You probably didn't even follow along with the steps.

Thank you, I put more effort into that than the puzzle itself. :)

Glad it worked for you! People don't seem to like the guide. I have 2 downvotes, and not a single upvote. :(

Appearently, if you're using an Apple colour profile when looking at the image, it gives the wrong values, go figure. If so, try an online tool.
Comment has been collapsed.
Since I've gotten two people with two different results (other than the correct one) when using the online tool, even in different browsers, I've come to the conclusion that using colour codes is bad for puzzles. :)
So, to make it fair, these are the colours in the image:
#424242 #323232 #444444 #4d4d4d #727272

I've got wrong values too, even using this online tool you linked so thanks for posting that :o
Not that I know what to do with it now :D
Comment has been collapsed.
It's super weird that an online tool doesn't give the same results. Checked it with another tool as well that you can use an image directly from the source instead of downloading it in between, and it gives the same results for the people having problems. I thought it was colour profiles, but I've checked with one person that we're using the exact same profiles.
It's too bad really, I wanted to do something more fun with colour codes and this was just an experiment, I don't like when people can't complete it because the results vary. :(

Yay, it's solvable. I wasn't too sure how obscure it was, so didn't want to put it in one of my cases. :) So I did this as a trial run.
Comment has been collapsed.
Mhhh interesting. I had an idea but it's obviously not the right one, yet it gave me a idea for an alternate kind of puzzle. Now let's see if i can solve yours first
Comment has been collapsed.
Well first i need to solve yours. I was about to start working and I saw your post and now i'm looking at your shades of grey and I'm worried some people already solved it and i've got no idea how for now >_<
Comment has been collapsed.
I know your pain o/
I had an idea but it wasn't the right one... and now i'm kind of lost for now

Puzzle is here? Oh, blacklisted.
Edit: Un-blacklisted.
Reason: I suspected him to good intention.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh, I see now that you blacklisted me. Don't like puzzles?
Comment has been collapsed.
I dont like, im sorry. Maybe you are a good man with nice intention but puzzles for me is like syphilis.
Comment has been collapsed.
But why are you hanging about in the puzzle section then? :D
Comment has been collapsed.
I see the topic on the first 5 most topics active in the mainpage and i entered :)
Comment has been collapsed.
But it tells you what section each topic belongs to...
I don't mind being on your blacklist, I doubt I'd ever join one of your private GAs anyhow, but I am just quite baffled by your reason for blacklisting people. But I guess it's part of the trend nowadays to blacklist people since the stats page came up. Thanks for explaining it to me at least.
Comment has been collapsed.
I made that giveaways only for friends, no puzzles, hidens or others mambo-jumbo giveaway as there are here.
If you want to join in the future can add me :)
Comment has been collapsed.
That's what I meant, you blacklisting me has no affect whatsoever on me seeing what kind of GAs you're making. So even less reason to blacklist me for obscure reasons. :P
Although I'm sure you'll end up on a few Blacklists yourself for coming into the puzzle section and calling puzzles syphilis.
Comment has been collapsed.
Done.
Too lazy to solve the puzzle. :P
Comment has been collapsed.
im clueless as to how to solve it. do i need some special program or soemthing
Comment has been collapsed.
Define special. :P You don't need to buy any $5000 graphics programs to solve it, no. It can be solved, free of charge.
Comment has been collapsed.
You used one to create it though ;)
I hoped solution would lead to all those giveaways ending in 2 weeks :(
Comment has been collapsed.
That's the Puzzle Agency case. And most can be reached through a much easier puzzle than this.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, thanks. But from the games list the only one that interests me is Dreamfall Chapters and I have it already, so I guess I'll skip the puzzle :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Those are only a handful of the games in the case though. :P There's a total of 34 games, and I only listed 8 of them. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
No. But really, the puzzle to get to the train is probably the easiest puzzle I've design. You spend more time asking about the games than you would getting past it and checking for yourself. ;)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well to get to the FIRST train, yeah. But there are 9 (?) other puzzles :@ I doubt there's anything from my wishlist, but still 2 weeks left, so I might attempt to solve 1 day before it ends ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Hmm. This ones right over my head. Bump for the cryptographers out there.

man... i'm using all kind of filters and nothing... can you enlighten me if i'm in the right track?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't know what track you're on, but using all kinds of filters sounds bad. Did you try Step 8 in the video guide? :]
Comment has been collapsed.
I knew it lol... i got a beer when i scratched the second box... so what can i do now?
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess a beer is still worth more than the GA. :) I'd say that's a win! I'd say drink it, or scratch another box and see if you can win more beer and have a party. :)
I haven't tried it, but something like this might work to reveal what's important.
Comment has been collapsed.
well... i guess i'll stay with the beer... no clue about the puzzle, but thanks. hope you give us the solution after after the giveaway end. have my bump o/

At least you have beer. He actually gave you an enormous clue

Hey... can you please tell me how should i solve this puzzle? now that the giveaway it's over... cuz i tried again using the colors numbers and i couldn't find the giveaway. --'/
Comment has been collapsed.
Well if you used that tool it will give you those numbers: #424242 #323232 #444444 #4d4d4d #727272 for the colors. You'll see that every number is a two character value repeating itself 42, 32, 44, 4d, 72. You can then convert those numbers from hex into text (using an online tool): B, 2, D, M, r. Which you then enter into the Steamgifts standard link.
Comment has been collapsed.
OMG... i didn't thought about hex after i saw the color numbers, i was trying to use the numbers and letters... thanks for the help friend... lessons learned
Comment has been collapsed.
You're welcome. I get how frustrating it can be if you can't find the solution. I like doing these puzzles just for fun and not so much for the GA really :D
Comment has been collapsed.
God then it goes back to what i had tried first but i probably did it wrong :/

Can someone restore my colours so I can see all the wonders of spring again?
