Ok....all I'm doing is losing points right now because I can't type in the answer the correct way....I'm on question 8 about the four triangles out of 6 matches...I know the answer but not how to answer....HELP!
NM....I'm retarded...LoL

Yes, that one was tricky because it had two valid answers. But like you noticed the less scientifically one was only accepted.
Well, I hope someone has some new inspiring ideas for 51.
Found the picture too, and had some ideas what the tiles represent, but so far nothing came out of that. The big mystery to me what the pips means.
Anyone who is working on 51 too, I would love to share ideas and thoughts by pm.
If anyone remembers this level, I'd appreciate any and all help....completely lost. It's the level with the
Keyboard Keys, button with the number 322 (mine anyway) followed by a string of numbers, and a button that says Beginning followed by more numbers and symbols
Dream like you'll live forever; Live like you'll die tomorrow
The number 322 tells you how to split it the string of numbers. Note the spaces, they are there for a reason and they are important. Each number you get will stand for one letter. Also the text is there for a reason.
Lastly apply the instruction on the bottom to the numbers.
I hope this helps, but feel free to pm me your numbers and instructions if you need a bit more help.
I suspect that it could be morse code, and my suspicion is further strenghtened by the fact that there are at most 4 tiles in any line.
I also suspect that it could more likely be binary/hexadecimal. This is further strengthened by the fact there are only red and blue, and that all the lines start with a blue tile, and only have 4 tiles, giving 16 possible combinations. This would make the blue tile 1, and the red 0, since you can remove all 0's from a binary number, which would explain why the lines all start out with a blue tile. Furthermore there are 14 lines, consisting of all hexadecimal numbers (if you translate them as being hexadecimal), except 0 and F, or one red tile and 4 blue tiles.
I have yet no idea what the pips could mean though. Originally I thought that you would have to figure out a value to each line, and then combine them two and two, like combining the two lines with the 1 pip, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Morse doesn't seem to work though. Whether blue is a dash or dot, you always have some tile combination that isn't part of the morse code. Taking in mind that blue can be sometimes a dot and sometimes a dash, didn't work out either.
Binary seems to be more plausible. Like you already pointed out the tile-groups start with a blue tile, and the only possibility that is left out is blue-blue-blue-blue, which is 1111 = 15.
So if it's binary and you all convert them to base 10, you get the numbers 1-14. And there are 14 tile different combinations.
If we had 14 something (like a sentence of pic's name of 14 letters) we likely would have to arrange them according the binary.
As far for the pips I am still clueless to.
Btw if you use Caesar's cipher for the tile of the small blue picture, you get idol but I think this is just coincidence. I wonder if this blurry picture is of any importance or not.
Edit: The only more or less good idea I had for the pips is
Four pips on first block = 14 = N
Five pips on first block = 15 = O
One pip on second block = 21 = U
Thought also about adding the value of the pips to the value of the blocks-sequence they are part of, but this seems not the right track.
I'm thinking that since there is only pips 1, 4 and 5, that maybe, depending on whether they're on a red or blue tile, you need to use the number on the opposite side of the dice. For example, a 1 on a blue tile could mean to use the 6 pip instead.
This might correspond with my other idea, and your idea about the ranking list, that we may need a list of 16 words, perhaps put them in the order that the tiles are in on the picture, and the pips tell us which letter to use from that list.

This is a nice thought.
Since we indeed only have 1, 4, 5 pips, and there reversed sides are 2,3 and 6, your thought could be true or a lead.

I think you mean 14 letters?
That's what's bugging me...
All we know for sure it's binary. It's a fact that converting the binary gives us the numbers 1-14, but we can't say for sure this is the way. When we use simple number letter conversion, we end up with 14 letters, and even if the pips should give us some other letters it not very likely is it will give us, after anagramming, a proper word or sentence.
Perhaps we should pair them up after all. Meaning: to make seven 8-digits binary strings.
As far for the ranking list idea, it's false. I asked the creators if the ranking list was involved with Q51, and this was their reply
No, the 'eye' picture has nothing to do with the question.
All you need is in the 'a' picture.
