The Coded Portal

Hint 1 of 11:

Use the Help to refresh your memory on the use of an abacus.

Hint 2 of 11:

Note the position of the six Buddhas, and the direction each is facing.

Hint 3 of 11:

It is not always easy to determine the "face" of each Buddha; start with the
two facing directly right and left.

Hint 4 of 11:

Do you see any other distinctions between the six sides of the octagon that
contain an abacus?

Hint 5 of 11:

Note the dots toward the center of each of these six segments, immediately
around the Yin-Yang symbol.

Hint 6 of 11:

Perhaps the dots represent numbers?

Hint 7 of 11:

Perhaps those numbers are related to the six abaci?

Hint 8 of 11:

But not to the abacus to which they are adjacent.
