    Re: Trials Evolution Easter Eggs

    The track that has the pirate ship tc on the origins game..Did everyone REALLY search hard on this..i thought you would be able to get into the cannon at the end.and possibly fire you over to the sinking ship..they do look like pirate treasure to me..could be totalky wrong,but wortth a look insnt it????

    Along with my heavy workload during the day, this is something I will be looking into

    I should clarify further. Without the original image, I wouldn't be too successful in separating the two. At least using some kind of image arithmetic. I've played even further with this though. Assuming the dimensions of 1022 x 1024 as some kind of control aspect, I created duplicate layers overlapping on themselves with alternating rotations and even some mirrored (or reflected) versions. Nothing has come from it. I do keep seeing (mostly) inconsequential QR-like code patterns but ultimately it just doesn't seem to be anything. They aren't complete and seem to be more of a collection of artifacts from the jpg compression. Or in this sense, a lot of overlaying artifacts creating a jumble code thing. CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH that this isn't a QR code, just a lot of small series of lines and pixels that mean nothing. QR codes have a "fixed pattern" that defines the structure for how they are read. It would (most likely) be a fruitless effort to assemble a seemingly nonsense overabundance of "artifact" pixels into something and attempt a QR reader to make sense of it.

    I'm not saying there's nothing here... or err... there. Just that my search has come up with nothing so far. The rotary encoder linked by kobe up above was interesting to look at, especially when I tried to make sense of it by looking back and forth between the circular "3-bit" diagrams and the Reclaimed easter egg. Though, I have my doubts that the image is supposed to be broken and rotated along with a pattern like that, especially without a key of some sort.

    This kinda started with ANBA suggesting something was coming. Encoded in a "fixed pattern" which keeps me locked into the idea that there perhaps is something embedded within the image(s). Then he uploaded the first image. Then another image came, pretty quickly. I assume those three posts were all planned, and that the third (image with two wax locked chests) was not just a result of our confusion on what the first image meant. Now I wonder if that's all... so perhaps we have all we need to figure this out. There could be a dozen or so more ways I can try overlapping the images (that's an extremely conservative number) and I look forward to messing around with them.

    In closing I just want to say that there is something extremely peculiar about the second image he posted. If you zoom way in to the top left corner, things get unusually pixelated there. It seems unusual based on the surrounding pixels being so smooth. At first I thought it was just something out of frame that managed to not get cropped... but looking at the amount of rough pixels in the area does pique my interest. .......and I'm back to work.

    Hi,
    that's the only thing I've found for the moment, and I'm not even sure it's related or lead somewhere.....

    Apparently, this logic problem could be found in "the riddle of sheherazade", written by raymond smullyan, (mathematician, logician, specialist of riddle....)

    They are geocaches. Some of the geocaches contain a logbook and a “treasure” if you will, but the whole idea is the finding, not the valuable.

    i can separate the background and fixed pattern image from the site linked, but im not able to averlay them since i dont have photoshop. The same process was done with the lucretius text. Overlay the bg image over the pattern using an exclusion filter and afterwards alter the brightness.
