Outtie (Puzzle) #1

On page 77 of Fractalia, the youth (Darren, Sandra, Neelon, and Maria) have to solve their first puzzle.

The youth are trapped in a deep pit. There is no way out. There are four simple pictures carved into the pit wall. These pictures are like doodles, but they are called glyphs. What do the glyphs mean? That is the puzzle. Can you decode the glyphs? There is an illustration of the glyphs on page 69.

Remember, this puzzle is an outtie so it has many answers. Maybe your answer is better than the one created by the youth in the book. Send in your answer!

If you have the book, you can play along with this outtie. If you need to get the book, you can get one from either www.booklocker.com or www.amazon.com.

I think the glyph looks like a flagpole that is laying on the ground.

It is a crack in a sidewalk (nothing of the sidewalk, just the crack itself).
