Braille for puzzle 1?

Top row: 651r
Bottom row: c5

Hmm, intrigued!

So this is just a beginning and no real solve, but maybe someone can make something out of that:

[thebruce]

I managed to solve two earlier, and submitted a third but didn't hear back.

I'm pretty sure it was #3 and #5 I solved, and while I was told my answers were both correct, only the response to #3 said I was the first to correctly solve it. Looks like they're manually responding to answer submissions, and not being clear as to which are solved

Anyway, here's what I've got... (hints for now)
#3: bottom center (told I was first to solve)
it's a very well known code...

#5: upper left (told I solved correctly)
find what the symbol represents. The rest should be more easily deducible after that (don't know what that inverse T symbol means, but it's not really relevant once you know how to solve)

#1: upper right (got no response to my submissions)
I got as far as enaxor & beastriker did with the braille. I thought it would be FEAR ME, so submitted that, and also tried sending just my analysis of it too.
The glyphs are hieroglyphs, symbols G45 and A2, which means, appropriately, FEAR. That's what makes me think it should be ME in braille as well. But there's no grid reference for the dots, so it maybe it's 35? Don't know...

Haven't solved these ones...

#2: lower right
The symbol in the center I figure is for the zodiac, or astrology. The runes are Futhark, and the image above is what I've got. I've been trying to connect runes to constellations (there are 12, and there are 12 runes surrounding the symbol), but haven't got anywhere. Can't find any actual official connection, just theoretical rune/constellation connections. Stumped on that one as of now...

#4: lower left
Zero idea. Been trying to find out what the central symbol is, to give a hint as to what to do with the rest...


The responses to my submissions -
puzzle #3

[JenniPowell]

I received an e-mail saying I was the first to solve puzzle 1 but also got a bounceback. *frustrated*

EDIT: Seems they can't fix the bounceback problem but are aware of it now. Puzzle solvers are being contacted by a Jamie Nash...so keep an eye out.

[celina63]

Ah... so that's why the back of Michael's disk said "Rewards like this await the first five." Has to be the first 5 correct solves.

Now, what does "Simple symbols await a score." mean?

[JenniPowell]

Looks like a couple of us on here were firsts so between us, we'll be able to share whatever is sent. Not sure if it'll be more to do with the game or just movie swag...I'm hoping for more game.

If I were to say yes, would that be a spoiler?
If I were to say no, would I be lying?
I will say neither

[catherwood]

is the website telling you when you've entered the correct solution? I'm not getting any message other than "Your answer has been submitted." and I'm not getting any emails at all. Yet, I swear I have a few of these correctly figured out.

By my reckoning, here is where we stand, going clockwise:
#1: upper right (JenniPowell solved it first)
#2: lower right (no one has solved this yet?)
#3: bottom center (theBruce solved it first)
#4: lower left (no one has solved this yet?)
#5: upper left (theBruce got it right)

And I also think I have answers for three of these {1,3,5} and have submitted two-word phrases for each, yet I get no confirmation that I'm right. I could very well have guessed #4 correctly but might never know it! Are we being secretive about our answers until the first five people are rewarded for each one? I'm happy to compare notes, offline if necessary.

People thanks for posts think.

[MickeyG42]

Guess I shouldnt have posted an answer on ARGN lol no prize for me.

[holdthedots]

The only one that i could figure out on the left side were the roman numerals,
The other symbols I could even find through google especialy the bottom left
IIII and V or bent U at the bottom left what is the clue? Help I want the surprise please. Thanks.

[thebruce]

I don't know if there's an automated system to determine if a submission is correct, but my guess is they're manually reviewing and replying to submissions if they have the correct answer. Don't yet know if it's one prize per puzzle or if more than just the first solver gets mail.

My correct submissions were just the phrases in the box and nothing else.
After my followup email bounced though, I used the same form on the site to let them know, and got a [meta] reply back; so they are at least reading the submission emails individually as they come in.
