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

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."

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

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'.

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?

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
