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.

Put an end to popups!

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.
