http://defect.libereelmundo.org/defstuff/defect.png is the unsolved puzzle, yes?

So the solve is *something* to do with children...?

Just guessing what the answer might be at the moment -

I am pretty sure he means that the solve is just like the solve in caution.html which is already in the defstuff folder.

Who solved that one?

Me and someone if I remember rightly (WiSH maybe?), regardless, we've been trying loads of stuff with that puzzles, reading it every way we can, and still can't get anything... floopy.

Ok, I have tried several things...so far not working out too well.

I tried doing exactly the solution for caution.html. Problem is the words don't line up properly. i.e. free is the last word and there is no 14th letter in it.

Then I tried it from bottom to top since it is supposed to be backwards...same problem. I also tried it from bottom to top from right to left and left to right. Did the same thing with the file names I listed before...so far nothing that makes any sense alone or after ROTing it.

Caution was solved by rearranging the names into alphabetical order and then reading diagonally, yes? So might it be the other way round in some sort? Arranging in reverse alphabetical order? Or reading across the other angle? Or similar?

I'm going to try now.

EDIT: Well, okay, a chinese takeout is here now, so I'm going to eat that first. Then I'll try.
