I got a riddle.



What's the answer?

Answer: There is no answer! It's just a picture!

And why is Watson avoiding me?

He's a banana!

And that wasn't a clue. What do you mean avoiding you? Did you try contacting me or something?

No. I just haven't seen you since I've been back on the forums. And you got the answer wrong.

Ok, another hint then! Klatuu was on the right track with this:

Or...something like that...
Though he's over-thinking it, it's not as complex as what he's trying.

Does the image contain some sort of watermark that's only visible by isolating certain colors?

Getting to the solution doesn't require any image editing software

The top right hand corner looks like it says "ininininininini"?

Could be a metaphor for the traditional Telltale adventure game puzzles, which often involved solving three things before progressing to the next stage. Sam & Max even made fun of that "three" concept in 202.

Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. This is why goal setting is so important, because otherwise, you don't know what you're trying to do.

I don't think we'll get it any time soon.
Unless someone randomly has a brainwave

Like Klatuu pointed out, there's something hidden in the image file. It's up to you guys to find out how and what. It doesn't require image editing software to find. There is no difficult math involved, or math of any kind.

I salute you Didero in this crusade against the obvious, but...it's just not happening. No one can even guess what the goal of the puzzle is. I understand that it might seem solvable to someone that knows the answer, but none of usunderstand yet.

Does it require hex editing software?
Does it require any software at all, or is it something in the picture that we need to solve?
Is the answer "shifdrows"?
