yeah no luck with elements, either in the order of the writing or the image, faild with:
fireairearthwateraether (aether)
fireearthairaetherwater
fireairearthwaterether (ether)
fireearthairetherwater
fireairearthwaterheart (heart)
fireearthairheartwater
fireairearthwateruniverse (universe)
fireearthairuniversewater

to those that asked, the OP gave a link to the bitcoin protocol  so as soon as you read it you knew it was double sha, and the image found was a map of the tomb of horrors, then it was quite easy and he beat me to it by tiny amount    . If only i hadn't tried tombofhorrors before Tomb of Horrors

Ah, I see guys. Thanks so much for enlightening me Alright, let's crack this baby open!

yes but you'l notice the image doesnt have them in the right order, so i'm guessing it must be key in some way, in the image #2+#3 are wrong way round and #4+#5 are wrong way round

[Kprawn]

The original set of "dice" used for D&D weren't actually manufactured as such. They were made as teacher's aids to teach about the Platonic solids, and had the sides numbered to show grade school kids how many sides that they had.

So... There is original dice and new type of dice.

Frist things first: you all are awesome!

Ive been at work, open the thread and: boom you solved it

IMHO the next step is to relate the dice to the elements, but not the classic elemtents but:

So that i obviously dices. These dices are called Platonic solids http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

Yup.  If you combine the same solid's you start getting crystal structures which is also the underlying structure for periodic elements afaik.

Ill see what I can find.

Depends.
If you look at number of faces, it's the same.
Your result comes from looking at the vertices.

It's not going to be one of the elements on the periodic table. It's going to be a combination. And then it's going to have a huge name, like HydrocloricHexadermaZolic  

This takes us to a ride all over the internet .... D&D / Mincraft / Art / Morse code.... What a ride indeed.

Very educational.

MineCraft shouldn't have been included IMO

Wasnt the last picture from D&D? Now we have dice (used in D&D and other P&P games) and OP is "asking" for elements?

What are the 5 elements in D&D?

The air elemental, earth elemental, fire elemental, and water elemental first appeared in the original Dungeons & Dragons "white box" set (1974)[1]

Paraelementals fuse two of the classic elements into a single dangerous creature.

Types of paraelementals include ice (air and water), magma (earth and fire), ooze (earth and water), and smoke (air and fire).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental_%28Dungeons_%26_Dragons%29

Hmm and even more Quasi Elementals...

darn, I never played D&D, only DSA and ones based on earthdawn...


which rule book was the D&D picture from?


Edit: got it:

"For advanced sadists & masochists"
