Hints for Leg 1
Generic hints:

questions 1-10: passwords in pop culture
11-15: hackers in pop culture
16-20: objects from famous games
21-30: colour theory
31-40: ciphers. substitution ciphers only.
41-50: mixed bag

common pain points
comic thingy - watchmen. The comics is watchmen.
lollipop - its a geeky movie, a scene where the protagonist is asked a password to enter a night clib. google reverse image search, and then put password in the box.
colour boxes - the grid is a series, like word of the year, person of the year, game of the year...
weird characters - 1337sp33|<
Good decryption tools to use : quipquip and dcode
If stuck, google reverse image search is your friend

Would you guys be fine with a OnePlus 6 as the first prize?

No, we would better have a DIGIT Primary test right

Well, CTC 6 is welcomed. After a very long time, eh?

 

[Anorion]

^yup, after two years I think.

For subscribers, magazine leg is live

 

[mukul_rockstar]

I need to come out of my hibernation and buy the recent issue ASAP!

 

[Anorion]

hah! welcome back

The first leg is about to go live in 10 minutes.

 

[Anorion]

It is live. The first prize is a One Plus 6.
Start here.

Start here.

I'm confused by the page. What exactly do we have to do with that?

Edit: How to submit answers?

 

[Anorion]

It's a puzzle

Actually, the link to start is somewhere on that page only, read everything carefully. Most importantly, read the rules.

 

[SaiyanGoku]

It's a puzzle

How do I submit the answer?

 

[Anorion]

I... can't say

 

[Raaabo]

url/answer is the norm, read the rules.

 

[SaiCyo]

Can someone provide a link to a puzzle from CTC V and its solution so that I could get an idea about this contest? I've been trying to get leads on the first leg for the past three hours, I've read the rules but I still haven't made any significant progress.
