A Challenging Image Puzzle..
 

http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/

Kinda tough, I'm stuck on level 8. Lets not give direct answers unless it's PMed. Just stick to answering people's questions with helpfull hints. :thumbsup:

I'm not taking that risk. :thumbsup:

stuck like chuck on 4.

Unless it is a monitor setting or something all I have is a white square nothing else in it or clickable, small hint anyone?

<b>MontanaXVI</b>, I don't know if this is a hint or a cheat, but for stage 4 I saved the image to my machine to get a better look.

nothing but all white.

well Im stuck on 3

<b>MontanaXVI</b>, play around with the image a bit. I don't want to completely give it away.

<b>ShaniFaye</b>, magic eye images can be really hard.


<b>Munku</b>, I am also stuck on 8, I have an idea that I am playing with but I can't get it yet.

I've tried several things with photoshop, inverting it, trying to get a puzzle out of the words but nothing.

Scary...
Ghost...
Made Lame!

For some reason gHosT Made Lame... Html? I dunno..

I am thinking that is has to do with the image type.
The image is a GIF but it is named jpg.

Like I said though, I can't figure it out.

I think there are some differences between the letters on # 8. :)

I'm stuck on 4 as well.

Stuck on 3...oh well

<b>ngdawg</b> ever done a magic eye image before?

<b>Munku</b>, does the :) mean that you figured it out?

Screw 15...

Yes sticky. I got it. What I said was my hint for ya. :)

That is waht I figured. But I did not get it yet

Hah! Finished! Spiffy! A new puzzle >:)

Let me just say this. If you dont have image editing software, and you really want to finish this puzzle. It wont happen. =-(

8 was hard. I see what you mean <b>Munku</b>

Wow puzzle after the image puzzle is very easy. Time for the math puzzle!

Need to get past 12

Stuck on Stage 7 of the Math Puzzle.. I know I can figure it out I'm just having a brain fart.

I wish I was there to help you.

aww totally stuck on 8 right now.

<b>Skier</v>, take a look at the letters very closely.

I am still stuck on 12

*Sigh* I am stuck on 3 too! I have never been able to do the "Magic Eye" things... something to do with my eyesight :( Oh well... was fun up until then! lol

PM me if you want the answer to the magic eye one (#3).

Whoohoo!

#9 here i come. Had my suspicions, but had to wait until I restarted my computer so I could open photoshop to figure it out. Thanks sticky.

edit- now on #12.

argh it's so close I can taste it! still stuck though

allllrighty then, got #4 on the image one done now stuck on 5 hehe

hint. hmmmm


for number 5 you need to select internet explorer to discover the result.

What's up with #6? It's just a red x?? How do I get past that?

Edit: Oh I get it.. Hehe clever.

Edit: Now stuck in #12... hmm...

It's KILLING me.

on 7 cant be bothered anymore :P

I simply can't see those magic pictures, so I'm stuck at 3 :(

here is the answer to the magic eye (#3) if anybody is just not able to do a magic eye
Spoiler: o.htm

5 don't make no sense! I'm in Internet explorer and still can't crack it. :(

post the link to #5 and I will give you a hint.

lol then everyone stuck on 1-4 will get a shortcut

Heh, we did it by PM in the end :p

Meh. Stuck on 9, taking a break.

grrr someone please help out with the red x one

Ohhh yeah, i just had an epiphany and figured the fucker out. Very clever indeed. :)

Keep hunting bro.

lol fuck hunting mate just tell me!

I dreamt about the red x last night. Explore the reason why it's a red x.

ok, 12 has got me.

cause i dunno. I tried the name of the image folder n everything like that. It's a red x cause the guy is a knob and he doesn't want me to clock this. Dammit someone help me!

Rexes mean one of two things. Either the image is linked wrong, or the image is messed. The image is linked correctly...

Now what am I missing on #9? I guess it's an easy one since the rest of you breezed by it. :|

You'll need photoshop to solve this one. Now hurry up and get to 12 and help me. Bitch. :cool:

Hah, Image Puzzle = pwned.

Number 12... the address is written clear across it. You can easily see the .htm, but the rest is there. Even more obvious, you might say. Check all of the left-hand side of the pic. And make sure you note how the letters are written.

Bitch. ;)

EDIT: Code = pwned as well.

Stuck on math 6.

(PS, I'll be away until Sunday, so if you're still stuck... figure it out I guess).

Can't figure out the stupid rexed one...

Thx bitch! peace out!

up to the maths puzzle now. god help me.

I too am stuck on 6. The clues you guys have given haven't helped.

ok someone just PM me the damn rex one. seriously

This game isn't fair. I'm part of the 2% of the world's populations that cannot do "magic eye". I had to get my brother to do that one for me.

This is not true for stage 6.

Also, on stage 5, it has the file extension .html, yet if you enter the URL as .html it doesn't work. I had to assume .htm
What other mistakes exist in this puzzle? >___>

Damn it, stage 6 is pissing me off. 30+ urls and nill so far...

All right... I'm stuck on 12 now. Screw this illogical game.

EDIT: Oookay. Got 12. That was... interesting. Hint for 12: the url is case-sensitive. Be careful.

EDIT: Grr... 13 sucks. It isn't IOY.HTM, or IOV.HTM

Stuck on 6

Edit: Got it! :)

Edit 2: I'm definitely stuck on 8 now :confused: Help, please? I don't get any of the hints.

rhaevyn: save the picture and then zoom up really, really close to the letters.

Still stuck on 13.
URL's that don't work on 13:
IOVY.HTM
IOY.HTM
IpqY.HTM
ICOVY.HTM
ICOY.HTM
IOCY.HTM

I'll be damned if I can find any more letters stuffed in there.

Call me stupid, but I still don't see it lol How close do I need to zoom in?

Pay specific attention to the first word.

Holy freaking shit. 13 was easier than... god damn. I need to smack my head against a wall now or something.

14 is stupid because there are two types of V's... >__>

Got 15. 15 is super easy if you have photoshop.

ahhh! i still don't see it!

maybe it's time for me to go to bed lol...but then i'll stay awake wondering what it is!

Hehehe. Okay, pay attention to how BRIGHT or DARK certain letters are in comparison to other letters... ^_^

Stage 4 in the code puzzle was clever yet simple.

Alright, I'm one of those people still stuck on 6, help?

damn it, why isn't it x.htm!!

Yay, got it! lol I actually noticed that some letters were brighter/darker before I read your hint :)

Edit: Stuck on 11, but that'll have to wait several hours because it's waaaay past my bedtime. :hmm: Good night/morning!

This one is really ridiculous. It pissed me off. It really has nothing to do with the image itself. Think more in terms of the actual file, as opposed to the image.

I'm stuck on #4 of the math puzzle. I've yet to encounter in my life a situation where you can simply add a coordinate to an integer. They're clearly using notation that I've never seen before.

0,710
If that is a polar coordinate, then you'd simply have the cartesian coordinate 0,0. So... 1/8*1000=125
125.htm doesn't work.
If it is just straight up a cartesian coordinate, then we have
(1/8+710)*1000=710125
710125.htm doesn't work either.
I don't know how to do this! :D

Crazy French and their math notation! It's just a period. GRRR!

for #6, is it an actual word, or is it random letters?

Random letters. Another hint: image6.jpg isn't actually an image file.

Problem 5 of the math is pissing me off. How can it not be 20000? Do they want units or something? >__>
Problem 5 looks so easy I'm starting to doubt if 1+1=2
/goes insane
/explodes

Damn it, I need some porn.

#12 - Does it have anything to do with that black line down the middle?

(I can just imagine how I'll be at the math puzzles if I can't even figure this out...)

The big fat vertical line is a letter. That is a gigantic clue. Also, don't forget to look to the far left of the picture.

aah... I missed the far left side.

D'oh! Question 5 is phrased in a far too ambiguous manner. They want you to double the area.

Hint for #6: Spoiler: Play with file extensions

Spoiler: You don't even need to. Just open with a different program.

what am i missing in the image puzzle #5?

i tried opening it in IE, but that didn't help me...

Hmmm.. I don't get #15... I've tried tweaking around with it in photoshop but I'm just getting white and black noice....

Edit: Hah, Finally got #15.. tricky one.

Aargh! Somebody please give me a hint for #11! Pretty please!

It's always a good idea to hit ctrl-a on #11.

I believe Etienne is from Sweden, judging by his mail adress. :D

And a million hugs to Cervantes! Thank you!

Can I get a hint on 13?

rhaevyn: Remember that in every image there is always a filename such as blah.htm
This one is no different, therefore, you may be mistaking one character for something it is not because of a certain other character.

Still not getting it, Stiltzkin :(

I don't get how it could be anything other than iov.htm

this creative interpretation thing is asinine.

I'm a bit stuck on #13 as well.

EDIT: Bah, insipration strikes!

Anyone with Photoshop wann gimme a hand with 9, pleeaase!?

Math = pwned.

Stuck on general knowledge 9. I couldn't even name all 50 states off of the top of my head, and you're asking me about Europe? Sheesh.

hi munky...

Lol what's up Bundaaay! Slav, PM me the answer to number 7 please, the under water one.. My brain hurts thinking of vectors and shit..I'm prolly way off anyways!

Starting from... I think 11 or 12, they are all case-sensitive. Skier, you are so close it is not even funny.

I never knew webpages could be case-sensitive... When did that get invented?
:lol:

Anyway, #14... Here we go again.

They were case-sensitive before they ever became otherwise. In fact, aren't Microsoft servers the only types of servers that aren't case-sensitive when it comes to filenames?

You learn something new everyday!

Yay, finished!
Just took a look at the codes... I think I'll just go die now. But good luck to the rest of you going on. :thumbsup:

The codes are pretty easy, actually. Give me pen and paper and I could come up with a tougher code in less than five minutes. Of course nobody would be able to break it unless he had experience in cryptography, but I digress.

Come on, TFP! You're getting so close to the end of Image!

Do you have to have photoshop to get #15?

Yup. A hint: use the magic wand ;)

I don't have p-shop

I will see If I can get access to a copy.

Everybody should "have access" to a copy for emergency situations. But I wonder if the Gimp would work just as well?

It's actually not very hard. You can do it with the Pythagorean Theorem. It took me a few seconds to see it, but when I did it became very simple.

Once I saw it, I felt really dumb. Stupid triangles.

OH NO FUCKING WAY

13 just pissed me right off.

edit: #2 of code puzzle.

Yeah I was helped on the math one and felt so dumb.. :P
