Hints: Colors
Getting started:
Focus on the hex codes of the colors in each image. It might be useful to write the hex characters in a 6x6 grid. Each image can be treated separately at this point.
Subpuzzle hints:
- 1: This subpuzzle is based on a popular puzzle game that comes with Windows operating systems.
- 2: Each cell is related to the two cells above it.
- 3: Each row can be treated separately. Does 2,3,5,7,... or “14159” sound familiar?
- 4: Try reading down columns
- 5: Unlike the other subpuzzles, this one actually represents real colors. Further hint: The colors are specifically Pantone colors.
- 6: This one represents a common logic puzzle type.
Stuck on extraction:
The positions of the replaced characters within the 6x6 grids are important. In particular, they are all distinct.
Further hint:
The answers to the clues are X11 web colors.
