I opened the newest image in Paint - and when I grabbed the bottom corner and pulled to make the image larger, what I pulled was like an orange bottom layer... try it.

stegdetect only seems to work on jpgs - i don't know if you can put stegs in gifs (I imagine it's quite hard with an indexed palette).

Do each of the smaller blue square regions look like a zoomed out version of the first black and white gif? Maybe not exactly, but certainly in terms of random pixels. Personally, I think the images aren't key to what we need to do next. Eric seemed to hint at that, anyway.

I don't suppose anybody knows anyone in Detroit do they? Maybe knowing what that building is might help.

I live in Michigan - about 3 hrs northwest of Detroit. I grew up in the Detroit Metro area, though. Which building?

this is the link - I think it was right back at the beginning of the thread.

Googling for "6op 1 libra" now shows that "onfilm" has also been posting to the Google Earth community: http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/897087/an/0/page/39#897087

Is there any way to figure out where exactly he means by "this location"?

OK - so we need someone to go to Detroit and see what's on the corner of Congress Street West and 1st Street?

6.14.07 18*20'06.15" N 64*56'34.28" W elevation 14M

That points to the island of St Thomas (in the British Virgin Islands)
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=18+20'06.15%22+N64+56'34.28%22+W&ie=UTF8&ll=18.332529,-64.924736&spn=0.271799,0.6427&z=11&om=1

(If anyone is wondering, I found this on an archive of highfivegame.com:
http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:AAuV3Obu3a0J:www.highfivegame.com/+highfivegame&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=uk&client=firefox-a)

Doubting Thomas again?

Think we're going round in circles - check out the first page of the thread Wink Also, the island fits with the newspaper story's setting, and probably Eric's tale of being taken off to an island somewhere.

Actually, 14th June corresponds to "last week", so maybe those map points are to do with Eric's location or something.

End of day summary

OK, here's what I got...

1. I'm in an odd position. It seems I know people involved, but I'm not sure how much they know they're involved (e.g. Magpie). Eric is suggesting I not make some things public, so I'm holding back a little until I know more.

2. He does say in a GTalk: "20:51:32 onfilm@...: Things are very quiet... I think it/they are preparing something big... ". Santa's on his way Smile

3. I've been researching the genetic stuff a little. The genetic link we got from 6op1libra.com is actually for 1 gene, the YES1 gene. It's found in humans on chromosome 18 (!), and seems to be some kind of viral thingy. If you have 2 chromosome 18s (making a 47th chromosome), that's called Trisomy 18, or Edwards Syndrome: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwards_syndrome

I'm mostly away from screen this weekend. Typical Wink

Don't know if this had been mentioned before or if it is a change on the http://www.highfivegame.com/ site but this is on the page in black text. The "Counting: 1891" thing is a counter and has the +11 tag in it again for some reason?.

Again sorry if this is old news but I didn't see any mention of it while looking through the pages here. Oh and hi.....I'm new around here Very Happy

06

Santa is coming.





Counting: 1891

You are not expected to find it.

Hi godson2k7, welcome to the beginning Smile I think someone's mentioned the +11 thing before here, but no-one's really answered it. Maybe it's how the counter program works?

If no-one's done one by Tuesday, I'll try to get together a concise page on what we know so far, and what needs to be answered still.

Oh, and I got this in a mail from Eric:

Quote:

Have you seen a snowflake? It means something... it asked me to place
it back again... it has been a long time.


There's the snowflake over at highfivegame.com. I find it odd that it's a bitmap rather than GIF/JPG/PNG...

[Edit] Opening the snowflake bmp in a hex editor reveals the text "SANTA WORKS AS A CODEBREAKER FOR NSA" inside it.

So now we have a Santa as well as a rabbit?

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I googled c2c2 again and clicked all the sites I had overlooked the first time.

One was a genetics one:

http://datf.cbi.pku.edu.cn/browsefamily.php?familyname=C2C2-GATA#Intro

I have no idea what any of this is about. Does anyone know anyone who's into genetics?
Maybe I should ask Nick/Giles... hmm...
