To people who play... what do you use to solve the MP? I know there are databases of ITEM pictures... but what about every picture on Neo? And is there a tool you use that can zoom out to make it easier (although it might make it harder since it would get smaller....). It makes me sad when an MP goes by and no one on Codex (and as you saw today, no one on at all) figures it out... =(

I PM Waser Lave. He's a robot.

LOL, no doubt. Trying to be part of the SOLUTION, here

You don't need to, cuz the solution is actually a program

wow didn't know there program to solve it

Sigh

*sigh* There goes a post from your post count. Now, stop spamming?

There's no way someone would be able to sift through the bajillion images on Neopets and match it with a small magnification, and do it on a weekly basis without committing suicide.

well very true though smart program that do matching

I sometimes only use paint to routate it and look at it on each side, it does help sometimes got a bronze trophy doing that

I've said this before, but my guess as how Waser and such solve them is with an image recognition bot that trawls a spider-built image database until it finds a perfect match of the images' identifiable pixel patterns.

That would take a while, I can find the answer within 30 seconds.

You are a freakin champion.

wanna give a hint as to how that is accomplished?
on what day does the new mystery pic come out?

Tuesday and thursday?

[AyoForYayo]

Thank jeesus you people use a program. I would go insane if I had to figure out the mystery pic without one.

Not placing any blame... but how about those MPs when we don't get a solve? is it because the image isn't in the DB? or was Waser Lave just lazy those times

[iamlost26]

Okay, all joking aside, I am seriously confused and unable to read any of the sarcasm in your guys' posts.

So, what I've gathered is:
1. Waser Lave has a program that figures out the MP automatically OR
2. Waser Lave IS a program that figures out the MP automatically (perhaps... a human program?)

Also, I've taken soul stealer's post to mean that when Waser Lave does not figure out the MP, it's because he took him into a back room and smeared him with oil.

some picture not inside database.
