[Tutor] Is anyone still working on the Python Riddles? #12

[D. Hartley]

Hello everyone!

I know the thread has died down to nothing, but I was wondering, is
anyone still working on the python challenges? I managed to get to #12
(!!) and feel like I'm learning a lot, especially about PIL.

I'm stuck on this one now, tho, and it seems like everyone in the
forum got the beginning part before they started asking questions,
because they're way ahead of me! That usually seems to be the case for
me. If I can get the initial file or find the sequence or puzzle or
whatever, I can usually at least figure out things to try on it. It's
getting to the riddle that is the hard part for me.

I know this one is another image manipulation exercise (or at least
partly so), but am not sure what elements are merged/shuffled in that
I need to work with.  I tried splitting RGB but that wasn't it (I keep
hoping that will solve one of these upcoming riddles, since it's a
trick I figured out on my own, but it hasnt come up yet, ha ha).  The
forums sounded like there were lots of 'hints' (something about five
objects?), but I plugged a bunch of things into the url looking for
hints and found nothing but 404's.

If anyone is still working on these (or got past 12), do you have any pointers?

Thanks!
