Yea, I have been trying that out a bit, moved back and forth around room 100.
As far as I can tell, you will always be able to make "your" move on the "broken" board after waiting n minutes (n being around 10) and inputing the 227664 code and the keys is the directions you can move in, counting closed doors as unavaible moves (which is probably why you sometimes will see the map without keys).
The "Are you him ?" text seems to appear after some (valid?) inputs.
I also saw the blinking box once, not sure which board it was on though as I was a little too quick to move on.

Well, ok, here's some information I overlooked about i1.gif (I want my user ID on two of those challenges Smile

).

Take a look at the sixth line up from the bottom of the sos-dan part of the gif. Notice anything strange? 'vna' isn't a very common letter combination, is it? So, I looked up the original page, and sure enough 'vna' is probably trying to look like the word 'dynamic': the 'y' has been changed for a 'v'.

Interesting huh? So, then I looked at the one from this thread. Check out the post count! The '5' in 175 has been replaced by an 's'.

I couldn't see any other discrepancies, but there may be.

Anyone else notice that at least on the sos-dan image several letters are not complete? Missing vertical lines, phantom pixels and such...

Good work guys! Esp. Domster.

I was just looking at i2.gif, which we apparently haven't solved yet. I noticed each letter is exactly 5px wide. Can't be a coincidence.

I am pretty much stumped on i2.gif...

All I have are these notes:

There are a total of seven frames in the gif. Each frame contains four rows of characters. Each frame also contains 21 characters, except for one. Frame three only contains 20 visible characters, the last row only containing two characters. Except for that one frame, they are uniform in everything but the characters themselves.
And as for the message, other than the suspiciously bad english, the only thing I can think of would be to remove every fifth letter (shown below). I'm not sure what to make of it, some new words come out along with a lot of gibberish.

Thats what I mean. I know the message, and apparently the PM thought I was on the right track, but I have no idea what to do with this block of text.
