Find the rabbit

zemtex · June 11, 2011, 01:17:13 AM

In one of these boxes, there is a rabbit. This game is about finding the rabbit.

Post your answer. Consider the boxes as X,Y. X meaning horizontally and Y vertically.

X=1 Y=2 is a legal answer. Find the rabbit.

That's all very well, but there's is no mention of a reference point, therefore we have many solutions to the same problem - heh heh!! :)
This is a braille test - right ?

0,0

Would that be a one-pixel image of a rabbit?

The rabbit is in the upper-left corner, next to the x =1 y=4 red square, anybody can see it !!! :) :) :)

how about -1,-1 ???

Considering that the origin is at the top left (0,0) the rabbit must be in x=3,y=0 (black square). It is the only square where the color can completely obscure the rabbit.

If the color completely obscures the image of the rabbit, then it seems to me that there is no image of the rabbit there. The only possibilities that I can readily see for the image being somewhere in the 12-rectangle grid is that it's so faint that it's not visible, that it's hidden using some special characteristic of PNGs, or that it's been through several iterations of Sergiu's 100 to 1 compressor (if I could get the matching decompressor, I suppose I could repeatedly decompress each individual pixel and see if it expands to an image of a rabbit). After converting the PNG to a bitmap and examining a hex dump of the bitmap I see no indication of a faint image, but at 1,311,166 bytes it's somewhat hard to do a through examination.

I just loaded it into a graphics program and tweaked all of the normal adjustments and there is no other rabbit image apart from the top left one. The puzzle is based on semantics, not graphics.

I can't hold the answer back any longer. The rabbit is at x: -1 y: -1 Some of the boxes is simply white and one of them close to white, that is probably why some of you didnt think of it as part of the grid.

Or with cartesian: x: -1 y: +1

This osunds like a test only the HR department can devise... full of ambiguities. :)

sinsi · June 12, 2011, 10:48:39 AM

Since it is in the top left corner, the correct answer would be 0,0 surely? (with the grid being 5x4 and using graphics notation).

They cannot be part of the grid, all boxes have a black border regardless of color. White boxes are OK but they must follow the same border rules as other colors or the puzzle is just random.

it's probably part of a "psych test", intended to identify the personality catagory of the individual taking the test :lol
your answer is supposed to help determine whether you are a type A, B, or AB personality
there is no "correct" or "incorrect" answer
i think it's all hogwash :P

the reality of it is.....
....i don't see a damn rabbit !!!!

he's too big to have a personality catagory :bg

never did like "pigeon-hole psychology"
