :-)
I see, a true Steemian. Good luck
Thanks lol - I'm trying. Grasping really. coords end up in the ocean (or the moon), numbers pull back navy military code gibberish, image pulls back German backpacking - seems I'm on my own world tour today. :-)
Is it a GPS location?
Who knows!
You're in the band Dot Dash and you have a number one at the top of the charts! Whoo hoo what'd I win?
Alright so I'm just putting in a place holder so I can keep tabs on this post. ;p
This is great way to earn money, when you are popular then you can do it by doing anything on the steemit, but this is fun, i tried to find out but i am word less because got no clue at all, hope there will be some one geneious who will figure this out and answer it.
So far we always had a winner. Last challenge Steemian @jfollas won 100 Steem.
He owned the last one like a BOSS! lol
Yes he did

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE but what is "AHukwv_VX9A" is it the answer already or should we go to the youtube video, MISSIO - Everybody Gets High lol help me I'm fool!

Sudan, Niger, Egypt and Cameroon idk so many combinations
There is only ONE position
Is it missionary position lol
No its reverse cowgirl with no boots on
This is cool, first thing come to mind dandee outback.
I will keep searching.
Good stuff @timsaid
Keep on steemit
good post
I' m ready to go. With patience, I will get it this time. Thanks for sharing
It looks very hard.😨
And let the best win...Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Let's go!
It took me a long time to even start to understand it, but after reading the answer and also the other comments it seems like it was really easy to understand. Having brain teasers like this to stimulate us mentally really pays off in the long run. I'm glad that this sort of things is available to average everyday people like me. Thanks for you post, I feel a little bit smarter already timsaid!!
This is just the raddest idea ever!!!
Thanks bro!
why payments for post stopped??? whales please upvote minor posts or you will loose people,
Thanks for sharing about this. Always interesting to learn more about what's going on on Steemit
Oh boy, I registered yesterday and while waiting for my account verification I was browsing on steemit to find my way and to learn what's this all about. I stumbled upon this crypto Challenge and found the answer pretty fast. However my account was not yet validated so I couldn't post my answer. I went through some stressy moments because I really like to win these 100 steemit coins. I do not own crypto so I felt like this is the perfect opportunity to get involved. I'm 99% sure that my answer is correct because all the pieces fall together. Let me explain the answer.
The answer is "Charlie C". It's written on the LP shown in the second profile picture of this facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Time-to-eat-Music-339062052967023/ (you need to zoom in - look closer - to read it). This facebook page pops up (as the first entry - You can see me on the top) when you google for the youtube share id "AHukwv_VX9A". At first I thought the answer could be the name of the page "Time to eat Music" but the hint "stay frosty and don't get lost in time" helped me to get not lost in time and go for frosty & charlie (cartoon). So my answer is "Charlie C".
Ok so the answer is the name "Eszter Vida" as we can see her on the top
Answer to first hint was morse code 92.811631, 3.097632, which decoded furthur with rOT5 gave us these co-ordinates.
https://www.google.com/maps/@47.366186,8.542187,18z
So, password was limmatschiff and unlocked the second hint:
AHukwv_VX9A which leads to youtube video
you can see me on top was second hint which leads us to the top comment of a girl named
"Eszter Vida"
South Sudan, Mount Kinyeti
Interesting. I am learning a couple of things a long the way. This is my first challenge on steemit. It is giving me quite a headache..hehe
https://www.google.com/maps/@47.366186,8.542187,18z
Got the password to the paste bin [limmatschiff] and arrived at this video by googling AHukwv_VX9A.
Nice - The coordinates had me stumped all day.
@timsaid is this it? Are we done with #17 + 1 (hiding in plain sight)?
a hook wv (golf) vx9a some serial shit :D:D:D @timsaid any closer?
You were not on your own. I spoted the 17+1 but I did not know exactly how to apply it. @steem.engine was the shining light on this one. He deserves the credit.
If you translate the code in the picture (morse code) you come up with the result:
"92.811631, 3.097632"
Right

STOPI just don't have a clue where to start with but seriously had my brain pressure a while....
war bonnet.
You see top [You see head] in video on youtube.
Enrique Iglesias - SUBEME LA RADIO
Looks like a morse code (the first image).
The second hint says "you see top" ?
Decoding gives me 92.811631, 3.097632
and the image relates to a German post on backpacking through Europe
looks like longitude and latitude?
Okay this is probably half of my answer which i don't think im right. Here you go.
92.811631,/3097632 or
92.8
1163
1,/3.
097632
Scratch my previous comment, i analyzed Hint 2 further. If it says "You can see me on the top", it means that the "me" is most probably a person. And the person, who is located at the top of the comment section of the video is "Eszter Vida".
I'm certain that the answer is Eszter Vida.
"you can see me on the top" refers to the first search result if you google the youtube share code. It's a facebook page. check my answer above, I think I solved it too ;-)
I would say @timsaid probably isn't relying on the position in the search results since it can be different depending on people's location, interests, ads... Marketing & all...
The answer could be "X", X always marks the spot, and it's on top of the head band which is on top of the skull in the Youtube video...
But then again, I could be way off (probably less than the following, though)!
Just because that was fun, my "going down the rabbit hole" answer would be Laphroaig Lore after the following quest:
Then I realized, I might have gone a bit too far... just a little...
yeah these riddles can make you go a bit too far lol. I remember spending hours to crack the riddles of notpron http://notpron.org/notpron/.
nice post ,,, you have good blog , Good luck. Comrade
Thank you Sergeant Tili
Im looking into this now, looks like its going to take some silence and creativity for this one! Thanks for the puzzle Tim :)
Thanks for taking part
Man, if I was on computer, this would be alot easeir... Oh well, lol
MUCH easier
got me some coordinates :-)
Oh nice
Nice work.I will definitely join the chat room so that I can increase my knowledge.
Good luck!
great job! keep it up, good luck
Thanks!
Very confused
92 AAA 8
1 1 6 3
1 (MIM)? 3 aaa (etetet)?
0 9 7 6 3 2
so so confused haha
lmao. Now you confused me
Hy @timsaid.
I like the puzzle you give. I have followed you please follow me back @muchtarudin
great post , thanks for this challenge
I thank you!
@timsaid
Ist hint; hiking
2nd hint; on top of mountain..thanks @steemit
If am correct kindly follow me @naseerbhat
Good start
Couple of lovers having the best time of their life hiking! Guy - wearing boots and hat, and lady - wearing watch and a map! So it's a Morse code of their conversation.
I don't want to know what they say lol
Hahaha. I know why lool
But people already started searching for the coordinates of that place, so they will be able to look closer! And show us few pictures of their conversation.
The compass, you mean?
Exactly!
Are we travelling?
We can look for travel time
The "92.811631, 3.097632" cannot be coordinates, because latitude exceeds 90... Maybe it overflows?
Don't ask me :)
I tried to reverse them, you end up in Indian Ocean off of Singapore
Yea, Indonesia. Still in the middle of nowhere
lol. This time it's tricky. The key is in front of you but yet hard to find
OK, I need to revisit this a little bit later tonight, if @jfollas hasn't come by and cracked it already :-)
:-) This one's tricky.
Hey :-) sure is. It's taken me all over the place but I still can't figure out the significance of the numbers/photo.
Especially one number is very important here
@timsaid where are you from ?
Hey I need as a thorough explanation ,,, but well for you and thanks and I follow you ,,, it would be very important for me to follow me
