Hint #1: Jpeg metadata is easy to edit and view. Have you checked that out yet? 

Hint #2: Each color on a computer screen contains three different values. Do you see any patterns with these specific numbers? What could these values correspond to...? 

Hint #3: Page, line, character... But it would be cruel to make you count all the way to 256, wouldn’t it? 

Hint #4: An error has been found with the colors of the original image. It has now been fixed. 

Hint #5: Left-Right, Top-Bottom; These are the colors used in the image:

•  96 0 32

•  32 96 160

•  128 32 96

•  224 96 160

•  160 64 32

•  96 64 128

•  0 160 192

•  0 128 128

•  64 96 96

•  256 96 0

•  96 192 256

•  224 64 160

Hint #6: Every Line counts and every character counts. Footnotes, headers, titles, spaces (even some text within images). Everything is important. 

Hint #7: The JPEG Meta data will show you where to look.

Hint #8: All the numbers seem to be related in some way. Maybe this hint will be an important factor in helping you find the answer to this puzzle.

Hint #9: The numbers all seem to be divisible by 32...

Hint #10:
