Thanks
@SanSound3
for putting together this awesome puzzle and for the reward! Since there's been a few people wondering how I solved the puzzle, I thought I'd break it down 👇

The puzzle started on the contract
From there, there were some functions that stand out immediately given all they do is return some data and have interesting naming. There's a total of 14 of these functions

They return hex data that once combined from all 14 functions and decoded comes out to sJNk1y phav4in aJm1pliVfDy pnlafnre nFFoWw tJLoo a2voL5w haEune riJt4Ve inQfxancTgy nHigLh1t InMsduLstrwy APTPTpACQK BPAmCQK.

If you remove the last word of the sentence that gave you a particular word. "The static percolates our unlit sky" gave sJNk1y which when removing sky gives JN1. After doing this for all you end with a string "JN1hv4J1VDnfrFFWJLo2L5aEnJ4VQxTgHL1MsLwPPpQPmQ"

From here, I could see that the last 2 characters resemble the starting characters for an IPFS cid "Qm". Reversing the string ends up with "QmPQpPPwLsM1LHgTxQV4JnEa5L2oLJWFFrfnDV1J4vh1NJ" which is an IPFS cid that accessed the next riddle

This riddle/poem had a couple hints to being related to a seed phrase, such as the twelve words as well as the fact that so many of the words were valid BIP39 words (wordlist that contains valid words for seed phrases)

The key to solve the riddle was that it called out "I (coffee) am impressed" indicating I == coffee. So using that and substituting that in the poem, there was a valid seed phrase of twelve words: "coffee write code coffee never sleep puzzle winner receive one point three"

Importing that seed phrase into Metamask, I got access to a wallet with 1.33 ETH and that was the final step! Of course I then promptly transferred out the ETH before someone else found the seed phrase :)

Awesome find! One question, what's the logic behind this? I understand the rest but can't quite get this part

Really was just a test/trial & error. Had tried a few things before that didn’t work so decided to try and remove the words and once done the result immediately stuck out since it looked just like an ipfs hash
