i took on the NPH [theory 11] card riddle - and how i solved it [Theory 11 NPH Playing Cards Deck riddle] - part 1

now everyone is saying we shouldnt post about how we solved this deck riddle. but ive been doing this stupid thing for months and months and was so far in the wrong direction that i would have NEVER gotten it had i not found the one hint that got me on the way to solving it. while i will provide the instructions for how i found my way i cannot actually show how i found the answer.



first of all the deck comes with text that says:

"this is going to be a challenge. just as a spider spins its web, i've taken a page out of cardano's book and created a puzzle. look upon photos and images inside this deck. you can do this - just look closely at the cards. good luck!"

the key here is the old sesame street song "one of these things doesnt belong", find the the odd thing out in the text above and literally google it. 

the short version is that it will eventually lead you to THIS INFORMATION:

     THIS is how you solve part 1 of the riddle, and it involves precision cutting with a utensil like an x-acto knife on one of the cards that came with the deck. i will say that what card it is is VERY obvious, and had i been a child id be dead from stabbing myself by accident. but i am, however, an epileptic and my tremors make precision cutting seriously dangerous. 

     with the card cut it leads to a webpage [no i will not post it, but i WILL give you the image]:

by the way this image has been altered in size and moved around. so you do not know how it should be applied. i want people who just want the answer to be able to get it without destroying their beautiful decks of cards or risking slicing their hands up.

    i would suggest that while solving the riddle you use painters tape [that blue easily removable tape] to cover previous sections. this way you can keep altering the decoder.
