Doesn't that look like two game characters fighting with swords - the left one holding a shield as well.

It does indeed and if you concentrate to "not see a cat" you can actually see the rest as a langscape.

I don't think that face is a face. It looks like a plot of land with a stone semi circle and some podium type things.  I want it to be the cheshire cat but the eyes and nose just don't sit right.

Thats what I though when I saw this:



Dont ask.

Note 2 self: tipp the cafeteria lady for the saran wrap.


Edit: goggles has no idea what it is Wink

BitSha is an anagram of "habits"

And the "face" looks oddly familiar. Maybe its an album cover. Ill look into that later when I get a good b/w version of the face.

If we looking for a word, would it not be Page 7 word 51? Rather than Chapter 7 Page 51?

Just a thought. Huh

Yes 2 numbers usually are page:word or bible code but we allready checked that IIRC (the bible code).

It's 23.59 over here so I will be going to bed soon as well. Good night and thank you for your hard work!

Same, its been a pretty productive day. Well at least regarding the riddle  Wink

one last thing.

Code:
Corrupt JPEG data: 49 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9

I checked those bytes and got:

Code:
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Windows2014:06:27

which would imply that the file was prepared (just copied probably) after the 1st clue. Not sure what to make of that.
At least we know OP uses Photoshop now Wink

With Contra, if you reverse the last three letters it turns into con art.
BTW, what was the minecraft server ip?
If anyone needs my minecraft account, you can PM me, as I said a few pages back.

So its a con job?

IP was 54.201.109.162
port was somewhere 25K ish, not sure only have the console I did nmap/ssh in still open.

Update 6/30

- Contra code has been solved.

- IP address has been discovered.

- Server has been accessed.



EDIT: Could it be some kind of OP private server?

Its a private minecraft server with more riddles

current status: 1st riddle is most likely to spawn a wither to open a passage. We have found 1/3 skulls.

That website also has an interesting favicon that looks like a tiny QR code, but I couldn't scan it, even with scaling it up: http://qr.w69b.com/images/icon.png

We also get some cookies off of it, but it looks like it's all google analytics so probably not part of the game.

This is what it looks like after the header

Code:

Edit: forget the QR code. If you do an imagine search for "qr icon.png" it will show up. Its just a google icon for the google barcode generator.

speed run of conta force https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vh7Lc11ygA
