So the Applied Primate Engineering onboarding has been pretty crazy, most riddles happen on the official site https://intranet.appliedprimate.com/

Both previous riddles are logic based quizzes but the last one as different, So lets dive into it shall we?

The A.P.E institution is an expensive laboratory with pricey gear, so we need funding to continue everything we do “for the good of all ape-kind”, meaning we need to register for a grant, but unfortunately because of the entire “mega mutant” incident we lost our contacts and information.

Now the questing begins, we do have the previous 2020 form, looking a the top of it we found
THE INSTITUTE OF ANTHROPOID RESEARCH AND ADVANCEMENT”

Googling that phrase leads to a site with the same logo on the top left corner, sweet! https://tiarafunding.org/

The site seems to be under construction, the contact us links are dead and the forms are no-where to be found, going through the site I found a mention of a careers page, I went to /careers and found this.

Seems like nothing but there is a linkedin page right there, while exploring the linkedin I found there is a medium article linked there.

at the bottom of the article theres another link, this time to facebook

Going to the facebook page, the only information there is a phone number.

After calling that number there was a lady that told us to go to /funding on the original site, and also we got a text message back! the message included an email to which we need to send the forms.

Now that we had the recipient email we still needed an unfilled form to submit to that email, which is where the funding site lead us, it told us to contact our TIARA representative, we do have his number on this form right here, but 2 numbers are missing.

Cross referencing the bottom section of the form with the missing numbers we concluded the city we are looking for is Toronto meaning the number should be 437

After dialing the number we get a pre-recorded message telling us to text the number, after texting we get this response.

The form is physically at a “Media express printing” location.

We tried getting someone over there but no one from the discord was around so we sent them a message asking for the PDF they were asked to print.

After receiving the PDF we all needed to fill it, and send the filled form over to the email we got, I’m not gonna tell you the answer to filling the form, that’s still a cool part of the riddle and no need to spoil everything ;)

I would like to add, I’ve been a member of the A.P.E community from day 1 and I really think the direction this project is taking is pretty terrific, there is much potential and the concept of “Puzzle to mint” makes it impossible for bots to mint a project, and makes it hard for people to get multiple mints, It's a really clever way to get a VERY diverse community of holders as a seeding group into a project, the potential is awesome!
