Can you explain a bit more how this works? I am not familiar at all with these challenges
50kB to 4kB is a 10x compression, it doesn't seem that huge, what's the achievement here?

"The uncompressed image is 12 times larger than the source code of the program which includes the image data and the complete decoder. The actual image data is 1220 byte long, which gives a compression ratio of 40. Using a JPEG-like algorithm would not be enough to reach this level of compression (the Lena image would be barely recognizable). So the algorithm is based on the latest advances in image compression."
