source code is a very hintful place

[touchsky]

[Tynka]

hint from the source tells you how to use the tool...

if you need more help, pm me what you have tried so far

[touchsky]

thanks for your help, i finally got it. i think my difficulty with this level was half due to my inability to use my pc properly, and half to do with my ignorance!!!

[OlgaZzZ]

I'm a Mac user, will i have problem with that in this level? I have the "key" but i have no idea how to use it.. And i search in google for --- but i didn't find anything improtant..

[Beezqp]

hs confirms if you have read the signs properly. Your reading wasn't proper.

[OlgaZzZ]

hmmm.... then i am still totally clueless in this level... I can't read the first picture right, the second one (with the circles) tells me absolutely nothing and what about the HS with the word --- ?

[Beezqp]

reading the first picture right is the point to start this riddle, so focus on this.

[OlgaZzZ]

Ok, i found the answer... 404 Not Found!! argh..

[Ic3b0ng]

I'm really stuck...

Can't read the first picture.. maybe my thinking is too complex...

Maybe someone give a little help?

[Beezqp]

just read it. no more to say.

[ruchi]

I have too much things unconnected
I've read all the post but I've been stuck for a week (the longest one since I began).
I don't know what the first picture with the numbers/letters mean.
I found a hint (circles and letters) but don't know how to use it.
How can I use the hint? or how to read the first picture?
Don't know which way to follow

[Tynka]

first picture --> hs
screen with circles and letters --> hs

find these hintscreens then ask google

[ruchi]

OMG!
A week trying, and then comes Tynka with a few words and... DONE!
hehe thank you again!

[Marlett]

well looking at the first picture I can see two normal ...s and using some imagination - another two. By rotating or mirroring the pic i don't see anything useful. Will the problem be solved when I understand how to use key.key? Because at the moment i don't have the slightest notion what to do with it

[Beezqp]

ignore key.key for a while and read the signs from the picture. They doesn't make sense at all but if you identify them right - very important HS will appear.

[Marlett]

oh, great. thanks)

wow...i solved the level without finding any 'screen with circles and letters' and hs to it...are they so unimportant?

[paFci0]

They're helpful but not necessary. As most of HS's.
Good for you that you can solve a riddle without usage of HS :}

[beatrix_kiddo]

that was no piece of cake..

[paFci0]

Ambitious you are, humble you will become. Proud, if you conquer the hell.

[Muzozavr]

Identified the signs on the picture, got the HS and now I'm asking Google for a good program, but evidently I'm not asking nicely enough, because I can't find it...

[Xanax]

Ask about the picture.

[Muzozavr]

Well I'm doing that!!! I just can't find an actual ---...

Either this riddle contains a mistake or the sim I found is botched (probably the latter) despite setting the parameters exactly as in the second picture, ONE letter (the first U) kept coming up as an S. I had to guess.

Hey.
me and my friend have been stuck on this god damn level for like more than a week and its frying our brains.
any chance of some help?
we have the screen with the circles and the --- thing. but we just don't know where to go from there.

if someone can help it would be much appreciated.

[Beezqp]

you got the writing on the main pic, you got the "look for" hint - then... look for it.

[fangs_up_411]

*WARNING! May or may not be spoiler-filled*
Hey again,
Me and my friend have tried again and have so far come up with nothing else helpful
So far this is what we've found.
We found the meaning of --- and found ---.
We also found the "find ---" page.
We thought this might of meant we need to --- for the --- but have not understood how to incorporate it into the level .
We have been stuck for ages and have read through all previous posts,
a BIG push in the right direction would be really helpful
Thanks

[Tynka]

just do what you think you need to do...

[Chezecaek]

Okay, so about this first picture. Those eh...signs are most definitely very legible as one of three or so words. Since it wasn't any of those I started trying every other possibility and still these signs yield nothing. So I noticed there were some other things sort of hiding by themselves and got a closer look. There I see a word which means something very, very hot. Still no hs.

Edit: Solved it. My abilities to comprehend those signs in the first page were pathetic. I was convinced that it was a word. How ignorant of me...

Could anyone give me a hint how to solve it without the software?
