visual - Identify the Missing Symbols


The symbols below appear to be some sort of nautical symbols: waves, sails, lighthouse markers, waterfall markers, directional markers, etc.



The spots are labeled with red letters, but the red letters have no meaning other than to label the spots, so that you can more easily refer to a symbol.


Each of the five spots marked with red question marks contain one of the shown 11 symbols.


Which symbols go in those 5 spots?

Answer



K = C
L = I
M = G
N = G
O = I



Because the squares represent:



the letters that spell out the phrase "ONE PLUS FIVE IS SIX".



Specifically, each square is constructed by:



1. Drawing each uppercase letter, in white on black
2. Cropping it down to the minimal bounding box
3. Breaking up the resulting black shapes and rearranging randomly
4. Collapsing duplicate shapes into one, with a number indicating how many of that shape you need to use




Via reconstruction, the original would have looked something like this:



one plus five
