Cydonia Hints
How do I know which symbol to select?
1 of 13: There are nine possible symbols, but only five castes. While trial and error works pretty well, there is a logical way to pick the proper symbol.
2 of 13: Let us surmise that one word could signify the name of a caste.
3 of 13: If one word will work, then one symbol will also.
4 of 13: You know the symbols associated with the nine planets. Open up your Decryption nodule to see the one word translation for each symbol. For instance, the square means matter; the oval means time etc.
5 of 13: Try to associate each caste with one of those words.
6 of 13: The Merchant might be concerned with material things.
7 of 13: The symbol for Jupiter translates to the word Matter.
8 of 13: Select the symbol for Jupiter for the Merchant door.
9 of 13: The remaining one word associations are in the next hints.
