That's what I can see. I tried making them semi transparent and layering them, but so far nothing inherently obvious. I think I'm just going to have to wait and see if those pop up in the other hex code assemblies we make.[/QUOTE]

Of course those are similar. Those are the PNG headers. The very first bytes of each banana should be quite close, if not exactly the same (they might vary if the palette or the dimensions change)

There, take this: Error #2 Code 302 / 0x2F 0x1D 0xD0 0x93 0x8C 0xF9 0xC0 0xAA
It's dangerous to go alone.

[NJDevils30]

Each error isn't supposed to overlap... Error #1 code 57 and Error #1 code 56 overlap so no those pictures aren't supposed to overlap at all.

I think it works that way so there can be missing codes yet we can still figure out the whole picture.

Also I don't think the way they have it set up is correct. I think you need to get the whole big list and use that to form the complete picture.

Give us the error #'s too.

now answer me.

do you have a banana in your household at this moment in time?[/QUOTE]

I already added my code to several databases.

I'm still wondering what this could amount to.

something tells me the people making these images don't know how pngs work

There are still comments from the Portal 2 ARG there...

We can miss codes in chunks of 6. That is if we have error #8 code 227 and error #8 code 234 (which we do) we can piece them together.

227 0xae 0x78 0x2a 0xb0 0x8a 0xed 0xaf 0xf3
234 0xf3 0x1b 0x88 0xfd 0x12 0xbb 0xc6 0xc9

See how 227 ends in 0xf3 and 234 begins in 0xf3? you can piece these 2 together and get
0xae 0x78 0x2a 0xb0 0x8a 0xed 0xaf 0xf3 0x1b 0x88 0xfd 0x12 0xbb 0xc6 0xc9
which essentially makes error #8 codes 228-233 useless. We don't need them to solve this thing.

Right if all this is supposed to be done before the update I doubt it's tommorrow.

How many codes would we need, then? 388 doesn't seem like it'd be enough.

The number 3 is useless to Valve? Well now we know why their not making any games with 3 in the title.

I'm lending bananas to everyone I know trying to grab all of the codes I can.

This one is
Error 6:
Code 163 - 0X12 0X38 0X8E 0X9B 0XB8 0X7C 0XD1 0X8F

once again valve hints at a date and quickly goes back on it, like potato arg.

Looking back to my previous post.. if stats.tf/banana/ was smart it would start piecing things together this way. There are a lot of spots where they can do something along these lines.

error #1
4-30, 41-42, 91-94, 129-139, 164-169.... etc.

That would be a decent chunk of it but there's still A LOT missing. 42-91 for example.
