I'm trying to figure out the following riddle/challenge to proceed to the next level, and was wondering if anyone on the forum might be able to help me out.
They give the following image,
Along with a hint,
Hint: Favicon
Which refers to the favourite icon in one's browser.
Now when we view the source code of the page we see the following,
I have a hunch that this portion of the source code has something to do with the answer, " <linkrel='shortcut icon' type='image/x-icon' href='/2011/qrcodes/36af7945da72824e5e639fa1d1e46244.png' />
"
Any ideas?
I've figured part of it out. I navigate to the favicon and I scan the barcode and it brings me to this link,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_notation_(chess)
Does it want me to insert the remaining moves for a checkmate? Do I have to input a series of moves or simply one? Can anyone spot it?
To me it looks like Be7 would be a checkmate, no?
Nevermind I've solved it.
