Image Puzzle Go through each stage and try to figure out what the URL is for the next stage with the pic that is provided. posted to misc -> misc by lasergeek, Jan 31st, 2005
A lot of people just can't read the 3-D puzzle things and it seems kind of dumb to have that in there. At least they stuck it on stage 3 instead of stage 99.
I'm to stage 5, but I can't figure that one out. If you look at it from a distance it looks like an F, and if you turn your head to the right it looks like b-something. Can somebody help? Here's the link to number 5.
Finally got past that damn magic-eye picture and am not stuck on stage 6. Is the picture ment to be missing. I get the little box with an x in it and show picture doesnt work on it.
I really must be missing something on Stage 4, all I see is a blank image - I've tried viewing source, searching for embedded messsages in content headers and such, nothing.
Cheers pogil - Looking back at 4, for some reason, if I look at the image in an explorer window, the side bar shows it correctly ... only too small to make out the actual letters... but all the tools etc I throw at it, refuse to play nicely.
karooble,
On 6 try going directly to the image that is referenced in the HTML using IE.
Marijn, on 13 there are probably enough hints above to help you. Look at my plea, bigevildan and sufjanstevens responses, and my final statement on the matter. Don't forget that some letters are easy to confuse in that font.
Hints (In reality, these are dead giveaways):
1) If you don't get this, quit now.
2) See hint for #1.
3) Yes, I hate stereograms too. To skip it, just click here.
4) MS Paint - fill it with some non-white color
5) You have to use Internet Explorer: Press Ctrl-A to select the picture.
6) Right click on the picture. Click on Properties. Copy the address of the picture in your address bar, and press Enter.
7) Right click on the picture. Click on Properties. Notice the address. See how strange the end part looks? Especially how it ends in .htm?
8) Some of the letters are darker. If you are really blind, go to gifworks.com and replace the color in one of the letters to red or something.
9) MS Paint - fill parts of the black part with white. It's hard to read, but it worked for me.
10) You can trust what this picture reads.
11) See hint for #5.
12) The first letter is really thin; I think it's two pixels wide. The second is ridiculously thick. From here on, everything is case sensitive.
13) It reads from top to bottom.
14) Letters don't have to be uniform size, even if it's the same letter. Even greater hint: There are 5 letters before .HTM
15) Go to gifworks.com and randomly replace white parts of the picture with black. Works best if you choose the color to replace from a pixel near a corner of the picture. Thanks to pogil for this one.
We're very very very very very stuck on stage 2 puzzle level 1- what the hell is the volume of the shape!!! Please anyone help!!!! We dont want clues we want hard core numbers!!!
I can't get past Stage 12. It's pretty hard.
I can't get past Stage 3. I can never see those fucking stare-o-grams.
Hint* go cross eyed in Stage 3.
Damn it! I cant get past stage 3. I can get it to work but everytime i try and read what appears it goes away. :(

how about someone just gives the link to get past 3?
I'm to stage 5, but I can't figure that one out. If you look at it from a distance it looks like an F, and if you turn your head to the right it looks like b-something. Can somebody help? Here's the link to number 5.

level 5 is impossible if you're not using internet explorer.
you have to select the pic and some letters will disappear. for some reason firefox doesn't do it.
Finally got past that damn magic-eye picture and am not stuck on stage 6. Is the picture ment to be missing. I get the little box with an x in it and show picture doesnt work on it.
For stage 6:
Try looking at the source to see where the picture is.
I really must be missing something on Stage 4, all I see is a blank image - I've tried viewing source, searching for embedded messsages in content headers and such, nothing.
ClickNMix, you're going to want to use an image editor for some of these.
lasergeek, on stage 12 there are more black lines besides the obvious one and the ".htm "
ok, im stuck on image 8. my head hurts.
mryamez, the answer is in the text. look carefully at it
I need help on 13!
Cheers pogil - Looking back at 4, for some reason, if I look at the image in an explorer window, the side bar shows it correctly ... only too small to make out the actual letters... but all the tools etc I throw at it, refuse to play nicely.
Try using the paint bucket in paint on that one, ClickNMix.
ok, im obviously going about this the wrong way. my head still hurts. im still stuck on number 8.
why oh why can't i do 8? arghhhhhhh
Not all the letters are the same in 8. Zoom in and look carefully.
ah cheers pogil, id done that, mustve missed it. didnt even occur to me to check the htm though! duh!!!!
well, 15 has me stumped...and its bloody hurting my eyes trying to figure out if its another magic pic!
Woo! Puzzle complete!
a little help on 13? bigevildan or sufjanstevens?
I just don't seem to be reading those letters right, or am I doing it wrong?
Keep in mind that the file name is case sensitive. That threw me off a couple of times.
pogil, you've got to look how the letters are different to the ones on past pictures
How do you do 7???
bigevildan, is the last one a magic pic again?
durrr. I had tried every variation of upper/lowercase on those letters but not on the htm part....
sufjanstevens, no it isn't. You definitely need a good image editor to get it.
hmmm i think thats me done then! :-D
i have gimp + photoshop....dont actually have any idea how to use them though, doh!
I dunno about that bigevildan. I was able to do the last one with http://www.gifworks.com
What are you supposed to do for 15??
By "good image editor" I really meant "not MS Paint", although I now realize that you could use MS Paint if you really had to.
so... what changes have to be made to the image?
can someone help me a little more with 12?
on number 12... the letters are in black.
case sensitive, too.
Holy Heck! How did it change from 8 posts to 37 posts behind my back? Can I please have the URl to the next puzzle? I'm to lazy to finish this one.
ahhhhh, i still don't get it. i only see the black line and the black .htm and no other black.
ok. do you notice how some of the edges are wider?
I need help with Stage 6, please! Perhaps simply the link to Stage 7!
I dont get it in 13...
pleaz help me
What the heck?
You beat it and then you have to do another puzzle?
Why don't you get to see that guy dancing like in Uninvited?
karooble,

"ok. do you notice how some of the edges are wider?"
yeah, what do i do with them?
Use those wider black edges of the picture to form a letter (case matters for all letters).
Please give another hint for 8...my brain is going to explode...
Hints for 15 would also be greatly appreciated.
i have the answer for stage 7 of the math puzzle, just not sure how to translate it to the address. any help?
I dont know but 13 isnt logical
Ive tried every option there is.
it must be zomething thiw lov lOV i dont know pleaz help me whit some other hints
It isn't an L in 13, upper or lower case. Don't forget case matters for the whole page name.
Rewinder, on 15 I found the "replace color" tool at gifworks.com very helpful. It might take a couple of tries.
On stage 8, not all of the letters are the same color.
In the math puzzles, you throw away anything after the decimal place. Note that they request the answer for 7 in meters, not kilometers.
Ok, I'm now stuck at number 8 for 5 days. I zoomed, inverted, photoshopped, calculated, etc. etc. etc. the picture, but i just dont see it.
Does anyone has got a good hint?
Help Im stuck at 14
I will help anybody for the previous,
just send me e mail
and the picture from the puzzle!

can anyone help me with the math puzzle, stage 8?
Stage 8 of the math puzzle is a trick question. Gravity has the same effect on things dropped and things propelled horizontally.
I tried all the hints on stage 12, but I still don't get it! ><
Lol. Nevermind, I got it.
"Stage 8 of the math puzzle is a trick question. Gravity has the same effect on things dropped and things propelled horizontally."
haha, i got that but i didn't see the answer already written, thanks.
Photoshop makes a lot of these puzzles easier - e.g. 9 is really easy to read if you adjust the levels (input level slider completely to the left)
Maybe I'm just drain bamaged, but I still don't get 12.
I need help on math number 7. Yeah...lol.
need help with math 4, i dont understand the notation, what does the comma mean? does it want me to something with coordinates?
the comma is just a .
as in 0.2
not sure if it was a mistake or there to confuse. but it had me stuck for weeks.
What is the answer for Maths puzzle no. 4. I get 89460 but it is wrong.
Is it something to so with the degrees sign in the 710 bit?
and that little round thing, its a zero.
as in to the power of zero.
i got stuck on that bit too.
whats is number 11? please tell me im stuck
We're very very very very very stuck on stage 2 puzzle level 1- what the hell is the volume of the shape!!! Please anyone help!!!! We dont want clues we want hard core numbers!!!
