Is that true Ozcoins? Yes, it's true. Second to last line, last character, is a single black letter. Everywhere else the black letters travel in threes. Only the greens travel alone (other than the aforementioned black W) |

There are 7 words in the code, and cones are not very important.

You said the colors "are distantly related to the encoding method". Does that mean the colors themselves are unimportant? Instead of magenta, orange, blue, black and green, you could have used purple, brown, gray, yellow and cyan?

Would the code decode the same if the black W on line 6 were green?

I think the colours might only group relevant letters together?

That would make sense except for the two green and one stray black letters.

I missed that there were any green letters at all! I thought they were black untill I made the text bigger.
