1st take: I find it interesting that I know what factors are needed. But will I select the correct components to achieve the correct, desired result?

Fortunately even with this printing error, getting PACH_CUTI makes it intuitively easy to solve, especially given you have ESTATE FOR in the ropes above.

If you create a puzzle based on color, you need to make sure the colors are printed correctly. This puzzle was impossible as printed.

Starting with the sixth rope, we're given 5 beige knots = E, beige = 1.
Moving to the ninth rope, 3 beige + 3 red = R (18). If beige = 1, then red = 5.
To the second rope, 5 beige + 1 red = 10, and we need to get to 19 (S), so blue = 3.
Now we can solve for green and yellow by moving to the fifth rope.
Given blue = 3 and red = 5, we have 19. We need to get to 20 (T). With 6 yellow knots and 2 green knots, we need to solve 6y+2g=1. If yellow = 0.5 and green = -1, then 6(0.5)+2(-1)=1 checks out.

I cannot figure out how to solve for yellow or green.

Yes, it was because the second to last knot is not pure white (-2), but beige and white entwined (-1). It is very difficult to distinguish in the image provided.

Did anyone else have difficulty with the 5th letter in the clue which leads to the answer? I did this with my wife and we both got 0. I feel like the key was wrong?

When did you buy the book? I have the older version, where the colors are definitely a little hard to differentiate, but a friend has a newer copy where it seems to be fixed.

I agree that the colors are poorly rendered and are unreasonably hard to discern. I have determined the value for each color, and applied it to the lower row, but the answer makes no sense and is apparently incorrect, probably because I am misperceiving one or more colors.

It's White and Tan. I also strugged with this one knot. Terrible color rendering.

What is the color of knot located in the bottom Quipu, 5th strand, 7th down? I looked at the solution and am struggling with the value assigned to this one.

I liked this one. It was hard for me to see/interpret the differences in the colors sometimes, though, which made it take longer than it would have if the colors had been really clear. Confused for a bit by the number of red lines, until I got a little history lesson from google.
