Kinglizard's Painting Avatar Set (Image Heavy) (CONTEST has ENDED)

HINTS:

1) .5+.5=1

2) Look past the obvious.

3) Something hidden has yet to be found.

4) You will need Photoshop (or like program) to find what is hidden.

It is not Paul Klee's New Harmony.

My bad, I changed it because I didn't realzie that New harmony was guessed at.

I will say that when it's solved there will be absolutely no doubt as to which painting it is....I mean no guessing will be required. You will see it, post it and win the game.....

Bartolome Murillo "The Annunciation"

want me to change my post back?

I don't have photoshop, I am at a disadvantage

I vote Nixie be given a second choice because it's a long thread and we haven't posted an update of guesses until now.

Sounds fair.

What is giving me the most migraines is the numbers. As with any puzzle involving numbers, there is an infinite number of possibilities because numbers are infinite.

I've done addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square roots, cubes, fractions, decimals, calculated diagonal, vertical, horizontal, in the 9 grid sections, half the puzzle vertically and horizontally, number groups, added them all together, added the single to the double, separated the single and the double, divided the single by the double. I've done RBG, HSB, and Lab (whatever that is but Photoshop has it lol) color codes.

Any pattern I find works pretty well for sections of the graph but it has never been complete. So the numbers are what is driving me nuts.

I even looked at photoshop tools thinking the number and location possible represents a 'depth' of the image. For instance, '7' would be something set in the back while 72 would be close to the front depth-wise. Then I noticed the single numbers are on the vertical lines while the double numbers are on both the vertical and horizontal gaps.

I knpw the puzzle will fit one image flawlessly- it's just a matter of solving the puzzle to see what route we are to go and I'm still lost as to what .5=.5 means.

Thank you guys, I really appreciate it.
I will go with my official guess.

I have it so if you have a certain idea you want me to investigate, I will be happy to do it and u2u you the results. Just one route per member please. lol It's A LOT of work looking for patterns in this thing and not to mention, I'm really not familiar with that many PS tools lol. But I will do my best to help anyone who doesn't have the program.

Well KL, if your intention was to drive Ashley to the brink, mission accomplished.

OK, I've figured it out.

It's a TRICK! Yes, a trick, designed to weed out and expose the Major OCD Members of ATS.

With that, I'd like to nominate Ms AshleyD as President.

reply to post by AshleyD


I really appreciate that. but not having any knowledge of photoshop, I would have no idea where to begin.

Is it free by any chance?

reply to post by nixie_nox


No it definitely is not free.

But you can download a similar program called GIMP for free.

Ahhh... well - it's time for the entry 'o the day... A long shot, but the math works (i.e., I can force it to work!). Probbly another miss, but it's still fun trying... Anyway - you all get one shot a day now - so don't waste it! Step on up - if nothing else, by process of elimination, someone is going to hit a bullseye (or figure it out).

For me, and this might help you other puzzle-nuts, an important missing link is related to the numerical values in the grid. There has to be a logical reason for quantifying in this way. Further, I think there is some significance to the fact that the 3 numbers in each of the nine sub-grids are all positioned on the exact same three axes within their respective grid. The values and the positioning are correlated, though I can;t seem to stumble on a mathematical correlation yet.

One final point: I've sliced and diced the blue 'clue' grid through Photoshop, AutoCAD, a GIS program and a few others and no matter how I enhance, peel, or sledgehammer the thing I can't see any "hidden" or missing features or attributes that can augment our puzzle. Not yet anyway. It's just as likely that it flew right past me and I missed it.

So, in the spirit of cooperation - I'm hoping someone else here can use some of this and use it in their own analysis. Good Luck!

In the meantime, here is today's KLotto entry (response and solution collage):

QUESTION/PUZZLE:

HINTS:

1) .5+.5=1

2) Look past the obvious.

3) Something hidden has yet to be found.

4) You will need Photoshop (or like program) to find what is hidden.

[I will say that when it's solved there will be absolutely no doubt as to which painting it is....I mean no guessing will be required. You will see it, post it and win the game..... ]

Henry Scott's Driving Seas

I hope that's right, O! It would be so great if that is correct. lol

My following guess isn't based on much. I refused to do anything else until my video was done and could only handle one challenge at a time. But I don't want to miss on a daily guess chance.

Is it Jacques-Louis David --- Napoleon Crossing the St. Bernard Pass?
