what you posted is the representation of your uncles' riddle, right?

coudl we see the original, there might be some clues on it not covered by the representation...

also, when you've said you've tried them, what do you mean?
you asked your uncle if it was the right answer?

It's interesting he says "an integer 0-9" when the clue says "1-5". That gives us some hint in itself - you're obviously supposed to do something with the 1-5 units to give you other numbers.

I went at this a little different and assumed that all the notches were lined up in columns as well and I numbered each column 1-5.

I came up w/ two possible answers using that method.

22/14/13 or 22/15/12

Yes, still with you. just had visiting family for a few days.

I've tried the combinations and varients of the combinations you all have suggested with no luck so far.

Alright guys. heres an update. first apparently my uncle got this from someone else. here is the puzzle in its 'full form' i thought what i posted before was it, but apparently not. although i thing the difference is minute. this is the first time i have seen it in this form. previously he had sketched it out on a napkin.

The two, three, one could indicate the order of the pairs in the final number.

So... 34 32 41 for example.

There are only 5 positions the 'notches' appear in. (Aside - isn't a notch really an indentation, not extra material?) It then makes sense then to assume that the values go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, based on the notch position.

As for the greater unit value clue, this seems to me like the top numbers represent tens, and the bottom numbers represent ones.

So, here's my thoughts:

Yorith, i was really excited about this one. unfortunately 975599 didnt result in the solution either.

Thank all of you for helping! ...and I'll keep trying.
