This is a three-dimensional nonogram. The first ten squares depict the layers of a $10\times10\times10$ cube. The final square gives the enumerations for the Z-axis, top to bottom. Some rules:

  • If a row or column has no numbers, that means that the composition of that row/column is unknown. Note that this is different than the usual practice in nonograms where a missing number means that the row/column has no shaded cells at all. In our case, such rows can be explicitly marked with a zero.
  • The Z-axis enumerations are all single digits, so e.g. 11 means two stretches of one, not one stretch of eleven.
  • The thin black lines in the middle are just visual aids. They're not meaningful to the puzzle itself.

  • $\begingroup$ Nice job! A couple of "pixels" are off (e.g. row 5, column 7 currently has 10 shaded cells instead of 6&2), but overall that looks like the correct image. What I was trying to draw was a rot13(Puevfgznf gerr jvgu cerfragf haqrearngu), but I won't blame anyone for not seeing that from the final picture :D The animated image is certainly convincing, even though it wasn't what was intended. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ That makes a lot more sense. It seems obvious now but I think I would have had a hard time guessing it. I have tried to fix up the errors, it is hard work to check 100 vertical columns :) $\endgroup$
