I and some colleagues at work had a go at it. There are three stages, and that image is the first one. It's very computer-oriented. I won't give any spoilers away, but it's not the kind of code you can solve with a pen and paper; quite a bit of programming knowledge and tools are required to understand and solve the puzzles. I got to the third stage, but my computer packed up on Friday and I had to replace it so I've had limited opportunity to look at it further.
