I thought it would be fun to make a stereogram puzzle. Don't hate me if you can't do it. The giveaway is nothing special, just a copy of Chroma Squad. The giveaway ends about 3 days and 6 hours from the date this thread was created.

If you don't know what a stereogram is, it's basically a 3D picture that you can see by looking at it while unfocusing your eyes. Your eyes will go slightly out of alignment with eachother and instead align individually on different parts of the picture to see the image (at least that is how I think it works). You can adjust the size of the image by zooming with your browser, you can see it at almost any size, but it may be a little easier for your eyes at a certain size.

How I learned in the 90s and the way I like to do it is to: Bring your head fairly close to the picture and then lose focus. Try and not focus on any individual part or feature of the image, but just let it blur a little. Then slowly move your head back away from the picture while not trying to focus and it will just come into focus at a certain point. Sometimes I will need to move my head closer and farther away a few time to get it to "pop" into view.

You may want to open the pictures in a new window, they will probably be too small to see here. The first two pictures are different versions of the same SG code for the giveaway. The others are just pictures with no giveaways.

Hint: The 4th letter is q

Edit: Here's a cool stereogram music video :)
Added a second picture of the same giveaway code. The different colors and type of image may make one easier than the other for different people, especially if you are partially color blind like a lot of people are but don't know. Multiple people have reported that the second picture is easier.
Added some moving images.

A fun tip for everyone that can do this. If you use this during staring contests, you are unbeatable.
