That is the cheesiest game ever.

Edit: It's a magic eye. Unfocus your eyes or look through the computer screen to see it.

If you still can't get it, here's the answer: [spoiler].../imagepuz/o.htm[/spoiler]

I'm up to 15 but I can't figure it out. :(

Edit: m00, manually adjust the contrast (or the threshold, or even the curves) in photoshop.

Alright, here's the ultimate spoiler (you cheating [IMAGE]s). First, I'll give you a hint, followed by the solution, and finally the answer. Just highlight the black text to see.



Stage 1

The house.

Hint: [spoiler]It's right in front of you[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Seriously, if you can't see this, you deserve to die you moron. Go back into your cave, Grog. Fix your eyepatch Captian Ben.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]rsvt.htm[/spoiler]

Stage 2

Lots of white letters.

Hint: [spoiler]Also right in front of your face.[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]It's a little bit fuzzed out, but other than that, you'd have to be blind not to see it.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]tykca.htm[/spoiler]

Stage 3

The psychadelic white noise of doom.

Hint: [spoiler]It's a magic eye.[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Cross your eyes a little bit or try to look into your screen to see a 3D image.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]o.htm[/spoiler]

Stage 4

The void.

Hint: [spoiler]It isn't perfectly white...[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Go into photoshop or get gimp and adjust the contrast or the threshold so they'll go as high as they can, or mess around with the curves.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]pylc.htm[/spoiler]

Stage 5

Buncha funky letters.

Hint: [spoiler]There's a pattern that all the letters follow except for a few.[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Highlight it in IE. How does this work? IE's highlight is just a grid of blue and transparent pixels that overlay an image. Because of the location of the pattern on the letters, some are covered by the blue pixels of the highlight while some remain the same because the transparent pixels overlap them. Alternatively, you could make a new layer in photoshop as a grid and overlay it onto the picture, but that's no fun.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]shdfe.html[/spoiler]

Stage 6

The nonexistent picture.

Hint: [spoiler]It's hidden in the coding.[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Save the image, then open it up in notepad.[/spoiler]
Answer: [spoiler]syyk.htm[/spoiler]


Stage 7

The abstract painting.

Hint: [spoiler]What's the name of the picture?[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Right click and go to properties (or click 'save as', then look at the name of the image.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]mukki.htm[/spoiler]

Stage 8

Whatch out for the scary ghost!

Hint: [spoiler]The letters aren't all the same color.[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Open the picture up in photoshop, click the paint bucket and choose any color. Tthen, click on any letter to see what stands out. You may click the wrong letter, in that case, back up and choose a new one.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]ca.htm[/spoiler]

Stage 9

The fuzzball.

Hint: [spoiler]It's at the center of the image.[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Photoshop it. Adjust the threshold so that it's near the spike at the low end of the spectrum, or adjust the curves and pull black all the way into the lower right corner.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]uas.htm[/spoiler]

Stage 10

The obvious.

Hint: If you need a hint, you need to shoot yourself.

Stage 11

The abstract pink.

Hint: [spoiler]The image is a gif.[/spoiler]

Hint 2:[spoiler]It's transparent.[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Just open it up in photoshop and the answer should pop out at you.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]nybjcy.htm[/spoiler]

Stage 12

The large black bar.

Hint: [spoiler]The letters are right there on the screen.[/spoiler]

Hint 2: [spoiler]There is another pattern that extends down from the left and across the bottom to the right.[/spoiler]

Hint 3: [spoiler]Don't forget to put it in caps.[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]There pattern in the corner is an uppercase L, the bar is an uppercase I.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]LI.htm[/spoiler]

Stage 13

The pattern.

Hint: [spoiler]The letters are right there, but not left to right.[/spoiler]

Hint 2: [spoiler]EVERYTHING is in uppercase letters.[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Read the letters from top to bottom.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]IOV.HTM[/spoiler]

Stage 14

The slightly-tricky-but-not-so-much-that-a-fourth-grader-can't-get-it one.

Hint: [spoiler]Again, it's right in front of you.[/spoiler]

Hint 2: [spoiler]The characters are mushed together a bit and are seperated by small lines.[/spoiler]

Solution: [spoiler]Just read across, but note how the letters are seperated by small lines.[/spoiler]

Answer: [spoiler]IVVVO.HTM[/spoiler]

Stage 15

The bright fuzz.

I can't figure this one out, but I'm sure you have to play around with the channels somewhat.

Kyklis
May 8, 2005, 5:25 am
Oh. I figured out 15 a diffrent way. I fired up Photstudio ( prett much the same as photoshop ) and seperated it into HSV channels. I got 2 black boxes and a white one. Then I filled both the black ones with white, and the answer was there.

Woah, sorry Ben. I thought the whole point of calling yourself a pirate was because you were okay with people joking about your eye. Talk about mixed messages.

It's funny how all of you mess up with contrasts and other [IMAGE] on level 4 while you could just fill the background with a different color on paint.
