C4 looks rather fishy...(thanks to my wife for pointing it out immediately)

For some reason I can't get f3 and b4 to open as pictures, so I've attached the .txt files I copied from the site. My third file, c4, has already been added above.

I've been working on C1, D3, and C5. I've only decoded/converted D3 so far.

All of my attempts at trying to make the pictures fail.

I've been able to decode/convert page C5.

I would recommend just copying all of page 1, deleting the top and bottom text not related to the code, then put it into this site:

http://www.motobit.com/util/base64-decoder-encoder.asp
Scroll down, paste it into the box, choose decode, then choose export to binary file. Name the file name.jpg. Open the pic, you'll see a big chunk of the pic. That way you can tell which pic it is, but since a lot are duplicates it saves you the rest of the work.

I finally was able to decode/convert page C1, but it appears to be the same as B2.

Thanks, jabroni!

B4 is the same as C4 (the vertical fish made out of displaced lily pads)
F3 is the same as D3 (the honeycomb-like picture of who knows what)

I think I see the solution to D3/F3.

I believe the one with the cards and dice is a solitaire cipher, but I've never really understood those well enough to come up with the same answer as the creator.

If it helps anybody else, The values for the cards as laid out are:

10,37,7,28,50,1,3,30,31,32,33,9,25,
20,38,29,23,4,11,53,47,39,12,22,24,15,
21,18,26,13,43,36,8,5,27,42,46,6,52,16,
17,40,51,19,14,35,41,2,34,45,48,49,44,54

Whether that's the starting or ending deck, I don't know, but the base 9 numbers in the middle should be the message and the bottom, smaller group, would be the keyphrase, I think.

The Base 9 numbers, converted to decimal are:

11,2,74,1,
47,2,64,64,19,
64,37,2,2,46,1,
29,5,11,37,65,5,
56,37,37,4,3,37,
8,65,73,5,46,56,
28,4,37,1,20,
64,47,20,1,74,1,
3,29,20,56,2,56,
3,4,38,10,73,1,
29,73,38,65,64

11,1,8,20,
5,4,55,3,5,4

ETA: Was trying to get started on a metapuzzle reference in case it comes to that and it seems we have a problem...
It looks like we're all getting different puzzles for a given grid reference.
Greg got 2 different versions of C6 and several other times people report different puzzles for the same grid reference.

So, maybe, we just need to answer three puzzles, each, to progress?
Or maybe we get three new ones when we solve the three we have, currently?

ETA2: Just efreshed the page and now I have 3 new pages Laughing

ETA3:
One of my new ones is a 6 pager that Idon't think anyone's posted yet and doesn't seem to want to decode correctly.
Would somebody else like to give it a try, for me?

I'M ON AN EDIT ROLL:
I suggest we refer to the puzzles, not by their grid reference, but by the last 4 characters seen on the "TOP" page:
Such as:
zNNe Orbits
zUeB Picaso
21K8 Shark
/gz3
qDJi

I finally got them to work, thanks to the guidance of squid808.

I have the solitaire, braille, and evolution pages.

Speaking of which, how did a 27 page output from the cube turn into the same page provided with 4 pages of output? We should press B to get us the full 27 pages so we can perhaps get every single puzzle indexed.

ETA: Never mind, I'm just a retard. I forgot that there are more lines and more characters per line for the console than the dot matrix printer.

I've got page B1, B2, and B5.

B1

Got mine to decode. I must have missed part of the first page on the original try.
It's yet another copy of "Orbits" (qDJi).
But that signature doesn't match other peoples. Getting kinda lost, now.

ETA: Adding my other ~~two.~~ all I could find.

Are these five the only ones? Which have I missed?
