The most difficult “Where’s Waldo?” ever

Yes, I like puzzles, especially in summer. And I think you will like this one too (or maybe you will go crazy!). You will probably remember Waldo from your childhood. Well, he has differente names, for me his name was Wally.

I used images from Wenda, Odlaw, The Wizard and Woof (the dog) and spread them more than 25.000 times over a big Waldo image… And somewhere… there is one Waldo… only one.

Take a closer look.

Before clicking a WARNING, the image is huge (6.000×11.550 pixels, more than 20MB) so you better download it and use an image viewer to do the search. Right click and “Save Target As…”.

All media from the official “Where’s Waldo?” site.

I’m going to tell you a secret… I don’t really know where waldo is in this image. Don’t panic, he must be there because I force my program to do it… but I dont want to cheat looking at my log file.

So the first one who finds Waldo will win a free Image-To-Words. I will do  an image to words transformation with the image the winner choose. Just post a comment with the approximate position.

[UPDATE] You have two different versions to solve:

Where’s Waldo
Where’s Waldo 2

[UPDATE 2] Here you have a vector base version of Where’s Waldo 2. The characters have been simplified in order to reduce the file size.

JO-D-100611-WhereisWaldo2.pdf (Take Care!, more than 60MB)

[UPDATE 3] Navigate 2.5 Gigapixel version of this image trough Zoom.it.

And this is the guy you are looking for:

Good Luck!

Dedicated to my brother… (hey man, try with this one!)
