Advent Calendar : Day 12

Recommended Posts

My word yesterday's was such a doozy wasn't it? (I have no real way of knowing since I have to write these in advance.) But hopefully you caught on. So what is today going to be you might be asking?  Pigpen? I mean I could. I do enjoy a pigpen that I learned when I was a kid from my 'big book of codes and cyphers' but I feel that a lot of you might not get it. Generally you draw a ⌗  and each square represents a letter, than you draw an X  and proceed, then ⌗ but a dot in section, and then the X with a dot in the section. The one I grew up with was just ⌗  with no, 1, and 2 dots in each section the which turned out to be more of a phone code. since the ┘ would hold A, B, and C.  .... But we're not doing that, Red hearing~ omg...

 

So what is todays puzzle?

 

It's a rather simple one really, just sudoku. 

 

You know the classic game where each box, column, and row requires a unique number.

Oh you thought the 3 by 3, 1-9 sudoku? Nah, we are upping it to the hex version. 

 

You just really need to the red squares, from top to bottom. But you will need to convert it to decimal. Each Box is it's own 4 digit number. Add them together. If you had just took all the digits and converted to decimal, you would end up with 1,176,408,053,897,580,429  and that would have looked like 1Q176q408t053b897m580k429. and no offense to you bright jellies, but trying to get you to do a capital Q for quint would have been a bit too complex for me. 

 

Feel free to complete the puzzle.

 

Good Luck Everyone.

So... fun fact, I had the wrong Expiration date, the code is correct and so is the puzzle, I just have to remember to add 2 days to the expiration date, which I did not. So That's fixed. I increased the expiration for this puzzle to 2024-12-15, and added a jellybean, sorry for the inconvenience, this is why It's helps when you guys post here, so I know when there is a problem.
