Another web puzzle-type thing

[it290]

here

good luck. I'm currently on screen 13 (out of 23), and I have no idea what to do.

 

[lordofduct]

DAMN work, not allowing java or flash. GRRRRR.

 

[ExCyber]

I'm pretty sure this is done with pure Javascript/ECMAScript. I'm stuck on 3 at the moment.

edit: make that 4 🙂

Is there any significance to the "dead pixels" on 4, or is it a red herring?

 

[Pearl Jammzz]

I am stuck at 3, lol

 

[ExCyber]

Hint for 3: The flashing text isn't talking about power, and the "me" is not in the image.

edit: I'm not convinced that the JS for 4 is doing what it's supposed to be doing (Firefox/Linux). It looks like it's supposed to reveal something, but it shows up like image corruption.

edit again: nm, I think I get it now

#2 is so simple, but it still took me ages to work it out.

Only up to 4 now...

Morse code?

 

[ExCyber]

4 is pretty obvious in principle, but the gamma seems a bit off (perhaps intentionally).

edit: the "dead pixels" don't mean anything as far as I can tell. That seems to be the meaning of the text at the bottom.

5 is more work than anything else so far, but not at all complicated.

Currently trying to figure out 6.

 

[mal]

5 is more work? Haven't you seen the Blues Brothers? 😉

 

[ExCyber]

Haven't you seen the Blues Brothers?

Sadly, no.

I'm way too tired to be doing this; it's starting to creep me out a bit.

edit: I see no numbers, maybe it's my gamma that's off. The only lead I have is that I managed to get to a page that said "you are off the path". It didn't appear to have any hints, so I took it at face value. :huh

 

[mal]

Look outside the picture.

 

[ExCyber]

Bah, the iframe was broken on firefox...

edit: nm, got it

edit: any clues on 7? So far I've found the page that tells me what to do, and I have no idea what the significance of "times have changed in deutschland" is

 

[Dud]

Too hard. Can't get past #4.

 

[ExCyber]

As I said, 4 should be obvious but may not be. Try highlighting the image, or playing with the brightness in photoshop or somesuch if that fails.

I believe that the name of the chocolate bar is not what it used to be...

[edit] I don't know if that's it. The next page's source tells me that I'm wasting my time there.

 

[ExCyber]

The picture's not very clear, but from the reflection it looks like it may be meant as origami...

 

[mal]

I was right, but I forgot the mirror. :lol:

 

[ExCyber]

I guess I don't get it. Candy has never been my strong suit.

 

[mal]

Put "twix" and "germany" into Google. 😉

 

[ExCyber]

That's a Twix wrapper? I was thinking Three Musketeers. Must be the lighting. <_<

edit: on 9, going to bed.

Tonight's hint for 8 is: transubstantiation (general concept, not the doctrine).
