Right, Guess i'll find my stuff from last year then

Ahhh I wasn't here for this last year so I have no idea what's going on

Life's tough, get a helmet.

this is dumb. please make the "immersive environment" a little more accessible next time.

6th February 2009 MacHesit III Begins...  MacHeist IV?   15th September 2012! IT's HERE!!!

I'm clueless

what is the rainbow square for? it's just a PNG

I like this :-)

a github fork of something perhaps?

sorry, no it's a tga

Swords of the television generation has a weird sort of colored image appear when you click on the remote now (the "sword" of the television generation, to those who missed the joke last year)

try

But, eh?

This is going to be one of those situations where my dyslexia is going to be hindrance isn't? Oh for a nice logic puzzle that does not require spelling or mathematics skills.

I'm wicked at mechanical and abstract reasoning

its an eye trick thingy.

Does the filename mean something?

3ad47fe00e6ac913b356bcb432ee1b7c.tga

So it shall be written, so it shall be done.....

i swear i've seen that stupid image before somewhere...

damn it, I'm on a PC at work and can't follow along. Lame.

do the numbers from the file name mean something?
3470 0691 3356 4321 7

The name is in hexadecimal. It would mean ":ÈÓ j+ ¦V+¦2¯ |" in ASCII base if I'm correct.

This is probably completely useless, but the .tga format is used mostly in video games. A lot of games use them as either Screenshot formats, or Skin Texture files.

Also, the dude on the couch looks like a doofus. I think the chick could do better. Just saying.

wikipediad it and it's interesting. i made my wife do the eye trick thingy till her head hurt. so don't try it.

Tried using iota-calc from last year's mission to resolve 3ad47fe00e6ac913b356bcb432ee1b7c but can't get much from it. (not sure I know how to use the calculator.)

okay, i think this is a 3d image, need something to render it. check out truevision3d.com

"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is tying it's shoes."  -  Mark Twain

opened it in photoshop to view r/g/b color channels independently..... nothing..... screwed around with curves and exposure, etc, etc, can't make anything resolve from it.

Tried to put both images on 2 layers playing with overlay etc. but nothing.

One color to rule them all.

Hmmm, OK, I'll give it a try.

I mean, surely you've heard the expression 'don't count your chickens'? Well, APPLY IT!

Can it be combined somehow with the image from the other post? The one about the Enigma coding also has a .tga file. If 3-D rendering doesn't get us anywhere, perhaps the other file is the missing piece.

Tried all my Photoshop skills, tried steganography... nothing.

could the filename be ip-adress hidden in hex-format?
or ..hex-colorcodes? i think it got something to do with hexnumbers

unless I'm mistaken, there's no metadata in the file either.

the filename is a md5 hash. I'm pretty sure it is.

You might be right westbaer, but I don't think so.  I think it's just a random string made to resemble an md5 to throw us off (also known as a "red herring" ).

EDIT: Woot!  Made pickpocket!

Tried reversing the file name as an MD5 hash, but didn't come back with any results.

OK, who could refuse?

Woot! Sophia == MostlyLisa!

dont know wasnt here last year

yeh ok. il hav a go

I have no idea what I am doing, but I notice that the numbers and the letters all shift underground.  Does that correspond to something like a code of some sort?

I had to reload the site 4 times to see anything other than a brown bg image! I don't think my Mac likes this site..

It's still not behaving! Some drag on my time here...

i found few words like "that" and "dev". anybody can find the others?

Following the maze says:

Swords of the Television Generation.

Time for me to go website hunting

Then you get that image on the remote... Which looks like an MD5 hash :s
But when you try and reverse it to find the file... NOTHING. -.-

And I tried:

c7b1ee234bcb653b319ca6e00ef74da3 aswell (which is the reverse of the "hash")

What does

Swords Of the Television Generation

refer to then? The two images are upstairs and downstairs of a 2 layer maze, and that's the first thing I got spelt out.

What else is there??

Just saying, i don't know if it's any help, but "The Garden of forking paths" is a rather wellknown short story by Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges. Look it up.

I'm confused.

Think this file name has anything to do with the Enigma Simulator?

@ShaunGreiner

Leads to a one image site...

Can't be that...

I think maybe swords of the television generation may have been a red-herring.  Why would they run the exact same mission as last time?

@ShaunGreiner

argh "air quotes"! That's enough for me, I'm outta here!

OK peeps,

Try and find 3ad47fe00e6ac913b356bcb432ee1b7c in the garden!!

It's the one interesting piece of code in the site with the aforementioned name..

yikes!  I've got nothing here.

Oh how I love MacHeist Bundles!
