I wasn't involved in Perplex City but I've certainly heard about Find Satoshi, and this is an incredible end to one of the great unsolved ARG puzzles. Amazing story!

Holy cow! I can't believe it's finally over. I actually had that Perplex City card back in the day, and quickly gave up once I realized the treasure was most likely buried in the UK and not the US. Earlier this year I had some nostalgic pangs about it, and read up on the lore, only to find that there were still no concrete leads on finding him. I suppose we can rest easy now (I'm not holding out hope for the Riemann Hypothesis).

There's a great article on ARGN about this: www.argn.com/2020/12/satoshi-found-perplex-city-got-a-little-less-perplexing/An interesting point made is that the puzzles that were considered impossible at the time ended up needing technology and computing power to catch up to their demands. Satoshi for example was found thanks to significantly more advanced facial recognition technology being available today.
