    Ok, that's a cry for answers:
    * How many spheres are in the diagram?
    * Using Interleaved 2 of 5 encoding, what does the bar code on the white sphere on the left read?
    * Considering red-hued spheres (red, purple, orange, black) as a '1' and those without as a '0', what number does each line represent in decimal form? (In binary, each line reads '0101010', or '42' in decimal form.)
    * What number do the blue-tinted spheres (blue, green, purple, black) spell out? (Similar to a color blindness test.)
    * What position in the grid does Earth occupy?
    * What number is represented by Roman numerals spelled out by the yellow-tinted spheres (yellow, orange, green, black) in the first three rows? (XLII / 50-10+2)
    * What is the absolute value of the degree of longitude the Earth is centered on? (It seems to be centered on Latitude 0° and Longitude 42°W)
    * What is the number of green spheres multiplied by the number of blue spheres? (This is of course 6 × 9, the joke question from the second novel).

    The puzzle was originally concocted by Douglas Adams for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

    #49 is more messy than some others.

    Area 51 - a very secret place in Nevada, where they definitely don't make UFOs like Aurora.

    It's a B-53 bomber. I certainly wouldn't want to be against it when it's in action!

    Oh did I have to answer that it was a B-53 or whatever, it seemed quite obvious :P Sorry anyway.

    Another easy one, what does this flag have to do with the number 58?

    The flag is that of Venezuela, and the international phone code for Venezuela is 58.

    Heh, that's not hard, messier space object #61. I posted #49 earlier :P



    Yes, I googled it (I'm not a weapons fanatic)

    Edit to add, and then again to fix image.

    MrB reckons it's 68 perforations per foot of film length :huh:
    Vanya's pic is actually the symbol for the Zodiac sign of Cancer.

    Nope, more technical. But you're hot by thinking it's got something to do with the film.
    Also, note how it's not very colourful.


    As I have a cryptic one in progress, here's one that goes back to the basics.

    *sigh* the Messier Astronomical objects have been done to their death, that's the third I think we've had now.

    In response to my pic, Black and White film is best to be developed at 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

    And an easier link here:
