      Hoju, I don't get it - translate what columns individually? I only see one column that can be translated - the Mayan symbols. And then what - I'm assuming that the rocks represent 1 and 0, but what position, and how do you input 16 with only 2 rocks?

        In Mayan writing, the dot=1, bar=5, and 20 is represented by a football-shaped symbol (American football, that is). Therefore, that top number is 13, not 32 (2 bars = 2x5 = 10; 3 dots = 3x1 = 3; 10+3 = 13).

        So, if we add all the numbers up, we get 44. Or, if we use the Mayan base-20 system, we get 44,225,641. Can anybody do anything with this?

        football/basket symbol means zero.

        A 20 is represented by a lone dot.

        My answer still stands as correct.

        The left column and right column need to be translated from a binary number to a decimal number

        solve the color puzzle (light them all up). from there, simply transpose each column into its decimal representation

            I gave the hint earlier... read the older posts

            What rocks solve the puzzle? I gave the answer earlier and won't give it again. However, I will comment on your answer.

                  post your solution to the rock puzzle (light them all up) and we will take it from there.

                  You are going to have to look ahead a little more than that. If you start there, you will be stuck in three moves or so. There is another place to start.

                  Note: you can go in any direction so long as you do not repeat a slot and you follow the pattern of the jigsaw pieces in a <PWD#2> direction

                  I'm out. All the answers have been posted. You just need to go back and look.

                      In trying to figure out the binary are does it refer to the numbers in the columns. does the left column refer to all odd numbers and the right even and once you have found the binary and converted it, do you just click on those rocks once you have all the colours lit???

                                no just the four given you have the sequence right, and you can have more than 1 symbol in each line, i think you end on the same as you started, and dont press the button at the end, it takes a few seconds to react if you have it right.
