Contest creator might be a charlatan, that transfers money to himself, and it is very visible through the cynicism and banality of winners that comment their steps of solutions.

​

In this Quizchain, firstly creator of contest said, that solution to this puzzle is:

[solution] TOMI Omit TOMI L4VdZUDY2BXa7VVkjuYkmaLvi8P5qNZaARwwB9wjqkDa6Sn4JLV4

​

Parallel, at this time, he said that will post in Twitter additional hints for helping players.

A little later, in a few hours Quiz was likely solved and winner unequivocally publishes the solution.

1) Contest creator LIED about the format of solution.

2) Contest creator LIED about the upcoming hints, after a few days.

3) Basically, winner cannot be real person, but seemly a ContestCreator. Cause format of solution was absolutely different.
