<There are several strange entries in the attributes for iknowall.jpg. The 'Title' field is '---->.' For a moment I thought maybe this was indicating a direction, eg. spaces after the arrow leading outside of the window, where a not-immediately-visible message was, but there are not. The 'Subject' field is 'gnvkhmfvhmc;' not much to work with here immediately. The 'Comments' field reads 'This time, don't look down...' I think this looks back to riddle 17; turn 2 into 3 and then you will see, where the answer was simply an offset based off of the keyboard. This leads me to think we need to translate 'gnvkhmfvhmc' into something, but its not going to be done by their positions on the keyboard.>
Bingo...

may i ask where did you guys get this thing? i may haven't gotten enough sleep but i sure did not have this info the last 4hrs i worked on this riddle.

change the ending to the pictures name.jpg and then view that source code
 
  • #1,309
I still don't get how to turn those letters into a word.. hmm
 
  • #1,310
i think I am going to have a problem with that cos the source code won't show on my computer for the iknowall.jpg thing. i had that for so long and i don't know how to view it that way.

EDIT: do you mind sending the source code to me?

  • #1,314
Grrarl, Now I feel like an idiot >.< I should have gotten the answer on nr 53 earlier than this..well well, nothing to dwell about
 
  • #1,315
Took another look back here, looks like some people are getting 53 and maybe what I had to say helped a bit. I'm still stuck tho :-P I'll work more on it tomorrow.
 
  • #1,316
anyone else on 55?
 
  • #1,317
forever stuck on 53!

im imbecile! i don't even know how to get that g*@#$ thing! is there any difference if I am using a macintosh cos i surely (100%) can't view the source from .jpeg file. And if that's the case, then i won't be able to move forward! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
 
  • #1,318
notepad is useful speedy (or Mac equivelant)
 
  • #1,319
hmm 54.. lol.. it 's all a blurr to me.. but that's probably no surprise xD
 
  • #1,320
text edit should be the mac equivalent of notepad. but i don't even know what to do with all those letters cos I am positive that i can't view what you guys can. i don't have the clue from the source. I'm getting panicky here, and desperate!

yea...is that a vampire even? and he looks like he is in the woods running...is there a story that goes with this picture?
 
  • #1,322
Speedy: trust me, at first glance, it looks like a bunch of junk... look closer

Iggy: Yes
 
  • #1,323
should i zoom in the picture? cos all i have is stll the picture. no change at all, even in the title bar.
 
  • #1,324
The picture is useless.
 
  • #1,325
huhuhuhu

but its all i have. :frown:

i'll have to take up osX 101 to solve this. or maybe go to an internet bar to do this. :frown:
 
  • #1,326
Well I'll be Ffut.. I can't seem to find how you got all that information O.o

You guys sure work a lot whenever I leave *laughs*

If the way I'm thinking you should find the answer is the way Ffut found it... I'm rather sorry to say for me, it never worked and for some reason, I could not get any information in that manner.

not sure if you can get Mozilla for Mac, but Mozilla has a built in view source for pictures, that you can view with that
 
  • #1,328
Perhaps that's it.. you see, I use Internet Explorer and Firefox.. and my friend who first showed me the riddles insisted I use explorer since he mentioned there were problems with things not showing up on Firefox.

If that's the case.. without Ffut's help, me, Iggy, and perhaps a few more were probably on the right track, but if the track is broken, of course, we were getting nowhere.

you won't believe what i found. if its okay, ill post it:

Talk about fumbling in the dark with this..damn vampires
 
  • #1,331
Ey Greg, how did you figure out nr 54 so fast?
 
  • #1,332
thanks zarii! that felt really stupid.
 
  • #1,333
My eyes are sore :)
 
  • #1,334
err..i hope I am not searching wrong on this one...and i need a narrow my search down
 
  • #1,335
So.. how's it going for everybody else than me on this riddle?
 
  • #1,336
Just...meh
 
  • #1,337
HAHA 1337 post
 
  • #1,338
its hard to search for something you don't know of but we'll get there. I've tried a bunch of names already but no luck...
 
  • #1,339
haha, you guys'll get it
 
  • #1,340
...i haven't even got a name of a vampire yet that fits the picture...half of them of tv and movies and buffy...
 
  • #1,341
Oh please.. no.. no more Buffy ; ;
 
  • #1,342
has anyone else aside from greg has advanced to the next level? (from level 54)
 
  • #1,343
Probably him and Omega ^^

They're quite adept at figuring these things out
 
  • #1,344
I am still 100% NOWHERE on 53, even with Omega giving me the bingo, I have no idea how to use the information I have.

Knowledge without the ability to apply it is useless :-P Back to the grind! I'm going to solve this thing!
 
  • #1,345
Is the picture important in solving 54?
 
  • #1,346

Yeah, I have. Iggy, you're going about 54 the wrong way right now. Look for "suspicious" things.
 
  • #1,347
Zarii: try looking where you don't usually look...
 
  • #1,348
:confused: am i seeing letters on the painting or am i beginning to hallucinate? :smile:
 
  • #1,349
Speedy: um... you might need sleep at that point...
