Title: Forum Code Hunt, 400k Prize!


????? - May 19, 2006 01:47 AM (GMT)
This is a long competition that would last for a few weeks. It may be long and hard, but the prizes are huge. All the info and hints about it can be found on this page. You may discuss it (But DO NOT give out the locations)

1. What you do
Over the next few weeks I would be releasing images that contain a 5 number code. There are 8 images (One that says CODE1, CODE2, CODE3, etc) the numbers given to the code is the part of the bigger master code which is used to submit your final entry. Your job is to find all 8 images and save the 5 numbers and what part of the master code it is (CODE1, CODE2, etc). I'd suggest you use your personal notepad in your My Controls. Check this page for hints, tips, etc and the posts discussed.

2. Where you can find some
Codes can be found in broken images (check the URL of the broken image.. there may be a few characters that stop it from being shown correctly, squeezed up images that you should view directly by URL to see, they can be normal links or shown as an images in Posts (not my own), Sigs, Avs, Profiles, etc.

3. Hints
#1 - 5/18: No Hint. Find it for yourself!!

????? - May 31, 2006 08:15 PM (GMT)
You found part of it, the rest of C7 should be easy since you found part of it

Yuzu-chan - May 31, 2006 08:19 PM (GMT)

1 code or 1 password? I know you have C7. But C1 is the easiest by far. Check out the instructions.

????? - June 5, 2006 12:11 AM (GMT)
HINT5-2 is now changed so it is easier
