Case sensitivity?

Abstract and Cassie have

rdowns and iBookG4user have

Peace and brad.c have

Here's more to support this:

Jack Flash has

iBlue and Gelfin have

I think we got it, Third letter of username, although, I don't know how that relates to 1.
 
Quoting Doctor Q about rule P:

"Abstract identified much of the mapping, but didn't explain how it applied outside March and April."

OK I checked and the key given by Abstract for March also works for earlier months, ie the day of the month is the key.

As for "_____ in the forums, _____ last active", er I'm working on it.... :cool:
 
True, but unless we are "special" and have had it done manually its not done on that because its not on my profile - hell its barely on my website.

Can I be right in guessing that you have a Mac Pro?:apple:

I assure you that you have something in common :)

Do you have a macbook as well?:apple:

Edit: I thought that it may have had something to do with the names of the computers that you have in your sig or profile, but now that my Rule "R" just changed for the third time (which also happens to be the third time I have posted in this thread) I now have the macbook_air.gif and a light blue flag for my Rule "R". I previously had a red flag as my Rule "R" which was called mac_pro.gif and also had a dark blue flag for Rule "R" which was called macbook.gif. I have both of those computers, but I do not have a MacBook Air mentioned anywhere in my profile.

This is all very confusing. But I like it. :apple:
 
Well now, isn't this interesting....

This is what mine was for about 2 seconds....

Figure THIS ONE out Dr. Q. (see attached)

lol:apple:

Edit: No Photoshop involved here. Just to rule that one out.:apple:

I also have the same Flag, and the third letter of my username is "l" as well.:apple:

Nobody has figured out the rule name. Clue: It has the form
_____ in the forums, _____ last active​
(The number of _ characters doesn't indicate the length of the word.) Clue: I purposely used both words in posts in this thread.

Presence in the forums, day last active?
 
...of the emergency testing system.:apple:

So it is confirmed, it5five, you have a Canadian flag, just as 345dilbert4life has, because of the 3rd letter of your username. I think that it is safe to say that Rule "1" has been solved. Now to figure out it's name.:apple:

That's easy, since you were into the code earlier ... you simply replaced the flag icon with the :apple: icon, saved, and took a screenshot.

Man, I thought it would take longer than that. Oh well. Fun while it lasted.:apple:

I'll go for P = "Posters in the forum, date last active"
 
What about SLC Flyfishing View attachment 165329

^ Well it doesn't work in all cases. ;)

It does work in all cases. SLC Flyfishing has a "C" where the others have a "c" :apple:


That's 1 silly idea. I for 1 think you can do better.

I don't think it is a silly idea. My guess is that you have 62 possibilities for rule 1 and "Rule 1 = 1+2=3 rd letter in username.":apple:

Those forum users at pcrumors.com are almost finished solving the puzzle, but I expect our macrumors.com forum users to beat them to the wire. And all before I'm back to check on you again

umm - pcrumors.com redirects to macrumors.com. So who are you refering to?:apple:
 
Just noticed that my Rule P icon and Rule R flag have changed from last night to this morning.

EDIT: And again to light blue with this post.
