 		I dunno, but I have been checking this thread and 3 other threads on different boards concerning the NoKNownSurvivors site and the puzzles, and it looks likie no one has figured it out yet...or at least no one has who is talking about it hehe. I have given up, everytime I even look at the code it gives me a headache and then begins to mock me in a really annoying voice.

Not really. I briefly considered counting the strokes used to draw the letters -- I imagine that the lack of curves is just part of the game scenario that I cannot see, not a clue. Unless there is some flavor text (which again i cannot see) or something else visual to give a hint, I'm afraid there just isn't enough data to work with. At least until I get a flash of inspiration...

It's tap code. You can use this to decode it:
http://www.braingle.com/brainteasers/codes/tapcode.php

As for this week's code, you need to chop the image into four columns and layer the pieces over each other to see the answer. It does require that you flip some of the pieces.

ETA - solution for this week's attached.

 		Newest puzzle is up.

ETA - got it!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Bisque, chocolate, moccasin and tomato are all named web colors:
chocolate D2691E
bisque FFE4C4
moccasin FFE4B5
tomato FF6347

Using the numbers with the words on the image as indices for letters in each corresponding hex value you get:
chocolate 3, 2 = 62
bisque 4, 5 = 4C
tomato 5, 2 = 4F
moccasin 4, 2 = 4F
tomato 3, 5 = 64

Combine those and convert hex to ascii you get:
624C4F4F64 = bLOOd

Using BLOOD as a key for Vigenere, the code then becomes:
IT REQUIRES MORE
COURAGE TO SUFFER
THAN TO DIE

Now if I could just figure out 1.3...

Since this is now officially over, I can come out from the curtain and say hi. Hi! And I thought I'd quote the above post. For fun. Idea
