Probably goes with the "when I bust at blackjack" puzzle. (duh, MK)

Even and odd I'm guessing. Not sure of the logic though. You'd have to ask the solver.

It turns out the corruption for danadress.jpg was that there was a gif hidden inside of it. Swoop was great enough to pull out the picture and get it working. It's a picture of a solitare game.

Looks more like blackjack to me too. It certainly doesn't follow the rules of any solitare game I know of.

Edit: Some hands are winners - some are "busts".

Numbers of the cards

If you go with blackjack scores you get the following numbers:


7 / 23 / 21 / 5 / 19 / 22 / 19

26 / 14 / 24 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 22


this is assuming that you use the most beneficial value for the ace (being 1 or 11) depending on the situation.

all the values are 26 or less .. do they spell something?

Well, there's only 41 cards shown... does that mean we're puzzling with the other 11 cards? (not counting jokers like myself)

No card is repeated twice in that embedded picture. Does this mean anything?

edit - 7 of diamonds, queen of clubs, two of clubs

That they're playing blackjack from a single deck? Dunno

yeah, I think this is a blackjack puzzle... 3 images are clues to this one...
The 14 numbers, the Sad when busting, and the hidden image. Somehow they go together.

The answer to the blackjack puzzle is "guess not".

{edit} ok, ok, you want an explanation. tsk. Smile

Take all the card totals from the blackjack hands. Ignore ones over 21 (busted). Index into the alphabet. Voila!
