Yesterday I set you a puzzle about a khipu’, the Incan method of recording numbers with knots on string that features in Paddington in Peru .
Incans used khipus to record dates, taxes and measurements, among other things.
Knowledge of how khipsus represented numbers was lost after the Spanish conquest.
Today ’s puzzle asked you you to repeat his decipherment.
Here it is again with the answer.
