FYI: We have one hour and fourty one minutes remaining before we are stuck with this challenge for another 24 hours. No pressure here.

EDIT: Whether we hate gamem8ker or not, it's not going to help to send him SPAM or hate-mail. We either suck it up and deal with it, or we give up.

Does anyone know what the name of the flowers are on the desk? Could be something if the flowers have a specific meaning (you how botonists are about flowers and their meanings)

If we're really lucky maybe gamem8ker will post a new challenge even if this hasn't been solved. He could just have more than one active challenge at the same time. That way we could just work on something else for a while to clear our minds. Of course, I doubt this will happen. We're probably stuck with this challenge for a while.

Ok guys, I think we need a quick reminder about the game thing again, remember the last challenge. The gamem8ker doesn't seem to want game titles or car names etc... instead he wants cryptic phrases. Also, if the truth is hidden in this picture, and you were to read some of the words from the crossword as find [***] by my game. Then you could essentially say "Find truth by my game" This could be nothing but it is just as far as we all are right now anyway. Is somebody willing to recap these 46 pages, I have been on this thing since about 10 pm yesterday back when it was 8 pages, now 46 and we HAVE ruled out somethings. We just haven't ruled out the obvious TRUTH about the picture.

the truth is staring us in the face, we are just all looking through the mirror instead of at it this time.

EDIT: Wargames... Joshua was the computer named after Dr. Faulkens son (The designer). Joshua died early in his fathers life. I was named after the computer in the film and because a networking tech. Wierd huh?


I've been following this entire thread myself, which means I have read all 40+ pages, and I am sorry to say that there's really no new develops since yesterday. Everything seems to be a dead end at this point. In other words, after the initial 10 pages, everything is pretty much TROUT.

I propose that we lock this threat and start anew.

In fact, all we need to solve the puzzle should be in the pic and the pic alone. For example in the last challenge we got white dashes, which turns into barcode, which turns out to be a phone number. THIS challenge shouldn't be that different. Everything else is just speculation and is distracting everyone.

hey i'm not stupid, thank you for agreeing with me. Like I said, I have been on this damned thread since 10 yesterday and have gone every single way possible from this picture. Unfortunately it has turned up nothing. So the only thing left, the truth, must be in the picture itself.

By the way we already binaried it and thought about stenography. Unfortunately if it was stenoed, it would take nearly eternity to crack the cipher.

EDIT: What abot truth in hebrew?

Just thought I'd mention, I looked up the game, All Star Baseball 2003 on gamefaqs and by following a broken review link through to the TeamXbox website and re-searching for ASB2003, I found that Frank Thomas' card number in the game is no. 136. Whether this number relates to anything I don't know.

I tried the word truth in every language in this website: http://www.worldlingo.com/en/products_services/worldlingo_translator.html

Ok guys, remember how the barcode was placed so deliberately, so pointedly that a monkey with half a brain couldn't miss it?(the white dashes at least, maybe not the barcode itself) Well I have no reason to believe this challenge is any different. A box with random letters in it?! That has to have some significance! Have we tried everything? Reading it all backwards? Right to left? Diagonaly? it has to be something, because he wouldn't post a challenge without an answer! *ends rant*

lets all focus and even say the obvious about the pic if indeed the truth is there. the truth is, this picture has been altered, is the reflection (not that i can make it out) real or altered as well. also the truth is that there is at least ONE obvious word group which is GAMEFIND.

also image width is 2592 px
height is 1944 px
and size of file itself is 521.53 KB (534051 bytes)

anyone else wanna take stabs at obvious (or not so obvious) truths about the photo?
