outlands

This is how i got to it, put all numbers in a matrix...

| 1 2 3 4 5
---------------------
1| 5 16 16
|
2| 1 13 12
|
3| 20 10 7
|
4| 7 25 3 13 1
| 15
5| 8 8 2
| 15
6|
|
7| 7 9
|
8| 23
|
9| 19
|

Use standard ceasar conversion number -> letter

| 1 2 3 4 5
---------------------
1| e p p
|
2| a m l
|
3| t j g
|
4| g y c m a
| o
5| h h b
| o
6|
|
7| g i
|
8| w
|
9| s
|

odd rows: take highest number(letter)
even rows: take lowest number(letter)

Totally the wrong way apparantly, 26 and 29 dont even occur...

I am lost here now Aaaaaarrrgh

thinking make makes

5:1 8:5 7:4 1:2 20:3 -- 25:4 7:7 23:8 16:1 -- 3:4 8:5 13:2 15:5 -- 16:1 2:5 13:4 19:9 10:3 9:7 -- 1:4 12:2 7:3 15:4

5:1=5 <=> E
8:5=1.6 <=> A or B

No sense.


5:1 8:5 7:4 1:2 20:3

25:4 7:7 23:8 16:1

3:4 8:5 13:2 15:5

16:1 2:5 13:4 19:9 10:3 9:7 = Syrnia

1:4 12:2 7:3 15:4

Hm =S...

It could be hours, but i didn't saw anything strange at 16:1 =S

haha nice ridle manda, almost solved it

Hmmmm.. i think i know now what the numbers mean, now got to find the meaning of it

Clue #2:

The name of a clan with more than 10 members, should help you to solve this code....

I don't suppose if I can get an answer to if the first word is

earth

?

dream on manda is enjoying herself laughing at us I would be too, and as a side note if I wanted to put a ridiculous hard question as a contest and give a prize would I post it here?

earth - water - fire - metal - wood

The 5 elements
(clan elements)

If it does have to do with elements, is Metal considered an element?

I would think it would be:

Earth, wind, fire, liquid, and wood?

Thanks, Jester.

And the winner is: lacorp!

The coding was related to the Periodic Table of Elements.

The first number represented the element number, while the second number represented the letter within the name (5 represented the 5th letter in the name of the element)
