And if you can overlook the first one, they are squares of primes.

And no the next one doesn't work (1111001) Crying or Very sad

Yeah, and I tried just about every binary pixel operation - Nada

Is there a specific Paintover.net thread here? Someone start it, and put the pictures so far under their dates. And keep updating it as more pictures start.

October 09, 2003
- File Cabinet
- Congrats
October 05, 2003
- "et tu?"
October 01, 2003
- Little Girl (what's the name of this work)

There is the same discussion on the new paintover picture at puzzles. Should we merge somehow?

For those interested in the file numbers:

The files we have, including the Congrats, are 1, 4, 9, and 25.

The roots of those are 1, 2, 3, and 5.

Looks like the start of the Fibonacci sequence to me. I'm guessing that the next pic will be 01000000.gif, for 64, eight squared.

The problem is Ones (1's)

It has one too few to be the Finonacci sequence;

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13...

and one too many to be primes.

2, 3, 5, 7, 11...

But I can't help feeling we're on the right lines

ok cool

ok cool, =) no more need for disecting the pics now into a billion bits. So its probably this. The primer is the file name. The first pic is a cabinet missing its name to its files. The date theory about the binary file names can be thrown out the window because now they are over the place with the binary file names.

Just wondering

does the fact that the gif pic is 800x600 and half of it is filled with black has something to do??? Maybe an encrypted password in the pic???
i mean, they could have used a canvas the size of the drawer....

Marl, I'd like to see them get two files named 00000001.jpg on the server. That'd be a trick Wink

There were enough files called careless Wink

Besides there's .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe but I know what you mean.

I'm moving over to the other thread - someobody has to.

Well actually I'm boggin off, but that's where I just posted.

Please move this discussion to this thread in the puzzles section.

Update threads should be used to establish what the update is, where the new images are for example and a description of them. This thread has already accomplished that.

The relevance or hidden meaning behind the images should be discussed in the puzzles section. Thanks Smile

Locking.
