Ok, I love that people are trying to explain ZK in a simple fashion. That’s great. But if you do that, the last place you want to start is with zkSNARKs.

The progression for understanding ZK should be: 1. general intuition, 2. cut and choose (non-ZK proofs), 3. 3-coloring, 4. Schnorr, Groth-Sahai, 5. zkSNARKs. Maybe mention 2PC and IKOS at some point.

I wish, wish, wish there was an accurate example for understanding ZK proofs that was more intuitive than Micali’s *real* 3-coloring protocol. But I have never seen one.

A while back I wrote up the Micali intuition for zero knowledge proofs. I don’t take credit for the ideas (!!): they’re what made me understand ZK in grad school.http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2014/11/zero-knowledge-proofs-illustrated-primer.html …

Unfortunately the sets "good explanations" and "explanations that involve a time machine" are pretty much disjoint. Until the time machine part you were doing pretty well, though.
