That makes me wonder WHO is being congratulated. Is it us humble players, or the hackers that were meeting together?

Oh, and either the urchin subdirectory (and all the carelessly.* files) is gone, or paintover is getting hammered...

Can I scream this out? WHAT HAPPENED?

They are congradulating us after I was just saying that if there were more files with obscure extensions @ aquapolis, they'd give us a clue?! Is that the clue??????

i really don't think the dots mean anything... it's too random to actually reveal anything. Unless it's a constalation. Whose got a star chart handy?

The only thing relevant i may have found is the color of the dots... it's HEX value is 300000

Which is definatley a bit odd, but probably irrelevant.

here it is with just black and white, i knocked out the file cabinet (i think it's irrelevant, if anything the clue is in the dots)

So we have file numbers 1, 4, 9, and 25. All perfect squares, except 16 is left out. Why?

Well, the roots are: 1, 2, 3, 5.

Can you say Fibonacci? I'm betting the next file will be 01000000.jpg, for 64, root 8.

There is the same discussion about new Paintover images in Updates. Should we merge?

Yeah, either 64 will be the next file, or maybe the number 16 is the next clue?

Oh, yeah, and Bizrock pretty much rules. The congrats has to be for him. Smile

Stars..... i think the hint might be the stars. Teh background of the congrats image is stars... and the seemingly random pattern of pixels sure as hell looks like it could be a star pattern.

Can anybody investigate this? I don't even know where i could start.

Maybe if you overlay the congrats image on the dots in the right place it will reveal a constalation?

Am i out on a limb here?

Yes... no? Maybe... man it's late.
