This might sound odd but has anyone tried looking over the site and pictures with 3d glasses? You know the red and blue lens things, might be a message hidden that can only be seen that way, I haven't got a pair lying around to test this.


Also, is there anything in the music on the Holomove.com website, it's rather irritatingly regular.


This is only my second arg after Halo3 IRIS so I'm fairly new to this.

So it's been said, attempts to desteg images on freyja capital turn up negatives, with the exception of the freja_HQ image, which returns an error message in stegdetect concerning a bogus quantization table in the image. Did some research, eliminated the most likely cause of this error - due to Photoshop's way of managing preexisting meta data - by removing all metadata from the image headers, same error. The image has a distinct band of distortion running horizontally on it, but other than that I would say there's nothing that is supposed to scream hidden message, unless you want me to post the quantization tables of the image derived from jpegsnoop for your own personal curiosity in searching for any notable pattern. I'm more inclined to wait on a response from the contact form than to grasp at threads.

Wireless - Post #45 of this thread, and I still have no clue to its relevance.

Well I can't decode or desteg anything but I can cook... up a chef resume. I haven't heard back yet. Maybe I should call and see if they got it?

CodeWtrN8 Blog Update!
Audible Sigh

[*hoping I'm the first to post this*]
New Post! ^^

Audible sigh
I would be willing to let all this stuff go as kooky happenstance, but then there's this

which was the stack of notes and papers I like to call my non-traditional organization system. Obviously meant for me to find, obviously asking for something to be done without just asking. I have enough to do and enough to worry about. I got three calls from work while at lunch. I would like to just worry about one thing at a time (chew, swallow, then work). Actually I would like to not worry about anything. I am in serious need of a snow day. Damn sunny Southern California. I'm not sleeping enough, I am cranky, and work isn't fun anymore.

JustLurking in chat realized that the Roman Numerals on the prize coin are the same as the IP address for YouTube: 208.65.153.251

It has to be a nobel medal for either "Physics and Chemistry", "Physiology or Medicine", or "Literature",

Because the other two types have a different design on their face.


See link below and quote from it.


http://www.ceptualinstitute.com/galleria/awards/nobel/nobelmedals.html

Quote:
The medals in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine and Literature are identical on the face; it shows the image of Alfred Nobel and the years of his birth and death (1833-1896). The Peace medal and
the medal for the Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences have a slightly different design.
The areverse varies according to the institution awarding the prize


edit * the test on the bottom left says E-LINDBERG 1902. He was the designer of the three medals it could be. My guess would be it is going to be for physics

The new puzzle looks like it needs to be folded.

I wonder what it'd look like if you were to try folding a paper crane from the image.

Edit: Toasty beat me to it.

The image is square after all, so it would make sense given that and the cranes sent in the trailhead.

Already tried both crane and "fortune teller/cootie catcher" - nothing.

However - given it's design, I think it needs to be folded in *some* fashion.

In one orientation of a crane, I get :
"D I G G" on one side and "385 73 00 0" on the other.

Possibly this user:

I wonder what Booher Hoffman and Messier could possibly have in common?

I wouldn't read too much into the cranes, on ARGNet, they had a tip they were a tribut to Dave Szulborski, their resident puzzel solver who is seriously ill, there is supposed to be an effort to fold 1000 cranes, see
http://www.argn.com/archive/000726an_emergenc_at_holomove.php

My first thought was it was related to the scan.png image on his blog and the numbers are co-ordinates, ie 1 down 4 across or something.

I'm still playing with orientation.
