Well, I don't have much knowledge in binary so... I think I'm done I've read that page a few times and can't make sense of it.
I''m just going to try a few things in case I get lucky. "codeword is elucidator" ASCII Code: 099 111 100 101 119 111 114 100 032 105 115 032 101 108 117 099 105 100 097 116 111 114 Binary: 01100011 01101111 01100100 01100101 01110111 01101111 01110010 01100100 00100000 01101001 01110011 00100000 01100101 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101001 01100100 01100001 01110100 01101111 01110010 "elucidator" ASCII Code: 101 108 117 099 105 100 097 116 111 114 Binary: 01100101 01101100 01110101 01100011 01101001 01100100 01100001 01110100 01101111 01110010
Is it a YinYang - If it were it would make so much sense, when the sword was black and white, I thought of this, but then the frame of the sword is twisted on this symbols giving you the think outside of the frame.
O.K. so I don't actually have time to solve this, but I believe I understand what is happening. I like to see people learning, so I will double the reward by matching the existing prize to the winner. This could make it too easy, but I don't think. I might even be wrong. So.... This 'image' isn't really an image, it's a coded message packaged as a png. You will need to open the file as binary or hex or some other form to get to the body of the message. I am guessing that the message will then need to be decoded using the "Code is Elucidator" I'm not into decoding, but it will surely be encoded on one of the formats in the Wiki page offered above. I can open the file using a utility like 'notepad++' (not the standard windows notepad) and view the source but it isn't plain text in any of the formats I have tried. If I am completely off with my reasoning, please correct me Salesman, but my match to the prize stands.
I don't know what this is but I think its the code for the picture : ‰PNG IHDR ô – Ú³g\ PLTE ÿÿÿ ¿¿¿ßßß___ŸŸŸ???Ư°„ ?IDATxœíÛÏoÓ0Æñ×N³åhÐ`׊TãZ•¤Û±m2Öc »T‰kù1©ÇHåÇvZh5$$ µÈ¾ ©Êœ\ÞGñ¼¼s* ð;jhDúa 9¾‡ÑÛOgƒ´x‘}ÒÙU§;Œ?d•¥76º™OC×v`Qõ._U³ÓºwRѺz«ê<vÑÍEèÚL¹ÙýD”*Ëdµè(û“=á¢B×v`Jt]´¼^ßîDO¾„®íÀ¢ê6/«YT}“ìâ:²^îý„ŸôB×v`?—¹©Ìc‡Jšenq º6 ð¶}[¿éÙ¢µ ÙNËjäAÛ^iQûÇö´èû —–wãÏ®u ]׬ôÈGÏã;û1+m”{’¯C×ugeÝ÷èbâFùþí0ÒÝDïºè—o Oô<±wM£²¥ê)•èZ½ë(–÷¶©»<åzØb±ö¬´À\p ÁºÒ ¹ë,"Œ Ê‹ºÓM+º—ž° ( ¢Ú-…êh²Ö§vƲ Œ(œ§vØ^r‡^ŠÀ Z)ëj¸¬1àZ‰À ájÛ!¢é]ër¢ì¨ººî¥ç¬òÁ¬¬éã£+azf§uÚ'Û)zwm…颞‰Þ¦Vœxk¢k•ë&j}´Ð¥²‰'£Ú°Inr'Z¶ŠÀôKo&øÒÙuôhÜLùÑg BYÚfl>ß/qˆâ$¹Ô ¼geäTÛéÄÐî_Þ¾× {зÖ/£·î>ó}ÈBuw'αHèos-/α*-kzU5¶¾6^…/÷]0{Þ6sXõæ™ º¦wѵXíc¦GâO6Âßw¼ÂªÉÑn5ºÇÎËÈOzrTÄžm…®Ž/yþdÞÿ».×—GöݼíáÛ ®m7Ððgç¢wº²—Dß/sS Ï.q3´~ÊùîÎ’±÷Òáã¼9Fîüº°z´„0ß]•z ¸ ùï| $tod %9¹‚`‚
Salesman, will you please update the first post to reflect that the prize is not 12k with my 6 and your 6 12k, I want to see someone solve this.
