The Master Theorom - Crayola Madness

I'm feeling really dumb on this. 1450+ people have solved it but not me :(

Someone please give me a hint. Here's where I am so far:

The six crayons have RGB color codes of 3BB08F, 80DAEB, etc (from this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Crayola_crayon_colors)). I've tried splitting those up into 18 decimal numbers (59, 176, 143, 128, 218, 235, etc) and mapping those the alphabet and/or ascii codes.

Am I on the right track?

You started off good, but you're getting cold now. If I say any more, you might as well use the hint options yourself.

The third hint gives it completely away, which kinda sucks.

Ok, I got it.

I was trying to conserve points by not using the hints. But you can logoff, come in as a new user, use all the hints, and then go back to your logged on ID to solve without any penalty.

Probably how the others did it. Or maybe I was correct about being dumb. :dubious:

Naw, it made no sense as a puzzle, really. Why in the world would you do what was in hint 3, and not do it some other way?

I agree. A very poor puzzle - somewhat arbitrary.
