ARK Easter Egg Hunt 2021 — Solutions
This year’s Easter Egg Hunt has come to a close. Every puzzle except two was solved by some clever ARKies. (It could’ve been all but one if it weren’t for an unfortunate typo, sorry!) Once again we’d like to thank delegates del, yakety_yak, and arktoshi for contributing to the prize pool. Now without further ado, on to the solutions.

This senior brand manager started off as a humble sticker merchant funded by this transaction

Justin Renken, ARK’s senior brand manager, started off in the ARK community by selling ARK stickers. He asked the Ark Community Fund for funding and it was granted. The id of the funding transaction is the solution. https://explorer.ark.io/transaction/b2da5bb936ee477f6ec1e3765c74bb8f059e8077eac3d059df38d1998e5591dc
Sum the faucet rewards and don’t forget to vote!
8010985518
Add up the reward amounts on our faucet and then multiply the number by 3 because our voters get their rewards tripled! ;)
Then drop the decimal and you have the solution.
The master of the wallet also solved most of the puzzles from our last Easter event! Digest his face.

The top contributor to the ARK Desktop Wallet’s Github repo is dated who also solved a lot of puzzles in our last Easter Hunt. Take the SHA-1 hash (aka the digest) of his Github profile picture for the solution.

Delegates of letters three, on Discord you will see. You must look fast, for whom the vote they cast.
alessiogoose
The two delegates in the ARK Discord server with 3-letter names are tin (arktoshi) and del. Their delegate wallets are voting for alessio and goose, respectively.
Chirp chirp, this delegate chose a nice shade of ARK-red. It was close, but not close enough. Can you spot the difference?
0x10000
Tin/Arktoshi’s Twitter profile picture uses a shade of red is #c9282e and the official ARK Twitter profile uses a shade of red that is #ca282e. The difference between these two shades is 0x10000.
