Looks like 2 puzzles to me, or a puzzle above and the way to solve that puzzle below, also in code.

I'm wondering if maybe there's a clue for the last one in there.

BTW, the last line reads "CKEEK" using the same correspodences from puzzle #2

No worries mate, I didn't refresh before posting mine either

We're on this line of the earlier clue:

"IT WILL BE OBSERVED THAT THE CYCLE OF TRIANGLES BUILDS WORDS AND SYMBOLS ARE DIAGONALLY TRUE."

Well not to sure where to start but am glad to not be looking at the purple haze

found this site may help scottbryce.com...

One thing for sure: we do not have to do intensive graphic analysis

For reference, the top section of triangles is:

ABCDEFG HBIJDFKE LFMNODCPANN LFGFIQMQRS HPAKAF

So far simple decryption has found nothing.

It looks like the symbols from the practice clues are inbetween the inverted triangle glyphs. Perhaps they did this to give us a jump start on what some of the triangles mean. The dot symbols are the letters: eniin. If you place them between the inverted symbols you have abcdefgfhdg, where b=e, d=n, f=i. I tried this in decrypto and got 'meancisions' as a word. Is that even a real word?

I think the fourth word should be LFGFIQMQRJ

You are right, it is. I was squinting for so long at the symbols I overlooked that.

Corrected Version: ABCDEFG HBIJDFKE LFMNODCPANN LFGFIQMQRJ HPAKAF

so if i may ask how is it you guys came up with that?

Start from A and work your way left to right.




When I run the whole sequence through decrypto I get garbage, but if I run the last two words through (LFGFIQMQRJ HPAKAF) I consistantly get 'BEDEVILING ASTUTE'.

too easy was going to try out the decrypto site but seems like its full at the moment all good and good luck

holy crap, i can't believe u guys actually solved the last one! way 2 go!!!!
my brain will HOPEFULLY heal in time

on topic---just wondering what lead you to think that we have to put the
letters in order? Or are you just trying something for the sake
trying?

Basically just finding a place to start. Im working now on trying to find which of the triangle symbols represents 'A'. From there I believe it to be a simple rotation of the individual triangles positions for the rest of the alphabet.

just something i noticed: every single "shape" has one triangle on the outside, right edge, pointing right.

also, just in case, the file name is "09djnc63jsnxhswnns"

hmmmmm, last one was 8, then 62. "+1" to both values? "+1" to "shapes"?

cycle, could mean pattern. I'll check to see if there is one.

Even if just one triangle piece was missing from each symbol, there would 32 possible combinations. Some symbols have as many as 4 pieces missing. I started thinking about the shapes. Remember those twisty puzzles that were in the shape of a rectangle, but as you twisted it, it broke down into triangle pieces?

Here's what I'm thinking. What if each piece represents a bit in an 8-bit pattern. The missing pieces are 0 and the remaining pieces are 1's. I tried twisting the piece in my head to stretch it out and find out which piece would be bit 1, 2, 3 and so on. Here's what I came up with so far:

The first piece = 189

Hey, that's a good idea! I wonder what diagonally true means.
