and also : Assuming these numbers represent letters you get the following when you divide the two clockwise/counterclockwise sequences into sections of 8. 2 numbers are left over, shit, so many straws to grab. clockwise: 01101101 = M 10100010 = ? NA 11011011 = ? NA 00111101 = ? NA 11110110 = ? NA 11011111 = ? NA 00101000 = ? NA 11100010 = ? NA 11011111 = ? NA 01111101 = ? NA 11110011 = ? NA 10011011 = ? NA 01 = ? NA counterclockwise: 11001101 = ? NA 10110100 = ? NA 01011011 = ? NA 01101011 = k 01100111 = g 00111110 = ? NA 11111011 = ? NA 11101101 = ? NA 00011100 = ? NA 01010011 = S 11101101 = ? NA 10111110 = ? NA 11 = ? NA CONCLUSION: TLDR: these aren't letters or the sequencing is wrong http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/31bho4/new_arg_puzzle_48btc_prize/cq06pcc

17 leaves 4 square swirly thingies in the corner 7X9 chess board (standard chess boards are 8X8 with 64 tiles) 63 tiles 32 white tiles 31 black tiles 1 burning/melting toppled white queen 1 purple knight 1 white morning dove 1 phoenix 1 lantern/key thingy (what is this thing???) with 6 red ribbons, three short, three long. SLLSLS and 7 beams of light
7x9 chess board looks real important. Quick google search brings us to this wiki website, and we end up at a chess variant called yari Shogi. http://www.eglebbk.dds.nl/program/cvwiki//index.php?title=Yari_ShogiMore info on Yari Shogi can be found on this wiki page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yari_shogiBut if you check this wiki, this page was only added on March 10 2015. If you check the main page it used to be empty and just recently got all this chess stuff added.

Maybe just a coincidence, but it's strange how the image has so many themes in common with the second book of the harry potter series. The painting is a chamber of secrets. The secret is the private key we are seeking. - Ron, Harry, and Hermione play a game of chess. - They are ensnared in a vine called the "devil's snare" - Dumbledore's phoenix punctures the eyes of the basilisk - Gryffindor corresponds to the element of Fire ( http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Hogwarts_Houses)

Ah, I got em mixed up. It's still a little weird that the painting has that many themes in common with the series.

Yeah, there's also flames in the new image and the new award address is guess what??? 1FLAMEApart from that there's actual black tiles (instead of blue) that nobody seems to have noticed (or noticed but ain't telling until they figure out what it means). That being said, I will say this for one last time and I will be on my way.... YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME!!!EDIT: the symbols on the corners are Greek - Meandros....

Interesting puzzle but I'm just wasting my time to know the meaning of the painting.

Hi guys. I ran the final clue image through stegdetect and it seems to think there's a jphide message hidden in there. Haven't been able to stegbreak it though.

the flames on the borders could be binary. long flames representing 1, short flames representing 0. Where to start is the question. Or purple flames being 1/0 and green flames being 1/0. Could be a double message between these too, but again where to start? The outside border looks more chaotic then the inside border. The likelihood of there being a message contained with in the inside border is greater then the outside.
I don't think it is binary (at least not directly). Flames come in four combinations of colors, as I can see it: (inside color) - (outside color) blue - yellow blue - red green - yellow green - red Also, they come in two lengths - short and long. That makes 3 bits per flame. It can be mapped to binary on 8! = 40320 ways. One example mapping is: bys 000 brs 001 gys 010 grs 011 byl 100 brl 101 gyl 110 grl 111 (where bys = blue-yellow-short, grl = green-red-long, etc..) 40320 combinations does not seem too hard to brute force, but how to check if output is correct? ASCII?

Apart from that you are doing the same mistake you did on your first bullshit ARG.... you are schooling them yet you have no intention of giving up the reward. Apart from that, you DO NOT BRUTE FORCE, you just use your wits. WTF happened to you? No rules this time? Ah, nevermind, good luck everyone trying to "crack" this one.....

I'm new to this. What's your theory? You seem to be implying that 9500 is the same person who created the contest. What would be their motivation? How does the scam work? What's it in for them?

The same that was for the "pony" girls in the previous contest, which was basically the same person as the OP but just trying to give everyone a push because they were stuck.... Motivation? Publicity.... She needs it badly, but she is getting bad publicity because she didn't put up. PS: Don't even try it this time, I am using open internet connection

so do you think it is only a joke? There isn't any ARG or enigma? It could be possible this time but I'm not sure.
