Seth kept repeating this in chat:
'Kt e sxtÙtLe_sÖt@tle s t!t?e sªt$t¡ees§tàt e+

That's what we get for the first frame. I think there was a problem with transcribing the GIF because frames 1 and 7 are keyframes. Anyway, looking at the above now it says:

testtesttesttesttest...

Didn't see it earlier Smile

xnbomb will try again with the individual BMPs and then we'll work on this again to get the rest of the sites.

Anyway, good job Ehsan and Xnbomb!

[20:58] <inquiringmind> a test?
[20:58] <inquiringmind> oh!

[20:59] <inquiringmind> it appears that we've all been staring at quite a test
[20:59] <grumpyboy> heh

Oops, looks like colormaps on the first and last frame got corrupted when I pulled them out of the animated GIF. Sorry. Attached is a corrected version.

I caught it but I didn't know what you were talking about. I think that was before Ehsan joined us in the chat with Seth. At any rate, this is excellent work. I hope that Australia has something to find. If it does, I want to see video of the whole search. Very Happy

Because I'm fairly certain that Seth said he was doing every other pixel to begin with. I'm not at home now, so I can't check my log (the log posted in Interactions doesn't seem to be the whole thing) but I remember thinking it odd that Seth said he was doing every other pixel when the results he was pasting was clearly every pixel.

EDIT: Yep, now that the rest of the chat is posted, you can see where he said he was doing every other pixel - which doesn't match up with the results he was pasting.

[21:44] <inquiringmind> I wonder if all of the frames are going to use the same pattern like the first?
[21:44] <Caspian> Are you doing every third pixel or every pixel?
[21:44] <inquiringmind> the first one was every other pixel

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

Anywya, Im sure one of you did it, but I updated Seth just in case you didnt.

Good luck Caspian.. record your adventure for us!

There's definitely more.
For example, the 4th frame starts out:
"You'll want to take the"
and then falls apart for me as I can't see this pattern everyone's talking about.

EDIT: Also a reference to a "very special place".

EDIT2: I see the pattern on frame 6, now. You're good, Ehsan.

There's been a lot of confusion as what Ehsan's pattern is. Hopefully this will clear it up. The first line is the raw ASCII result. The second line is Ehsan's code. The periods I added in to show that you take that number as well (since the 2s mean take 2 letters in a row). The third line is the output line. I've put in underscores to show where you would take the space.

As Ehsan said, where there is a 0 you ignore that letter. Where there is a 2 you take that letter and the one next to it. Where there is a 1, you take only that letter.

Code:

ثIn7 tضhاe ─n╩agtiêo♣n|'┐s 6w┘a[t┌e&ri╙n┐gd ٌho▐l
02.02.0102.010102.01010102.0101010102.010101010102
 In _t h e_ n a ti o n ' s_ w a t e ri n g _ h o l

Final "solution": In the nation's watering hol[...]


Hopefully this makes it easier for people to see what Ehsan was getting at.

Pattern is definitely different on four.
Haven't figured it out, yet. Good luck.

the pattern seems to be:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
110010110100100 repeated three times
where 1 = use this letter, 0 = don't use this letter.
Although, the very first letter seems to be a typo on my version (?)
EDIT: note this DOES include spaces


I'll have a look at the rest of the file and try and apply the rule...

All I can get to is "Youll want to take the" as well.. then it dissolves in nothing I can pull out.. DAMMIT
