I notice the number 8291 is appearing again, both in the filenames of one of the files, and also in the source code for the grid page where you can see the grid image is set to be 82.91% of the page...

I think so, they must have been deliberately placed into the image list, just maybe not supposed to be found that quickly

I think this is run entirely server side, as a php file or similar. This way we can never see the list, it just inserts the path of a random image into the HTML when you request the page. That file...

Yeah, Vince had been trying exactly that with other combination of the letters/number lines a long time ago but didn't get the right combination. I think it might have been partly my fault that he...

There's a few things I'm unsure of still. I only used the first part of each set of coordinates, whats the number after the colon for? What do we do with this word we found anyway? Are the other...

OK, I think I may actually have something here, although it seems a bit strange to me.

Taking the hint about just looking at the start I thought maybe just ignore all the lines that start with a \...

Just looking at this again that I posted way back on page 5, what daniel992 just posted reminded me of it. I noticed something that i hadn't before, the second number in each row runs in numerical...

My idea about the OWI hint is that it means we need to use some more of the clues from the original image with the braille, barcodes, arrows etc.

I can't really see how they apply though, we're...

Yes, same here. not sure how much of this is even relevant, if we need the solution to this puzzle or if it's just a hint on how to use the slashes. Maybe as GlitterPanther said we should be ignoring...

I'll give it a go, but my explanations are usually hard to follow.

The mastermind code is slightly different to what we've been asked to do now in that it doesn't tell you what to keep or discard....

I've been looking into the bifid cipher that Manco mentioned earlier, and it seems that it can be done with two, three or even four grids of letters. Seems possible, but really you need each letter...

yes i thought it might be t9 too, but the distribution of numbers seems a bit odd. we have the number 2 appearing 19 times, 3 is there 13 times, 4 is there 10 times, there are no 5's at all, 6 is...

I'm sure the slashes are connected to the 'mastermind' cipher. They're telling us that some things are in the right place,and some other things are the right number/letter but in the wrong place.

I don't know why I didn't think of doing that myself. Glad I didn't now though:D Also I want to point out that those might not really be coordinates at all, that just my interpretation. I don't want...

Except for the mastermind type puzzle, although I don't see were it fits in. It's probably just a step to find the correct method for solving the other puzzles. I know it's not much but it might have...

You're probable right about that, but I suspect the cut-outs on the grille are determined by the coordinates I used to make the image above. This is how I formatted them to read easier.

Thought adding the numbers to the grid according to their coordinates would help.

It didn't help me much, was thinking it might be a Sudoku style grid, but obviously not.
