Welcome If you are here, you probably saw this pop up in the main page and decided to check what it is about. Or maybe you didn’t. In any case, I will get right on it!
The most gracious team of knights to have ever graced this gracious land with their gracious presence (that is, @ivanxxxxxxx and myself of course ) has decided to host a fun puzzle game for this noble community xD

Specifically, ivan has worked on some logic puzzles that will be posted here. Anyone may try to solve them.

Rules

  • The puzzles will be hard but created from scratch by @ivanxxxxxxx This means googling won’t help you! You will have to work hard to solve them
  • Do not take wild guesses. Support your answer with images if you can and explain your way of thinking.
  • At times you may be given a proper format for the solution. You can solve the puzzle a different way but try to convert that into the format for easier judging
  • Hints will be given out on regular occasions.
  • Each time there is a new puzzle or sets of puzzles, they will be uploaded.
  • There is no set time period in which the puzzles need to be solved.

Example:

- First puzzle (solved by @Doombreed and @Swarmlord2 ), posted on January 10th 2017. Originally posted here:

Of course not. It *ahem* MAY be given out in a later hint if the puzzle proves too hard to crack

And the grayscale too.. Lovely puzzle m'lord.

Alright, I found some.

In the top left with Indiana Jones, in one of the pictures there are three snakes and in the other there's two.

The castle next to Indiana Jones, one picture shows it's open, the other it's closed.

On the path in the north, one of the skull shaman guys replace a lizard guy in one picture.

On the edge of the west path another skull guy has black eyes in one picture, white in the other.

On the same path there is a guy with a sword who holds his sword at a different side in both pictures.

On the same path there is a skull in one picture, and in the other it's gone.

Speaking of skulls, that skull castle in the north has two skulls on the side in one pic, one in the other.

On top of the central castle there is a wizard, but there's also a big guy with an ax.

The castle has two windows, one of them disappears, another is in different spots.

On the right of the castle, there is a genie's lamp, but in the other pic there isn't.

Above the east path there is a small path where either a big ax guy is or a skulled shaman guy.

On the same small path a tree is either there, or it isn't.

On the south path there are two mummies, one of them can't decide where to look.

So I found about 13 or 14 differences. I'm pretty sure that's probably not all of them though.

Dang it Screw beat me to it.

@R2D21999 and @ScrewTheLag yes, you've missed some But you are doing well so far. For ease, you can try marking the differences in MSPaint and uploading the image, with the marked differences here.

Sadly, 17 is not a correct answer. Thank you for trying, I really appreciate it.

Skull and I have found 17 differences so far I agree with Raven @K4R45U that there's only 17.. -_- Rest of the searching just makes you paranoid

@Saiyoku

I am just been multitasking lately, hehe. Anyway, all the differences marked on the image are valid, but... unfortunately, (you didn't expect it to be that easy, did you?) 17 isn't a correct answer.

I would rather not. I don't like the idea of effectively giving away answers.

Answer: 88
They missed at least four and counted another twice. I would have set the number at 78, but because some lines are very nearly parallel, the actual count can be up to 92. Solution here.

Find the differences between the 2 pictures:
There are exactly 19. 20 if you include one picture being higher than the other.

Box marked 2: oval missing from top/oval added in bottom.
Box marked 3: different character/added tree/added stone.
