Yeah... I basically had it push 1, multiply a bunch of times (so as not to affect the stack) around the big blue block to get back to the beginning of the loop. That's where the majoriy of the steps come from. I could have had way fewer instructions by having only a few pushes/pops, but I figured I would make it pretty Smile It is a graphic language after all... I encourage everyone to try to write a piet program, it's wonderfully mindbending.

At this point im here to troll, im not gonna deny it. I tried to be part of this and people just shit on me. ... Whatever. Ill let the other trolls use my names however they want. Honestly I might have used a real account if Keers wasnt around. I did use an account for other games, but the Perplex crowd is kinda snobbish in general. There are plenty of other good folks playing, but people like Keers, and Ducky who dont wanna hear ideas they want followers. Either you follow their crowd and do what they do or you arent a cool kid.


You know, before I read this, I had no idea who keers or .X_x. were. I still don't know who either of them are, or what they've done, or why they're bickering on the puzzle boards. I'm really not a part of the politics of this game. I haven't talked with any other players except through this forum and about puzzles. But now I hate .X_x.

Anyway, congrats to doublecross! I'm just a little disappointed that I didn't get first solve, but I'm glad to at least have been part of it.

 		going off, Evil Genius's last post with the updated pic of the piet trace, the words that i came up with by rotating the card as it went around a corner are as follows:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ground, Their, Of, A, Weave, With, Never, Promise, Race, Order, Again, Drown, Forge, Again, Seek, Their, Of, The, Time, There, The, Where, Light, Precious, Canvas.


It does not make any sense to me.

 		I have just looked through all the thread did anyone actually get the text hint for this card?

 		This is starting to get to me. Ive been going over this thread over & over, and trying anything i can think of but i cant seem to convert the traces and number sequences to a coherent sentence/clue/question.
And now theres been a 2nd solver (i wonder did doublecross tell him/her), we must be soo close!

If we did, no one posted it. The thing is, though, we're so close I doubt it'd matter very much at this point.

 		Are those words based on the main trace or the 1+9 trace?

I don't suppose anyone has compiled npiet for OSX? I did, but it came out with no GIF or PNG support, and I can't find how to turn other people's GIFs into PPM files. Does anyone know what I need to do to compile it with the extra graphic support?

 		No, beglee, Doublecross did not help me, I solved it from the work already on the site.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Look at devjoe's list on 2/5/6. Then look at the colours on the card.

There is some truly formidable work being done by some of you in solving these cards. I hope I can make more of a contribution soon.

 		I am coming to the conclusion that I am too dumb for this one, even with the hints I am coming up with nothing ... and I am not too proud to beg Smile ...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I can see us how the first trace leads us to the second programme (by summing the reds to get 19, hence the programme made from 1 and 9), and from that to the list of words, but I can't relate those back to the card again. Is that first list of words correct, or is one of the later corrections more accurate?

 		Opsis can you tell us if it is the numbers,word list or both that should be looked at . (If it doesn't reveal too much)

 		I am reluctant to post a solve before Doublecross as it is to him that the credit for first place should go. The only further help I feel I can give at the moment is: -

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
A biblical reference from the words. A covenant and a sign.


If Doublecross is still reluctant to explain further and no one else posts a solve, I will reveal more in 48 hours.

Good luck!

 		That's gotta be something to do with

Noah's Ark
Edit: yep, it was.

 		Im not having much luck on this one i picked up on some of the clues but cant seem to find in relation to the words.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Is it a biblical quote we are looking for? im a bit confused as i looked at stuff to do with the arc of covenant and moses as thought the title could implicate something to do with him but am at a loss


Am i looking in the wrong direction, anyone got any help that would push me nearer to the answer or at least get me on track?
