<?php
$img = imagecreatefrompng ('http://www.hacker.org/challenge/img/blue.png');
for ($h = 11; $h >= 0; $h--)
{
for ($w = 0; $w < 33; $w++)
echo chr (imagecolorat ($img, $w, $h) & 0xFF);

@netfish: that's an amazingly simple solution, well done. I converted the image to PPM binary with IrfanView and loaded the text in Vim.
