Aug 22, 2016 at 20:44 comment added DavidC I was able to find 12 sampling points that are sufficient for distinguishing, hence identifying, all of the 36 characters.

Aug 21, 2016 at 6:10 comment added DavidC Not by moving them around, but instead by using key sampling points to "divide and conquer". 5 bits or points are sufficient to uniquely identify, say, half of the characters. At least 5 more bits would probably be sufficient for all. This would likely save some space, but I'm not inclined to follow it through.
Aug 21, 2016 at 5:27 comment added Sparr Did you attempt to minimize the number of sampling points by moving them around?
Aug 21, 2016 at 5:14 comment added DavidC Nice tips and careful reading. Thanks.

Aug 20, 2016 at 23:38 comment added LegionMammal978 @DavidC Also, it appears as if some whitespace snuck through to your golfed code, and I count 571 bytes without it. Additionally, some functions can be converted to infix form. x[[All,2,1]] can be replaced with x[[;;,2,1]]. Flatten[x,1] is equivalent to Join@@x, and Flatten[#,1]&/@x is equivalent to Join@@@x. There are a few other minor optimizations that can be done. The 551-byte code after these golfs.

Aug 20, 2016 at 22:08 comment added DavidC @LegionMammal978, your suggestion led to a shortening of the code by over 100 bytes. I now understand better how Mathematica handles bases.

Aug 20, 2016 at 12:02 comment added LegionMammal978 @DavidC Seems like SE messed it up; try replacing {1118623, 2518818, ..., 16645599} with this.
