I would love to compare notes with anyone that has solved LX59. I think that is the only piece that we have not solved.

If my logic is correct there are multiple ways it can be solved. My solution came out to a very specific answer. If there are multiple solved, I'd be shocked. It wasn't exactly ambiguous. It wasn't overly helpful, but it was a fairly clear solve. Although if LX59 somehow tweaks the puzzle, maybe there are multiple solutions?? I sort of assumed that LX59 was just a hint on how to solve the grid until someone else posted that they had gotten a solution specific to LX59. |

Exactly my thought. Since LX59 is in such close proximity to the grid, I thought it meant that 9 has to be along the diagonal which only allows for one solution. But if you solved the grid for sure without that, my assumption must be wrong.

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? 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! By elsewhere do you mean elsewhere on this forum or on some other site? |

You don't need to understand that comment to decode the 4x4 grid, and understanding that comment better won't help you decode the 4x4 grid. The grid is decoded in a slightly less straightforward way than the other encoded things on the image. But when it's decoded, the result is very theme related and you'll understand if/when you solve it. Our group did not decode or use LX59 to decode the grid. We still don't understand LX59 and would love a nudge there if someone feels like nudging us! |

What I find interesting about LX59 is that she put boxes around the 5 and 9. Why bother?

Me too! But it isn't so I wonder what it signifies.

Our group has solved the number grid but has no idea what the LX59 is supposed to mean. Are you saying you believe it was supposed to be a hint on how to solve the number grid? If so, it's certainly going over our heads. ?? |

If so, it's certainly going over our heads. ?? Only a very very basic hint that perhaps numbers in the grid turn into letters somehow. And I am only assuming that because of its proximity to the grid. The same way that the diamonds were really close to the cipher in the bottom corner and that was a clue for that solution. If LX59 is an entirely separate puzzle than I struggle to see who those four characters could turn into something. I DID find that LX59 could be a model of a telescope which I thought fit in with the theme but didn't point me to anything else. We have gone down numerous other rabbit holes with LX59. (T9 cipher, roman numerals, etc). |

I think I posted this before, but I thought LX 59 meant the 5 is on the L (one of the edges) which it is because that's one of the pre-existing numbers, and the 9 is on the X or diagonal. With this info there was only one solution. But people have said that they're positive they've solved the number grid but don't know the answer to LX59 so it must be unrelated. |

Could anyone be so inclined to tell me how many ciphers/codes they have on this one? I just realized that I had missed an easy one (literally the second easiest one to figure out bc I didn't see the dots) - I printed it out and it's not very vivid - I think my ink is low :/
I've since compared and double checked against the pdf page, but was hoping for a second set of eyes to verify that I'm not overlooking anything.
Thanks!

Thanks! If you've solved any of the codes, you've probably identified the general category. You should be able to find one code for every example of that category, plus a bonus code in the bottom right hand corner, plus a Morse code message on the bottom of the page. In addition to these, there's a group of upside down numbers on the bottom left of the picture, a 4x4 grid on the bottom right of the picture (with a mysterious LX59 nearby), and 27 letters floating in the sky. There may well be more codes than these, but these are the only ones that I think are meant to be seen at first glance. Good luck! |
