The secret of Nim

Yeah, that's what i sent in too. I don't understand how the winning answer is a "crown" that doesn't even match the logo and requires flipping the image upside down, while there is already an actual crown in the image that almost perfectly matches the logo. I was prepared to not be chosen in the

The inspiration for my Ode to the Goddess Nim Dudes need to value the place of artistic and poetic inspiration in coding. Coding can't just be dry logic. It is supposed to be inspired by the observations and joys in life, by the beauty of nature, by the sounds and sights of everyday life. I th

any news on this?

The secret of Nim

exactly. I've found 10 ways to see a too-obvious kinda looking crown, but no way to get a proper exact crown using geometric transformations nor steganography

The secret of Nim

The picture looks like an obvious case of requiring _one particular kind of transformation_ , but all the results I got using the regular methods aren't really revealing, even though you can _kinda_ see the crown on all of them if you squint a bit.

The woman is also reptilian or amphibian (see the chin+mouth+snout combo) in-keeping with the egyptian theme. :)

She has not been shaved though...

I Think it's microscopic image inside of a Nim crown. to see the Nim crown you have to zoom out :-/

True but I've seen the movie recently already. But now I have to read Catch 22 again...

By the way, in case it went over anyone's head, this thread is an, ahem, not so subtle reference to a movie [based on a book](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs._Frisby_and_the_Rats_of_NIMH) (series) I enjoyed as a kid too many decades ago: I d

I am glad I am not the only one who sees it o_O

I saw it too, before I even read the replies to this post. I've seen deliberate imagery just like that before in psytrance visuals, so this isn't just a "dirty mind" thing lol

Hopefully this won't deviate the discussion that much, but the way those sand dunes are shaped, it makes the cover seem like one of those optical illusion pictures or "what do you see here" type of images. (I'll be specific in case I'm the only one... there seems to be some resemblance to a wom
