Anagramming not required...

Look closely at your "password" and then just doit.

vard · Posted: 2014-01-06, 12:59

There are several things you can doit with. Which seems the most logical?

Oh yes!! Thank you for your hint!

Found one hint screen. Trying to figure out why 2k is right (and what might be not right, or wrong).

don't need to figure out -why- it's right, it just is!

Yeah, I think I understand what makes it correct :lol:

Unfortunately everything now yields gibberish. Probably need to take into account the other... things.

IMO there are a few cases where it is technically ambiguous (if I am understanding the rule correctly).

if the number of cases is 2, then you're on the 2k track

although - what to do at those cases is something to experiment about

Found a blank hint screen.

EDIT: Ooo, found something as per the blank hint screen, but apparently I'm not quite there yet.

EDIT: Got a screen "lol, too far..." -- whatever this should have totally worked, lol (although really we COULD go further...)

EDIT: Seeing as I was too far, I pulled myself back a bit and made it to Chapter 5, but was taken ---...

EDIT: Haha, clever. Onto 52. I still think the "lol, too far" screen should have led to the Chapter 5 screen.

True -- makes sense.

Chezecaek · Posted: 2015-12-12, 01:38

Once you have the word that leads to the blank hs, do the other letters in the maze serve a purpose any longer? Does 2k, which is underlined, provide a clue as to what to do with those underlines?

Xanax · Posted: 2015-12-14, 20:14

The maze is over. You have what you need. Now do what it tells you.

Chezecaek · Posted: 2015-12-19, 07:49

So does that mean, that if someone showed me this word--just this word, with the underlines included, I could hypothetically arrive at the answer without ever seeing the level? Or am I misunderstanding that? My intuition points to a few objects in the picture that appear to stand out, according to the word's meaning...

Xanax · Posted: 2015-12-19, 12:19

Yes, having this "word" is enough to proceed. Underlines are irrelevant now.

Chezecaek · Posted: 2015-12-19, 19:32

I...I don't get it. Somebody save me! Send me a PM!

That was clever. 52 is threatening my life again...

does the correct password to this level include /only/ the letters from 'incorrect password'?
is it a meaningful word/s/?
can 'dothis dothis' be also described in this context as 'do thisdoth is'?

hope at least one of the questions will be answered)

If it were a password, it would've been immediately correct.

It's not a password, though. Think of it as of an instruction.

It's just a forum hint, but no... not really.

candlelight · Posted: 2016-06-18, 10:03

i got that it's an instruction, i was just reading it wrong /don't ask me how)/

52 now)

Stuck on the very beginning of this level. -____-

I really don't know how to interpret the hint in the source code. All I got is a (useless?) hint screen and it's not even the wordless hint screen you guys are talking about. Any nudge in the right direction?

(Actually, I have heard hints to think 'math' and that each cell = letter. But don't know how to interpret these hints.)

Muzozavr · Posted: 2017-07-15, 18:55

The HS you got isn't strictly useless. It tells you a little about what 2k actually means. Just a very simple number property that means it's "right".

The opposite, however, isn't wrong. As Beeqzp rightfully states, you can't even imagine how odd it is.

Once you figure out what the opposite is and how to use all this, find the longest path through the maze that satisfies these hints and continue on with the rest of the level.

The "wordless HS" is something that happens after you solve the maze and figure out what to do with that solution, so there's no way to get it prematurely.

I understand the opposite of right that's not wrong, but I still don't get the "property".

edit: I went with my intuition and got the blank hs. Wondering if I need to nag a ram.
edit 2: Got it! Is the this the "power of posting"?
To anyone who comes here:
You've looked down many times, but now you should look up. Then doit.
