    Well, I have finally managed to get ONE of my eyes to work a little less blurry... but with the other eye still really blurry I find that my vision is now worse than before (which is saying something)... my whole depth perception is thrown off!

    It's thrown me off so much that I now can't tell which eye is seeing what... hey... wait a minute... maybe I've put the wrong optical circuit in the wrong socket! :eek: I suppose that's possible... they both seem to be the same and I can't tell them apart. A bit of a catch-22... I need to see to fix my eyes, and I need to fix my eyes to see!:rolleyes:

    I'd better try re-installing them...

    Anyway, it looks like you guys are trying really hard to solve this puzzle!

    Keep up the good work team!:D

    Good Luck!:)

    Maybe the pictures on the left and right side represents garbot1's left and right eye. And the pictures make pairs horizontal. So we are searching a missing picture, the pair of C - disco02. So we need to find picture F.

    That makes sense. I was wondering if the missing picture is one of someone carrying a hoverboard. Because I see there are two pictures of riding a hoverboard, and 2 pictures of jumping (disco06 and IMG_1010). That leaves IMG_1013 as the odd one out.

    But I haven't been able to get anywhere with this yet. And my line of reasoning is probably off.

    I also had a similar idea about picture A, because that's the only picture, where the dude is standing on the ground.

    I managed to remove my new optical circuits (not too easy with my arms not working yet).

    The two circuits seem to be identical... but then again... maybe there is something different about them... hmm?:confused:

    I'll try asking the dispensing machine for help again.:rolleyes:

    Hope you solve the puzzle soon!:D

    Maybe there is a similar image to each one of the pictures from the clue? The search continues but no breakthroughs yet :|

    Well, I asked the dispensing machine if it makes a difference which optical circuit I put in which socket...

    It just said - "Did your vision go blurry when you installed them?"

    I answered that it did.

    So it replied with "Well then...Duh! Yes it makes a difference!":rolleyes:

    I then said "Well, I guess I should try swapping them"

    But the machine replied with...

    "Just make sure you do put the correct optical circuit in the right socket this time... otherwise you just might cause them to short out and get fried... and I won't dispense you with any more circuits if you blow those!":mad:

    Well that's great to know because now I've mixed the two circuits up completely...

    Oh how I wish I could tell the difference between the two "identical" optical circuits that I had removed...

    The cheeky machine told me to LOOK closely at the two circuits!

    I told it that without my eyes - I couldn't look at the two circuits to compare them.

    It replied by saying "Phtttttttttttt!"

    I think that means that it's not its problem.:rolleyes:

    I wish I could remember what the circuits are supposed to look like... then maybe I could tell them apart... they feel exactly the same... maybe there is a small almost indistinguishable difference... a little "R" for right, and a little "L" for left maybe?... or maybe... um.... hmm...

    I'm not getting anywhere...

    I might just have to risk it and put them back in any-old-way and hope that I don't fry them!

    ... wish me luck!


    Speaking of luck... Had any deciphering the 14th puzzle?:)

    Okay... I've put the optical circuits back in my sockets...

    And...

    I can see!!:)

    ... Well, kind of :(

    Well... actually... not really...

    Now all I can see is a big black SPOT in each eye! :(

    So I went from only seeing blackness... to only being able to see black spots!

    So, really there's no DIFFERENCE! :(

    I hope you guys are having more luck then me!:)

    garbot1 does that mean that your optics didn't get fried but that it is something else that isn't working?

    Well, I removed the lens caps!:eek:

    I can see!!!!:D

    Except...

    ...now I see everything double-vision!:(

    And one eye sees things slightly different to the other eye...

    I don't know how to explain it... it's kinda like...

    ...like.. playing spot the difference!;)

    Yes, light would help... it's kinda dim in this room...

    The only problem is... which light switch to use... I see two...

    ... like I said it's like playing SPOT THE DIFFERENCE;);):)

    Okay, I think I found something. I compared the picture with the originals, and noticed, that on picture E a yellow diamond is missing in the middle of the picture, near the guy's right hand.
    Keep searching...
