Looks like a special - well known "language" here.
But where to start reading?

"look here" is not very specific...

Ahh i see. Thanks for the Info.

There exist another method for playing it easier: Just follow the direct link http://www.hacker.org/challenge/misc/maeda.swf, then press the "F11"-key for maximizing the screen. Now you get much more "room" for your mouse :-) But only half as funny as the "play"-context...

All of you found two images?! Are you talking about two in summary? Haven´t you found the third one? :o 1st PNG in Filenames 2nd PNG in Filelength 3rd: After Position 0x00229622 (around the middle of the file) there is an invalid zip-envelope/header, so normal zip-decompression ignores this part. In...

Take a look into the solved-thread. There you will see the details...

Can somebody give a little hint, in which "format" the result has to be?

I cleared the first hurdle, but i don´t know how the result has to be submitted...

That was a challenge how i like it, perfect!

Straight forward with Ups & Downs.

ok, and here is mine - if someone is interested... 1s/s/,x?\ ? 1s/x1<p x2^-1+?\! \1 s/x1<2^1vx?\? ? 1>\ \ P-1*59+1 / \ +1 : 2^ s/x1-1<1^1>x2^-?\?1> \ \ +1 / \ -1 / \ +1 /

Let´s add one additional try that did no work:

It´s not an ASCII-Art-Challenge.

Take a look at the Pixels - programmatically...

@m!nus: adum did not change the image. It is correct and has to be trasformed - not modified.

Not easy to give hints without showing the solution...

I´m sorry, but probably missundertstood. I did not manipulate the Picture. It is a result of a "transformation" with the tool as efe said. If you take each RGB-color-byte of each pixel of the picture (R, G, B, R, G, B, and so on) and write it to an ASCII-file row per row, line by line you ...

Sorry Guys,

but it is not as hard as you think! There ist no need to use any tools. But if it helps - why not.

Only bits, bytes and Text are the "tools" you need.

Happy challenging

Overall solved it... But i dont agree to everybody here, who is telling us to use the "easiest" way.

The pure decoding-mechanism (!) of the message is extremely easy - correct. But to examine this, you have to go into many blind alleys...

You have to use two methods - one after another.

Both are in your list.

The challenge is not as complicated as you think.

Probably you find a different way to decrypt the sequence.
