MineCraft shouldn't have been included IMO

Yes, we know. But, it's over now, so you can relax.

It's not going to be one of the elements on the periodic table. It's going to be a combination. And then it's going to have a huge name, like HydrocloricHexadermaZolic  Grin

This takes us to a ride all over the internet .... D&D / Mincraft / Art / Morse code.... What a ride indeed.

Very educational.

check

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

number of faces correspond to the numbers.

yes but you'l notice the image doesnt have them in the right order, so i'm guessing it must be key in some way, in the image #2+#3 are wrong way round and #4+#5 are wrong way round

Depends.
If you look at number of faces, it's the same.
Your result comes from looking at the vertices.

No I dont escrow anymore.
Frist things first: you all are awesome!

Ive been at work, open the thread and: boom you solved it Smiley

IMHO the next step is to relate the dice to the elements, but not the classic elemtents but:

So that i obviously dices. These dices are called Platonic solids http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

Yup.  If you combine the same solid's you start getting crystal structures which is also the underlying structure for periodic elements afaik.

Ill see what I can find.

The original set of "dice" used for D&D weren't actually manufactured as such. They were made as teacher's aids to teach about the Platonic solids, and had the sides numbered to show grade school kids how many sides that they had.

So... There is original dice and new type of dice.

yeah no luck with elements, either in the order of the writing or the image, faild with:
fireairearthwateraether (aether)
fireearthairaetherwater
fireairearthwaterether (ether)
fireearthairetherwater
fireairearthwaterheart (heart)
fireearthairheartwater
fireairearthwateruniverse (universe)
fireearthairuniversewater

to those that asked, the OP gave a link to the bitcoin protocol  so as soon as you read it you knew it was double sha, and the image found was a map of the tomb of horrors, then it was quite easy and he beat me to it by tiny amount  Cry  Cry. If only i hadn't tried tombofhorrors before Tomb of Horrors  Cheesy

do you think we have to double SHA again?
I don't think we have to double SHA. But i just might be wrong because what i'm doing certainly doesn't work

That might just be the chemical composition of the missing element?

Any Bio scientist on here?

Chemist. Nope.

Double SHA-256 of Tomb of Horrors

edit: im genius hahahahaah xD
Well done dude! How did you know that double hashing would work / help?

I still haven't understood "Bit Sha", anyone care to explain it to me?

After OP linked to the bitcoin protocol we all understood what she meant. then the question was only if it was double sha or sha+ripe-md160. Turned out to be double sha.

The thing that bugs me about the double SHA thing is that the second SHA is taken on the STRING value and not the hex value.

Same here, I am still waiting for someone to fill me in.....

I guess with Bitsha OP wanted to say something like (use the SHA that has Bitcoin..)

and bitcoin use for public address calculatung double SHA-256

so it hashes the hash Cheesy
