Here's the file path-

And I agree- those numbers have to mean something.

Is it a date? A phone number?

Maybe they're letters.
9=I
17=Q
15=O
1=A
26=Z
13=M

IQOAZM... of course, why didn't I see it before Razz

Have we tried seeing if it spells anything? Maybe that's the password to the forum.

"Reality is hidden within what you see"

So, essentially, that string of numbers is within what we see.

Maybe the picture is just a red herring?

Hmm. Give me a sec, and I'll run those letters through an anagram decoder.

I tried, but it wouldn't come up with anything.

Here'a a list from one site. I'll try a few others...

AIM AMI AZO MOA ZOA AI AM MA MI MO OM

11 words found

I also got this from another site:

'IQOAZM' is an anagram of:

mozaiq

There was a link that took me to this page, but I don't know if that's relevant.

HA! Of course, Seigfried LOVES death metal Smile

Seriously though, that at least sound like a word.

I don't know how to manipulate images but does each color have a value on an axis? Like blue=4 red=8 etc... maybe that would unmuddle the image.

Yeah, I highly doubt that has anything to do with the clue. Rock On

Perhaps they mean "mosaic"? The picture could technically be called a mosaic, though I'd lean more towards collage.

VERYVERYVERY good call on who ever called out mozaiq. I picked up those letters but never thought to anagram them. For those of you less ARG savy, Mozaiq is a steganogrophy program used to hide files/messages into pictures. They come out as png files.

If you want to google search mozaiq (which will most likly lead you to mozaiq.org) and do it yourself. If not the password is below

Hey, Cait-

I guess this means the death metal option is out of the running? Mr. Green

Still, it's kind of hard for me to believe that my randomness helped solve this clue. I'm still giggling madly about it over here.
