 		Reward Pic Puzzle [4-24-05]
There is something more to this reward pic.

New Clue: Khan Kubla

[Spec] I think he may be telling us that we are on the right track, we need to go through the clues and reward pics to find the next step maybe?

Could be pointing to this part of the Kubla Khan poem

Quote:
Here the Khan Kubla commanded a palace to be built, and a stately garden thereunto. And thus ten miles of fertile ground were inclosed with a wall.


New Reward pic:

Notice: "E" in top left corner

It's now been pointed out that if you flip the picture the "E" becomes a 3 and you also see the faint 7 (3 7 or 37)

threepwood (Great catch by the way!)

Also posted, "I've noticed the Hi-Res render of the sports car now has a red 3 printed on the headlight" http://www.ourcolony.net/thesecret/1426.jpg

Do we have a pattern here 37 in the reward pic and in it's filename.....

filename could be a phone number?

it also looks like this may just be coming together, this is not the first time this has been talked about. Notice that the 3 has popped up on the Hi-Res pic before

This is getting split up and people are losing track so I thought a summary was in order.

Numerous pictures have turned up via ourcolony.net with hidden numbers and possible clues.

1. The bubble/blob pictures on the front page; early on there was a bit of discussion on the sources of these pictures, I think most were found but no one has found any relevance as yet. New pictures pop up from time to time.

2. Gamem8kers gallery; not linked anywhere on the site now the page still exists at; http://ourcolony.net/gamem8ker/index.html one of these pictures was used as the original for the ant bubble picture, each photo has hidden bits of binary (was it binary?) code which when played around with spell out "Next Gen"

3. The secret controller pictures; http://www.ourcolony.net/thesecret/1.jpg and http://www.ourcolony.net/thesecret/2.jpg were revealed for answering challenges early on, both pictures have a "hidden" 1 in it.

4. The Ferrari 360 puzzle; when the individual puzzle pieces were joined together someone spotted that the puzzle version, and the "better look" version had a small difference; a hidden number 3 (comparison picture here at bottom; http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9694&start=15 ), also the fact that it is a 360 car links to the rumoured name for the next gen Xbox console.

5. The locations of the 360 pieces was also interesting;

http://ourcolony.net/images/challenges/335.jpg
http://ourcolony.net/images/challenges/467.jpg
http://ourcolony.net/images/challenges/599.jpg
http://ourcolony.net/images/challenges/731.jpg
http://ourcolony.net/images/challenges/863.jpg
http://ourcolony.net/images/challenges/995.jpg
http://ourcolony.net/images/challenges/1127.jpg
http://ourcolony.net/images/challenges/1259.jpg

with each jpg number rising by 132 each time, so the final complete picture should have been at 1391.jpg, but was in fact at 1426.jpg, all spec as to what relevance these numbers have.

6. Someone else noticed something else looked to have been photoshopped out of the original Ferrari image, some say it looks like an x, others speculate it may just cover a giveaway banner reflection. http://ourcolony.net/thesecret/1426.jpg


So we are yet to discover the relevance, if any, of;

the bubble pictures
the hidden 1's
the hidden 3
the puzzle jpg location increments 1391/1426/132
the photoshopped patch on the ferrari picture.

I think that's everything?

 		OK, if you rotate the image to the most 'upright' view, it looks like a 3, and a faint 7.

Also, I've noticed the Hi-Res render of the sports car now has a red 3 printed on the headlight http://www.ourcolony.net/thesecret/1426.jpg ...
(not the same as the spotlight reflection "3" that was removed from the original clue version http://www.suteki-square.com/syphon/images/glare.jpg)

 		Maybe we'll end up with 3E's or something. And that car pic is taken from a screenshot of a new Xbox 360 game, right?
