Image puzzle!!!

once i got to the MagicEye one, i gave up. (i dont have time for this tomfoolery.... maybe during work...)

zippyjuan · 02-04-2005, 02:17 AM

I can't find anything on Step 3- is it because I have an LCD monitor? I tried some colored plastic too but maybe it wasn't colored enough to filter out what I need to see? I would think that this would not be necessary. All I can tell is that it has a lot of colored pixels. Any help on this one?

Edit- figured that one out. I forgot about something.

Edit again- these are hard! Now I am stuck on Stage 6- and there are 15 of them! This one looks like the picture is missing, but the caption says that is the way it it supposed to be! Argh! How am I supposed to find writing on a picture when there is no picture? " NOTE: The text is always in written in a clear form, it's just disguised in some way. There are no riddles or such things. The text is always located within the image file. it's never a reference to a place outside this website!"

Is this one of those genius recruiting challenges?

i'm stuck on 4!!! It looks like a plain white screen to me!

zippyjuan · 02-04-2005, 04:11 AM

Look for something like this. I saw it by looking at my screen at an angle.
Four was easier for me than three and my efforts on four helped five. If you need help, look above this line.

Leebo · 02-04-2005, 04:19 AM

hehe thanks, but now i'm stuck on 12

zippyjuan · 02-04-2005, 04:19 AM

Excellent! I can't get past six yet.

4 took me awhile. I finally "cheated" a little to figure it out.

<SPOILER BELOW>

I saved the image and loaded it into MS PAINT, did a black bucket fill in one of the corners.

<END SPOILER>

Gothic Girl · 02-04-2005, 07:01 AM

Man, I'm still stuck on 3. Stupid magic eye things!

Jcranmer · 02-04-2005, 07:06 AM

I stuck on 6 at the moment....

n/m just figured it out.

End

Congratulations! You have completed the Image Puzzle!
Now it's time to move on to the Code Puzzle...

INSTRUCTIONS: decrypt the code to reveal the name of the next page. After completing all 5 stages you will be taken to a new puzzle based on Mathemathics...

gear02 · 02-04-2005, 10:07 AM

how do you do #3?

Jcranmer · 02-04-2005, 10:17 AM

It'a a "magic eye" or hidden image sterogram puzzle, you have to kinda cross your eye's and it will kinda "pop" out in 3D. The problem is that some people don't seem to be able to do it.

btw: Thanks to the original post I have gotten NOTHING done at work today. I just finshed up the second set of them. (Pretty easy actually)

END

Congratulations! You have completed the Code Puzzle!
Now it's time to move on to the Math Puzzle...

INSTRUCTIONS: Remove all decimals from the answer to each question and add the .htm extension to get the name of the next page. After completing all 8 stages you will be taken to a new puzzle based on General Knowledge...

Jeffbx · 02-04-2005, 11:40 AM

Dang it you guys, I've wasted a lot of time with this stupid thing. I had some VERY important web surfing to do today!

And I'm stuck on #12. Clue?

I am actually really good with those but damn, I can't find it in this one for the life of me!

bwahaha! Yay! I got it right after I posted that.

Jenny · 02-04-2005, 11:51 AM

Now I'm stuck on 5. completely clueless.

Merlin · 02-04-2005, 12:02 PM

I'm at stage 5 and wondering what I'm supposed to do

Jenny · 02-04-2005, 12:03 PM

hehe me too Merlin

Merlin · 02-04-2005, 12:06 PM

Highlight it.

Jenny · 02-04-2005, 12:07 PM

Hmm, did that.

Ahh, I can't see it in Firefox but got it in IE. bleh.

I'm guessing #6 should actually show an img?

Merlin · 02-04-2005, 12:15 PM

Scary...
ghost...
made lame!

I am now confused at number 8

Jenny · 02-04-2005, 12:18 PM

Ok, stopping at 6 for the moment cause I'm frustrated. heh

Is 6 the broken image / red x thing? If so no, it's working normally.

Here is the answer to that one:

View the page source to get the file name and go to it directly. :-)

Merlin:

Take a VERY close look at those letters, they are not quite all the same.

I take it no one is at the math puzzles yet? I never went beyond basic algabra in school and I can't get this one for anything. It looks like this:

(710°/8 + 0,710) *1000 =

Except the 8 is actually under the 710 (degrees?)

Jenny · 02-04-2005, 12:28 PM

hehehe Yeah, Merlin helped me with 6, I got 7 easily, now am on 8.

Merlin · 02-04-2005, 12:31 PM

Got it. It was tough on my crappy monitor.

Jenny · 02-04-2005, 12:32 PM

man, I'm in the same boat as Merlin. My colors on my monitor are so off that I am sure that's why I'm having a problem.

Jcranmer · 02-04-2005, 12:34 PM

I loaded that one into Gimp, but if you have Photoshop that will help.

One last hint for awhile: Use the eyedrop tool.

Jeffbx · 02-04-2005, 12:34 PM

What about #12? I must be missing something...

Merlin · 02-04-2005, 12:42 PM

Ok, number nine is a real pain. I don't seem to have the right graphice package to uncover the hidden text. Paintbrush doesn't seem to be getting it done.

Past that one - that took work!
10 was way too easy.

I'm there now. No help yet but I'm trying.

zippyjuan · 02-04-2005, 01:15 PM

I still can't get #8. Do you mean put my nose to the screen "look closely"? I tried using only duplicate letters or just the other letters. This is wasting a lot of time!

Jenny · 02-04-2005, 01:19 PM

not at how they are shaped or the size. Think of another characteristic.
