0, 5, 5, 5, 5, 2, 2, 0, 2, 2, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 5, 2, 0, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0, 2, 4, 3, 5, 6, 1, 2, 2, 0, 0, 2, 0, 3, 0, 3, 0, 1, 2, ?, ?, ?

Y'all need a hint?

[Chuck]

I've spoiled them. They want prizes.

[JDTAY]

I'll give an invisible hint then.

Hint 1: The topic name has a lot more to do with the puzzle than you'd think.

[JDTAY]

Hint 2: It has nothing to do with the decimal system.

[JDTAY]

Hint 3: I originally had 7 as every sixth number in this puzzle, but I changed it because I thought that'd make it too easy.

[ChienFou]

Do the numbers have to be numbers?, or could you have used A-F instead of 1-6? In other words are the icons significant, or is it just a pattern we're looking for? Having been completely demoralised by Chuck's problem, I'll try something different.

[JDTAY]

That's a hard question to answer. So I'll leave it unanswered.

Hint 4: Try arranging the numbers from top to bottom instead of left to right. It may not help much, but you're going to have to do it to solve the puzzle.

[Milt]

1, 2, 2 The bottom of "R"

[JDTAY]

Correct. You might want to put that in invisible tags, even though by now noone else is attempting this puzzle.

[Coyote]

Ummm...if terms 1 through 42 didn't give anyone a clue to the answer, why would you think terms 43 through 45 need to be inviso'd??

My inferiority complex is bigger than your inferiority complex.

[JDTAY]

Good point.
