Yeah xD

How many ways is there to "view"/"look" at something?
I've tried fantasize, imagine, visualization etc.. no luck
 
  • #1,297
im getting reaaallly sick and tired of 53. i know it has to be something obvious, but all my knee jerks fall short.
 
  • #1,298
So about 53.

<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.[/color]>

And with that I'm headed home, later

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?

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!
