Puzzle #1 - Coloured dots

Just chopped it up and grouped the dots together. MORE DOTS!!! AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

Need to get web storage to upload files. Any recommendations?

I've already figured out one important thing: it's not a simple cryptogram.

My monitor here at work is horrible. I can barely tell the difference between the darker colors.

I'm going to have to play around with it and see if I can make any adjustments.

My first attempt was to break this up into 4 words using the black circles as spaces.

I have:

ABCDEF CDCGH IABJCH FIHKLHBFBMA

Oh man this is so Confusing !

I use photobucket. It seems okay.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on getting images on here please?

I get 15 different colours occurring in varying frequencies.

Hmm. Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but I came up a much different sequence:

ABCDEIFGDEDFHIJIBCKDHGFIHLMNCFCNB

I'd like to point out that, at first, I was totally jealous that I couldn't participate in the game but, given the theme and the complexity, all I can say is thank god I'm a mod.



Best of luck folks!

Cheers Ian. I'll try that.

Remember the clue said "16 is important". The hex values for the colours I take it are the right way to go?

reply to post by Sendran


Absolutely the right way to go Cryptogram broken but now what?

Are there spoiler tags here?

Thanks for all the help Crakeur

I've been trying to figure out the puzzle with basic sentence structure (Ie: most used letter being A, so most repeated color is A etc. etc. )

Hmm, I count sixteen unique colors:

ABCDEFGHDEDIJ
KBCLDJHGKJMNJCGCOP

Edit: Oops, silly me... it really is 15 colors (not counting black):
ABCDEFGHDEDIJ
KBCLDJHGKJMNJCGCOB

Did you enter the solution AND the thread ID? You may not want to give it away until you confirm.

Roswell.

Don't think the words are that long. There has to be spaces...

I think americandingbat solved it but don't know if he/she found the thread and ID#

Whats up AD?

No, I've just broken the code. I still don't have a thread number
