    Here's what I ended up with:


    Green = white square with high lsb, Black = black square with high lsb.

    This gives the number sequence:
    03 8c 62 5e 44 a6 99 cd 00 8b 04 76 04 e6 01 cc 23 fa

    This doesn't seem to easily translate into ascii or unicode.  Any ideas?
    What are you using for 1, and what are you using for 0?

    Congrats on solving it guys!

    I'm going to accept your post without you needing to post the image if the file won't upload. The main point is showing your working so i know you didn't brute force it.

    This has been a trial for all involved, but a blast to run. I think we've found the upper limit of difficulty of these puzzles.

    I'm going to be super generous with prizes this time, just because of the insane effort you guys put in to get the answer. @Swoboderz @AlexVern and @Richard Augustine PM me and I'll get you your prizes.

    Thanks for everyone that participated!

    turns out the priority comm was the event video, the one that dropped over 2 hours ago :pensive:
    Yup. You would have had early access to the event vid if you'd solved the puzzle sooner. I'm hoping to try and get more lore and info as prizes when I run contests like these in the future.

    So to summarize:

    The prefix and suffixes form an image.
    The correct order of the suffixes was found by analysis of the file structure (the puzzle cube was skipped). This is the image:

    This Japanese text is translated as "correct answer".
    Some of the pixels are not perfectly white or black:

    When these are changed into the opposite color, the following is obtained:

    When black = 0 and White = 1, we get the following:
    010001110100010101
    001110010001010101
    001001000001010011
    000100100001000001
    010100110100000101
    010111010011110100
    101101000101010011
    100000110100001010
    This converts to GENERALHASAWOKEN (the 16 digits at the end don't mean anything)
