T Puzzle: Whoa -- I have a Migraine! (temporary title)

by Jofish Kaye

Hints:

1. If only there was some sort of standard code for this.
2. Look beyond the text. You have to see it for yourself.
3. Relax. Let your eyes unfocus.

Answer:

This puzzle is a stereogram. In order for it to work, however, the solver must notice that the first and last lines are identical; each one contains no spaces and no repeated characters. Sorting the columns so that the top/bottom are in (increasing) ASCII order gives:

Now it is a standard stereogram. Staring gives "rota teNinet ydef rees ccw." The answer is ROTATE NINETY DEGREES CCW."
