Inverting the colors helps to bring out the watermark...not sure what the symbol is however...

Its the same image.. just turned around in some of them.. Looks to me like the one in the knife photo is someone playing a saxaphone...

Doesnt' look relevant...

I'm still trying to figure out why people are delving into vague "clues" like these "watermarks" that may or may not be relevant when there is a clear puzzle element (the numbers) that doesn't have an explanation. Focus on what you're given, people. :)

As to the cipher...

Chapter, Paragraph, Word and Letter wouldn't matter in a different printing of a novel would it?

Only Page and Line would be off.

Except that this type of code is almost always done by page ... not to mention that not every picture has all four elements.

Actually it would.. Alot of books are re-edited years after they are released. So some versions of books have entire sections added or even removed...

      By olavinto · Posted

      The problem is in the fundamentals of how businesses are allowed to operate and the change should happen in the basics and certain consumer friendly and moral practices should be enforced by law. This would fix so many things, not just this ages old default browser issue which is a tiny drop in the backut that includes a flood of privacy and other issues.
