The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I found this puzzle on a comic website:

http://goblins.keenspot.com/tf9.html

I know that the ten symbols in the message clearly correspond to messages found on the door, and that those in turn correspond with one of two alphabets on the bottom of the door. I have also counted sixteen little black lines, which, when combined with the ten symbols, add up to 26, the number of letters in the alphabet.

Anyone have any ideas which symbols correspond to which letters? Once that is figured out, it will be a cinch to decode the message.

Beats me, but the Chris Hansen parody was epic. I unfortunately have a term paper due soon, and so could only ration 5 minutes of internet time, not enough to work on your puzzle. Good luck though!

I'm stumped!  I can't figure out this puzzle for the life of me! :(

Seriously, can you give me a hint here? -_-

I read the rest of the comic that's out so far, and it was pretty good.  I can't really pick out the parts that really made it great. :lol:

Seriously though, I need a hint here! :neutral

I need a hint too.  :lol

That's why I am here. I might be able to get it if I had hours and hours on end... which I don't. XD

I think it is like a Punnett square... but I don't have the time needed to complete the puzzle...  :blink:
