Hello!

I am scratching my head over this page. Though it seems I am alone in this as I'm the first one to ask about it :-). I have tried just about every number combination I can. I think I see a pattern in the numbers with relations to the pictures but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any hints??

It's less math and more pattern recognition.

Spoiler!
There is a pattern in the numbers.
Spoiler!
My original thought was colour codes because an HTML colour code looks like #229A02. That was entirely incorrect, but it may have helped me out further. An HTML colour code is #RRGGBB where RR is how red it is, GG is how green it is, and BB is how blue it is. There is a similar kind of grouping involved here, though it's not always in the same order.
Spoiler!
There are three groups of items for each row, and six digits. Divide them into equal parts and see if you can find the pattern.

I can certainly see a couple patterns...just not sure where to focus on. Do the pictures on the page matter? One pattern I see is based on them.

All the pictures matter. They are the pattern.

Ok, then if I did it right I figured out 3 of the numbers. But I'm still unable to figure out the pattern for the rest. I think I've tried every combination of the numbers used in the previous 3 examples with no luck.

yoda basically told you to break each number block down into three pairs of numbers. I'll do you one better, this puzzle would work if the even digits weren't necessarily numbers

THANK YOU! I figured it out. I saw the pattern, but from a different angle and it was hiding half the answer. Rock n Roll!

Don't have the book with me, so I can't tell you how close you are, but please put potential answers in spoiler tags
