Arrogant Bastard's BASTARD Month Riddle Contest

[Joanna]

I tried it both ways didn't get anything that made sense, tried binary too with no joy so far!

[Donna]

I tried that, are you using red lights as dashes?

No Red as dots.

[Spacechild399]

I still can't get that to work.

[Spacechild399]

What if it's the joke that has to be in context?

[Donna]

And why is 'Reys' spelt that way???

[Spacechild399]

I know. I tried googling that but didn't get it. I also tried to find what "reys" was in Aztec language, but it didn't work.

no, if you look...google "rey" i came up with this quote ?A patient person is better than a soldier, and it is better to win control over yourself than win control of whole cities.? its from proverbs 16.32 which is about self CONtrol

Reys, or rey I"m pretty sure means "King" in spanish. Aztec counting was done in base 20 - but this knowledge hasn't helped me yet.

[Spacechild399]

who said that the quote about control?

EDIT: Never mind, just saw the Bible reference.

[Spacechild399]

The quote does fit in because you have to be patient to go through that many lights. Also, if "Rey" means "King", the joke now makes sense, but has to be a clue, as it is a bit random.

[_becca_]

maybe its a coincidence?

[Spacechild399]

"To keep the U/V "Kings" off of them."

Maybe it doesn't make sense, after all!

[Joanna]

None of it is making any sense to me at all!

[Spacechild399]

Why in the first row of lights are there 11 lights, and in the next 3 rows, 10? It doesn't make sense either!!

[Joanna]

I've racked my brain for the significance of the odd number of lights, no idea at all!
