Yay Nicky!

Are any of you in university in the states? If so, keep an eye out to see if Microsoft hosts an puzzle competitions there. They've had one here at umich for the past 2 years. Lots of fun and prizes too :D and people on here would probably do pretty well.

Hm... well, before I start wandering off on tangents, let's get the basics out of the way: It's a 3 digit number, with E1, EF, EI being the three digits, right?

169 seems too easy but I'll guess that for starters anyway.

Yep :D

Its encoded BTW, 4 times :D But its pretty obvious what encoding methods have been used when you think about them :D

:lol: Im not that high :lol:

If you want a clue as to how to find the decoding method
Think about what one of the digits MUST be ;)

Right, I know that part :) the question is what decoding methods and in what order...

I gave some clue in another thread :D

1st: L*****=N***** and vice versa
2nd: 6 sided decoding :D

No clues past there :D

Well, Nicky handily beat notpron a lot faster than I. So I'm gonna assume that IQ is higher than mine. Although I can't decode it yet, maybe I've eliminated some possibilities...

:hmmmz:

Oh, duh, I tried the first but only did it the first way around (ignored the vice versa)

I don't know what 6-sided means... I'm trying something, regardless
edit: nevermind, I think I know what you mean by 6-sided, and I think that was what I had in mind.

:lol: BTW its an average because I've taken many IQ tests :D
Some of the more recent ones have been about 10 higher than what the average is :D

@Nickspoon: What was your answer I missed it :D
