 		I'm fairly certain the symbols beneath each piece are relevant to the position on the grid.

We need to figure out the dimensions of the QR image we're trying to solve, in order to know once we have every have every piece. Each piece appears to be 7x7 pixels.


I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's a simple 21x21 QR code (which would mean there are a total of 9 pieces) as it's the only known dimension of QR code divisible by 7.

Once we know for certain when we have all the pieces, we can begin decoding the symbols in order to figure out placement.

There are more than likely only 6 unique pieces, with 3 of the corners being
squares. That's not to say, however, that each of the 3 corners have the same symbols.

I'm going to compile an illustration of all of the pieces we have so far, along with their symbols.

-Cheers!

EDIT: Woops! Should've looked through the other pages first to see that the symbols stood for Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc... Seems a bit odd that Alpha has two squares, when three are required. I'll continue transcribing the codes regardless!

Nothing strange about it, the QR is a 7x7 grid, if alpha is the top row, then 2x squares make sense. Golf-1 has the 3rd square of the QR

 		Be sure to check back at the current state of the QR layout:

They're slowly trickling in...

I'm in the midwest and got my badge. Try tomorrow?

Makes sense. I've never seen a 49x49 QR code before, though.

I have something very similar, except I included the timings and basic QR stuff.

Impressive, and admittedly much better than mine.

Hehe, I suppose I should start looking into what's already been accomplished more often before I accidentally do things unnecessarily.

Never hurts to verify efforts Wink I've got the same QR in a text version on the wiki page. Always good to double check against others' work, especially something as visibly complex as this.

 		Im not sure if everyone missed it or not, but the last circle on the right is morse code for individual letters. Without error.

I listed the letters Ive seen so far in my other post.

Yeah. So far treating them as symbols denoting a column is working, since in doing so the so far incomplete QR code is keeping with the specifications for a valid code.

Agreed, so long as the "symbols" (morse letters) are already in correct sequence, whats the difference?

Well, the letters are not A B C D E F G

 		I got bravo dash. Stupid midwest.

Still got my badge though. And Swerve isn't half bad.

The symbols represent numbers.

.=1
..=2
...=3
....=4
-=5
.-=6
.-.=7

The end.
