I don't really understand how it is a puzzle/riddle. "Post your findings?" It's a pixellated gif of a safe? It's safe "a" apparently? I don't get what the puzzle is.
Another hint: What's depicted doesn't matter, but the image does.
I could give more hints, but I can't really think of more that won't outright give away the solution, or at least the way to get the solution.
I don't know if puzzles like this really belong here, but it's a fun one nonetheless...
I haven't had a lot of time to analyze the image, but I'm guessing it involves some sort of steganography. Like, taking the last significant digits in the RGB value of each pixel starting in the upper right, and converting that to ASCII. (Except that exact formula doesn't seem to work.)
i don't think it takes a genius to solve this. i just think you should explain whats going on cause i dont think anyone has a clue what you're looking for. how to open it? how to move it? how much money is in it? i don't know what other questions i could ask.
Google image search "safe" and the thing and similar pop up, so it's nothing wrong with the safe itself. At the moment, the only question that comes to mind is "why has he posted a picture of a safe?"

Or...something like that...
Though he's over-thinking it, it's not as complex as what he's trying.
Could be a metaphor for the traditional Telltale adventure game puzzles, which often involved solving three things before progressing to the next stage. Sam & Max even made fun of that "three" concept in 202.
Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. This is why goal setting is so important, because otherwise, you don't know what you're trying to do.
Like Klatuu pointed out, there's something hidden in the image file. It's up to you guys to find out how and what. It doesn't require image editing software to find. There is no difficult math involved, or math of any kind.

I salute you Didero in this crusade against the obvious, but...it's just not happening. No one can even guess what the goal of the puzzle is. I understand that it might seem solvable to someone that knows the answer, but none of usunderstand yet.
Does it require hex editing software?
Does it require any software at all, or is it something in the picture that we need to solve?
Is the answer "shifdrows"?

I don't know how much that helps though.
Or, if the key doesn't fit on the lock...
I have no idea what the riddle is supposed to be.

Like why there's both a combination lock and a keyhole? That is puzzling to me, cause usually its just one or the other.
At least this puzzle is a real challenge, and not like the easy ones posted before
And the answer is...
DRUMROLL PLEASE!!
....:
You are insane.
NEXT!
Gah! I don't know! There's nothing to solve! It's just a stupid picture of a safe!
No, the cake is a lie.
What's the answer?
Answer:
And why is Watson avoiding me?
And that wasn't a clue. What do you mean avoiding you? Did you try contacting me or something?

I don't think we'll get it any time soon.
Unless someone randomly has a brainwave
I still have no idea what the question is.

It's recursion!

Never mind that then.
