Pascaleiro, i think, that we must have a second picture (look to the source)

Pascaleiro, i think, that we must have a second picture (look to the source)
Thanks! I got it! I'd already looked to the source but didn't noticed it had that part down there. So, here goes a hint...
The bottom of the source has a link and a webpage name. You have to know how to use them both. In that page you'll find the command that the creator used to make that red box in the picture, and that's the answer. That '69 px' (pixels) is the width and height of the box.

Hmm... Everytime we go to the "Congratulations" page there's a letter... Maybe we'll need it for something.

(Really) stuck on 13... All I see is white. I think there isn't a single pixel that isn't 'pure' white ._.

... there are other ways to hide information in a picture than just in the pixels...

Pascaleiro

07-12-2007, 12:44 AM

Still on 21... Tried many things but still can't read that thing <<

stroz

cut or copy right site and put it (in new layer) on the left site, with opacity 50%

Pascaleiro

07-12-2007, 09:07 AM

cut or copy right site and put it (in new layer) on the left site, with opacity 50%

Made it to 25. Now I'm going to work so I'll continue later.

I've just finished level 25. It took much time to solve the problem...
Every single picture must be used as a layer wich you have to blend together. When there's something written (seems like 'rarki.html') you'll have to move one of the layers one pixel to the left :)

Now stuck in 26 ^^

07-15-2007, 09:15 PM

Pascaleiro

im still in 26

I was taking a little vacation from this riddle lol (cause I'm stuck in 26 too, of course). I just noticed something. That 'secret' page's name is "coord".... Maybe the answer is the coordinates of something in there. I'll check that out later

stroz

07-25-2007, 07:27 PM

Pascaleiro

07-25-2007, 07:33 PM

Olcsibacsi

07-31-2007, 04:38 PM

Checked ;)

Üdv Fern :)))
Reggel óta halott a szerver és az egész demiart.ru...:(
Tudnál segíteni egy kis ötletfélével a "cat"-es pályán?
Kb péntek óta ezen kínlódok:(
Helyzet szerint nem vagyok képzett fotoshopban..:(

Fern

07-31-2007, 04:42 PM

Az melyik is?
Amikor különféle színes izékkel van írva?

Mistery

07-31-2007, 04:42 PM

Please use English, or add a translation ;) Thanks (köszönöm) :)

Olcsibacsi

07-31-2007, 04:44 PM

Amit Arsenika követett el!
Kicsi animált gif egy kis macskával és talán egy léggyel, az egyik képkockán egy kis felirattal a második képhez amin a "CAT" felirat van kirakva szines szimbólumokkal...arra nem tudok rájönni:(

Excuse me Mistery, of course a translation...I said to fern the server is down, and i ask a little hint in a "specified" level, which is a big mistery for me :)
Sorry for my bad english :(
And you Mistery? Do you speak hungarian???:)

stroz

07-31-2007, 04:50 PM

maybe polish (or russian)? ;)

Mistery

07-31-2007, 04:51 PM

Yes, I do, it's my mother tongue :)
But it is difficult for the moderation to moderate different languages, and therefore members are asked to post in English.
In addition, other members don't understand what you post ;)
If you would like to talk Hungarian, please use the PM system :)

Fern

07-31-2007, 04:51 PM

I send you a PM Olcsibacsi! I have to restart my computer :(...

Olcsibacsi

07-31-2007, 04:59 PM

Well, what can I say: Try to empty the cache of your browser, and delete the cookies. This can help sometimes if you have difficulties to access a site.
