Those newbies which are specifically trying here to solve puzzle and showing their muscles I would suggest them to do a side hustle/side stream of income as well. Since this puzzle has been, few years back I joined the race, no luck, but I got this same advice by some senior here to have a side hustle so that at the end you don't have remorse of wasting a ton of time! The puzzle is simply a time eating machine, months go by and one is stuck with a corner of an algorithm/EC whatever again and again!!
One can reflect on what this forum and discussion on this puzzle gave me! Leaving aside solving puzzle, one is sure learning some real hardcore math skills and really burning brains out!!! This points towards another aspect, that one becomes more sharp in terms of figuring out numbers of interest. Though I am giving here my referral link, but believe me, the sole purpose of this comment is to share a source of side income having minimum risk and can be started as low as $10.
Some might call this a scam website. So don't invest which you can't afford to loose. Nobody can be certain of any website etc.
Whether this website is a scam or not, this can be handled easily with daily withdrawal and various other techniques which only sharp dudes can do!
YEAH. The real point is, this particular source has a glitch in its system! It is not technical glitch which a sophisticated programmer can exploit. It is a 100% genuine glitch. It might sound odd but I must call it a glitch for a reason here. If you play right, you can surely reach a decent daily withdrawal.

Once again, I am solely sharing this those one who have given their quality time solving this puzzle and are struggling financially as well. I suggest them to start with minimum possible as it can be started with $10. There might be hundreds of people investing in this stream, but the GLITCH would only be understood who has experience with numbers here at this forum. CHILL.
