In the 21st century, the greatest value for a person is information. Owning the necessary information can get if not all, then very much! And what in our time is the largest repository of all possible information? That's right - the Internet!

Somewhere in the network there is one very important “key” that opens the door to the world of useful knowledge. The “key” was once lost, but what is this treasure that cannot be found? After all, you can find everything on the net! Do not be late, the “key” is only one and it should be yours!

At a certain time on the site BrainTeaser.ru appears a number of numbered archives. Each archive is password protected. Also, a mystery appears on the site, the answer to which serves as a password to the first archive. Having solved the riddle and opened the first archive, you will see a file with further instructions to actions. The file will be hidden or in some way indicated the site to which you need to proceed. It will also indicate what needs to be done on this site.

Having found the site and following all the instructions, you will eventually get a task or riddle, the answer to which will be the password to the next archive in the account. And so on.

In the end, after going through all the stages of the quest, which are scheduled for about seven at the first time, you will receive the final “key” and an indication of where this “key” should be applied. The first to use the “key” in the right place becomes the winner!

Attention! After the finish (when giving the final key) you may be asked a question from the administration, about how you went through any stage of the quest. In the absence of a clear answer - your result will not be taken into account. We do not flinch (although it is unlikely that you will succeed! :)
