Topic awaiting preservation: VERY crazy image puzzle (Page 1 of 2)

http://www.etienne.nu/imagepuz/
can anyone mail me how to solve number 5?

B | T | E | P | L

oh, my eyes .....

can't even get past #3 ...

[insert fabulous sig here]

The number 5 is not that hard.
I sent you a mail.

To solve some stages, you'll need a paint program, or even a text/hex editor.
The stage 6 is über easy.

You're welcome. Right now I'm puzzled by the stage 8.

oh errm, poi which address did you use? please send to lgrumet ÄT gmail

B | T | E | P | L

I sent it via the Send an Email feature of the Asylum, but I just sent you another mail on your gmail account.
I've had a lucky guess with the stage 8, the next one is über easy.

thx man. just got it

#3 was cool
But I'm having problems with #4...oh well, gota go out, guess I'll have another go later

[edit] Forget that, one of poi's hints helped me

#11 uses a trick similar to the #4

/!\ one "annoying" thing is that some URLs are case sensitives.

I'm done.

Now let's give a go at the CODE PUZZLE

thanks. would've never gotten past 13 without that.

the Code puzzle has only 5 stages.
Let's move on the MATH PUZZLE

ok, im on to the code puzzle now.

the image puzzle was fun! some very creative tricks! especially the last one.

--
www.embege.com

(bis) the Math puzzle only had 8 stages.

code puzzle was pretty straightforward IMO.

lets see if i can remember my math from school.

--
www.embege.com

math puzzle was quite easy too.
onto general knowledge puzzle.

"Feel free to use reference aids!"
if that means googling is allowed, than this should be a flawless walkthrough.

The General Knowledge had 15 stages.

I've needed some Wikipedia and Google for it
Damn, the French name for the solution of the stage 12 is : "ornithorynque", I had no idea about the English name.

yeah i too would have been helpless without wikipedia and google.

these things you either know or not. in the other three puzzles you could always start up your brain to solve it.

Damn, I really wanted to solve all of them (image ones), but fell at 15, and can't seem to do it with paint!!

Oh well...

with MS paint ? Sure you'll have a hard time. You need something more advanced, letting you manipulate the channels or at the very least the colors.

meh, people have done it with paint, frankly I can't be bothered. Maths looks more like it to me, even if stage 5 is excruciatingly incorrect

[edit]wait...now I can't do stage puzzle 2?? Unfair!!

The description of the Math stage 5 is not clear enough. It's obvious that the answer is not 20,000m so they must be talking about the area of the square. ... well when you see the dumbness of the stage 8 you may wonder

hehe, I'm going to need a pen and paper for some of these I suspect. Oh, and my e-mail address is wrayal*NOSPAM*@gmail.com if you fancy helping me with #15, removing *NOSPAM* of course

I'm stumped on #5 of the image puzzle

Edit: Nevermind, didn't work in Mozilla

(Edited by xcFeRiNiZeDcc on 02-19-2005 22:12)

xcFeRiNiZeDcc: I know in IE you can find the URL for the stage 6 with a single key stroke, but you can do it in about 10 seconds with PhotoShop.

Hmm
I found stage 8 by mistake...
So the image that says scary ghost made lame how is it solved?
Please

PS: and yes, POI, paint works for 2 of them at least... Funny how you can solve them in 2 gfx tools so different. The one i solved with levels, the first one that appeared white, my friend solved with the bucket tool in paint.


Curiously yours, crip

I can't figure out stage 8... ("Scary... ghost... made lame!")


 

*hint* for Image Puzzle stage 8 : check the color of the letters

Duh. Thanks.


 

any hints for #3? I've split the colours into channels like someone already suggested, but I can't see any patterns or anything in the static :\

Thanks

step 9 seems to be easy, but i cant get past this one. any tips?

abb: in #3 the URL is written in a stereogram. Alas I've never been able to see them, so go through it, I've pasted the image in Photoshop, duplicated the layer, inverted it, set its opacity to 50% and finally slided the layer to the right until the URL of the next stage popped.

mas: the #9 uses the same trick as the #4 .

play with the levels in photoshop.

you mean similar to number 5 i think?

#11 uses a channel trick, so it's closer to #4 than #5. For the #11, convert it in RGB and check the channels separately. Or you could also do :

javascript:document.body.bgColor="Shazaam!";void(0);

I was doing really well till stage 5 of the image puzzle. Any hints mercifully received to ; tao (dot) boogie at gmail dot com.
Thanks for the mental challenge mas I am enjoying it albeit slowly. I'm sorry to say that I have not got a clue how to do the Code Puzzle you set us poi and I think I have the answer to the first question in the Math puzz' but know not how to submit it and move on to the next question
Heh, I guess this is proof positive of how well I did in the So Just How Big a Nerd are you? thread

::tao:::: ::cell::

I did them all,done, i needed help also with the last problem on the math test.
Which is actually funny when you realise, i did countles calculations, looked for 9 grade phisics manuals LOL
Code test is too short i think cos it was funny.


Curiously yours, crip
