For start try to complete the sequences. Why the middle number is 1? Think in "circle's way".

I think I've figured out the sequences, and I've drawn some lines, but I'm not getting any obvious words..

Words are very obvious here. Just think in lines and intersections.

Thanks to Tynka denying some wrong guesses on the first stage, I have finally drawn my lines and figured out a word... now staring at "turns forward"... :shock:

The first step was, after all, really neat. ;)

The wording on this part was confusing... 'Turns' is not really relevant here.

This level really needs a few more clues. There are just so many ways to interpret what we do have.

Right now I'm connecting the "forward 2" instruction to a certain 9-digit number in the picture, simply because nothing else appears to be logical. I have tried doing some weird things to the letters that I got previously in part a, but it all went nowhere.

... but even if the connection is right, where do I go from there? So many things one could do, so many possibilities... :/

HS gives you confirmation that you are on the right track.

Now go forward, starting from 2. Go. No more gibbie, I promise.

I know... but which way is forward? Even if my "connection" is right, I'm still clueless and if it's wrong and I have to do something else... then I'm even more clueless.

Is this tricky and hard or is it something that should be screamingly obvious and I'm just overthinking?

EDIT: Also, are the words "PAIN CIRCLE" somehow important in this part, or are they just there to be evil?

Obvious. Just go with the flow. If you've connected everything correctly, at least the first word is literally just looking at you. With the second there may be tricks.

51 now. Thanks, Beezqp.

VERY imporant hint for the "turns forward" part: once you start, don't interrupt your way. I was overthinking, separating the number into digits and using that, etc, etc, I actually got the first word correctly with the wrong method and was stuck because of that... don't overthink, forget about numbers, just find the right starting point and GO....

You actually don't need to find it. It is said.

I know, I just fail at communication right now because I'm looking at 51 and trying to figure out 2k's opposition...

And here again... I even have some PMs concerning this level from the previous time I worked on it, but they're too enigmatic to help. I'm on the first step, trying to figure out the way to draw the lines. I have the long numbers, but don't really see how

123454321 -> 1

and

999999999 ->9

but 2... is not 2 and so on.

Overthinking, I guess. Can somebody give me a hint concerning that step that isn't on the forum yet? Or, if not possible without spoiling, can I PM somebody?

I don't know... maybe "cardinal vs. ordinal" might be a good hint for that.

EDIT: Thank you for checking them, working on the letters now :bunny:

EDIT2: Thank you so much Strati for your assistance!! On 51 finally :bunny:

Welp I am off to a great start, 20 minutes in and not a single hint screen! On a rollllll~~

EDIT: I still can't figure out a damn thing. I have no clue how these numbers are being generated.

don't look for HS, solve numbers first

there is a pattern (simple math)
you used this method in the past ;)

Got the numbers (I was better off ignoring the source hint, to be honest)!

EDIT: Found a hint screen -- I think I know what to do, but there's an obstacle that makes this less intuitive to perform.

EDIT: I was wrong about my first hypothesis! However, I did figure out what to do and found the second hint screen. Unfortunately, it is pretty cryptic and I don't know what it means yet.

EDIT: LOL I can't believe that worked. Tough one, overall. Onto 51.

Heh, this level was actually easier for me than some of the previous...many have taken many hours or days, but I got this one a lot faster. Objectively, it's not fair to call it an easy level--it's fittingly hard for level 50--it was just that all my ideas were right for once.

cool level
wouldn't have made it without the hints on the forum though

'the circle turns forward 2' hardly makes any sense
it's more like 'downward from 2', while the circle doesn't turn anywhere at all)

btw, shouldn't there be eight dashes after 2 on that hs? it's seven now: 2-------
/i guess i'm the only one who bothered to count)/

I've drawn the lines and gotten the first HS. But I've read all the forum posts but still don't understand "forward". I've gotten the six letter word others talk about, but I know I need two.

IMO, the second is a bit trial and error. Just keep playing until you find something decent.

no, they should be seven as they are.

EDIT:
This must be the WORSTLY designed level in the game so far. For whoever gets stuck on part 3: The page with a word getting repeated like a million times is something you are supposed to get to AFTER solving the "turn a loop" part, and not a hint as to how to get there!!!
