Along with the scan, you should send what flag definitions we have in the roster, and see if they can verify the accuracy of what meanings we have so far, in case there's no one system and the last five flags are scattered across sets.

Donxkey,
Since there's no obvious instruction or question on the card, along with a scan, it might also be a good idea to explain to them that this is a *puzzle* and we're supposed to get some kind of message from it. This might save a step because what they get from it might not make sense to them, and they might just say "it's gibberish", without any explanation. Hopefully, they'll be able to identify *every* flag. Razz

Good luck! Wink

I feel bad now. I could have saved your solves. I'd tried that particular ship in both forms, but not because of any clever logic. I'd bought a speciality beer and the picture was very similar. I guess we've already had one clue which suggests we've got to think of some link between the codes, to arrive at an answer that doesn't need any code work, hence my try which I then thought was too stupid to share.

going with the turning the two flags for K+H to get V + I then sureley this would mean that the white red square with a cut out would be

H -with a cut out makeing a K?

only an idea so don't shoot me for it Smile

Just found this and I think it may be something to do with it. plz read

broadside doesn't just mean the side of the ship

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadside

ok probably already posted somewhere but as I said if this was an equation could it be the firing capasity?

also on the note of dropping flags on there side could explain the white red quartered flag that could be the one hinting to turn the flag round 90 degrees after decpiher.

Also note there are flags on the wikipedia link to hms victory but the imagae resolution is so bad you can't read the txt.
