[11] Google that quote.
I think I'm close but I can't get a word when I do what it tells me to do.

Or, maybe I'll come back, and instantly understand.

[6] "Why on earth is this image 650KB!?!?" - shrapnel
I guess I'm open to suggestions - using Windows, made it in .png When i converted to .jpg (using MS Paint) some of the details became blurry. Then Tanga must "convert" again before posting, and it became more blurry.
What's the best combo - smallest file size with highest detail/sharpness??

[17] Have a look at the GIMP (gimp.org) or Paint.NET (getpaint.net) for free image editors with more oomph than Paint; either one should be adept at converting between file formats while keeping the size down. For something like this with lots of solid colors and very little photographic material, PNG or GIF would be good formats to use. What led you to convert to JPEG first instead of submitting the PNG?
Just opening the image Tanga provides above and resaving it in the GIMP (still PNG) drops the file size by almost 2/3. Converting it to a GIF (losing a little fidelity on the photographic bits) drops it to under 100KB.

[15] Until I figured out what the quoted words meant, I was lost.

[19] Heh, I got that and I'm STILL lost. :)

Well, it wasn't as hard as I thought. Once you get the quotes, do what one says and consider what it gave you. A bit of a shake-up should lead you back to the something you've seen. Hope that's not too salty.

On a related note, twelve plus one equals eleven plus two.

[22] Thank you very much. By the way, does anyone know what the ring herders have to do with anything?

[23] same strategy as shymer and simper

[24] Ahh. I didn't follow the list down far enough. It was harder to nag a ram, in this instance.

Okay, I'm stuck. I've figured out the quoted words. I think I've followed things and I get nothing even thinking about "SHYMER" I'll need some real FMHG on this one, I think.

[26] If you've followed directions correctly, then you should be able to get the answers sometime toknight.

I appreciate this puzzle for being unusual, but giving you the information you need once you figure it out. Hard but not impossible. I liked the logic of it even though it wasn't linear in presentation. For some reason puzzles like this appeal to me.

I wish/hope we could/can access the solution after having solved it. I'd like to know some of the reasoning behind certain pieces. (Oh, and that's not a knock at the puzzle. I enjoyed it a bunch.)

Oh man. I should have had that AGES ago, but I clearly don't know how to do basic [redacted for salt].
Nice puzzle just the same.

I'm still stuck where I was this morning. I've got a phrase relating to unsettling playthings, but I can't think where to go from there. I think I should be looking for something that might follow that phrase in a certain literary form, but I can't think of anything.

Okay, I'm stuck. I know shymer and simper, and ring herders, but I have no idea what to do beyond that.

Wait a minute - since when isn't 1 a prime number? I got 10 letters, which I anagrammed to CREEPY TOYS (see my earlier note about "unsettling playthings") and couldn't think what to do next.

[39] this is what threw me, too.

*** [39] *** The number 1 has never been a prime number. Remember, a number that is prime has no other numbers greater that it that can be divided by it. Like 2, an even number, wipes out all other even numbers. So if 1 were a prime, it would eliminate ALL other numbers greater than 1.
