 		Q51
I noticed something in the title on the page:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The "a" in "Can" is actually an image. Opening the image and enlarging it gives you something strange. Not sure what to do with it.

Hopefully this will help someone so that we can get through this together.

 		Hmm.. I cannot seem to get question 30. Anyone tell me what they are looking for in an answer. Not looking for the answer, just kind of give me a nudge. I am not sure what to do with the picture and numbers.

 		Q51
This puzzle can't be that hard, it's only worth 0.25 IPs. I've been looking at the different fonts used in the title, the red and blue boxes, not seeing anything that could be an answer. Where has everybody gone to?

 		Q51
Hmm, found a word with the lines from the pic, but it didn't work. Sad
The lines are surely binary ( numbers from 1 to 14 ). I took only the marked ones and together with the "a" i got a 5 letter word ( e.g. "blue red blue", usually in binary it would be 1*4+0*2+1*1 =5, but the first blue is marked with five dots, so i used: 5*4+0*2+1*1=21 )

Maybe the picname of the front pic is important too?


Edit: Lol, ok, it's not Rebel Yell Rock On
Maybe i have to overthink my theory again Laughing

 		Q51
If you use a Caesarian Shift of 21 on the title of the "eye" image, you end up with "idol". May or may not be significant though.

 		Question 51
Hi Everyone! I registered, but I still haven't received the confirmation link (yes, I checked my folder folder too), so I post as a guest again.

It looks like everyone comes up with the same ideas for 51, so logically we must be on the right track. At least I hope we are. Laughing

As I am lazy to write down everything I thought yet another time, here's the link to my post on another forum:
http://www.gamershood.com/forum/showpost.php?p=856243&postcount=205

And I emailed the creators to ask hint and possibly a verifications of the thoughts I had.

If anyone had some other ideas for this question I would love to hear them. I hope I receive my conformation email soon..

 		The Usual Suspects
all seem to be assembled then...
I seem to have gone down all the same blind alleys as everyone else - it ain't Morse (either way - there's always one that doesn't work and then it doesn't really give anything useful) and binary looks promising - that just looks too coincidental not to be useful...joining the dots doesn't really do much for me though ... the penny isn't dropping yet.

[Tried fiddling with the picture in photoshop but nothing interesting popped out.]

[Pretty sure they've used that eye picture once or twice before - could there be something in either picture of a steganographic (sp?) nature using the filename as a key? (But that sounds 'too complicated' and sort of outside the rules of the game, so probably not worth pursuing... just thinking out loud...]

Back to find my thinking cap...

 		Q51
Received a reply from the creator(s) regarding question 51
Quote:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Yup, it's binary.
Hint 2 (although this could puzzle you): You're over-thinking it.


That's our hints for 51.

PS
Please don't ask for hints for questions 54 and 55 - we don't have any.

Not sure if I had to spoiler it. Laughing Perhaps..
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
we need to take "over-thinking" very literally, or maybe it's cryptic hint? Confused
Or it just means we are overthinking it already. Laughing


Sorry, it's not much of a help, but hey I at least tried to get a hint.
