Alright I think that I'm on the right track for 20b... Converted b***** to ABC... tried a couple things to derive 123s again but... I'm sorta stabbing in the dark. If I'm right in approaching it like 20a then what I'm getting seems... unusable.

So once I have the ABCs from b*****, I get 2 lines that are, as you mentioned, not ABCs. Any hints on how they should be handled?
**EDIT**
Thanks for getting me through that mess!

Hi. This is my first post, and i created account just becouse I am a little bit dissapointed. I got to 20b, and i thought it will be same, or at least similar way to solve it as 20a. But nooo... I've tried every single way, and then in the end, after I lost all my nerves, my friend, who is on level 22, told me that something completely different must be used in order to pass this freakin' level. He knew that becouse he learnt that in freakin' school. But how should I know that this is freakin' a.... code, and not the same as I used before?? After I started to play this game, which is very addictive by the way, I thought that general knowledge and sense for logic will be enough, but 20b proved me wrong. Now I don't know if it's even worth to keep on playin', cuz who knows what awaits me...

RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU FEEL GUILTY.
Now, really - you'll need at least minor aknowledgement of codes and cyphers, like morse code, numerical bases, caesar cipher - nothing you can't find in the internet.
I think I made the first step right, I converted the numbers in the middle into letters and got letters&two symbols. but i can't form a word or a sentence of it.
so i think i have to get umbers out of it again. but how? i tried the easiest way ABC=123 and now i have some numbers- but how do i get letters again??
this lvl overcharges me.. i've read this thread a thousand times and still can't find the solution. also some PMs from other users didn't help me- maybe someone has a good hint? PM me if it would be too spoily.
Okay! So I am STUCK on this level. D: I've done all of the conversions and whatnot and I ended up with the two words at the end of 20b. But I cannot get this grammar thing! I've been putting every phrase I can think of with these two words into the URL and I get nothing! If anyone could help me out, It'd be great. Thanks!
Hey, I'm stuck on 20b, and my uncertainty in my steps so far is preventing me from taking any further... may I pm somebody my results so far (and maybe get a little nudge in the right direction )?
On 20b. I got letters from the picture, then I can turn that into numbers...I think...Then into letters again....Maybe. Is it possible I got an F from a B?

Hmmm, then the hexidecimal thing has nothing to do with it? I tried swiching the letters for numbers is the "Simplest" way, but I have no idea what to do with them.. They seem to go nowhere.

Hi,
we're kind of stuck here. Passed 20a without any problems whatsoever, but 20b really stumps us. We made an initial conversion to letters (and two special characters) using a___i, which we suppose is correct, judging by some of the postings made in this thread.
But the reconversion to digits and letters still won't get us any meaningful words, let alone a sentence, to which we could apply this grammar-thingy-hint.
The simplest conversion would be 123=ABC and vice versa, as already stated in a few posts. But even if we're thinking in digits instead of numbers, the resulting "words" are just a bunch of letters without sense or structure. Could someone provide us with another hint concerning the right way of converting the intermediate results to actual words instead of gibberish?
So I am stuck on 20(b). I converted the numbers in the center into letters and got 8 letters and 2 of the same symbol. I do not know if I am on the right track but I converted those into numbers but I do not know how to convert those letters into other letters! Please help.
Hello i need some help here, I've been stuck on this lvl for several months( if you include the time the game was down). I've passed A now im on B and im lost. I have made one "transfomation" and have some letters and not letters. What now?????
So I got my B** W**** words, but no combination or grammatical changes seem to make it work right (I haven't even gotten a hint screen). A push in the right direction would be helpful.

ugh I feel like I'm SO close and it is very annoying.
also I have no idea how people seem to be pulling a W out of the numbers? Like I just can't make that work at all, but the result fits, and I can do the grammar thing on it, which gets me maybe four phrases I can think of that go nowhere in terms of "guess the URL".
and if I try to do it another way I get one word ("B**") and another which makes nothing ("B***H**"). From that trying different things I can get it down to B**** which using others' posts can somehow magically transform (no seriously how are you people doing that) into W----. I can also turn b into h making H**** which is funny but doesn't help me really.
The words being B** and W**** makes so much sense with everything in here it's killing me I can't get this right.
