I need intelligent people in here now.

It's not myst, but it's the same genre.

The solution is simple.
Flip them upside down and switch each one with the one to the left of the first, then place the top town and bottom two inside the middle, and switch top and bottom rows.

If that gibberish actually means something I'll eat my socks.

I was thinking the same thing, it's a puzzle where you have no basis of anything to go off of and a bunch of symbols that could potentially mean anything.

Did you ever get that scanned? I spent about 3 hours searching all kinds of Alchemy symbols, and found most of them... but some of them elude me. Also, they seem to be from different centuries. Assuming this is Alchemy symbols, of course. I also noticed that there are 16 symbols, yet instead of being 8 on top and 8 on bottom, it's 9 on top and 7 on bottom. It is also interesting that the end of the top line is the symbol for Gold, leading me to believe its a formula... but then that was shot down when I seen he had to put them in a certain order.

So, I am lost as far as this thing goes. Did your friend ever figure it out? If so, can you post the solution? The least it would do is draw in outsiders who might be stuck on the same puzzle in this game. Just a thought.

Have you ever given someone gullible a 'puzzle' that wasn't actually a puzzle, but rather just a bunch of random crap that you told them was a puzzle?

I have

My boss figured it out somehow, I just gave up.. too many random symbols.

So did he tell you what it was?

I am not gullible enough to believe that.
