    Instruction - which I dismissed as the filename contained it

    I find it amusing that several members have implied that this clue took alot of work and effort. I spent less than 60 seconds constructing it. :laugh: The amalgamation of GIF and ZIP was done simply by using: copy /B pic.gif+instruction.zip newpic.gif Best Wishes, -David Delaune

    I have to say David my immediate thought was instruction but when I found the instructions.asm file I dismissed it - I'm glad you don't compile entire crosswords ( or do you ? {{{shudder}}} )

        This [^] online unzip is working if you would like to attempt to solve early. Or you can wait until the next stage is openly revealed.

        that "thinks" for a while, then shows a tick mark - then repeats (indefinitely?). Still says "Extracting...". At no stage can I click on "Your files" to see the extracted info, or indeed do anything else... :-(

          Only because we had no idea what we were supposed to do. And when the unzipping did not work, and we could not assemble the code, well ... However, I applaud your creativity.

          Everyday is groundhog day here on codeproject. It doesn't hurt to have something new every once in a while. I've got some other ideas for the CCC... maybe some math equations and maybe something spatially encoded into music notation.

            A variant of what I did today (not by me) won an international puzzlers award just a few years ago. However the assembler code used in that puzzle would play sound through the PC speaker.

                      This looks like another weird game... well, maybe tomorrow, if my boss bores me with too few work... :cool:

                      This statement is false.
