I've been puzzling over why there are two figures in the last square, and the only case I've seen something like that is in trying to fit the alphabet in a square, like

A B C D E
F G H I J
K L M N O
P Q R S T
U V W X Y/Z

Therefore it is possible we should be looking for some 1-1 matching with letters of the alphabet.

chippy

tried jbds suggestion, and rot-3 got "high pe i jiphsigh" i think its scrambling when it comes across the (2nd row, 3rd across) one armed one
"highpeiyiphsigh" also and intriging "msneyeseekne" with ROt-9!!

Cool idea -- how does it work when some of the images are doubled?

Hi all. Been lurking for a while...

I think the "Goin' up a mountain" is supposed to lead us to using route transposition.
That is, how do you get a mountain? you start at the bottom and zig zag your way up.

though I 'm not sure if we are supposed to start on the bottom left or bottom right Wink

hope this helps

For what its worth: I'm almost positive the "interval" guy is either the start or stop point, and more likely the start point.

ok if it truely is going up a mountain on the puzzle then it is notable that the "false" flaggers make an upside down T in the frame which could indeed be the mountain to climb starting at the 2 person or the bottom left

Two other alphabet square possibilities are:
E->F O->P Z
D G N Q Y
C H M R X
B I L S W
A J->K T->U/V
(using the idea of the "semaphore start position" being the start)

or

A B C D E
Q R S T F
P Y Z U G
O X W V H
N M L K I/J

I and J tend to be the two letters smashed together in alphabet squares. See, for example, the Playfair cipher:
http://www.techtricks.com/paradox/playfair.php
this version was an attempt to achieve that effect.

Both of them give an impression of "climbing a mountain" in the order of the alphabet.

ooo maybe this means we gotta flip the signals first, then do the alphabet square / zig zag etc
