This is where I’m at now: I can’t find a good spot for the blue piece.

Blue piece goes in the top left where the grey is now

I can’t see how that would fit, and the image doesn’t seem to match up.

TopHattedTime 01-20-2017 03:20 PM

1029-LY and 7676-AL fit together

Dead Meat 01-20-2017 03:20 PM

http://imgur.com/a/4kn3B Ignore the black space, I think I matched grey and blue up

Spectaer 01-20-2017 03:21 PM

Maybe we are missing some photos? Like with numbers hidden in the page / old cipher? I'm trying to make the pieces fit but I'm not going anywhere far from you guys

Dead Meat 01-20-2017 03:22 PM

Wait... one of the images is 1029, do the others have any relevance?

edit: the other file names I mean

The piece with the writing (W?RED) has creases which connect to the creases on the top left image in the posts above.

Oops somehow this posted twice, ignore pls .....

GouStoulos 01-20-2017 03:25 PM

Damn. And i thought that i finally did something :P
Am at pretty much the same state as you guys

This is how I got 1029-LY and 7676-AL to fit together

E: I'm still not happy with the bottom right piece yet.. It just doesn't look right

The spiral in lower grey is almost certainly the top of a barbed wire fence, so it would have to be rotates so its horizontal

I think you're right about those fitting together, lookin at the barbed wire spiral

if you rotated it counter clockwise and pushed it over so theres a gap where his head should be, i think thats the final picture

Edit: Went through the morse entirely to come up with a ciphertext based on the image alone

Taking a good hard look at the morse image (https://i.imgur.com/LdpiiaH.png), I think the (mostly) correct ciphertext is
:

qmiqwmiqyidimrjqdjijilmxmnrjqdjajmpmnrprspkesmkjpdqjnyajnwsnrpgspcsppmqidimqymdbcqajnwsnrpgspcdhbzmnjajanadumjimrpq
Using this as ciphertext at http://www.braingle.com/brainteasers/codes/keyword.php with key storm decodes to
:

tentwentyninedotiononqexerdotiofoeserdsdaspjaepositoryforwardslashassetninetyeightforwardslashimgzerofofrfiueonedst

ten twenty nine dot io nonqexer dot io foeserdsdaspjaepository forwardslash asset ninety eight forward slash img zero fofrfiueonedst

Parts of the morse are very hard to read but it appears another url is in here?

In this cleartext I decoded earlier which led to the hidden repository stuff, "dot io" comes up a second time. At the time, I was unable to get that portion of morse before it correctly decoded, thus I was unable to find another working URL. Perhaps there is one after all, and it could yield additional puzzle pieces or something else? Also, has there yet to be a use for the numbers 12 and 20 used to solve the earlier "??" puzzles? Or the directional arrows? I feel like maybe we're missing something here.

I'm trying to get a better look at the writing, but it's tricky to get the balance right.

Is it possible we're looking at two separate pages?

P.S. Hi, everyone, great work today, very impressive. I'm glad to be a part of it.

HOMINIX 01-20-2017 03:34 PM

awesome, I think we might as well tweet it to them :)

Connell 01-20-2017 03:34 PM

This is as far as I've got: http://i.imgur.com/SH4L629.png

E: Snap Manco haha. I just feel like there has to be another piece. Perhaps there's an image that doesn't show up as often as the others.

TopHattedTime 01-20-2017 03:38 PM

Ahhhh it's 2:40am here, I gotta call it a night sadly! Goodluck with the photos!!

Same here, sadly. See you guys in the morning, keep up the good work!

Connell 01-20-2017 03:39 PM

Yeah my eyes are starting to droop. I feel like I've hit a block with these photos. I'm starting to see all sorts in them haha.

Manco 01-20-2017 03:39 PM




It’s not right.

Dead Meat 01-20-2017 03:40 PM

Damn... we must be close though...

Where's your sisu? :D

Connell 01-20-2017 03:56 PM

See the stitches in the bottom right "so tired" piece, could they be the eyes or something like that of a blind Mud? Trying to think outside the box now as other combos just won't work

Honestly, they gave Ed one job to get a photo out for us and he freakin' ripped it up, set fire to it and scattered it into screwed up pieces. And he calls himself a resistance fighter. ;)

HOMINIX 01-20-2017 03:59 PM

I was thinking that too... the short long piece seems right, but i can't make out what that object with the stitches is. I really don't know where to go now unless there's a missing piece. Refreshed that page a bunch, but haven't found any new pieces.

Doing the exact same thing. Fairly confident there's not another piece, and my brain is fried. Might have to call it a day even though my mind will be on it all night haha. Fresh look at it tomorrow may yield new results

Dead Meat 01-20-2017 04:04 PM

Yep, I'm checking out too, it's 1:04 AM here. I shall return in the morrow...


And I'll bring cookies.

Could be, There are just some things that don't really 100% line up. For example the left side of that "thing" that the hands are holding. Directly behind it is a fence. But on the right side, there is a body. As it is now the body seems to be cut off.

Connell 01-20-2017 04:06 PM

I can get a great idea of the picture, it's a mud holding a numbered weapon in front of a fence with barbed wire at the top. Just can't quite get it to fit together properly.

DreadfulDrummer 01-20-2017 04:06 PM

The stitches/Xs seem marked on the paper rather than the image itself

HOMINIX 01-20-2017 04:08 PM

I noticed the body seemed very small or obscured or not even there... could it be a weirdo spirit like this guy?

exactly... this is getting frustrating.

Could the stitches be on his loin cloth?

Vykker Lady 01-20-2017 04:11 PM

I tried doing the thing. What do you guys think? And yes I greyscaled it because the colors were throwing me off.

I reckon you're spot on there Vykker Lady. I think the head is missing, and removing the colour definitely allows you to see more detail in the pic. Go ahead and tweet it in!

I think yours could be right on the money. The fence loops are smaller on the right and larger on the left because of perspective; the fence is "coming towards" the viewer. Seems, though, that we need more pieces?

Manco 01-20-2017 04:14 PM

Yeah that looks correct, good idea greyscaling it – I bumped the contrast but didn’t think about the color!

HOMINIX 01-20-2017 04:14 PM

oops

Connell 01-20-2017 04:16 PM

Here's my attempt following Vykker Lady's version with the original colours;

http://i.imgur.com/6gGHjup.png

I think perhaps the head is intentionally missing. I've refreshed 1000 times and no new one has come up. Is a bit strange they asked for the complete picture though.

NEW PIECE 3786-IC
