A magic cube?? I'm not sure what a magic cube is, but this is something more basic. :nodder:

Re: Cryptomania
 

I figured a 3D square is a cube ;)

Does it have to do with the neigbouring numbers, i.e, each 'number' is determined by those next to it?

Re: Cryptomania
 

let's see... yes, the image is a cube, a 3D cube (although I perfectly know that "a 3d cube" is a redundancy)
Each number (yes, they are numbers) works on its own, determined only by the final result, i.e.: determined by the solution.

And I have another clue ready, but I'd like to let you think a bit about it first (sometimes too many clues spoil the fun, methinks)

I'm not too good at maths, and nevertheless I was able to solve a similar one (once I knew what I had to do, of course, after a lot of clues), so don't think of complicated / advanced methods or techniques, just apply your basic knowledge. :nodder:

Re: Cryptomania
 

Is the cube 'part of' another cube? The sides 29-26-26-26-9 and 29-30-30-30-31, as well as 9-18-2-2-15 and 15-28-12-12-31 show similar patterns to each other, but not to the rest :thinking:

How does "binary (5 bit)" work?

Re: Cryptomania
 

Examples: 29 = 11101, 9 = 01001, 18 = 10010, 2 = 00010, etc.

Re: Cryptomania
 

Just ignoring the first zeros (In Spanish we call a useless person "a zero on the left" :tongue:)

Once you convert the numbers to binary and write them "standing up" along the cube it's just a question of remembering one of the first things we learned about binary numbers and computers: "0=off" "1=on", as Bolaf shows in his spoiler.

Now let's wait for Bolaf's next machiavelic encryption :biggrin:

Could be some sort of shift, with Amadeus/Mozart/... as the key?
