What makes a man wise?
@gnovice. Thank you very much. In that case, I'm confident we transform this into the the letters of the alphabet. We've got to now wonder, though, what's next

The GGRBBBBR values ( picking out the corresponding R or G or B value) of the color codes in my last post are, for the light stripes: 22, 22, 10, 14, 18, 05, 07, 69. Now for the dark stripes: 15, 15, 07, 10, 13, 04, 05, 48. The last color is the only one with a color value above 26, so maybe an a1z26 transform could help us. Also, the morse code in the box before gives us 21. Maybe it's a cipher key?

From left to right, the html color codes are as follows. First, the bright Stripes: ff16b5, ff16b5, 0ad730, fa190e, 094112, a81905, 171a07, 1545b5. Now the dark stripes: b30f7f, b30f7f, 079722, af120a, 062e0d, 761204, 101205, 0f307f

Magic-preserving Permutations on a 4x4 Magic Square
Yes, Exactly! You've certainly the mind of a combinatorist :). I'm surprised though, these weren't in your answer above

The evisceration technique can be extended to yield many more. For the sake of simplicity, assume n is even. Then there are at least n(n-2)/4 from extended evisceration. My challenge to you, a subpuzzle, is to find this technique.

Unsolved Mysteries: D'Agapeyeff cipher
Something weird occurs in the 4th row, second to last group: 63630 does not follow the standard 6-9,1-5 pattern..I believe there may be two encryptions, separated by the strange 0

A puzzling note
I've tried that too in several ways. Maybe it's not the right approach. Since the pattern is on prime numbers I tried looking at the letters in prime positions. Nothing obvious emerges
