May I ask you to elaborate a bit? I'm afraid i've solved it at random :]

UPDATE:
Oh, it's a unique pixel! The answer was something like third object I
tried as an answer and guessed.

Me, too. Convert to ppm, create histogram in Java, sort in Excel. Oh, well...

I did have one question, though: someone in the "Challenges" forum claimed to have found the original. Where is it? I spent a lot of time looking for it online but never could.

I think the image file for this challenge was taken from Open Street Map, several years ago. So it would very probably look different today.

Thanks for the information, and for introducing me to a very nice mapping site which I did not know existed!
