        It's not impossible, just harder. Remember it's level 30, so expect it to be hard.
        This challenge had taken considerable time to conceptualise, to think of how to make it sufficiently challenging.
        Good luck!

        well i wasn't asking about challenge types ... since if i recall corectly theres only one stegano challenge so far and its kids stuff, unless you reffer to that specific challenge
        i was asking which one do you think its best out of the 30 that are posted so far

        Yes, I meant the single stego. four mouse clicks with the right tool.
        Difficulty is only a part of "good" to me . 28 was difficult and good,as 30 was also.
        28 would be my second choice. What's your choice for second best ?

I liked this challenge -- the first part challenged the mind, and the second part was just plain sneaky. :)
For the first part, BTW, I'd use the phrase "enclosed area" instead of what you've got there now.

  "enclosed area" in place of the descriptive text on the challenge page?

  I agree with yai2k3. The present descriptive text could be thought "sneaky" otherwise.

    You mean "Complete the grid so that..." should be changed to something else?
    Btw, did you have some sort of program to change your country (the flag) dynamically? Or do your actually move from place to place - afghanistan, zimbabawe, cambodia, turkey, united states...and now gibraltar. ;)

      You give specific dimensions in the challenge text, ones which clearly do not apply. :)
