They seem so random, different and well-photographed... like a folder of sample images? Maybe there are differences from the default windows folder?

 

Q: Do all the non-sepia images matter?

Q: After we find the important parts does the answer pop out? (As opposed to still having to do something with that information.)

OG: Stoplight

OG: American Flag

No to both.

It might...  It could require a bit (< 5min) of "research", though...  *cough*GOOGLE*cough*

 Q: Does each picture represent a word that we are supposed to get?

Yes, but it may not be in the way you think...

cg49me:

In two of the pictures, color is important - in the others, it isn't.

This most likely refers to the stoplight on green and the stoplight on red...

At first I thought maybe the pictures coincided with a real life event or series of events.  Life a robbery in a white van that stole a vase, etc...But the pictures seem to span too wide a range to have that actually happen.  Therefore, I think all of the clues point to a movie.  I'm not sure which or how to place the scenes.  So if  you can figure it out, go for it.

I guess I might as well ask to be sure...

Q:  Is the answer a movie title?

Q:  Is the answer a real life event?

Nope.

No sir.

Q: Is it possible to solve the video puzzle using only the images, and no music or lyrics?

Q: Are some of the images "extras", just added in to make it more difficult to solve?

I'm thinking one word per image, then the first letters spell out something.

 

EDIT:  HAH - i think i figured it out...this post would have been misleading.  I need a little time to do some googling here.  But I think I have the main idea...

Vegas Professional Bull Riding Built Ford Tough Series

Afraid not...  Don't give up though!

Q: Are we looking for a phrase that you made up?

Q: By requiring some research, is that for the answer itself? (As opposed to individual image's associated words) 

mikeduffy13:

That's such a good guess and fits so well, I can't believe that isn't the answer.

Q: Is the word Vegas in the answer?

Q: Is the answer found by taking the first letter of words that describe the images, and doing something with those letters?

Um...  I guess yes, in the sense that I'm the one that made the puzzle...

Yes.

It's part of the "answer" to the video.

Spot on!

OG:  Vegas Pyramid aka Luxor

OG:  Vegas Pyramid aka Luxor

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth - we have a winner!  I believe the prize is four spaces from the Prize Box...  Pick away!

I'll post a FULL solution and the next puzzle momentarily...

*edit*

Everybody pretty much figured out everything to do with the graphics.  The first one needed to be reorganized into a 4x4 grid...



...which told you how to use the second one.  The "words" and colors were simply for misdirection!



This was the clue needed to solve the third part, though you still had to do some work figuring out the cypher.



The video was of course the climax of the puzzle - each image could be described by one word, and each group of three images started with the same letter...

vault - van - vase
elevator - electricity - egg
glacier - green - gas
antlers - accordian - alley
ship/sails - salad - sand
people/pedestrians - pie - pier
yak - yogurt - yard
road - rails - red
aurora - artichoke - Apache
music - money - mist/mountains
incline - ink - illumination
Dodge - denim - dredge

...spelling out VEGAS PYRAMID.  Some quick Google "research" will tell you that the Luxor hotel and casino in Las Vegas is indeed a pyramid!

As far as context goes, my roommates and I have decided to hit the strip for spring break, since three of us are graduating this year.  We were going to stay at the Luxor, but have since changed our minds...  Anyway, congrats to mikeduffy for coming up with the solution - sorry for that one being so arduous.  I had no idea it would last so long, seeing as how, once the first part is solved, everything else (besides the video) pretty much falls into place.

Again, I'll have the next puzzle up in just a bit...

PUZZLE 12





Standard rules apply to this one - 5 spaces this week, then a clue and down to three spaces, etc...  Good luck!

WA-HOO!!!  Finally!!!  I only have one question left.   What is the picture of the World Trade Center buldings supposed to be?  I mean what is the name of the picture that begins with I...I still haven't figured that one out.

 I'll take spaces 1-4 : )

Not the greatest news, but you're now on the board!

*edit*

I'm trying to get a video up that's basically the same as the puzzle video, it just has what the name of each image is supposed to be.  Google video seems to think I'm violating someone's copyrights, though...  Check the link in the earlier post - I'll have it up somewhere eventually.

*edit*edit*

Alright...  It just got blocked by the copyright filter at Photobucket too...  I don't understand - literally the only difference between the two videos is that the solution video has subtitles...  Wierd.  Alright, I just posted the sequence of images up above.  mike, the one you were asking about was "illumination".

Well, this one seems hard as usual. 

 First off the bix box is 10x10 = 100 squares

There are 25 squares already filled in, which leaves 75 empty squares.

The small box is 8x8 = 64 squares...so there is a difference of 11 squares.

 If you take all of the letters and numbers in the small box, each number has these letters associated with it.

0       1       2       3       4       5       6       7       8       9
A       D      O      S       L       I       B       H       A      M
N       L       R       A      L      E       L       F       K      G
R       F      M       T       H      E      T       V       R      B
N       R      F       A       U      F      C       S               S
I        C      C       A               O       I        I                P
J       F       L       I                Y      H      O                T
P                       O                I       D       N
                         A                        Y        T
                                                             I

well

 

im still lost on this one..

thinking about it though..
