Someone might enjoy this, it still has me beaten.
Warning: No SQL ! (at least not in the first 3 pics ;) )

Edit:
Just realized that the girl who made this is from a very small village in northern sweden, and a member of mensa.
You know, the organisation for the smart kids.

Clueless, tried some "dirty" stuff like just putting the characters into one line ignoring spaces.
Maybe the chiffer-like structure is just a trick, when the solution is really simple... d*rn
Where is the pattern !!!!

edit:
Hey ehorn, any clues ???

5 took the longest to find - I messed with the monitor contrast and viewed at an angle.
6 is easy for you hackers out there :)

EDIT: just cracked 7... They seem to be getting easier..

My bad moose - That was for Stage 4, 5 is a highlighting game. drag you mouse over the image.

thanks for the tip, so far I have stood on my head watching the monitor from every angle and every contrast... hmmm it's not 1/4... time for a beer....

>> Hey Moose is 5 Swedish?
Det är inte svenska, men svårt att lösa är det iaf.

I would strongly recommend photoshop...

replacing a color (maybe try fuzziness:0;lightness:-100;)

It's one of those 3D stare-o-grams. It's one of those things where you either can see them or can't. I remember wondering what all the hype was about these things until FINALLY, after years of trying, I finally saw one. If you can't see it after a minute or two then stop, or else you'll get a major headache.
