[BrendanS]

Count the men. Watch and wait. Where does the extra man come from?

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Arghhhhhhhh.....

Brendan.... you have just completely [censored] my whole [censored]weekend.......

[Johnjo]

No idea, gave up after my eyes crossed for the fifth time..

Oooh my head still hurts lol.....

 

[eyehavit]

Brendan, that is brilliant. Please. out with the answer before we go quite mad.

 

[BlueMan]

If you can tell me how to extract freeze frames from an animated gif then I'll work it out! I can freeze it but can't work out how to extract copies of the frozen state.

 

[BrendanS]

Well, it's.......ooh, look at the time, must dash. Back on Monday! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Pierrot]

Very clever - and yes I can see how it works /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[Sgeir]

is that someone else's fleece you're wearing?

 

[ubuysa]

Would that be the "twelfth man" that Delia Smith was drunkenly ranting about the other Saturday?? Seems like you've found him! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Press "Print Screen" (top row next to F12)
Open image editor (Photoshp or whatever)
Choose new window
Paste (control -V)

It's an animated Gif with 64 individual frames. To deconstruct them you need an animated Gif editor.Copying and pasting in to a normal graphics editor will do no good at all

 

[Phoenix of Hamble]

Brendan,

I've just spent 15 mins with the animated GIF editor in PaintShopPro... and I still can't work the darned thing out..........

It will, if you copy multiple frames at different parts of the animation. Print Screen only copies what is on the screen at the moment so you could in theory capture every frame. So if you haven't got and Animated Gif editor that is the way to do it.

 

[VicS]

Have captured the twelve-man picture and 13-man picture and an intermediate picture and printed them and cut one up to make a jig saw.

Still going mad but beginning to see some of the discrepancies.
It wont help even if you print all 64 frames.

Ban Brendan until he explains it !

 

[snowleopard]

very difficult to see what's what when it keeps moving and you can't stop it in mid-shuffle.

what i can see is that the 13th man is made up by pinching bits from the others, for example in the 13-man version the leftmost has lost his hair and the right-but-one has lost his chin. others have shorter legs and there's a horizontal slice through a pair of shoes that alows them to serve two pairs of legs.

b*****y clever. someone must have spent ages working it out.

 

[BrendanS]

Yep, that's pretty much it. There are only twelve legs and twelve bodies to begin with, and you can see all the bits move so no legs or bodies are being added. So the extra body has to come from a variety of bits of other bodies....... if you break down the gif you can colour code different bits of the 13th man, and see where they end up in the 12man version

 

[eyehavit]

Dammit Bredan, stick to nipple tweaking. Far less painful. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

 

[oldharry]

Dead easy - its the bottom one on the left hand end. When theres 13 men, he hasnt got the very top of his head, whereas all the others are complete. When theres only 12 bottom left is complete!

 

[Seafort]

I found the wheel on my mouse (click and slow scroll) enough to follow what was happening.

Was good though /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
