word - Piece de Resistance - Seven Images Are Worth Digits


Seven Images Are Worth Digits


This puzzle is part of the "Piece de Resistance" series. Go back to Part 1 (Ace) for the story.
Ace Two Three Four Five Six Seven ...


Another colourful piece of work, this time on a white background, a bit more stretchy...

Answer



The following is my somewhat crazy interpretation of the rebus, which is either correct or way off:



First image:



The logo for Dash cryptocurrency, which I interpret as "-".



Second image:



A picture of iodine, which I found with a reverse image search that led me to this website which has the same image. I interpret this to be "i" which is iodine's chemical symbol.



Third image:




This shows a chord with three g notes, but only the bottom note is highlighted. I interpret this as low g, or stylistically: "log".



First image inside parentheses:



Dash from the Incredibles movie. I interpret this also as "-".



Second image inside parentheses:



The right part of a bone. I interpret this to be "one".




Putting it all together:



You get $-i\log(-1)$. It turns out that $\log(-1) = i\pi$, so substituting, you get $-i*i\pi$. Now, because $i*i = -1$, the expression simply becomes $\pi$. So I think the answer to the rebus is pi, which the title hints at because it has "digits".
