OK, so I post it once again (clearly it does not yield the correct answer, but...)

Take G4, and divide the numbers taking N, E, S, W and then the others: you get
A = [50 26 113 8]
and
B = [7 13 37 22]
Now: every number in A differs from another one of A by a multiple of 3.
The same holds for B. If you sum any number of A with any number of B, you get a multiple of 3. Quite nice, huh? In other words,
taking remainders modulo 3, you get [2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1].

I once concluded that the fourth glyph could give 3 as 'pattern', hence 'C' as answer, but clearly this is not the case. Any ideas?

BTW, in an earlier post, Claude said that both user and pass are 'just in front of us, in the dials', so that looking around for EA Poe, or Sundials, or whatever could be useless :(
