Solve the maze, the answer will reveal itself before your very eyes as you take each step through this puzzle.

is this supposed to be a challenge
Wow that was hard

While the answer may look simple, it requires more thought than that.
>>685889185
Fuck off
>>685887457
A QR code that becomes scanable once the path to the exit is black?
>>685889185
Give us a hint, nigger boy.
>>685889185
Explain yourself.
>>685889185
>I'm gonna start a thread by giving an unclear puzzle so I can act smug when people don't understand
>>685889583
Somebody scan this
>>685887457
Never said green was start. There's no defined starts or finishes. No reason to even be there in the first place really, its like those crappy Halloween corn field mazes.
>>685889981
It's implied faggot
>>685889875
>>685889606
>>685889607
Perhaps it would help to think of this not as a maze, but as a code.
>>685889956
on it
>>685890158
>>685889583
Fuck you, dude. I'm right
>>685890158
You fucking faggot you called it a maze right in your first goddamn post
>>685889956
wont scan.
>>685890158
Be up front with me, is this going to to lead me to a month of puzzles and shit with some sort of disappointing ending?
>>685890310
Oh well, that's all I care to do to help solve this "puzzle".
>>685889956
Inverse it. White is black black is white. Try it on both the original and the filled in path.
>>685890522
Those are good suggestions, but in the end it'll probably just be a link to goatse or some shit. I'll just monitor this thread until it 404s.
>>685890344

Ugh god dammit okay.
Well clearly it's missing the positional sections if it's a QR. So, take that into account.
Possibly binary?
>>685890683
Yeah i agree. I'm just gonna drop suggestions every once in a while. On mobile so I can't really do much.
>>685890885
Perhaps this clue will help you.

I'll make your butthole hurt.
>>685891076
DUDE WEED LMAO
>>685891076
No, not really. Were any of the things I said on the right track?
Op thinks /b/ is full of smart people like the YouTube top 10s suggest.
>>685891175
Kekd
What are the rectangles and squares on the sides for?
Scan using alphanumeric protocols.
The answer will reveal itself.
inb4 it's coordinates to a buried body.
>>685891438
The funny thing is put together /b/ can be smart but its about the stupidist shit. Like porn sauces.
>>685891570
QR Scan that I guess?
Op is a gay
>>685891644
The one time I'm on mobile.
>>685891719
I'm sure that won't scan.
if dubs, op tells us the answer
>>685891835
No its not the right setup for a qr
>>685891438
I don't think I've seen those, unfortunately.
>>685891644
You are on the right track, but it still requires further investigation.
>>685891657
For real. The U.S. military can't coordinate as well as /b/ when looking up an obscure porn actress/somebody on facebook.

>>685892034
>>685892128
its the original image thats pivoted on the green dot.
>>685891847
Now this is a qr code
>inb4 the QR code is a free pass for the party van
>>685892128
Looks like four of the QR-ish code rotated 90 degrees with the green dot as a center and with adjusted color.
GUYS. I AM HERE TO SAVE 4CHAN. DONT LET THIS BECOME A ROLL-FEST. LETS TRY TO FIGURE THIS SHIT OUT FOR REAL

>>685892713
If cicada the answer could be outside of the image all together
>>685892713
>>685892781
>Doesn't know Cicada 3301's PGP
Obv not. If OP claims it is, they're lying.
>>685890158
Oh, look at you, playing with QR codes and killing kittens.
P.S. I saw both the answer and the code when I came in.
Cicada 3301 doesn't always, but usually, posts Jan 5th.
If an image doesn't contain their PGP to verify with, it's bullshit. There's been a lot of BS, and maybe because of that, they've been using their PGP signature religiously.
>>685892713
No; this is purely of my own entertainment. However, it wouldn't be far from what the answer would be similar to.
>>685892736
What does
>D D R R D R R D D D R R R D R R R R
mean?
>>685893059
Does that mean we have to go around the world for the answer?
Reverse image search pulls up 0 results.
Homemade by OP for sure.
Someone try this?
>>685893041
Jan 4th I think
>>685893283
Directions taken in order to escape assuming the green square is one unit of position. Move the square down, down, right, right, ...
>>685893283
movement directions in solving the maze, you dingus
>>685893335
Op claims its not a qr code.
>>685892977
Rigghhhttt sure you did
>>685893283
direction that the green square moves, D = down R = right
Top square is 2x6 hxw and left is 2x2.
Just in case anyone has noticed a pattern with 12 / 4 / 2 / 6.
>>685893520
elaborate or BS.
>>685893391
>>685891076
Remember op gave us a clue
>>685893391
>>685893591
>>685893404
>>685893283
Have you considered the idea of the square never needing to move at all?
>>685893335
Not a QR, have tried it
I like lurking in threads like this.
Makes /b/ look like a bunch of retards.
>>685891076
This makes no fucking sense fuck your retarded cancer thread
>>685887457
It's a sailboat, what do I win?
>>685893703
OP wants us to go through it step-by-step on every path like um .... whateverits-caled sort in CS.
Maybe.
>>685893451
just because i saved it as QR doesn't mean it is one
>>685893941
What I'm thinking.
>>685893877
What
>>685893908
is that a clue?
>>685894160
kek
On mobile here, but someone go and move JUST the black by one square in the same direction the green needs to move to escape. Guessing it spells something. Go
>>685894160
He thinks he's cool because he /doesn't/ enjoy puzzles, or because he saw the solution for a similar one in a magazine years ago and thinks he's smart for knowing the answer.

oh shit OP now you fucked up
>>685894362
Ah yes, i have used this one before, but i am bringing it back. the image used in that channel is not the original; the hexcode of the green is not a pure green.

Okay. Please fill in us unenlightened retards
hold on niggers,,,,
>>685894428
OP gonna get killed

Yup exactly. Didn't see your post lol. Im on mobile too sadly or id be all over it. Whenever interesting shit happens im away from my pc.

When did OP say the maze started or ended at the green dot.
Lets think outside the box.

almost, but re-overlaying each time. see where i'm coming from? maybe it spells something?

>>685898198
Curious.
All the kids coming in thinking magic and supernatural and crime organization instead of puzzle that makes you think new ways.
>>685894428
What is this? Why is everyone freaked out about it?
>>685898629
Did he mean the color values of the green square, or is hue codes something else?
>>685898629
I can read but why does >>685898323 go batshit???
>>685898678
summer is early :^)
>>685898629
HUE HUE HUE
>>685898485
Wouldn't 9 also be 11, 8 also 12, etc? Maybe add those up and that's the number of the square. So 9 would turn to 20
>>685898603
Create a 20x20 grid of squares in Illustrator and then color them. Alternatively, divide the original dimensions by 20 and move it in that increment.
>>685894666
Satanic trips don't lie. OP, run
>>685898736
Both are unimportant. Hue codes have too few values to adjust to get across any large amount of info. At best it'd be a hint on how to view the rest of the puzzle.
>>685898603
Would if I knew how, that's why I posted the suggestion.
>>685898719look the fuck up "cicada 3301", newfag
>>685898842
>it'd be a hint on how to view the rest of the puzzle.
How the fuck is that unimportant then?
>
>>685898807
Not how depth-first works though. Operating under the assumption "each step through the puzzle" and >>685891076 are depth-first hints.
ok so even if you solve it
its just going to be some dicks
Goddamn OP, just one more hint.
>>685899047
This.
>>685898939
Because it's unlikely. If you think you have an idea on how the hue values convert to "Solve the puzzle using this algorithm!" feel free to try it. Do things yourself instead of begging everyone to try your ideas, when everyone else has their own ideas.

>>685898939
Anything and possibly everything we do could be a step towards the answer.

Take head.
>>685899402
Literally nothing has happened
>>685899260
Well stop being lazy. That was a hint towards depth-first. I don't think what you're suggesting is the correct path towards a solution.
>>685899288
Do you mean TAP?
>>685899493
Well this is a twist.
Both ways start at 1 maybe, keep the numbers of black spaces for later use
Is a way to approach
>>685899493
WHAT WILL FIND ME
>>685899493
Assuming it as depth-first, maybe the green squares represent what you should pass through? But that falls apart since it goes back and forth between left/right which is weird, and the green square is out there.
Ditching depth-first idea until I come up with at least one idea on the green squares.
Can someone put all the hints in one image?
>>685899493
layer the original iamge multiple times so that the green square on the original lines up with all the new ones.
Just got here, whats going on?
>>685899493
