This is just an extention off of my last post (don't feel like linkwhoring, and I only have 4 now)If you haven't gotten to the last page, all you're going to do is spoil your own fun, and have nothing to look forward to. Anyone who did make it to the last page....scroll down
Alot of people have been working on this last page, and someone got the bright idea to check out some nifty ideas. They converted green to ascii, then on out to text, then they ran their decoder, and got this final paragraph:
"You know, I have often been asked "What's the history behind your nick?" To the askers I have always responded a long answer of utter drivel. Today will be no different, for the true answer is unknown to me, as far as you know. I, relpats_eht, am no different from anyone else. Well, perhaps a bit different, a bit off, if you will. Most people have thus come absent mindedly to the conclusion that I am just that little bit different from the rest of society because of what they believe to be above average intelligence, despite frequent retorts to these claims. I am relpats_eht, neither smarter nor dumber than anyone else. The only true disparity is that I haven't the smallest inkling of anything which could be considered a life. Quite frankly, I do not even know what that means. Now, if you were to mull over that statement for a second, you may have a hint as to the origin of my nick. Now then, in the time it has taken for your two red eyes to skip over the few pixels separating this sentence, as well as reading this sentence, I expect you must have figured it out. The reason my nick is relpats_eht is because I was bored. There is no reason, history or meaning behind it. It does not have anything to do with staplers, the fact that when read backwards it does say such is strictly coincidence. It is merely a random combination of letters my fingers happened to fall on as I typed. No more, no less. When you have as little of life as I have, on occasion you may find yourself randomly typing at the keyboard. Not typing words, only letters accordingly to kill time, and tire your fingers out. It so happens that one day what I found among the bytes of pointless ramblings that the sequence of letters r e l p a t s _ e h t happened to emerge more than once. Because this string of letters was among the few pronounceable things that had ever fallen from my fingers, and the only pronounceable thing to appear more than once on the same page, it was chosen as my nick. An anti-climactic story, I am sure, but do not worry, their wasn't much rising action, so you wont fall too far back down the conclusion. This, of course being a conclusion to something I have written, will make not the smallest bit of sense. Have fun finding the last answer; there is nothing random about it."
Now its just a matter of piecing everything together.

If we're working with an 8-bit system, and there are 11 characters in his name... wouldn't that allow for 88 different possibilities per character, and thus 968 possibilities?
------
I might be wrong here, but here's how I see it: there are 8 bits per character, and 11 characters. Thus there are 88 bits that make up his name. If a single bit is off, there are 88 different words to try (since we don't know which of the 88 bits is off).
That being said, I think this is an incorrect tangent. There's probably no answer, like a_reader said :)

I don't even know what the hell ascii or bits are, and to be honest, I'm glad I don't. Once I got to the whole save the image and change the contrast, then use computer jargon...no. I use a computer for three things, killing time, writing reports, and looking at porn. I have neither the interest nor the time to learn this nonsense.

This is beginning to hurt my braing. Up until page 12 all was fun and games. I don't know hex, but here I sit with a "hex workshop" program in front of me, trudging away.

I wonder if it deals with changing one bit in the ascii of his name. There are 88 bits, which mean there could be 88 possibilities...

Well, the thing is, is that ANY averag person can figure it out, they just have to spend the time to learn the information. I wasn't NEARLY as computer literate when I started this, but by going through the steps, I've learned in leaps and bounds.
And I'm just a little above average high school student.

Anyone with a high school education can do these? My ass.
I've never even heard of MD5, taken any computer course..have no idea what the fuck hexadecimal is and just wow..
But..I am amazed by people who can think like this.
I think I use my right brain more..I can't get past page 7

"I, relpats_eht, am no different from anyone else. Well, perhaps a bit different, a bit off, if you will."
I wonder if it deals with changing one bit in the ascii of his name. There are 88 bits, which mean there could be 88 possibilities (if this guess is correct, which it's probably not).

No, I'm not the stapler guy, just another person trying to figure it out. That is one of the clues that comes along later once you decipher stuff on the last page.
I still don't get it.
