Level 12

...I have the 3jpg and the 1 not-jpg (and the gif from that) ...

you miss one file.

am i? ...

Yes, but I suspect you're talking about the files you downloaded. You've downloaded plenty of them. Most of them are as irrelevant as you already think they are I'm not sure what you mean by "the 1 not-jpg (and the gif from that)". If it means what it kind of sounds like it means, you're still missing more than one file.

I've got four jpgs (one of which just has the extension jpg, but isnt) and one gif. I've hex edited galore, but can't work out in what way I might have to 'shuffle' or 'unshuffle' any of these to create something meaningful. I also can't work out what relevance 'gfx' has.

I've noticed a pattern in the first jpg, but can't work out how to exploit this, as it lacks the 'black and white' clarity of, say, level 11.

Thanks for any help.

EDIT: Solved it! Knowing JPEG magic bytes was handy...

*bump*

sorry I am really struggling with this, I cannot find this BINARY file i need???

Hint: Look for sequences and follow them.

[spoilers removed]

that is my sequence

...that is my sequence

What did the second one in your sequence say? Don't tell me, I already know Look at it again, and pay attention to what it said -- do something with it.

I swear I tried that before... but now I go thte file?? thanks
(soz abt the spoiler)

anyway now that is an easy pattern, ill knock summing up to extract the data.

I've retrieved the deck, and unshuffled it into piles. Each pile identifies itself as a particular kind of file, but the file contents are all corrupt. What am I missing here?

You must've misshuffled something. *One* of the files is indeed broken, but not enoug to make in unusable to certain viewers, but the others are fine when unshuffled correctly.

You're right - I made an arithmetic error, and had smaller files than I was supposed to. Everything is fine now!

I got 5 image files (with one corrupt),
find 4 words (with one strike out),
and stuck now.

What should I do with that words?
Or something else?

Any clue plese

Mozilla or Firefox are able to open the corrupt file.

If you look at all the words, it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out what to do with them.

So I've unshuffled the deck and am presented with a word. I've tried the word, but get nowhere. There seems to be something special about part of the word, but I don't know what that means.

Any further hints?

You should have 5 parts, and it should be clear what parts apply and what parts don't. The parts that apply form the correct word.

I don't know how many times I thought I typed that in correctly, but today it just works... I guess I just can't type.

I also messed up a counter in my code, which made the last picture come up first, but also corrupted.
