Gyro Lattice 4 - Significant Constants (Posted on 2008-08-14)

Please reflect upon "Gyro-Lattice 1 - Arrows" at pid=6061.

The rotations available are: - [V] vertical [red] - [H] horizontal [magenta] - [R] right-down diagonal [green] - [L] left-down diagonal [salmon]

A mathematical constant of significance has been entered into the top row of the LED display of the lattice and another in the lower row.

They have been scrambled using all four of the rotational operations in the following manner:
1. Starting at A, a rotation was applied after which a different operation was applied from B. A third operation was applied from C and the fourth from D. This same order was followed for the remaining letters.
2. With "O" as your reference the links demonstrate how the cell contents will be manipulated:

H V R L
			O

4	1	2	8	2	8	2	9	5
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G
1	1	2	7	1	6	3	8	5

When unscrambled (off-screen) you will need to make a rather small finishing touch.

This position was arrived at by a series of transitions beginning from the left and so we need to begin by starting at the right to reverse those. 4 1 2 8 2 8 2 9 5 A B C D E F G 1 1 2 7 1 6 3 8 5 Replacing the series A-G with "V L R H V L R" and performing the operation defined for that letter we arrive at: 3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 5 V L R H V L R 2 7 1 8 2 8 1 8 2 The two numbers represent first few digits for the constants "pi" and "e". The solution is complete with the inclusion of the decimal point in both numbers.
