    Yes. "EASY?"
    Just checking that we aren't skipping basics

    "And there will be strange events in the skies--signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28

Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

    Some more of it if it will help.

    EDIT: ignore the first line as it isn't really a word (still valid letters though), what was I thinking?

    Also, to clear up my hint a little. The "vertices" are only the 3 in the central triangle. The other 3 were just guides to keep the second (light) vectors straight.

    Sorry, didn't mean to bog down the competition. Here is the first line of the key. There are 5 other lines differentiated by the second (light) set of vectors from each vertice. These vectors follow the same ordering as the first (dark) set. Blue-> Blue+Green-> Blue+Green+Red-> Green+Red-> Red.

    The first (dark) set remain constant throughout each column. That should make it relatively simple if I explained things correctly. If no one has solved it in an hour I'll post the entire key so we can get on with the game.

    Yes, you're correct Chowlett.

    I meant to have that first line of the second set say 'more', just wasn't thinking clearly I suppose.

    Any ideas on mine? I should say that there are no spaces or punctuation marks encoded, nor does the code allow for them.

    Well, grouping into 2 numbers results in numbers between 1-40 which seems promising, but still too big for alphabet.
    Grouping by 4 results in statistically even better figures of 105-3016, but makes even less sense.

    Ignorance - good call on the groupings - both of them

    I'm away all next week (until the 22nd), so I implicity ackowledge the correctness of any correct answers given (identifiable by the fact they make sense). If it goes on too long, just ignore it temporarily and I'll post more clues when I get back.
