If your scroll down the page of screenshots here https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/shot-with-geforce/?m=V3sibyI6ImNyZWF0ZWREwollIiwicMKDMMKRc8KDInNoYWR%20%20vdyJ9 there is an image on the left and it's title is "My Name is KEY". Sometimes you want to go...where everybody knows your name. Today's answer is key and the output is ROT13

The answer to today's riddle is the word "Blue". When you put it in the box, you get the following:

1110110101110010000000

Not sure where to go from here.. binary to text converters aren't giving me any decent result. ROT13 is not applicable to this one as that is based around letters.

Chef_Al

1110110101110010000000 binary to text gives "ir"

if you "rot13" the original binary to get 0001001010001101111111 that gives "?"

Chef_Al

1110110101110010000000 in decimal = 3890304
