I still can't get the number grid & LX59. Maddening. In a fun way.  I *think* I have this solved but I'm not sure. With the other things being various ciphers you know when you've solved them because you get a word. But with this you get numbers and then what? I feel like this mini puzzle is extremely important to the final solution and probably the piece I'm missing. Has anyone solved this AND figured out the significance? |

I'd be curious to know if anyone has figured out the deciphering method for NB GN MW other than a basic cryptogram / process of elimination. It looks at first glance like a Playfair cipher but I'm pretty sure it can't be. It can be.  |

Our group has solved it and understands its theme-related significance. A cleverly worded post elsewhere indicates that at least one other person/group has also. But our group hasn't cracked the starfield or how to use it to decode the Master Riddle. Good luck! |

We solved the number grid, but can't figure out how it applies to LX59. I was certain we'd made progress when we found a definite pattern in the sky, but that also turned out to be a dead end. I am convinced that we are one "ah ha" moment away from a solution but hours and hours of staring hasn't uncovered one.

Inquiring minds want to know! If the June 20th hint doesn't fix the dead end, I might be inclined to share. I'd give a vague hint but I can't think of one that wouldn't point you straight to it. |

Well if you've solved it but still don't have the final solution, there must be more to it than I think. |

May we ask if outside research might be required in this hunt for information that is not common knowledge?

So...this hunt really should have been titled Have you Been Paying Attention, huh?

Was hoping I could get MANDALA ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala#:~:text=In%20New%20Age%2C%20the%20mandala ) to show me a path through the stars but alas I've concluded this is a futile attempt to fit a star-shaped peg into a square wormhole The cosmos is vast and yet Mr. Mouse continues pointing at Venus. As I'm sure is the case with most of #6 treasure hunters who're are still staring into the skies above, I've solved the following: * All ciphers/codes around the perimeter * Upside down square (lower left corner) >> although if its supposed to provide something we don't already know, the intended meaning hasn't sunk in yet * LX59 (tricky, but clever) Still don't have a confident solution for the number grid in the lower right corner. Although, I've attempted dozens of theories and re-read Jenny's 'Intro to Codes and Ciphers', this one is still a head scratcher. I'll continue to wish upon a shooting star and cast my hopes, dreams, and prayers towards the heavens. In the meantime, if anyone is interested in comparing notes, feel free to direct message me. |

Are you absolutely positive you've solved LX59?
