That is not really helpful, especialy since that is what the in-game hints says.

How about in the shaded red part in the in-game hint is supposed to be "what"? An number?

Oh, sorry I never read the hint!
Perhaps try turning it sideways!

Clue:It's a word, not an actual number
Answer: The answer is 9

Why would the hints mark a letter and then the space between the letters? That's more confusing than helpful, if you ask me. Didn't like this puzzle at all.

I had lots of trouble with this one too. Simply didn't make any sense to me even with all the hints. Imo there's cryptic & then there's vague outlines that aren't familiar at all unless you've seen that kind of stuff before (which I haven't). Could do with an 'example' system

This puzzle is interesting. I saw the answer immediately, but I hear a lot of people having trouble with it. Did anyone else find this puzzle rather easy?

I over-analyzed it. I was thinking the length and order of the squiggles was some sort of code, rather than just being an outline.

I actually thought that the position of the blank spaces on the broken squiggles had someting to do with the position of the numbers on the keyboard...

Took me a while to get this one myself, but once I saw the shading hint I got it.

This was the one I expect the iPad/iPhone users will likely get easier. There aree things you'd do to make things easier to visualize on a portable hand held with no moving parts.

Were you presented with the puzzle as a single thing or with the dialogue that preceeds it?

The woman saying it was a code really led me astray.

I was staring at it for a few minutes before I got it, but I never used a hint!

Yup, also, thought about it as code.
Even after using full hints I got it wrong twice, since only then did I found out the red stuff was supposed to form a "N".

I really liked this puzzle. My favourite so far. Makes you think in the obvious ways (coding, binary, etc.) before cottoning on to the correct answer and then being sure you're correct. That is the signature of a good puzzle that is - knowing you're correct when you've got it.
