Those who know the passwords, please don't tell. :)

So? What's inside it? Tits? Mudkips? Who knows, try to solve it ;)

Edit: Fumbled for now.

Maybe he posted an image then forgot to actually upload it? Or some other problem? Cause we can't see anything.

Read the text on image, it's kind of puzzle that has levels. Once you "open" that picture (which is actually rar file) you will get another puzzle and so on. And eventually you will see what's actually inside. :)

E: Here is direct link to image http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/3570/1196130477184sqp0.jpg if it didn't show up for you.

Its a picture so you cant copy paste it to word document and do a world count. Anyways you are suspose to figure out "the password" the pass are the letters/digits from word 1000-1020. In other words find out what words are 1000-1020. Yes, that means you must count letters past 1000.

Thats why you do this if you are bored. And no I didn't do it.

Oh shit. I got broken version of it. Trying to fix it.

It's easy to solve this with a bit of maths…

The password is the 1000th to 1020th digits of Pi.. Its in white so don't highlight if you don't want to know.

Theres an explanation down here but it gives the answer away. A shape with point a constant distance from point is circle. The ratio between the perimeter (Pi * d) and the diameter (d) = dPi/d = Pi.

You missed the whole part about 2d planes, points with a constant distance from a point and the ratio bit. ;)

Wow…so you must have been really bored =P.

Actually I didn't really understand (well I didn't pay attention to) the part about the 2D stuff

That's how to get the rar file, but I'm not sure, you would need a direct link to the image file, not just imageshack I think.

If you understand what its asking its pretty simple. When you get to high school you do this stuff all the time.

Where did you find this secet?

Well, once you think about it, it's easy. It's one of those 'Duh' things.

I DON'T GET IT!

Using maths. The explanation is posted up there in my post.

BTW I think Secet doesn't want you to tell him.

Maybe the guy who posted the answer should edit his post? Or make a nice, big, red warning at the top?

This is cool though :) It'd be nice to have a working version of it, but still. It's cool :)

Actually, I put what I don't get in my "EDIT:"
I don't know how he found the 1000-1200 digits of pi.
(The I DONT GET IT part was actually a joke, but figured it would be spam if I didn't put in a good question, so I edited the post)

But i dont get how to use the password.

Well, piday.org silly :p

Edit: @ me_natl,

If the image wasn't stored on ImageShack and/or we could find the original, we would just be able to rename the image to .rar, and type in the password it asks for on extraction. To save space on it's server, though, ImageShack messes with the format of each image you put in. In turn, putting the kibosh on the whole hidden file thing :p
