  • Description: Name of the street? Flag: HMV{xxx_xxxx-xxxxxxx}

🔎 Solution​

The objective of this challenge was to identify the street name related to the provided image.

Searching the image on Google revealed that it is located in Paris, France. To speed up the process, I used Gemini to assist with the location analysis. The result suggested the following details:

  • Possible shooting position: near the intersection of Rue du Mont-Cenis and Rue Cortot.
  • View direction: looking toward the intersection with Rue Saint-Vincent at the bottom of the stairs.
  • The area is located right behind the Sacré-CÅ“ur basilica.

With this information, the search radius could be narrowed down.

At the identified location, the same building from the image can be spotted:

After testing both potential street names - Rue du Mont-Cenis and Rue Saint-Vincent - the correct answer turned out to be Rue Saint-Vincent.
