Thanks Syd , you learn something every day

The ???????* manuscript, an illustrated codex , has been studied by many professional and amateur cryptographers, and also puzzled scientists. Its still a great mystery to this day .The item is named* after a Polish/ American emigre who bought it in 1912 its dated around 500 years old and priceless .
To what is the name given to this very famous manuscript.... if anyone can figure out what it means a noble prize awaits... it was in the news recently as someone thought they had de cyphered it but alas it was not to be
below an ingenious fold out section ( its 500 years old remember ) and some text from with the codex
i know .. its a trivia question ... maybe the eggheads over there can get it if no one here can

until i saw the 30 million i thought the imposing entrance must be something to do with TJs Lily.
but other than that...is it the tokyo temple? i totally forget the name, saw it about 30 years ago.
Yes BB this is spot on.. there are two shrines in Tokyo but the below one is the more popular as of last week
Sensoji-Temple, Tokyo, Japan.

A and B are same colors? Please explain before I book an appointment for new specs.
If you get a small piece of white card and cut two small holes in it and then place it over A and B you will see they are the same colour.
Otherwise your brain fools you into seeing two colours , light and dark
Incredible ... or unbelievable..

Their neighbouring shades and the shadows make them appear completely different. Nice illusion
congrats Dixon...

well you were partly on track Syd... if you think about it , without giving anything away we will give you a Bronze . its all to do with Psychophysics or so it seems. The word squares is just a description and one could just call them tiles or checkers. ...the answer is a bit of a hammer blow to the head when one finds out whats going on here

this one is very well known among those that like these novelties...i see it in a copy of Scientific American ... the best of its kind and a real fooler in every sense of the word. This is E.H.Adelsons gift to the world.
The answer to this poses a sort of conundrum of its own....can you see what is remarkable about the two squares A and B ?

One guy I know suggested an AIS plugin router. It appears that it would cost 2000 for the router including setup and then 1000 a month.
https://www.ais.co.th/fibre/en/super_meshwifi.html
Any ideas gents?
These routers only work on Fibre Optic installations ...or so it seems
Basically you have three types of cable installs and they will each need a different router, the issue is that many Companies tell lies...
1 Fibre Optic.... the best but many companies tell lies and dont really have full Fibre unless you live Seoul so you probably need to get the router from the service provider so it matches up in case its not full Fibre
2 Fibre to the street Cabinet and short copper link to the home.. ( what many claim as Fibre)
3 Copper wire...... hopeless
of course then you have the Dongles ..most of these are useless ... may as well tether to your Device via smartphone
You will probably be limited to what wire the Condo has installed ... but u need to check it out
