I've been working on this one for a long while and have yet to work it out. I'm too stubborn to use a hint just yet as I have not completely flattened my head on one side yet from pounding it on the desk....... Obviously we can'tlook for help here, rather, seek comfort among the other people that have been driven insane by M and puzzles like this!

More to come....

Circles have one side. At least in this context.

How many sides does a circle have?! Infinity?! How does that work here?

I'm so lost. I have a bunch of numbers for each row and have no clue what to do with them. Help please?

Here’s a helpful hint that will save you hours: assume the puzzle is in black and white. For an intro text so heavily laden with references to artistry, colour, and design it is exceptionally frustrating when those same elements of the puzzle are not incorporated into solving it.

This one was HARD for me. Needed all 3 hints (she says, ashamed). Here is what I needed to figure out; the full colour squares = 0 and you’re not adding the four main squares up, you’re creating a 4-digit number.

Once I got BASE as a clue, I got it. Wait, how do I know what base to use... oh I see


I found this one of the easier ones, but that just shows people find different things easy. I've struggled with many of these.


I think part of what makes this hard is there's extra artistic liberty -- like colors and number of shapes, which don't matter at all. But I also love how colorful the puzzle is. It makes a neat poster for example

The hints really helped :) I clicked to translate one just to see what would happen - now my account is marred with the blemish of "using a hint" forevermore haha

Well, it certainly made a difference to actually learn something about how to work a little with bases other than binary and base ten. If nothing else, I've learned the first thing about that. I recognized early on that the number of sides in the "key" seemed significant. For some reason, I thought it would be something different in the large tiles. Well, thank you to the first sentence of hint #2 for getting me there!

Several days later, and I'm still just making observations about the puzzle. None of the things I've noted have leapt out at me as the way to move forward, yet. I would really like to not have to look at a hint.

Right. At first glance, my impression is that this may take some time for me.

All right, I needed two hints to understand the basis of this one. Once I got to first base with it, I figured out what counts.
