DaVinci's box code contest

[KeyserSoze]

Looks like we have a winner! Congrats Dan! Here's the breakdown:

Well first off, it's abit bright so tone down the brightness on the image or add some black and the code will reveal itself.

Hope you all enjoyed that one. Prizes will go out tomorrow.


It's about that time for another contest. Has a little DaVinci code twist to it. See below and good luck! The light may blind you from what's right in front of your eyes.

Rules:
Must be a good standing member. At least a couple months, depending on activity.
First person to 'post' the answers to the code wins.

(If your unsure if you meet the requirements or have any questions, PM me first before posting an answer)

OK 160 views and no posts so I ahve to be the one to ask . . . . WTF??? I do not see anything? Am I missing something?

 

[KeyserSoze]

There's something there. You just have to look a little closer. Watching the DaVinci Code movie might help you get started. I left a little hint in the original post as well.

 

[AVB]

I see it and I've got all the codes I just can't get past them all starting the same. I don't have the time to really look into it so I'm gonna pass this to somebody else who can devote the hours needed.

 

[mysterea]

there's definitely something in there, nothing wrong with your computer.
(well done)

[KeyserSoze]

Here's a little hint: You won't find the answers here on the forums but in something you might read.

So you want me to go and check all pages of book again?
Hm... maybe its because I have polish version, hmm

 

[tasman]

Do you believe in something you cannot see?

 

[PuroEsq]

This looks like a really fascinating contest, can you explain how exactly it all worked?

 

[KeyserSoze]

^ Updated for you insight. Check first post. If you need further clarification, I'd be happy to elaborate.

Damn! I go to church and someone else solves it! Nice contest all the same, well designed.

Congrats Dan.

Wow, congrats Dan! Now I know why I had no chance and had to give up after 3 hours

And to thik that answer was in Holts Magazine, and I was trying to use Hebrew alphabet, soundless vowels that are not used when you write a word, 5 letters word key to decode it, a little cryptology and 2 directions Hebrew alphabet to change consonants :whistling:

 

[insight]

Ok this sort of raised the bar, very creative!

 

[Putz Mulligan]

I'm with you Michal! I was going off of DaVinci's Box Code contest, rearranging the letters, trying to get them to fit in a square with 116 letters, going vertical, horizontal, pulling my Dan Brown books down to assure myself that I was doing it correctly. My wife asked me if I was doing Statistics?? Go figure.

Great contest though.

FANTASTIC CONTEST! Great work to both the author and the winner!

Figures, I had this all elaborate scheme of Seadub's dog Murphy, with Puffstuff posting in that threat (one place to shop) and he became an Uncle on May 2nd and someone had a Padron cigar pic in that thread. . . :whistling: :whistling: :whistling:

Needless to say I was a bit off!

I was just looking at the Famous-Smoke catalog and thought I figured it out, just too late!!!

Great contest, :thumbs: thanks for the mental workout!!!

Congrats to the winner and the contest maker himself. I'm glad I didn't spend my time since I didn't have Holt's mag to start with.
