    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.

        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}}} )

        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.

              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

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

                  This statement is false.
