I was over-complicating it a bit...use the same method twice, and it'll be easier for you.
16th place, and that pushed me up over 10k points. Alright!
[edit] you're right, [7], I meant same information twice
But really, the trick is to simply not over-complicate it - there is a lot of stuff going on that is simply unnecessary (although it is possible to use it)
Argh, I hate when you're off by a letter and let a couple of people slip by you as you correct it. My first top 30 showing up as late as I did however. Yay!
[14] And noticed [7]'s comment? There are two main uses for the information he refered to, and this puzzle uses both of them. Although, if you used only the main method, you could still get the answer. Just not as easily.

[4] Read all of them. They have useful information- well, some of them do.
It is actually straightforward once you do that.

[6] Same method twice? I think you mean the same information twice- two different ways.

Congrats [6], now come back and help the rest of us lost souls.

Any hints for those of us still lost?

[12] Do the people who are lost know what the symbols are (generally speaking)?

Put them in order. Then do what you do with almost all these puzzles. (That's not all you have to do, but it's a good start.)

OK! My first hard puzzle completion. I didn't use anything other than figuring out the signs. Must be because I have a Ph.D. (salt)

Huh? It's about seven or eight hours before the new hard puzzle goes up and I'm the 58th solver? Did everyone go on vacation or something?

If you couldn't solve it, you weren't meant to.
